Re: Goggle box- anything worth watching on TV?
Just finished watching season 2 if that.... a lot of critics panned it, I still enjoyed it it though. I dont tend to pay a lot of attention to professional critics, their reviews never seem to hold any water. Id rather listen to what a friend had to say about it....or 'normal' people's reviews.

In the first series I really felt for her......especially when she attempted suicide, her life was in ruins, but she managed to turn it around and move on. However in the second series she let the hatred consume her and she was just as bad as him! The child was the only decent one....no wonder he hoofed it out of there!

I have just watched, and thoroughly enjoyed, "What We Did On Our Holidays" on Netflix, which is a 2014 film, which I hadn't heard of. It has Billy Connoly and David Tennant and a host of other favorites and is Great British comedy at its most wry and gentle best. I normally steer clear of comedies with children but this one was funny, a good family film with no bad language or sex and the sort of scenery that makes me wonder why the hell I'm living in chilly Canada and not the warmer Highlands. Enjoy

Sinner completed.
Good to see Peaky Blinders return. Watched S4 ep1 on iPlayer tonight and then followed with first part of documentary Drugsland featuring Bristol.

The new Mary Berry programme is very good, she is visiting country houses, doing a little cooking but also finding out about the history of the house and the families that own it. First of the Series was Highclere House, much better known to TV fans as Downton Abbey, the interior shots show it looking so much like the YV programme, although the kitchen scenes were shot in the studio, the Highclere kitchens are very modern so would have been unable to be used.

Peaky bleeping Blinders.
The excellence has been maintained into the fourth series. Adrien Brody is wonderfully over the top like so many of the characters.

I'm slowly making my way through a bit of an oldie. Mad Men...a wholesome clean cut look at the advertising world of the 60's when people didn't smoke/drink/cheat on spouses.
