Anybody watch Mrs Wilson on PBS, known as The Wilsons on BBC. A true story and very interesting.

I found S5 Ep 1 of Line of Duty on YouTube last week but so far all of the links for Ep2 are taken down and I can't get the Iplayer to think I'm in the UK anymore. If only the BBC made the Iplayer available outside of the UK for a fee and it worked as an app on Smart TV's.

It's over the topness and silliness makes me think of things like Tales of Sherwood Forest, Underworld, Beiderbecke trilogy and, more recently, Patriot.

I haven't followed Formula One since before I moved to Canada (so >15 years). But I must admit to enjoying the Netflix "Drive to Survive" documentary series on the 2018 season. It's very well done.

Yes, via my laptop.
But I got a little fed up up with the unplugging everything where I have my laptop, taking it to the TV, connecting up and then all in reverse again. Too many plugs, cables and stairs involved.
For $99 I bought a very good refurbished thin desktop and I have that connected up with the necessary browsers and add-ons. It sits nicely under the TV.

I do the same Bristol, old laptop with everything ready to go. I use SaferVPN (Multiple devices) 100% success rate for BBC IPlayer now for about 9 months ( I think their tech team pro-actively work hard at this area) If it stops working for a day or day (which it did 9 months go) they get it back quite quickly with new ip adds :-)

In case you are interested, TSN show all of the grand prix live and obtain their feed from Sky so English commentators and lots of pre-race and post-race comments. They have a qualifying show too. Shanghai grand prix is this weekend.

It was a shame that Mercedes and Ferrari didn't allow access and the drama was left to Guenther Steiner et al to provide. One could be forgiven for not realising that Hamilton and Vettel had a great fight for most of the season, or that they won most of the races!

Line of Duty, episode 3 done and Killing Eve episode 2.
A whole week until the next ones. This is weird, but they are so good, this way they get to last a bit longer.

Norwegian series from a few years ago. Mammon. Available on 4OD (but maybe only the second season) or it's on Dailymotion.com where I'm watching.
Only seen first episode so far but I shall watch more.

I notice Ep.1 of the show The Looming Tower is showing on BBCiPlayer. This is a production of Amazon Prime Video and all the episodes (10) are available there. I watched it all on Amazon when it first appeared there. Thought it a good production and a exciting show. I’m encouraged to watch it again.

Re: Goggle box- anything worth watching on TV?
Started the second season of Icelandic "Trapped" on BBC iPlayer but unfortunately I wasn't in time to catch the second episode before it disappeared.
So far I can only find unsubtitled versions on other sites so it'll have to wait, presumably until Netflix adds it to the first season..

But how much can I remember of part one two months ago?
