Seeing as we're all staying in a little lot more, we'd imagine the telly is getting a fair amount of attention. If you want to chat about whatever you're watching while it's on (or the next day) please do check our Telly forum topic and join in if there's already a conversation running. If not, why not start one? There's almost certainly someone else on here who's watching alongside you and would love the opportunity to dissect the plot/suggest whodunnit/debate actor's suitability to role/just want to say they love or hate it. grin

Not sure what happened to Casualty and Holby. confused.

I also saw the programme about eagles, followed by In Which We Serve. Followed by Only Fools on a loop.

Today it's Belgravia. I'm really excited that it's the 20th anniversary of Doctors next week; I've seen practically every episode. blush.

I feel I should watch Spooks now I've got some time on my hands (on leave, not self-isolating).

Holby, casualty and doctors announced earlier in the week that filming had ceased for the time being.

Might give the Good Karma Hospital a second chance,I wasn't sure about it though .Its all a bit colonial ,Brit doctors running hospital when the locals seem quite able to manage on their own but still have a master and servant mentality .However I like the actors so I'll watch tonight and see if it s any better.

Watched half of The Nest. Too tired to watch the rest. Will catch up. ?

Pittcity Sun 22-Mar-20 22:07:23

Quite liked the Nest but should've had subtitles on for some of it.

oldgimmer1 Sun 22-Mar-20 22:15:54

The Nest looks promising.

Watching Belgravia on +1.

BlueBelle Mon 23-Mar-20 06:19:16

‘Nest’ was quite good and does look as if it could be a good drama
pittcity i always have the subtitles on for all dramas and no
I m not deaf

I am watching Lewis on the ITV app.

If you don’t mind gruesome Cold Cases on Amazon Prime is fascinating. There are 3 series and there two highly trained females (one an ex prosecutor) who manage to bring to justice murderers, very satisfying but sad too.

NanKate Mon 23-Mar-20 06:58:14

It’s called Cold Justice not Cold Cases.

Pittcity Mon 23-Mar-20 07:51:52

Bluebelle the subtitles were for the strong Glaswegian accents!

suziewoozie Mon 23-Mar-20 08:07:44

Guineagirl Mon 23-Mar-20 08:15:10

This Country on I Player, I find it hilarious just seems to make me forget awful things, I don’t watch anything in the day but could watch episode after episode on an evening.

Sparklefizz Mon 23-Mar-20 18:41:08

I will be watching episode 5 of Spooks on iPlayer, followed by Boris's press conference at 8.30 and then hope to switch over to Liar if he has finished by 9pm.

LadyGracie Mon 23-Mar-20 20:35:37

We enjoyed The Nest, we always have subtitles on, so many programmes seem to mumble, I got fed up of DH keep asking what did he/she say, meaning I had to pause a programme, explain, rewind and watch again what, if anything I’d missed.

TerriBull Mon 23-Mar-20 21:07:30

Another catch up with an episode from series 2 of This Country, good to laugh, when it's funny, it's really funny.b An episode of Netflix Unbelievable. Watching Liar right now.

Eloethan Mon 23-Mar-20 23:51:39

I quite enjoyed The Nest but thought it was a bit slow, and fairly unbelievable. I thought the acting was good though.

There was a rather distressing true crime documentary on a few months ago about a couple who were accused and found guilty of killing their unofficial foster daughter. They lived in a house that looked very like the one in The Nest and, from my recollection, the view was similarly outstanding. It was very dilapidated though but perhaps it's the same house and has been done up.

oldgimmer1 Tue 24-Mar-20 10:27:43

That was Margaret (Fleming?) @eleothan. It was awful, but also compelling. And true!

Nest is set in Glasgow, isn't it? Lovely house. Could do with some curtains though. smile

Eloethan Tue 24-Mar-20 12:05:34

It was so sad wasn't it, - that nobody locally had appeared to miss her or wonder what happened to her. And rather neglectful I thought that the authorities never followed her up, given that she had learning difficulties.

oldgimmer1 Tue 24-Mar-20 12:53:59

Yes, very strange all round. Apparently Margaret's mother gave evidence at the trial but we didn't get to see that.

And no body either! Great that the prosecution managed to gather enough evidence to convince the Jury of the perpetrator"s guilt.

Personally I think she'd been dumped at sea, and that the fire was a red herring.

Poor Margaret.

Hannahcaitlin Tue 24-Mar-20 14:03:46

smile will watch master chef and Netflix Picard
