Hastily trying to catch up on the Big Allotment Challenge as I didn't realise it had started! OH and I agree that it is not as much fun as it was when there were couples. Also enjoying Iolo's Welsh Parks.

We watch one episode but, not being religious, found it a little heavy-handed in that department. On the other hand, really enjoyed Granchester.

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs

Last night I watched Alex Polizzi in "The Fixer" cause a lot of distress to the owners of the Singing Kettle Tearoom in Torquay. A review by Christopher Stevens of the Daily Mail puts the tearoom as being 20 minutes from the seafront next to a tower block on a main road.

It is in fact about 100 yards from the seafront adjacent to a 3-storey hotel, and is not on a main road. I live in Torquay so know exactly where it is. CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews Alex Polizzi: The Fixer and Paul O'Grady's Animal Orphans | Daily Mail Online

Loved The Bridge, at least Bron/Broen the Danish/Swedish version. I think it's back some time this year. They began filming the third season last year. Can't wait.

I also loved that bit, and all the film clips of him in different roles.

Don't read the next comments if you don't want spoilers!

Spoiler:

Yes, I do understand those irritations, but not bothering me much. OH is like you - he still wants to see what happens in the end. Can't be all that bad then, eh?
