Re: Tele
Yes I do! 
I miss watching "Walking Dead".
Am fan of "V", love "Modern Family", now a fan of "Chicago Code" and "Being Human". And have really enjoyed "An Idiot Abroad".
I also will watch most anything on the Syfy channel, the Major Syfy fan that I am!
I instant play from Netflix...lots of BBC series TV. And if I can find my fav TV shows at "On Demand"...a whole less commercials..thank you very much!

Yes I enjoyed The Walking Dead. (I didn't recognize the lead character from This Life). I saw a few of the Idiot Abroad, that was pretty good.

Endgame
Canadian detective PI type drama...it's weird and a bit slow, but I really liked it.
It's about this master chess champ who after watching his wife being killed suffers acrophobia and can't leave the hotel, so he's running up huge debts and drinking lots of vodka and gets into solving a few crimes along the way using his analytical skills rather than anything else, which is all rather amusing

Only Fools & Horses
Porridge
Men Behaving Badly

Re: Tele
You may like Judge John Deed. I borrowed series 1&2 from my local library and have just ordered the next 3 series from Amazon UK. We have an all zones dvd player so get rels to send us stuff from the UK for xmas etc. Watching Auf Wiedersehen Pet at present. the one where they take apart the Boro's transporter bridge. Wonder if Expat's site could do a dvd swop shop? I wouldn't throw Matrin Shaw out of bed on a cold night that's for sure.
I don't go for older men as a rule, but maybe in his case, I could make an exception 
That said, I liked him as Adam Dalgliesh in in the two adaptations of P.D. James' books "Death in Holy Orders" and " The" Murder Room"

The original movie starred Joan Crawford and her performance in it got her an Oscar.

Re: Tele
Break Out Kings....I'm enjoying it as a daft tele show, though this last episode was annoying.
They bebopped from NYC to Boston, Andover and Lowell in no time at all, and even less up to Bar Harbor, ME which is rubbish as that's about a 5.5hr drive from Boston alone.
There's no way they drove from Andover to Lowell in minutes as they're complete opposite ends of civilisation and there's no way you'd take I-95 to get to Lowell...the Greenline T that they took doesn't even go to where they got on and the change over to the red line is Park St, not Charles River where they were supposed to me.
A few gaffs is one thing, but this took the mick.
