"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

I've now witnessed Darlene get naked and laid not once but twice in Ozark. The makers really are sick cunts.

Northern Sold 10:16 Mon May 25 Haha. The Barry White of Basketball

"Northern Sold 10:16 Mon May 25 Ha Ha. Bloke certainly got screwed over on the contract side early on and very much the unsung hero.. Divided option re his his commitment at times, but never in doubt during that final game doing. 5 min shifts between the physio table. Ovrrall a great watch."

Hermit = Scottie Pippen

I thought it was good but far from the best sports documentary ever. The main reason was because Jordan had a big hand in controlling the narrative of it so we only got to see what he wanted us to see. The best documentaries should be a bit more objective than that.

I am not much of a basketball fan but really enjoyed The last dance

[Manuel]

Do you need to have an interest in basketball to like the last dance?

"Have been steaming through Taskmaster again. Not just the best programme ever on Dave, but would rival many of the comedy shows on any channel."

did anyone else watch brookside and crack one out over that redheaded mental one who got off with a bird|? also was a permed headed bit dark haired bit like a scouse Kelly brook. I had one of my first hand offs to her. also there was a right dirter in it who was going out with a right la scouse coke dealer ; she was like an early scouse version of Jodie marsh only without the mooey and a bit cleverer. ba and te were legendary. coked up fooking tear ups la - and it also had the socialist worker party hero rickery Tomlinson in it who was so scouse he once rowed a ferry cross de Mersey cavernsy werking class crack proper bubble bit of a la right old crack lar - cross de mershey such jokers dem scouse lahs

Just watched a rerun of the second series third episode of 'rainbow'. Bungle attempts an armed robbery which goes badly wrong and results in a passing lollipop lady having the top of her skull blown off with a sawn off shooter discharged by an accident. as bungle and the other blaggers skintch about trying to save the blag - the gavvers turnt up in a capri pretty sharpish and bungle gets copped for by the Sweeney - and ends up on the wrong end of a 7 stretch for attempt murder and armed robbery in Belmarsh. one of my favourite episodes of rainbow and notable for being the first depiction on English tv of a bear being nicked for armed blaggery - and for being about slags getting pinched and going behind the door for a naughty bit of work gone wrong. so earthy and 1980's. this was all before live aid and before boy George lost his barnet and strapped a gay prosser to a radiator.

"Just concluded the 1979 BBC production of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Quite simply a pinnacle of dramatic production that we're unlikely to see again. Forgive my hyperbole, but the ensemble cast, the script by Arthur Hopcraft from Le Carre's book is peerless. 7 hours of a TV masterwork - if you haven't seen it yet - do so - you won't be disappointed. By the way, not the first, or last time I've viewed this."

I’ve just finished the final two episodes of The Last Dance and can highly recommend it. The series itself is brilliant but the final episode is exceptional. Sport at its very best and drama until the very end. What an incredible athlete Michael Jordan was and Phil Jackson was a genius coach. Great to see behind the scenes and also hear from some of the lesser known players too. I had zero interest in basketball before watching and that will probably continue to be fair - but it’s a must watch for any sport lover.

"If art is your thing have a gander on BBC iPlayer at The Renaissance Unchained with Waldemar Januszczak, 4 episodes of pure delight."

"What we do in the shadows is as funny as fuck, even better than the film and the second series is even better than the first. We all could do with a bit of cheering up at this moment and a bunch of vampires from Shitty Statarn Island who are scared of everything is the antidote. Especially when two of the vampires are Matt Berry and Novan Kovach of Phonjacker fame."

"tr3bor 11:39 Thu May 21 Great series that. Features Steven van zedtd of sopranos fame,also a member of Bruce Springsteen's E street band. I really enjoyed Lillyhammer. Where's it being shown?I missed a couple first time round."

"Joe C 9:28 Fri May 22 Stick with Justified I'm a total bore about the series - initial episodes were pretty much one-offs until the narrative thread developed. Great dialogue,great cast,great production - blah blah blah. It's clear I'm a fan - if I've watched all 6 seasons 30 times, I'm probably low. Usual disclaimers. Continue & enjoy."

[Joe C]

Have started Justified. So far so good
