I found Lara’s thread very useful and it was very popular so, as Lara hasn’t started a new thread I have.

Any suggestions on what to watch tonight gransnetters?

Thank you for that annep. Just what I needed today. I have a book about Elvis. Underneath one phot of him, the caption reads 'Elvis, looking more handsome than ten movie stars.' How true.

I know its off topic but I love this Bluebelle. He is so handsome.

I watched two episodes of Ratched, the new Netflix series which is a prequel to One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest which is one of my favourite films. So I had high hopes which sadly were not met. The cast is good so I will stick with it, the story line is very over the top, perhaps that is the intention but it’s not what I enjoy watching. The setting is 1940s Northern California, the scenery is stunning, the clothes and cars are amazing which makes me want to carry on watching.

Have just finished binge watching “Why Women Kill”, a black comedy/drama, not a documentary. It was set in one Americans house in three different eras. 1963, 1984 and 2019. Three different married couples and their stories. Really unusual and very enthralling. Highly recommended. It was on the the Alibi channel.

Oh, just been watching the Mortimer and Whitehouse fishing program. It is so lovely. Perfect for people "of a certain age", and its really got very little to do with fishing!

Grand Designs- restoring a Victorian lifeboat station - then Us.

We're watching The Ghan on BBC4.
Some may find it boring but that was on our bucket list for this year. We'll have to make do with the TV version.
Love the Australian outback.

Mystery Road, a NZ cop series, on BBC4 started last night. The main actress from The Bridge (Saga?) is an archaeologist in it.

Football on BBC1 then Us.

Calendargirl Sun 20-Sept-20 11:05:48

Despite many ?from most GN’ers, I shall probably watch the second episode of The Singapore Grip, hoping it will be worth following.
Will probably watch ‘Us’ on catch up.

Haven't been watching much tv we've been away in Devon. I'll catch up with the David Tennant drama "Des" only saw the first one and it was very well acted by the three main leads. I will definitely watch the new Tom Hollander drama on BBC 1 at 9 pm, I think it's called "Us" it looks good from the trailers, plus I really like him as an actor.

This evening I'll be watching Mama Mia Here We Go Again for a bit of escapist fun which is on ITV2. It won't get my full attention as I'll be catching up with the newspaper at the same time.

I binge watched it yesterday and from the beginning was hooked. Only have a couple of episodes to watch now. It is supposed to be based on the nurse from One flew over the Cuckoo Nest. It is all based in a physciatric hospital and tells the story of the many lives who are all intertwined. I loved it. It has a real 50's vibe with the decor , the clothes and the cars used. Try it you may be surprised. smile

I watched The Duchess on Netflix. All about the life of a single mother, her daughter, ex husband and her boyfriend. She is wacky and her life is chaos, her daughter a little priggish at times and her ex husband is a rebel without a cause. Good fun and different.

I enjoyed Last Night of the Proms.

Yes, it was very different, but how wonderful to hear and see some live music.

It was very poignant and the beautiful violinist, Nicola Benedetti, was just a dream to listen to. The Lark Ascending. Such a beautiful piece.

Lark Ascending - glorious.

Didn’t you find it weird, though, Marmight with no audience and a much reduced and distanced orchestra? Apart from that, yes very enjoyable.

Namsnanny Sat 12-Sept-20 21:25:05

Kominsky Method on Netflix, with Michael Douglas and Alan arkin.

Brilliant!
