Secrets of the London Underground.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

Glad you mentioned this and have recorded series.
Watched an episode earlier today.
What happened to Baptiste? Is that a lock down haircut and beard combo? 8O ::):

Love my soothing wee half hour of watching Bob Ross paint. :)

Henrysix,

I think Fiona Shaw is a good actress and suited to playing part as the ambassador.
Guy who plays Baptiste is amazing too.

Looking forward to watching next few episodes.

Get Back on Forces TV starting Ray Winstone, Larry Lamb, Carol Harrison and John Bardon a Grans/Marks sitcom from the early 90s, loving it great humour!

The Happiest Days of Your Life (1950).

Confusion reigns when St Swithin's Girls' School is accidentally billeted at Nutbourne College: a boys' school. The two heads, Wetherby Pond (Alastair Sim) and Muriel Whitchurch (Margaret Rutherford), try to cope with the ensuing chaos, as the children and staff attempt to live in the newly cramped conditions (it being impossible to share dormitories or other facilities), and seek to prevent the children taking advantage of their new opportunities.

Taking a wee break from my NCIS rewatchathon, and giving the 1988/89 series of Mission: Impossible a go.

I'm a massive fan of the original 60s series, hate the Tom Cruise movie franchise (as did the original TV cast members) because they A: Miss the point the series as trying to make, and B: Are fucking terrible.

However, this late 80s series (filmed in Australia during the 1988 Writers Guild of America strike, and using recycled/updated scripts from the original) is new to me.

Two episodes in, and it's not very good. I'd have been as well saving my money.

I have been watching the 'I am' series about women in various situations where they have to make decisions which can be life changing. The problems range from being stuck in coercive relationship to being left in spiralling debt when a partner walks out. The most recent ones are a woman who seems to have it all but struggling with mental health problems and then a woman who thinks she has found ideal partner but all is not as it seems.

They are not cheerful topics but I think some of the actresses are superb and am on second series.

Deception on Sky Alibi a magician is involved in an apparent manslaughter or is he or could it be his twin brother, enjoyed it, less so Professor T finding it difficult to warm too, then there is The Equaliser on Sky Witness with Queen Latifah in the starring role, first episode was quality!
