It’s addictive, isn’t it. I only realised when I was watching ep 7 that the title credits are pretty risqué - both the little people pictures but also the rolling “hills” and “valleys” that they’re positioned against and around.

Same! It took me to episode 7 before I realised the rolling hills were body parts!

It's a great romp! Anyway, looks like series 2 is being shown on BBC2 from Wednesday.

I'm really looking forward to the new Strike!
We watched 2 episodes of Manctopia which is worth a watch, its on BBC 2 but we got it on iplayer. Its a documentary about the gentrification of Manchester and the impact on folk who grew up there and are being pushed out. Its interesting although quite depressing at times.

I’ve finished watching S2 of Harlots on iPlayer now and have bought STARZPLAY to watch S3 on Amazon - if anyone does fancy this subscription channel (there’s a reasonable amount of stuff on there) it’s on offer at the moment for £1.99/mo for 6 months (after which it’s £4.99). I think the offer is available till the end of September.

I’m loving the new all creatures great and small on C5. Escapist fluff with nice scenery.

I watched A Very English Scandal while ironing yesterday. It was really good, and mildly horrifying.

Is that the Hugh Grant one?
We watched The Comey Rule which was on Sky Atlantic, it was pretty good although depressing. We also watched Honour which was on ITV last week and that was also really good, and quite sensitively handled. It was very sad though.

Has Love Life been mentioned at all? We've just finished it and it's a nice, light watch.
Anna Kendrick is what drew me to it.

I've just watched 25 Siblings and Me about a young man who meets his siblings - they were all from a sperm donor - it's about how he fits in when he has Asberger's and cultural differences as he is British and they are all American.

It was fascinating I thought. Seeing their strong physical similarities yet the vast void between Oli and most of them connection-wise. I really felt for him and his mum.

It seems there are probably even more of them as the two sperm banks involved didn't have the best record keeping and out of all the siblings discovered so far there are only a handful of males which suggest there may be a lot more brothers out there.
