Herman 9,713 Posted August 15, 2020 BBC4 are repeating The Bridge from the very start. If you didn't see it it is a brilliant series. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,199 Posted October 18, 2020 Challenger:the final flight. 4 part Netflix documentary. Really interesting so far. Tells the story of the astronauts and the aftermath of the disaster as they try to determine what went wrong. Also on a space theme. Saw First Man the other day about Neil Armstrong. Good stuff.

The Raptor 1,199 Posted December 19, 2020 The Mandalorian is so awesome. The last episode was the best Star Wars thing since the original trilogy. So good I've got up early to watch it for a second time before work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,089 Posted December 19, 2020 We’ve been going through a Welsh noir thing. Hidden is good and Hinterland is superb. Don’t think there’s any more in the same vein so going to move onto the Scandi versions which we missed the first time round. We’ll start with The Bridge since you recommend it Herman.

Is it on catch up @Nuff Saidor somewhere else? (I'm right into my Welsh thing at the moment, especially the language). We have recorded the Bridge but it's on the Xmas week to watch.

We have recorded the Bridge but it's on the Xmas week to watch. Both on iPlayer SC. Hidden is bilingual with subtitles for the language so ideal. Hinterland was originally in Welsh and remade in English, so not as helpful if you’re trying to learn it. There’s Keeping Faith as well which was remade in English and isn’t bad but not so atmospherically “Welsh”. What’s amusing is that there’s obviously a fairly small pool of Welsh speaking actors so they all pop up in different roles in each series. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect some of the same actors will have been in the Indian Doctor too 😅 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,436 Posted June 10, 2022 Anyone ever watched The Terror? So striking the difference between the 2 series and so difficult to adjust if you liked the 1st series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,948 Posted June 11, 2022 If you missed it the first time round, Manhunt is very good. Dramatisation of the hunt for Levi Bellfield in season 1, and the night stalker in season 2. Its based on the memoirs of Colin Sutton who led both investigations. Martin Clunes plays Sutton. On ITVplayer and worth going back for if you missed it. I've just rewatched both series Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings of a Sparrow 1,409 Posted June 11, 2022 Just watched Night Sky on Amazon Prime. A bit off beat but enjoyable. Need to find time for Pistol on Netflix, based on Sex Pistols Steve Jones' memoirs. Slagged off by old punks before they'd even seen it, but now getting very good reviews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's on Disney Plus, not netflix. I thought it was ok. Not brilliant but watchable. The actor playing Johnny Rotten has him absolutely nailed. Unbelievably good acting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
