The Mock Turtle

I enjoyed it too. Especially Merlin!

I watched it and thought it was a bit daft but watchable.

I enjoyed it.

Hurray! At last someone is watching this. We absolutely loved it and it's got loads of my favourite actors in. Ciaran Hinds , Tobias Menzies , Paul Ready .

It gets better and better, Bean; the first episodes were the weakest.

I'm enjoying it a lot but the thing you are meant to be scared of is not scary. However the whole real circumstance is terrifying.

Yes. It's more the absolute horror of them being trapped. The book describes it all brilliantly.

I've just finished this and really liked it, it was a lovely ending. I think it's the only thing I've seen so far that had people talk through masks, and also didn't make the whole thing awkward (I love This Is Us but got really annoyed at the constant 'hello! It's so great that we have quarantined for the required two weeks so we can be in proximity to one another.').

All the episodes are on player which I didn't realise. I am going to try and wait until it's tv on Sundays for my period drama fix. Like the old days.

Its not an easy watch but Three Families on BBC is really good. It was on tonight and last night, so will be on iplayer, I assume.

We just watched the first one. It was 'good', very bleak subject matter obviously. I thought it was a little bit predictable. The dialogue, I suppose I mean.

I'm not Irish and I'm obviously not offay with NI (or the rep) but would people likely be that forth right in their opinions? I was quite shocked by it. The reaction of, say, the work colleague in the office, for example. It felt a bit hammed up for the sake of the storyline.

Probably not, to be honest Smal. NI is a very conservative place.

I had an awkward conversation about abortion a few years ago with my cousins husband, before the 8th amendment was repealed. He believed that it was acceptable in cases of rape but that was the only circumstances. He's not much older than me.

Squeak and I have just watched the whole of Starstruck on iPlayer and it was so good. We were both crying and laughing. I want Jessie’s hair a lot.

I’m ploughing through the new motherland. I love it so much.

There is a documentary about the Mr.Men on All4 with Matt Lucas. It’s been done with such love and affection, it’s like a hug.

Not ye olde TV but Sky - I watched all of Domina over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I binged the pact on iplayer. It’s a bit of a daft plot but it’s good acting and kept me interested for all 6 episodes.

We've watched that in real time Luna, so I've only seen 2 episodes so far, but I quite like it.

All that Glitters - a GBBO-style show with Katherine Ryan presenting about jewellery making - is still on iPlayer. It’s only six episodes so doesn’t need too much commitment, and the creativity is wonderful.

This is not really a recommendation as it hasn't started yet so I haven't seen it, but Ch5's new series about Anne Boleyn is starting on June 1st if anyone is interested.

We are ladyparts - Muslim female punk band is really good on channel 4 (or all4 if you're streaming)
