Halfway through "Last Kind Of The Cross"...not too bad, some of it is a bit naff, but there's violence and tits.

Yeah I watched about 20mins and switched off. There is acually no good series out there since The Studio. 
Check out Smoke on Apple.
Thanks Alfs. Three episodes into Smoke and I like it. Bit slow but what can I say they are all slow burners these days....excuse the pun😊
I agree, but the review I read says it starts of slowly but the tension ratches up as it goes along.

As it's a TV thread just thought I would plonk this on here.  Found out recently from someone that if you have had your Sky dish for years and it's gertting on a bit Sky would replace it for nothing.  I don't have any insurance with them so didn't really believe it, but a quick live chat last week and today an engineer installed a brand new one and took the old one away for nothing.  Least they could do considering the price you pay!!  So if you need a new dish and are with Sky just give them a shout and you will get a new one.

Binge watching Shine on Harvey Moon at the moment, another classic from the 80,s, in the last few months the whole catalogue has been added to YouTube👍

TBH has not dated and still a very VERY good watch, loads of familiar faces, Elizibeth Spriggs though as Nan is superb🤣, Witzend productions also made Auf Wiedershen Pet, another 80,s classic, but Harvey Moon used to pull 18 million plus viewers when it aired, not too shabby by any measure!.

highly recommend both for anyone not old enough to remember
no idea if run by ITV but there's an ITV Retro channel on youtube and it's uploading episodes of The Prisoner. it's brilliant stuff if you haven't seen it

Alfs wrote: 05 Jun 2025, 18:02 I too am enjoying Dept Q.  I wasn't even aware it was set in Edinburgh but refusing to watch a show because of it's location is a bit odd..

Also enjoying Stick on Apple.  
It's just personal as I spent 4 months working there for a client in St Andrews Sq. I stayed at The Wavely Hotel near the station. The Scots hate us and I hate them. The boozers are naff and all it does it rain and the wind never stops. The architure is bleak and miserable.
