What are you watching tonight?

Anyone know what’s happened to Casualty and Holby this week

I was uplifted by Ant and Dec last night. Great fun but brought the message home.

I watched first 2 episodes of The English Game on Netflix it’s about how football started in this country in the 1900s, sounds totally boring but so interesting, a struggle between the bosses/toffs and the mill workers. I can’t wait to watch more when I get time ? that’ll be later today. ?

Should be June 1964 not 1965.

We watched The Ready Steady Go programme on BBC iPlayer yesterday evening. Great memories for us too as we met in June 1965 and married in February 1965. The performance by Otis Redding, Eric Burdon and Chris Farlowe was brilliant - three of our favourite singers and as for Jerry Lee Lewis: amazing! It was lovely to see some of those no longer with us: Dusty Springfield, Gene Pitney, Keith Moon and John Entwhistle of The Who, Cilla Black, John Walker of The Walker Brothers. The miming contest clips were very funny too. We will be watching it again, the Friday night music programmes on BBC4 are so good.

Michael Portillo in Canada
Then Belgravia on catch-up

No, I didn't see it Eloethan
I do remember seeing Manfred Mann walking in Trafalgar Square in the early 1960s and being rather disappointed, he was thin and pale.
I was in love with Paul Jones anyway!

Last night (Friday) I watched a documentary on BBC 4 about the 1960's programme "Ready Steady Go". It brought back so many happy memories of my early teenage years in Romford when I - and most of my friends, - sat at home eagerly anticipating the "5 4 3 2 1" opening music, overlaid by a voice ramping up the excitement with the claim "The weekend starts here". My weekend started with a trip down Romford market to collect cabbage leaves for my pet rabbits, followed by a visit to the library - so hardly living the high life.

I expect many teenagers these days would think it a bit sad to be so excited about watching a TV programme but hearing the opening "Five Four Three Two One" music really did make me feel like I too was part of the on-screen in crowd.

Whilst I loved Ready Steady Go, watching the documentary also made me feel quite sad for the simple but happy times I had back then.

Did anyone else watch it and did it evoke similar feelings?

I love the sewing Bee too I’ve been watching loads of tv for months now it keeps my sanity while I’m recovering from this nightmare.

Finishing "The Sinner" (series two) which we recorded from BBC4. (Gripping stuff, as was series one.) Then not TV as such, but we're probably starting a box set of "Mildred Pierce" which DH picked up in a charity shop.

dadima I loved the first few series of the real Marigold hotel I’m glad to hear there’s going to be another one.

I tend to record a lot of films and documentaries so we can usually find something to watch.

Watched the first episode of "Unbelievable" on Netflix last night, very good, will continue with that. Husband's recorded "Vera" yawn! I like the books and I like Brenda Blethyn but the dramatisation doesn't always do it for me.

Ant and Dec and master chef I’m pleased I record my favourites and I do love Blue Bloods with Tom Selik

A programme about eagles. I've learned about rock hydrax in Oman and Robohare in Scotland.

I am watching the Sixties music night on BBC4. Ready Steady Go and all that!

Atm I am watching REM on sky arts singing 'It's the end of the world as we know it' Satirical.

Totp 1989 with Anthea Turner in denim shorts!

Love the Sewing Bee and glad Monty is back.

I am also pleased that Monty is back. I was also delighted to see that The Great British Sewing Bee is to return in April.

Thank goodness Gardeners World is back. Monty's calming voice is just what we need. It's going to be a funny old year though. I suppose garden centres will have to rely on a delivery service and visits to famous gardens abandoned by the public.

At least those featured on GW will have been filmed last year.

And no Chelsea

CanadianGran Great Pottery Throwdown - delightful show.

Sewing Bee, another lovely programme will be back soon. The Beeb have started to trail it, but not date yet (that I've seen)

Tonight is Great British Menu - this year the theme is childrens' books and some wonderful concoctions this week.
First regional final tonight. Plus Vera.

Gardner’s World of course like you beechnut

Gardeners World starts tonight. I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks.

Series 1 of Law and Order Criminal Intent. I think there about 12 series.

I don't know! The changes to schedules have really thrown me. My soaps should be in the right place at the right time. They are markers of my TV week. I suppose I'll get used to it but...
