Now I'll have to watch it. Not sure this character is going to boost my self esteem, but I'll take a look.

Pity Lee Mack is such a lousy actor.

It just goes to show, find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time and your life can be turned on its head.

That's what happened to me after I watched the 1958 Cup Final.

You massive bellend. I wasted an hour of my life watching this last night on your recommendation.

Absolutely nothing of note happened, unless you count Scully cleaning her bathroom.

What about the end of episode one, set it up nicely.  Stick with it.

Watched the Fall when it was on BBC2 a few years ago and it is excellent. As for Gillian Anderson what a woman!

Watching a great series on Flixnet.

At night she's a music hall artiste, by day she a prosecutor in New York.

Tara Raboom DA. Great stuff.

You can blame Denis Norden for that.

Just started "Before We Die". Only watched the first episode but it started as a v. promising Swedish cops/biker gangs detective thriller but teasingly drags us back to the war in Bosnia. Looking forward to seeing more. Intriguing.

Anyone been watching Manctopia on BBC2? Very interesting series on all the redevelopment in the City Centre and the knock on effects for the place i call home now.

House prices even were i live in Burnage have been steadily rising and Levenshulme, which i'm right on the border of, is now a hipsters paradise and being seen as a great place to live. Not sure too many would have said that 13 years ago when i moved here!

I have just been saddened by the news that Diana Rigg has died

Yes, I used to have a huge crush on her. Very sad news.

I once stood next to her at the bar of The Black Swan (Dirty Duck) at Stratford on Avon, having watched her on the stage of the RSC just previously that evening. As attractive in the flesh as on stage or screen. Didn't have the nerve to chat to her.....

Yes, I've watched all four programmes, really interesting.

Although  it's fascinating to see these skyscraper blocks of flats being built, I can't imagine being very happy if I lived in one.  I  could relate more to the residents who were settled in the areas that would probably be cleared in a few years time.

It was terrible to see how the council was not keeping the old areas clean and tidy.

Great story. I am jealous of that.

I fancy her in her days of the Avengers. She was very beautiful. She is a great personality too.

Her daughter is so like her. And very good in Tipping The Velvet.

Watching Cobra Kai on Netflix and really enjoying it! Yes it's a bit cheesy but it's good cheese 

I expected you to say you'd just watched Karate Kid, you're always behind.

She does look like her. I always liked Diana Rigg.
