A star wars filum with a bleak ending. I really enjoyed it.

Technically gorgeous and suitably gritty, but got bogged down with terrible character development and fan service.

You don't care one jot when the final scene plays out because we don't really know anything about them. Was fine but could've been spectacular.

The part with Bob's U25s lemonade challenge was the funniest thing I've seen in years

Mortimer is in pretty poor health apparently.

I enjoyed it, I thought the cinematography was good, the stunts were fun, the story was well-constructed with a fair deal of pathos at the end.

It may not have been the best of Craig's outings, but I thought it brought his tenure to a satisfying end.


On The Old Man, we're enjoying it, but you know it's going to go on, I just hope it doesn't turn out like 24, which went from an account of one day to about six weeks.

I just started on the old man, looked promising, but he’s just moved in to a cosy bed sit with a lady and is now out on a date with her. So not going in the constant on-the-run action flick I was hoping for. Should I continue with it?


So not exactly the

No awards for acting or scriptwriting, but good fun to watch especially the gun fights.

Couldn't get past the first couple of episodes, just way too slick and stylised for my liking. Much preferred Top Boy - wish they'd make a new series.

Sounds good.

I binged series 1 of The Bear recently and really enjoyed it.

Gave White Lotus a shot. It's pretty good, but there's not really anyone to root for as almost all the main characters are awful one way or another. I've no idea why Jennifer Coolidge's character got to feature in both seasons, easily the worst part of both.

I've watched Slow Horses from S1 E1 up to where we are now almost on consecutive nights. It's right up my street, and Gary Oldman chews up the scenery every time he's on camera, in a good way.

I thought Lowden reminded me of someone, I think you got that right, there.

edit, also, Kristin Scott Thomas is good as she always is

S2 has been confirmed with the plan to do 4. I've seen a few people complain about some of the portrayals of the men and the language used. I loved it.


Another fan of Slow Horses. I like the weekly drop too, saves us binging it .

We watched the first episode of the SAS thing, but my wife thought it was far too Boy's Own, so I'll have to go ahead on my own with it.

Didn't one of the founders or early recruits play rugby for Ireland and the Lions?

I’ve read all the SloHo books, disappointed it’s not on proper telly. Does KST play Lamb’s sidekick Catherine?
