The Village

I don’t know the series, Lily65, but I was just curious about your post as I think television has never been so good! We only have Freeview, but still never have the time to watch all the things we fancy.

Oh gosh.....what goodies am I missing out on please?

Give it a go, if you like a good story.

I remember this, and enjoyed it. I was disappointed that it wasn’t recommissioned, as the intention was to continue until the year 2000

I missed the last few episodes unfortunately but I did think it was very good.

Where did you find it? I-player? Netflix?

Well, this'll be very boring for you, Lily, as we mustn't like the same things, but you did ask! These are the programmes I've either just finished watching/recorded in the hope of getting round to eventually/am following at the moment. And I think they're all worth a watch:

Fleabag, Have I Got News for You, Only Connect, University Challenge, Impossible, Call the Midwife, Line of Duty, The Bay, Trust Me, Baptiste, Mastermind, The Victim, Victoria, The Durrells, Cheat, Derry Girls, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, Gogglebox, Earth from Space, A House through Time, 24 Hours in Police Custody, Race across the World and the recent BBC series about the Yorkshire Ripper investigation.

New series coming up shortly, and which I'm looking forward to:

Peaky Blinders, Gentleman Jack, War of the Worlds, Catch 22, Poldark, Happy Valley, Killing Eve, Keeping Faith, Homeland, Liar.

The only thing I get to see that's not on terrestrial TV is Netflix's The Crown, which I'm trying to follow at DD2's when I'm looking after DGS4 and he has a nap! It's fascinating.

Our box is 74% full which means we should watch a few things and delete.
Much of the stuff we have recorded sounds like your recordings, Maggiemaybe.

Will we ever get to watch it all or will we be deleting it?

I thought this was the film ‘The Village’, but a series so not the same thing.
I would like to see the old series American Gothic again, wonder if it’s on Amazon to buy the box set, must have a look.

Oh, Callistemon, I think we’ll have to delete some of our recordings - there just aren’t enough hours in a day! I’ve just spotted the whole of the last series of Last Tango in Halifax sitting there - how long have we had that?

Ever since I was able to video things etc I've realised that, once recorded I feel that, somehow it's in my brain somewhere and I don't have to watch it. And I don't make a point of actually watching it when it's on as I can record it. I've even got boxes of VHS recordings that I still 'mean' to watch. It actually stresses me out that there is so much catchup watching I need to do.

There are programmes I wish I'd recorded and didn't and lots of recordings that I think 'Why'?

I seem to have rather a lot of children’s films too that I have recorded just in case the grandsons ever fancy sitting down quietly and watching one when they visit. Not a cat in hell’s chance really. Unless I delete them.....

I may delete ours (apart from Stick Man)
