for those who have Netflix I am watching a Scandanavian show called "Rita". About teacher who is rather unorthodox. Dunroving might be up your alley..

For those who enjoy Danish and Swedish TV, there are several movies worth a look.

Rembrandt or Stealing Rembrandt being one. Find something you like and then checkout the director or writer on IMDB and you may be surprised at the connections.

There's a series of movies with a journalist called Annika Bengtzon which are very good.

Some good series re-starting - The Village (tonight), and new series of Last Tango, Downton, and Scott & Bailey (soon).

The Mill also re-started recently but I find it a bit too much of a "grim oop north" caricature.

Any others starting up soon that anyone knows about?

Doctor Who in two weeks.

I couldn't wait that long and found a stream.

What did you all think of Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who? Loved all the Scottish references

I have not watched Dr. Who since the days of Jon Pertwee. Feel I've not missed much and no desire to see latest version..

Tirytory

How can you judge something without actually watching it? Bonkers!

Anyway I have watched it, and it's quality television, excellent plots, brilliant acting, clever funny script writing, and a lot more money to screen it with than back in ye olden days fwiw....and you can't argue with me as you never seen it!

fulwood

Tiny Tim, or whatever your name is. Who is judging it? I said I would not miss it as I am not interested in the genre of program such as Dr. Who.

Dr Who is like Marmite.

That's how I read your post. Maybe Tirytory misunderstood...easy to do when you are not speaking face to face.

To be fair, you originally said nothing about it being to do with the genre of the show.

I'm tempted to ask, if you don't like the genre, why you ever watched it back then. Maybe you had the hots for Jon Pertwee or Katy Manning.

You either love it or you have no sense of taste you mean?

Rosie Lee

Dr who, is one of those programs, if it's on in the room, you end up watching it, even if you didn't want to. Sign of a good show, I think!

trottytrue

BristolUK.......so which stream did you jump into sorry about that just my sense of humour....
But seriously when you say you found it on stream do you mean YouTube or something else......

fulwood

I watched it cos' had no say in the manner. When you raised with 12 children and told by houseparents what to watch that is what you do. No more needs to be said.
