"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?"

"Swiss. 3:18 Tue Nov 23 I really do hate being a pendant but for people on here who would like to have a Google up on an incredible WW1 story, possibly one of the very best war stories ever told it's Vimy ridge."

SurfaceAgentX2Zero 11:35 Tue Nov 23 Well spotted. Pretty much anyone other than historians - and certainly not those in 'the arts' - have simply never been able to get over the simplistic 'lions led by donkeys' narrative that took root after post-war disillusionment. It's a great disservice to those who fought and died.

"Watching 'Invasion' - an Apple TV series. Ok and quite intriguing bu,t as always, they seem to love padding these series out a bit when it could get to the point a lot quicker. Have to keep watching now though as its hard to fathom the outcome."

"There's a new Amazon series ""The Wheel of Time"" which is absolute shite. It's not the new GOT. for sure. I actually read the books as a teenager and I don't seem to remember them being this bad. Generally I don't quite understand Amazon and their attempt to rival Netflix as a streaming entertainment option. I mean this so low budget and it's like SiFy channel. Why they'vre got the dosh surely."

"I never watch ITV as the ads get on my tits, but now you can pay £3 a month and get it ad free. So I watched Fearless, starring the late, great Helen McCrory. Very good it is too."

"Just started watching ""the lost symbol"" on Sky, which is based on the Dan Brown book. Bit shit, to be honest. Doesn't feel the same not having Hanks playing Langdon. Easy watching though."

"Just watched that Our World War. Pretty good and quite accurate as to the facts. But what horrible little BBC Remoaner cսnt added the caption at the end that said, 'Mons was a humiliation for the British'? It was so far from being a humiliation that it is regarded as a victory for the British (or at least a draw) by most historians on both sides. The BEF achieved its objective (to prevent the French being quickly surrounded and annihilated) against insurmountable opposition and retreated in good order. They were only forced to withdraw by the collapse of the Cheese-Eaters on their right flank. Far from being humiliated, the BEF's performance that day was a huge boost to its morale."

jfk 9:54 Sun Nov 21 Agreed thought that was brilliant viewing. The one where our professional troops meet the German conscripts for the first time at Mons was captivating. Totally authetic. What a hero that Captain....shot 3 times and still manning the machine gun.

"Gomorrah the TV series. Bleak but totally compulsive Naples mafia series. Input from Roberto Saviano, young journo, who’s still in hiding after exposing the Neopolitan mob. Bit like the Wire but like Sopranos Can’t recommend enough."
