What are you watching tonight?

I was so pleased to see a new series of The Yorkshire Vet started tonight. I love this feel good programme.

The Bridge is being repeated from the beginning on BBC4 starting on Saturday. I've set the recorder. Even better than Line of Duty IMHO.

I watched this a few years ago when it was first aired and loved it. Martin Bodnia was very good in it and I was pleased to see him recently in Killing Eve.

PGA golf, recording last episode of There she goes.

I've been watching the Channel 5 thing, "Deception" although keep drifting off in it, it's not that good though! Will probably watch the last one tonight.

Trawling through Amazon Prime trying to find something half worth while to watch, came across an amazingly good foreign language film "Capernaum" set in the slums of Beirut, a city very much in the news for unfortunate reasons this week. It is the story of a young boy brought before the court for stabbing an adult. He tells the judge he wants to sue his parents for being born and for the chaotic life he has lead. The narrative then unfolds in retrospect as to how he has reached such a state. One of the best films I've seen of late, the young child playing the lead role is superb and when I Googled him he is a Syrian refugee who had been living in Lebanon, but he and his family are now settled in Norway. The title of the film means chaos in Arabic. I'd recommend it, don't be put off by the sub titles.

Michael Portillo's railway journeys
Jabberwok I enjoyed last night's armchair journey from Orléans to Reims. Berlin next week.

Tried Harlots last night but didn't enjoy it.
Will give Semi Detached and Squeamish About a go tonight, both comedies on BBC2. The second one is a surreal Matt Berry spoof documentary that I haven't seen advertised.

Re runs of Inspector Morse, Kavanagh, George Gently. Michael Portillo's railway journeys, very old Van der Vaulk, loved the old ones can't stand the modern one, just old repeats really! Very little from the beeb, as very little from them interests either of us, news from Sky once a day, it's enough!! and anything of interest that freeview has to offer!

@Esspee If you enjoyed Breaking Bad then I think you will enjoy Good Girls. It's on Netflix though. It is both very funny, and also dramatic. My daughter and I binged watched the last series in three nights (might have been one night if she hadn't had work the next days ).

We are watching the new Perry Mason series at the moment. I would recommend. Matthew Rhys is very good.
I'm also watching The Big C on Amazon prime. Stars Laura Linney, very funny, little bit dark. Just my cup of tea.

They are showing a repeat of Anne - The Princess Royal at 70 this evening. I am mentioning it for the benefit of those who missed it but don't have a catch up facility.

I stumbled into a 4 part Drama series on C4 entitled The Virtues. Ive had to fast forward a couple of bits due to how awful they are but this is one of the best TV Dramas Ive ever seen. The acting from Stephen Graham is outstanding. The man is up there with the best of them from all time.

He had a nomination for best actor in The Virtues in the recent BAFTAs. He lost out to Jared Harris in Chernobyl. He is a very good and versatile actor.

Holly City tonight I think. The new episodes are only going to be 40 mins long apparently.

I like New Amsterdam as well Tanith can't get Prime unfortunately.

I watched Line of Duty last night for the first time and really enjoyed it. Thanks to those who recommended it

Even though I've watched Line of Duty since the beginning I've started watching again and have understood more this time. Such a good programme...new series next year!

I watched The Deceived.

Hmm, not sure.

Far fetched.

Thought it odd that it was such a small funeral, she was a famous novelist, and the grieving widower then nipped off to discuss house repairs with the local builder instead of attending the wake.

And the mistress just rocked up and then stayed overnight the same night, he lent her his dead wife’s clothes, she wandered round the village in her pyjamas, she swiped keys and went in to locked rooms, went on to computers, no need of a password...

Did she sleep with the widower that night, with the dead wife’s mother in the house?

Hardly Du Maurier, more Danielle Steel?

I'm going to watch The Deceived on Channel 5 at 9pm.

I like a psychological thriller and according to the Radio Times preview, there are 'shades of Daphne du Maurier about it.'

I'm very much looking forward to Line of Duty (Monday) as I believe that it's the very first series which is getting a rerun. As I only started watching the last series it'll hopefully solve some mysteries.

It has to be A Suitable Boy on the BBC even though it's very late where I live and I'm now hours past my bedtime.

Its perfect. The BBC at its best. Just absolutely sumptious.

I watched ‘the Proms’ this evening on BBC4, a concert from the 2017 season by the Chineke! Orchestra. Magical. Absolutely sublime. Conducted by Kevin John Edusei. See it on iPlayer

We are still on Chesapeake Shores and starting to find it cheesy and predictable. It is a far cry from our usual dramas (mostly with subtitles).
I don’t like violence and gore (though loved Breaking Bad?) We enjoyed The Good Wife, The Good Fight, Scandi noir, Spiral, the first series of Heist, Designated Survivor etc.

Can anyone recommend other series’s?

I'm watching Dick and Angel Strawbridge on catch up. I loved Escape to the Chateau.

It's DGD's job, MiniMoon She works at Pinewood studios although there's not much going on at the moment so she's been doing a course in period wig making. Her lecturer made the wigs for Poldark and The Vikings.

It's amazing what they can do.

Espee we enjoyed Chesapeake Shores on Netflix too, lovely story of love, joy, angst with no swearing, vomiting, shouting, shooting, car chases, just plain good gentle tv.
We also enjoyed White Collar, different but fun.
Chateau was good tonight, we love Angel and Dick, they're so creative and happy.
Have recorded Mrs America, thanks for the recommendation Jennist.
