Tyrone Shoelaces 11478 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 " Spiral " starts in 10 minutes on BBC4. The last in a series of French police crime thrillers. There are subtitles for us plebs who hated French at school. The guy who taught me used to send me into town to buy midget gems for him in our lessons. He knew I was a hopeless case. I bet Gumboots will tuning in though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's been great right from the first series. She had me watch the recent chess film, " Queens Gambit ? " That's worth watching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
den 6925 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Watched Benedict Cumberbatch in the imitation game. A film about Alan Turing. Not a new film, but very good. What I’d never realised was that even into the fifties, this country offered homosexual men a choice of a prison sentence or hormonal therapy if they had been found guilty of “indecent activities” - whatever that is exactly. Turing took the hormonal therapy along with its side effects. Can’t believe our country did that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always feel that as long as people are alive who were alive back when something was common practice, the shadows linger. Eg: Homosexuality stopped being illegal in the early 70s. Only once people born in the 80s are the oldest in society will homophobia finally start to fade imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it wasn't for Mrs Shoelaces I wouldn't watch much TV either. We have a radio in every room, all tuned to Radio 4. That's our source of entertainment for most of the time. If I leave my wife at home for a full day every radio will be on, along with every light, and every door will be open. When I retired I made it a rule not to put the TV on until the 6 o'clock news.

gumboots 4352 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I never turn on tv or radio although I dont turn it off if its on, especially if I'm in on my own at night. Kim's the TV watcher. But much of what we watch is stuff we've recorded. We watch very little live, except for sport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing the new (and last) series was starting I decided to download the fist few series that we never saw. I can't remember when we came in so I downloaded everything the BBC had, all 73 episodes - it took all night for them to download. We have one episode of the very first series to watch tonight. I should catch up sometime in February! We watch an awful lot of subtitled TV. It's one great advantage apart from the usually high quality, assuming you can't understand the language, is that you have to watch the screen the whole time and the temptation to be constantly glancing at your phone/iPad is removed.

windymiller7 1166 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago (edited) Finished The Serpent a couple of nights back. Thought it was a slow starter but excellent from Ep2 onwards. Also finished Designated Survivor a couple of weeks ago - wow, some of the stuff was a bit close to the bone saying it was recorded 2 or 3 years ago! Starts with bombing of the Capitol FFS! Some of the other storylines get a bit close too, but I'll not give anything away for those who haven't seen it. Just started Mindhunters (Netflix). Set in 1970s, FBI - Enjoying it so far.

The Mrs says its the best thing she has seen on Tv for years, I may give it a go myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
