They should have called it Dear DI Ray and ended each episode with her updating her journal. 

Or doing an agony aunt column

:lol: :lol: 

 

Helpful :lol: 

 

For those that are a fan of cop shows, the main actress is superb, the producer wrote line of duty and the writer of this show, was in line of duty.

 

Good chance if you liked line of duty, you’ll like this.  :lol:

That thing about the Zodiac killer on Netflix is good. Not exactly one to cheer oneself up in the wake of this week like :lol: but worth it if you’re interested in the subject.

That’s it. I’ve only seen two (out of three).

Very good watch and pretty compelling circumstantial evidence. 
 

stopped by police, speeding away from murder scene with bloody knife on his passenger seat. 
 

“why have you got a bloodied knife”?

 

”Just killed a chicken in my car”

 

”No bother, off you go”

 

:lol:

Wolf Hall. The Mirror and The Light. 
 

On BBC tonight at 9pm. 


 

Mrs F and I on a very rare occasion of us both looking forward to something. 

Mark Rylance is a fucking amazing actor, and Damian Lewis isn’t too shabby either. 
 

 

At the rate that the cheeky glasses of wine are going down following our win, I might be watching it on iPlayer, but hey-ho :lol:

I've just started to watch the first one again to jog the memory before getting the new series fired up. :good:

Was just about to come on here to post about that. The first series was actually based on the first two books about Cromwell, not just Wolf Hall. So this will be the final series. The first one was fucking superb like. Rylance in particular. Honourable mention to the late Bernard Hill who was brilliant, not to mention hilarious, as the Duke of Norfolk

10pm this evening bbc2.

deliverance, duelling banjos, the most iconic scene in mackem movie production history.

Canoes, gorges, crazy locals, and furious action on banjo strings. 
 

Takes me back to my youth :lol:

Last episode of the penguin. Fucking hell, that was grim. Best origin story ever. Farell would get an Oscar for this were it a film. Instead he puts in 6 times the work and will probably only get a Emmy.  Such is life.

I was pretty convinced he was the killer anyway but I think part 3 finally put any doubts to bed.

Is that the one with the main lass as an Asian woman copper? 
 

Im not a fan of copper shows at the best of times, but if it’s the same one, it was fucking atrocious :lol:

 

Mrs. F. made me watch an episode - two blokes were accused of killing/kidnapping some Asian lass. 

Wasn’t them. 
 

Ray solved it through sheer determination and some terrible writing. 
 

At least I think that was what happened- it was hard to follow the story because of all the “ SHE’S AN ASIAN WOMAN COPPER!” bits that were shoehorned in every 30 seconds. 
 

8.7 my hairy arse. :lol:

DI Asian Copper walks into the interview room. The institutional racism fills the air and it’s hard to breathe.

 

The accused mutters something about curry because of racism. DI Asian Copper’s body language changes in reaction, her eye twitches, perhaps there is a flash back of when she was racially abused as a child at school.

 

She composes herself and batters the suspect with facts because DI Asian Copper may be many things, but she is NOT a stereotype who is defined by her ethnicity because this is a well written show that would NEVER pull that borderline intelligence insulting, offensive shit on our audiences.

 

Is that close?

Do I need to watch that Batman film before watching it? If so, I’m fucked because finding time to watch a 3 hour film these days is nigh on impossible

Naah, I didn't, it's standalone. Batman isn't even mentioned save a brief sort of cameo. Similar to the Joker film (first one). The Penguin is more a gangster series than anything to do with super heroes, albeit set in the dark fantastical city of Gotham. 

As for 3 hour films, I don't have the time any more, so I just do my own "serialisation", unless I'm lucky enough to get to the cinema.
