Onion Budgie Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 One of my colleagues at work is watching Spaced for the first time (after me pestering him for years because I knew he'd love it) so we're rematching it ourselves so I can chat about it with him and know the details of each episode! Another convert I love Spaced! No-one else I know has heard of it, but it's one of my favourites. That and Black Books. So funny. Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 I love Spaced! No-one else I know has heard of it, but it's one of my favourites. That and Black Books. So funny. I know! We're up to episode 2 of series 2 - personally, I prefer the second series over the first, but all excellent. Such a shame there's only 14 episodes but I guess better to leave it at that so they're all brilliant rather than go on and it not be so good. You can see where all the inspiration for Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and World's End came from. Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Just watching the 1000th episode of Pointless Quote
pontalba Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 We just finished The Level, hope there is more! Quote
Kylie Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 WAYYY! He must've been young but he totally looked like Logan. Only younger. But not like a 12yo-young. He was playing a high school student. I think he was playing someone who was 16-17 years old or something. I have to google how old the actor is... Okay he was born in 1977 (he looks our age, not -77!! ), so when the series was filmed, he was ... 22-23 Oh wow, he'll be 40 this year!! When he played Logan, he was... 26? Okay, so he is a young face and plays younger-than-he-really-is characters. Wow! He never seems to age, does he? He still has such a boyish face. I love his smile. I've been watching The L Word lately. I saw a few episodes when it originally aired, and I'd been meaning to watch the rest. Decent show, for the most part. Quote
frankie Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Wow! He never seems to age, does he? He still has such a boyish face. I love his smile. Boyish is the word I would use most definitely He never ages! Quote
lauraloves Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I'm working my way through Blindspot with hubby - its really good Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Watched the first one of Neil Brand's new series last night - The Sound of Musicals - all about the history of stage musicals. Lovely hearing about the origins of shows like Show Boat, Carousel and Oklahoma! There was also a piece about My Fair Lady and how Julie Andrews was an unknown before then, and the tough process she had to go through to prepare for the role, as well as some great archive footage. Quote
Madeleine Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I used to watch Blindspot but had to stop due to all the shaky camera work, which made me feel sick and dizzy! Had a look on imdb and it seems I'm not the only one, hope it's improved with the second series. Quote

I recorded that, I'm looking forward to watching it. I also recorded Show Boat and Carousel over Xmas as I've never seen them. I'm currently watching Timeless, This is Us, Uncle and series 5 of Girls, which has just come back on NowTV. Quote

chaliepud Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Glad to read that Timeless is being enjoyed. I've got the episodes waiting for me. It helps having Goran Visnjic in it Chrissy! Just finished season 12 of Grey's Anatomy, Maddie and I love this show, will be caught up soon with season 13!! Quote
Chrissy Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 It helps having Goran Visnjic in it Chrissy! He is a bit delish isn't he? Not a bad actor either! Quote
Ben Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Well I just watched Novak Djokovic get dispatched in the second round of the Australian Open by a wildcard so that was fun. Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 We've started watching the new Doctor Who spin-off series, Class. I've seen the first two episodes so far, and it's been pretty good - far more enjoyable than the main series, which I have to be honest, I've given up on and haven't even watched the last two series.

More reading time required Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I finally got round to watching To Walk Invisible, the dramatisation of the Bronte sisters getting on the publishing ladder. What a life they had! Quote
Madeleine Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I'm enjoying Timeless too, daft but fun, haven't seen this week's yet. They must love all that dressing up! Quote
Ben Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Caught up with the second season of Quantico before it returns after it's mid-season break in a few days. Quote
Virginia Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 It's a HP Deathly Hollows kind of day. Quote
