Recommended TV, Radio and Films.

If you did not see it the film ‘Changeling ‘ is excellent. Angelina Jolie - who I must admit I was never keen on - was very good. A true story about young lads who went missing in a particular part of - I think- Los Angeles - a local policemen eventually, after many years, managed to find out what happened to them.

I think this thread was a great idea too.

Thanks! I saw it on a plane journey and loved it. Want to see it again.

Jane - Florence Foster Jenkins; thoroughly enjoyed it., and thought-provoking

I don't have netflix but usually find something enjoyable. One film I'm keen to see when it finally hits TV is that one with Meryl Streep as the awful singer - senior moment, can't remember her name.
I agree about the Durrells. I wasn't keen to begin with but really look forward to it now.

I'm also revisiting Death in Paradise, season 1 with Ben Miller as I've forgotten what they were about.
The Tick on Amazon Prime is fun too!!

NanKate, this thread is a great idea. Thanks!

I started watching The Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix last night. It's a comedy with Drew Barrymore as a suburban housewife/real estate dealer who turns into zombie ? overnight. I've only watched the first episode, so I'll reserve judgement, but it started promisingly.
I like some pure escapism. DH watches all the factual stuff.

Ooh thanks for that Merlotgran. I have recorded Escape to the Chateau, but thought it might just contain outtakes from the other programme. I shall enjoy watching.

I've mentioned these programmes on other threads but I'll say it again. They are all brilliant entertainment.
'Grace + Frankie' on Netflix. Jane Fonda,Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen.
'Queer Eye' on Netflix. A group of 5 young men who will remind you their are lovely people in the world.
'This Country' on BBC iPlayer. Mockumentary about the Cotswolds done supremely well + v funny.
Hope you enjoy!!

Thanks for these suggestions. When I come back from a few days holiday in the beautiful Purbecks next week, I will sign up for Netflix. I am quite excited to get it as so many of you recommend series from there.

The rain keeps driving us indoors during the day so I was happy to settle down with a cuppa and watch the new Escape to the Chateau yesterday with Dick and Angel Strawbridge.

This time they're 'helping/advising' other Brits who fancy some castle type DIY

A bit more interesting than your average DIY programme.
