What are you watching tonight?

Jane Eyre at 1.50 this afternoon ( film ) then BBC 1 all the way.

Rudyard Kipling’s Mandalay was removed from commemorations of the 75th anniversary of VJ Day after the opera singer Sir Willard White, who was born in Jamaica, complained of its “cultural superiority”.

I understand that but why did the musical version of Mandalay have to be replaced by 'You'll Never Walk Alone' which is from an American musical and has now been adopted as a football anthem?

Having only caught The Bridge half way through, we watched the first 2 episodes last night. The next 2 possibly this evening. I just love Saga Noren .

As before on BBCiplayer I like wildlife and nature programmes .
I'm going to watch one of their wonderful Wildlife in Thailand series.

Eldest son and family have just moved from after 15 years in Kuwait to Thailand . Much lower salaries. We're trying to puzzling it out. But TG they're keeping the family together .
It's hard to keep up with the world these days.

I found The Bridge absolutely fantastic first time round. I might watch it again. Like you BBbevan I really love Saga!

I’m watching The Yorkshire Vet. It’s all a bit gory - lots of bodily fluids flowing

Very sad tonight, Midsomer Murders! ?

We tried GrandmasueUK’s recommendation and started Good Girls on Netflix tonight. Like Breaking Bad and very entertaining. Thanks for the suggestion.

We watched Our Yorkshire Farm. Wouldn't miss it.

No matter what life throws at them they are always the close, loving, hard working family that makes this such a heartwarming programme to watch.

I've been watching The Bridge. It is a very convoluted and unrealistic plot but I am quite enjoying it.

I hope it doesn't turn out as disappointing as The Last Wave. I don't know why I wasted my time watching it when each episode was more ridiculous than the previous one.

I wish Spiral would return - in my opinion, it's miles ahead of any of the other police procedural/detective series - great acting and believable plots - what a novelty!

We got to the end of Episode 10 of the bridge last night. We are quite worn out..

Is that the end of the series BBevan? Was it worth the journey? I'm up to 7 now.

esspee so glad you are enjoying Good Girls. Just started watching ‘We’re Here’ feel good Drag Queen show about tolerance and acceptance. Daughter and I both creied at the stories.

The Democratic National Convention, day 3, it wraps up tomorrow night-

Eleothan Yes the journey was worth it. We looked for the next series but nothing as yet. I have a GD who is very like Saga in her reaction to things.
We are also watching the Swedish 'Thicker than water'. A bit like a Swedish Eastenders !!

Lovely film on tonight. Quartet. Must have seen it about four times !

Yes: it is a lovely film.

Am watching Toast Of London ( comedy about a middle aged actor) surreal and funny, have downloaded them all ( about 5)to watch.

Danger Close ,an Australian film about Vietnam.Very good,realistic but not too gory made in 2019

Joanna Lumley watching the Northern Lights.
I'd love to see them.

I love Toast of London lemon, especially Clem Fandango!

Callistemon I was initially very much underwhelmed when I saw the Northern Lights. For some reason my expectation was of rainbow like colours in sheets, so something pretty.

The reality is shades of grey. When you photograph the phenomenon it photographs green but that is most certainly not what you see.

After two nights of feeling cheated we finally saw an awesome display where the lights formed a curtain then, rather like some Christmas displays in one corner they started twinkling and the light rippled downwards like a fall of snow. The effect moved along the curtain then they swirled. All in shades of grey. Of the four nights we spent in the latitudes where the phenomenon can be observed that was the only time I was awestruck though we did see the lights every night.

Not an experience for the bucket list in my opinion.

Oh, thanks Esspee. That is my expectation too.
I'll cross them off my bucket list. Our friends went specifically to see them (twice) and missed them both times.

we get the Aurora over Loch Lomond quite regularly ,they look green to me sometimes theres a pink/purple tone comes through .Its lovely over the water and the Maid of the Loch

Callistemon,you'll find some shots on Youtube of Aurora.just put Aurora over loch lomond in the search bar
