"I liked Black Bird but wouldn't go way overboard on it like you have. Mind you don't you love pretty much everything apart from Beatles docs? There are the great shows, then there's the rest, and this one gets filed under the rest."

.... and the best thing about it it's only 6 episodes so your interest does not wander unlike some box sets that you start and they seem to go on for ever... Breaking bad etc...

"Thirteen Boys, about the Thai kids stuck in a cave is excellent, though I'm only half way through, as it's a long un. Probably wouldn't have watched it until I saw it was directed by Ron Howard. On Amazon."

"Gaffer, Time to think about a new telly I'm afraid. Everything is now being filmed in 4K HDR (high dynamic range) and film makers are shooting stuff darker and darker because most new TVs can differentiate between black and not quite black. They do the same thing with whites too and proper highlights are now searingly white. It basically comes free with a pretty modern TV and especially OLED TVs (if you're using a top spec Samsung, Sony or Apple etc phone it's the same technology) and looks and sounds fantastic - bundles better than an older TV. In fact it's a bit weird to go to the cinema and be constantly reminded that unless they are like a Lux and use a proper digital projector the cinema picture can't render black properly and is instead a muddy dark grey. It's got to the point where given the choice nine out of ten times I'd rather watch a film on my 65 inch Panasonic than pay 12 quid to watch it at my shitty local cinema."
