What are you watching tonight?

I've just watched the Judge Rinder programme too - very well done and very moving.
I was interested in the part about his maternal grandfather's psychiatric problems - as a student I worked in the Friern Hospital for a month, in the mid '50s. There were many Jewish patients, mostly traumatised by war or other persecution. Choice of treatments was very limited in those days. But the staff were mostly compassionate.

It was the “Goodbye Sir” that got me.

We're watching Burley Chassis at the BBC on BBC4. Seen it before but some great footage of bygone days.

Oh, that duet with Neil Diamond. Be still my beating heart!

Started watching this last night after Merlotgran’s post. Neil’s scarlet jumpsuit ensemble was eye catching, but I agree about the duet, might have to re-watch it.

Two great voices together, seemed very into each other.

?

What jumpsuit??? ????

The Bridge (Scandi crime on BBC4) episode every night on catch up.

I do increasingly like anything with subtitles - no straining to decipher the all too frequent mumbling in home-grown productions.

All Scandi crime seems to be universally grey and dismal, but if you can get past that the stories are usually good.

What jumpsuit??? ????

Well, it looked like a sort of sequinned scarlet jumpsuit to me! I know my eyes need testing, but....
Will definitely have to watch it again!!!

(Perhaps not sequins, but sort of a lurex material, and a diamond necklace)

Couldn’t miss it, made Shirley look drab by comparison!

I adore Morse. The Remorseful Day was on a channel this week and I watched it again - hoping that he didn’t die this time! ☹️ “Thank Lewis for me”

I’m not finding a lot I want to watch at the moment, only one or two things. That has resulted in me watching quite a few of the Married at First Sight: Australia. It’s complete rubbish really, but I like it!

Aah Yes! The jump suit did rather play a part.

Very sexy song though and without the vocal acrobatics you would no doubt get today.

We are working our way through all the series of Line of Duty (available on BBC iplayer). They all looked so much younger in the first episodes. We really enjoyed seeing Keeley Hawes as Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton (series 2 & 3).

I've heard the new series is being broadcast soon - anyone know the exact date?

Also like A Suitable Boy and Mrs America
I've recorded Harlots - has anyone watched that?

Last two of Mrs America tonight.

Thank you to whoever recommended Film4 'Finding your feet'. Brilliant.

Finished watching 'One Day' last night. Good film. Read the book ages ago and loved it.

Love Line of Duty. Watched the originals and rewatched them all again a month ago. They're about to record the next series. Yippee. Some memorable quotes.

I enjoyed 'Harlots' once I got over the shock of it all. The second series is starting next week. I've set the recorder!
Also the lovely 'Gone Fishing' prog with Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse. Thoroughly enjoyable somehow. Just two old friends chatting and fishing.

I’ve just been watching a programme about the Bruderhof Community in East Sussex. Not sure what I think or feel about them but interesting viewing

I watched that too Marmight. I was very struck by how old and worn the women looked.

They all looked so similar. Jane10. Careworn with little apparent joy in their lives. Also many Americans. I felt a bit uncomfortable about it all. They own no ‘devices’ but strangely they have a website.
Anyway now cheering myself up with the Proms. Although It’s very odd without an audience.

The first night of the proms....so strange seeing them perform
In an empty Albert Hall.

It’s just finished...still wonderful though.?

It certainly was strange. I like the way they all clapped themselves at the end. it did need applause.

Yes it was wonderful. Very relaxing.

Gardener's World now.

I watched the first two episodes of the documentary Once upon a time in Iraq. What a gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, anger-inducing insight into the invasion of Iraq and its aftermath. I consider it a crime and yet nobody has been held responsible for the social and material destruction of a whole country, leaving its people far worse off now, in almost every respect, than before they were "liberated".

Eloethan I watched this series at the beginning of the month on catch up, i agree it is a real eye opener. More people should take a look.

I've just watched the first two episodes of A Suitable Boy again. So much easier to understand the second time round.

Still needed the family tree though.

I shall be watching a recording of 'Our Yorkshire Farm'. What a refreshing change to see the Owen family tackling the numerous jobs there are to do on their farm. Everyone pitches in, even the pre-schoolers. All 11 of them have a real love of family and I have yet to see any of the children with a mobile phone glued to their hand.

I have been watching the police dogs on some obscure channel, I enjoyed it, will watch again

The Prom last night was wonderful. The Eroica is my favourite symphony and I'd watch it all over again. Tonight I think I'll continue binge-watching New Amsterdam on Prime.
