I've watched two episodes of this on Hulu - very good program!

Jerseygirl

Bancroft...series 2. Excellent

I swear Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner plays the part of Bancroft.

Jerseygirl

The Virtues. A gritty, dark, 4 part drama about an Irish guy down on his luck...when he decides to go back to Ireland to face the demons from his childhood. Worth watching.

I've started watching that, first 4 episodes of series 1 done so far, it's good, rather dark, but good.

Does it have English sub titles or is it dubbed in English?

mikelincs

Sub titles, but it is also partly in English as there are FBI agents involved.

Jerseygirl

OK thanks. I find it very distracting when the subtitles don’t correspond with the mouth movement.

All on Prime.

Hello All, I've recently had to switch from file sharing back to streaming sites for my UK shows. Does anyone still use a VPN to watch BBC iPlayer etc? I just tried using Nord VPN but can only get ITV2/3/4 Live. No recorded shows, and no luck at all on BBC and Ch4

Is there a better VPN for this than Nord?

Thank you.

Anyone been watching Des, the docudrama about Dennis Nilsen. I love stuff like this. Real life, retro and with great acting. David Tennant is fantastic in this. Really does capture that insane normalness that someone commuting these type of acts would have to have. Love the whole 80’s thing, the DCI driving round in his MK3 Escort, everyone chain smoking like a chimney! One of the best things I’ve watched in ages. Can’t wait to see the final part tonight when I get back from work.

Was at Willesden when that investigation kicked off. Quite eerie going into 185 Melrose Ave, where he had lived, wondering what was under the floors. He was posted to the relief I eventually joined albeit a few years after, as least one of the guys in my time had worked with him.

Interesting story. At the back of the Melrose Avenue house was open land. It was between the back of those houses and the ones in Park Ave North. Sometime before it all kicked off a lady came into the front counter with a bag of bones she had found on the open land. Station Officer examines contents, decides it's a dead animal and throws it in the dustbin in the station yard. Eventually it all kicks off and lady comes back and says "whatever happened to the bag of bones I handed in".

I bet! You mean DCI Jay? The guy who plays him does a great job of portraying him (although obviously I never knew the guy). I’m guessing as Nilsen was only charged for the 6 murders, the way the Met closed down the investigation in the show must be pretty accurate. A bit of a smack in the face to the team putting in all the hard work.

After being geographically blocked, it now appears the new Spitting Image full episodes are available on YouTube. It’s brilliant, although at the moment, I guess a lot of jokes right themselves. The Dominic Cummings puppet is freakin hilarious. It’s also funny that Trump is such a real life characature, they haven’t felt the need to exaggerate anything. It’s a pretty accurate representation, even down to his white, non tanned eyes LOL.
