"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?"

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.

"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."

"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."

"Series 1 of Westworld was very, very good. Series 2 was stupid as it tried to be too clever. Series 3 was back to being very good"

"What is Westworld like? Watched the first episode and not sure whether it's going to be worth the investment, apart from loads of tits on show."
