Yes, it's rather fun streaming something that was on in the UK 9-10 and available to watch by 9 here. If that keen of course.

I plan on watching the England game on ITV via Filmon shortly.
Just started watching. The commentators were saying Reina should have had a red card. The game is on Sportsnet 1 @ 23h eastern time. They usually have the 'world feed' commentators not the ITV guys and thankfully not the Fox Sports 1 numpties (Warren Barton)

Yes, Sir Clive seems to have forgotten that DOGSO in the penalty area is no longer a red card.

Rillington place
BBC production set in the post war period showings the events in the infamous 10 Rillington Place- John Christie the serial killer played very finely by Tim Roth and Ethel his wife likewise by Samantha Morton.
The tabloids in the UK were moaning that he was mumbling...he was gassed in WW1 and couldn't speak more than at low volume....Maybe they would have been happier if Brian Blessed had been cast

Oh I'll watch that. I like Tim Roth.
In olden days I had friends who lived in one of the new houses built on Rillington Place. There was always an odd feeling about being there

I see that there is a little memorial garden on the actual plot of the house- I could imagine that it wouldn't feel 'quite right/normal'

I don't remember seeing or being told about a memorial garden. It seemed that there was a preference to hide any connection.

I googled it- not exactly something that they would broadcast- otherwise lots of seirdos would be attracted to the place

Season 2 of The Romeo Section concluded this week.

It really has been the best thing on TV for a year.

The lack of interest is nothing short of criminal.

I've watched the first two and it's a good production. Running at same time there's one on ITV about Peter Manuel the Scottish mass murderer called In Plain Sight. Manuel was a monster.

I've binge watched Fleabag which I think was on BBC and enjoyed it very much. For trash TV I've started watching The Royals. Pleasant amusing nonsense.

Wow, that's pretty creepy.
The 1971 film with Dicky Attenborough was partially shot in 10 Rillington Place.

I watche d the rest of this- three parter- very well cast and the set was looking at the original crime scene photos very accurate


Salem-Just started watching this, three seasons- probably won't appeal to anyone- I sometimes feel like Canuck74 might feel with his music - niche and unloved with my weird tastes in viewing

Its about witches.........No sh!t
