What are you watching tonight?

Well, apparently at 10pm on Channel 4 tonight, there’s a programme devoted entirely to men's ‘bits’ (in the upright position no less) . I’m usually nodding off by 10, but perhaps this may make me sit up and take notice. Whatever next. Is nothing sacred?

I haven’t watched Strike. I shared a room at school with his (Tom Burke‘s) Mum and Aunt for a year so perhaps I should give it a go. I liked him in The Musketeers.

Already a thread devoted to the ‘men’s bits’!

Would rather have shared a room with Tom Burke himself!

Is there? Ooh must find it. I only look at a few threads...too busy in the garden to trawl through them all!

'Mama Mia' was a load of tripe so we turned it off after about ten minutes.

Looking forward to the new 'All Creatures Great and Small' tonight on Channel 5. I think Sam West will do a good job as Siegfried Farnon and I loved Callum Woodhouse in 'The Durrells' so I think he'll make a great Tristan.

I've recorded it Merlotgran. I loved the books. Not so keen on Christopher Timothy but Robert Hardy was great as Siegfried. I'm looking forward to the new series.

We enjoyed it, Jane10. Sam West has a hard act to follow but he's doing a good job.

Have to admit I was a bit disappointed with All Creatures. I wondered if the writer had read the same books as me, Mrs Hall is suddenly 21st century psychoanalyst instead ofmiddle aged 1930s housekeeper. I'll stick with it for a while because the cast is good.

Enjoyed All Creatures. Nice relaxing Sunday-night viewing on a Tuesday.

I enjoyed it too, but yes, it’s definitely Sunday evening viewing! I think we’ll record it in future to skip the adverts. Maybe watch it on Sunday evenings.

I agree about Mrs. Hall. I don't remember her being such an important character.

I enjoyed All Creatures but Mrs Hall seemed very young, although I quite liked the character.
It's a good idea to record it, we'll do that.

I was based in Yorkshire last night!!! watched the Yorkshire Vet then All Creatures Great and Small. Loved both programs. Looking forward to Thursday on Ch 5 as they are showing a new program about an Elephant Hospital which looks right up my street. Ch5 seem to be coming up with some lovely programs lately including of course the series Our Yorkshire Farm which has now finished but was very much enjoyed.

Channel 5 seems to vary between very good and absolutely dire. When they are good they are very good!

I loved Our Yorkshire Farm. I hope there will be another series before too long.

I watched The Harlots last night series 2. I really enjoy this bawdy look at life, it has some really good actresses, especailly Lesley Maniville. She plays her role perfectly with lots of great facial expressions and gestures with her hands.

Well I loved 'All creatures great and small' or as the two Ronnies called it 'All creatures grunt and smell'!
I also really enjoyed 'Harlots'. Lesley Manville must love this great change of role for her.

Came across a series called Urban Secrets on Sky ,its Alan Cummings visiting cities and finding unusual or special things about them.Sadly I found it on episode 7 Dublin and watched that one and episode 8 Glasgow ,both were lovely wee quirky informative programmes.I've downloaded the rest to watch later .Well worth a look and quite funny too. It a few years old so some of the things are a wee bit different ,the Panopticon in Glasgow is much further on the road to refurbishment for example .Still a good easy watch .

Caught up with Strike and also watched Sue Perkins programme last night about the border cities either side of the dividing wall between Mexico and the US. I was interested having spent some time in San Diego and whilst there we did drive the few miles down to the border with the intention of doing the crossing to Tijuana, but the queues were too long, I think it's one of the busiest border crossings in the world. That was back in the nineties, apparently around the time the wall started under the Clinton administration, but beefed up with Trump as we know. Some heart breaking stories first from the migration perspective but also families that had become separated, one family featured had been like this for 30 or so years, reminiscent of the Berlin Wall. They could have a very limited meet up either side of the divide, where they go to this certain point and touch fingers through a miniscule space, but that was it, very sad. Interestingly lots of pensionable age Americans go over to Mexico to live, a better and cheaper lifestyle. One town in particular, on the Mexican side is where Americans go over for their dental work, where I think it was quoted, they pay a third of what they would pay back over their side.

I shall watch Miss Marple on Drama, which will fill most of the evening.

Have seen it so many times I feel like one of the cast......

All Creatures Great and Small, of course.

Can't wait!

It was good, too!

Love Montalbano old and young.
Tonight we watched three episodes of Modern Family. Needed a laugh after a "friend" rang to tell me all the new cases of coronavirus in my area. If I really wanted to know I would watch the news.

I’ve got a “friend” like that, too, annep1. Depressing isn’t it.
I’m currently enjoying a Montalbano fest on iPlayer (the older character).

Tonight I'll watch the usual Gardener's World, then Millionaire on ITV plus 1 as it half clashes - or maybe I'll miss the second part as I believe Monty will be going on about compost. I've been told it's very difficult to produce this well in a tiny garden so it'll be of little no benefit.

I feel a little aggrieved that we know in advance that there'll be a top prize winner on the latter as it's spoiled the anticipation. Plus, of course a little cross that it's not me. Anyone else feel the same way?

I feel the same. What's the point in watching? There won't be any nail biting anticipation.

Although I will be interested to see if I know the answers Merlot as then I can imagine myself with the million, ha ha.
