What are you watching tonight?

Never make a point of watching it but if I’m channel hopping and first date comes on I have to watch it to the end and then probably watch the beginning on catchup which I’m about to do now.

Maigret mes enfants.

It's good but I think I prefer the originals with Rupert Davies. Perhaps I can't get Mr Bean or Blackadder out of my mind!
His wife is excellent, played by Lucy Cohu.

Last night we watched Jeffrey Epstein - Filthy Rich on Netflix.

It is haunting me today, I simply cannot get it out of my mind and my other half has been similarly affected. The number of girls involved is nigh unbelievable. The unwillingness of the authorities to prosecute despite enough evidence, preposterous.

Let us hope the Maxwell woman gives evidence against all the men involved and they end up rotting in jail with her.

I will watch Gardeners World, followed by the program aabout the North Yorkshire Moors. Watched this afternoon a history program on catch up about the History of Slavery, it made feel ashamed to be British, the terrible things the plantation oners did to some of he slaves.

Esspee I watched it a few weeks ago and it greatly disturbed me too. I was just waiting for the Maxwell woman to be arrested. Disgusting the lot of them.

We watched A Greek Odyssey with Bettany Hughes.

I watched a programme about the making of a Morgan sports car. This appealed to me because they are made in Worcestershire where I was brought up and also because when I was about 18 I went out for a while with a boy who had a Morgan. I had no idea it was such an expensive car at the time, to me it was just a car that messed up my hair. I have just started watching Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri on Channel 4, my granddaughter tells me it is very good.

I watched "Hope Springs" starring Meryl Streep on Amazon Prime. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can recommend it for easy watching.

I watched Thelma and Louise from a few days ago.I laughed out loud at a few of the scenes especially at the tanker exploding. Can't understand why I didn't watch it when it was first shown. Tonight I may watch Cranford which I'm recording at the moment. Will save Downton abbey until Thursday.

I recorded and watched Cranford. More next Sunday.

Tonight I shall watch my recording of the third episode of Jimmy's Forest, which I am enjoying very much. I remember seeing him (Jimmy Doherty) on TV for the first time when he set up his pig farm with hardly any knowledge or experience. He is an enterprising lad who has made a very successful business out of it. He went to school with Jamie Oliver.

I watched most of The Merchant of Venice, but I am so, so tired of all the clever business the directors inflict on their actors; too much capering about the stage and gabbling of lines, instead of simply speaking them clearly, and acting. The older actors outstrip the younger ones every time. And the irritating special effects; a reflective backdrop and a very distracting silver ball, pendulum, which swung across the stage to suggest the passage of time, I think.

I watched 3 Billboards in Epping, Missouri last night. It’s a film on Ch 4 catchup. I loved it.

One of the best films I’ve seen in recent years. Terrific acting.

Yes I totally agree. Very moving and funny too. As you say, the acting’s amazing.

Thanks for the Billboards recommendation. I started watching it last night. I think Frances Dormand won an Oscar for it, didn't she? It's good to see an actress with a face untouched by plastic surgery.

This is a good thread I would miss a lot of good stuff if I didn’t come on here. I rarely watch much television this time of year, but if there is something good I like to see it.

If you want to watch a really good documentary there is a new starting on Netflix tonight called Fear City. It's meant to be fantastic - can't wait to settle down with a G & T to watch it.

I've recently got hooked on this series on BBC i player.

It's on every morning at 11.45.

I recorded, or thought I had, Three Billboards film.

When we went to play it back, all we got was the intro, then a black screen.

The Humax recorder has been playing up, so we have ordered a new one. Sorry to miss it, but hope we can get it on catch up.

She did, deservedly, did win an Oscar. She’s married to one of the Coen brothers

Three Billboards is a great film.

I watched Gone Girl tonight. Very dark

I watched the second “Bears about the house” documentary about rescuing sun bears (and moon bears, I’d never heard of them before) in Laos. Marvellous programmes.

Incidentally I noticed Judy Murray is now on celebrity master chef, let’s hope she cooks better than she dances.....

Lucca. She doesn’t!

We watched the second part of Bears about the House too.
