dex Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Peaky Blinders is okay, I enjoyed the 2nd episode more than the first. I'm watching By Any Means now Keith Allen is playing a villain again. 1/6 It's a police unit doing Hustle to catch criminals. It was okay. Edited September 22, 2013 by dex
peterjmerrigan Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I'm actually currently watching Series 1, Episode 3 of... The Littlest Hobo Love it lol. Just borrowed the first 2 series from a friend. Anyone remember it?
gardengirl Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I do remember the name The Littlest Hobo, but didn't watch it so can't say what it was about, was it made for children?
peterjmerrigan Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I'm not actually sure if it was made for children or not, maybe "family viewing" would be more appropriate. It ran late 70s / early 80s and was about a homeless/ownerless dog who seemed to drift around from one town to the next, helping those in need. Perfect viewing for dog lovers
chaliepud Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 "Every step I take, I make a new friend, can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again. Maybe tomorrow I'm gonna settle down, until tomorrow I'll just keep moving on..." Loved, loved, loved that show!

Athena Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 That show sounds really nice, I've never seen it to be honest (it might not ever have been shown here). I've been watching some episodes of the first season of Death in Paradise. I saw this on TV a while ago and really liked it so I bought the DVD (and recently I discovered that there was a season two and so bought the DVD of it). I'm now rewatching the episodes of season one and after that plan on watching the second two episodes. I hadn't actually seen the very first episode yet, so it was great to see it. I don't know if this series is well known or not (maybe in the UK? Since it's made by the BBC), but I like it. It's a detective series of a British detective and his team on Saint-Marie. I love how the actors of the show are of a variety of races and skin colours. I love how the murders are cleverly (in my view) set up and work out.

Perfect viewing for dog lovers Ah, yes, I do remember it now, I think my children may have watched it. What a lovely idea, a dog drifter who helps people, if only eh?

Yes Athena, this is very popular here too, I like it very much.
Chrissy Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Breakfast News with my husband. He keeps shouting at the television in disgust, so I am enjoying this enormously! Edited September 26, 2013 by Chrissy
ian Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Peaky Blinders is okay, I enjoyed the 2nd episode more than the first. I'm watching By Any Means now Keith Allen is playing a villain again. 1/6 It's a police unit doing Hustle to catch criminals. It was okay. I thought Peaky Blinders was great! I agree with you about By Any Means - it wanted to be Hustle, but couldn't seem to decide if it wanted to be funny or not. Very starnge, but I imagine I'll stick with it for now - if only to try spotting all the places in Birmingham they've filmed at!
gardengirl Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I am watching the first few programmes [which I recorded] of Orphan Black on BBC 3. Surprised myself that I like it, as my 'bugbear' with American tv is that nobody speaks as they would if terrible or bizarre things happen, but in this they do , and you can empathise with the characters, yet it's done with some humour too and a light touch. I shall keep on watching the rest of the series.
gardengirl Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Did anyone else enjoy watching 'The Returned' the French tv series?Subtitles don't worry me, and I thought it was excellent and can't wait for the next series.
chesilbeach Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Have a very old episode of The Crystal Maze on in the background - I still love this even with it's 80s hairstyles and tracksuits
Athena Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Did anyone else enjoy watching 'The Returned' the French tv series?Subtitles don't worry me, and I thought it was excellent and can't wait for the next series.x I haven't heard of this particular show I'm afraid, just wanted to add that I watch most things, where it's possible, with subtitles. It's so I know what they're going to say, before they say it, so I don't have to pay attention and process things every millisecond. It allows my brain to be in a more relaxed state. For me it's hard to understand why people would have problems with subtitles. Sure, if they're in a language you don't understand, that'd bother me as I'd keep trying to read it and understand, but if they're in a language you do understand (ie. English for English people), I don't see why it'd be a bother really, if someone else wants them to be on. Anyway, that's just me. I need subtitles to make things less tiring.
bobblybear Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Just watched The Wonder of Dogs...a documentary about, you guessed it...dogs! What was particularly interesting was the part about gun-dogs and their traits. I could see many of the traits in Reuben.
dex Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I've just watched Atlantis and Peaky Blinders Ep 1, 2 again.
gardengirl Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Just watched the first episode of Atlantis, it is what it is......... good, family entertainment for early Sat evening viewing.Having said that, I shall probably watch and enjoy the whole series, it's reasonably well acted and has some humour.
pontalba Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 We watched a few episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent last night. I guess next is Burn Notice, we have the season on Amazon instant video.....it's their last season. Phooey
geordie9 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 im watching Breaking Bad (again) and Weeds (again), love them!
