BBC4 Saturday evening

I caught up with it last night - I thought it was very good. However, I am pretty sure the plot is identical to one in NCIS a few years ago!

I enjoyed the first two episodes of Hostages, a good story line which kept me sufficiently interested to want to see more. The sub titles were a bit of a issue, but I got accustomed to them eventually.

No, I've not watched that, although I have wondered about it. If it does the rounds again I shall certainly watch.

I've just finished watching series 4 of Game of Thrones; try to watch 2 episodes a night but ended up watching 5 today...keep having to see what's going to happen next. Am I the only person on gransnet that's addicted to it? I've been on the edge of my seat watching today [ and shed lots of tears as well].

Saturday TV is truly dreadful! Wallander was excellent, but like all good things etc! We usually turn to the Discovery or Geographic/History channel. Sub titles are no problem, so may be we'll give Hostage a whirl on catchup, and see how it goes.

I think we would get one if our broadband connection was better.

I bought a roku 1 streaming box from Tesco on my holidays. Saturday night TV is awful, so I am catching up on the things I missed since losing my recording ability when the sky box died. At the moment I have on a comedy film via Netflix.

BBC 4 for me, the programme about the Sumatran tigers was excellent.
I am lucky in having a lot of high quality programmes from French, Dutch, Belgian and many other Countries here on cable which is the norm.
I must say French and Dutch TV is excellent, compared with the often sad offerings from the EBC.

I had never thought of using those - but I do have night vision glasses for driving, after years of wearing sunglasses.

I need sunglasses to watch programmes with sub-titles or instant migraine!

Not even with glasses on? Are you long or short-sighted? I am long sighted and have problems with shiny reflective surfaces, but I can read subtitles.

"In Hebrew with subtitles."
Subtitles are a no no here.
I can't see to read them.

BBC4 on a Saturday evening has been my staple for a few years now. Admittedly I have usually recorded them, rather than watched them at the time, but the programmes have always been excellent.

I also intend to give BBC4 a go tomorrow evening because otherwise for me there is zilch. I missed Spiral which I believe was excellent.

I loved the first series of Homeland but missed the next. There are many programme repeats but never the ones that I want.

Thank goodness for BBC4 on a Saturday evening! We've enjoyed most of the offerings at 9pm - and this latest one does look as if it'll be good.
We've been watching Homeland on Netflix, caz, as we hadn't followed it earlier. We're hooked now!
