I use AceVPN and have had no issues at all.
New drama called Frankie started on BBC1 on Tuesday. She's a district nurse and first episode was good and I think it shows promise.

Did anyone see Olivia Coleman at the BAFTA awards? OMG she was hilarious. I don't know whether she's normally that dippy but I just couldn't help but laugh...she's wonderful!

It reminded me very much of the earlier detective novels by Anne Perry.

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
Olivia Coleman is amazing and what is even more amazing is that she won 2 BAFTA's - one for a gritty dramatic role in a fabulous series called 'Accused' and the other for a brilliant comedy - '2012'. A very versatile and talented actress. I would be very surprised if she isn't at least nominated in 2014 for her role in 'Broadchurch'!!

I agree totally!!
I hope Broadchurch get nominated too..and David Tennant for his role in it I'm liking Olivia more and more, and just watched episode one of 'The suspicions of Mr Whicher'. I had to laugh at the red carpet treatment before the BAFTA's when she was interviewed about trying to get DT to go out for a drink and he just wanted to go home to a nice cup of tea to study lines.....

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
Me too. Last night, I tried to watch Murder on the Homefront. I was looking forward to it, but, Foyle's War it is not! To me it felt like a spoof with overacting, loud music and too much influence from CSI type shows. I had to turn it off. I suppose I should have been watching the Eurovision Song Contest.
Needless to say, I was so pleased to hear that Case Histories is returning this evening because I really enjoyed the first series.

I watched the first episode but I won't be watching the second. I also watched the first 2 episodes of a Life of Crime following a police woman through 3 decades. I enjoyed that. Friday nights, ITV1

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
Last night I watched all 3 episodes of The Ice Cream Girls. I thought it was very good...the best program I've seen in a long time.
IMO David Tennant is an average actor. I can't say I've ever seen him in anything that was outstanding.
