Yep definitely none of those Pip

[Kleio]

Inside Man on BBC 1 was entertaining and frustrating. The cast were very good!

[Kenickie]

Oh I'm just watching that right now!

Paying full attention obvs.

[Disco]

That Inside Man annoyed me. I haven't finished it.

I'm watching Somewhere Boy at the moment. It's dark, sad, funny and a good watch. I think it's Channel 4.

[Morganna]

I was going to ask about (Somewhere Boy). It's on my list of things to see.

[Disco]

It’s really good. Well acted.

[Turtle Bean]

The plot of Inside Man was quite ludicrous but it was fun to watch.

[sally maclennane]

Inside Man was really daft but I do love Stanley Tucci so I'd watch him in anything

[Disco]

I didn’t like killing eve either. I think I like things to not have a silly edge in darkness.

[Kleio]

Wrecked on BBC2 is a slightly gory drama about 20-somethings working on a cruise ship. It wasn't as predictable as I expected it to be and was a good binge watch over 2 sessions.

Has anyone watched SAS Rogue Heroes? It took me ages to connect the main actor with Adam from Sex Education.

[sally maclennane]

We watched all of SAS Rogue Heroes (on Sunday nights but available on iplayer) which I really enjoyed. Good cast and well written. The only negative for me was Jack O'Connell's terrible Irish accent, and the actual character he played.

[Kleio]

I really enjoyed it too and I hope they do the second series. It sent me a down an google hole as the real life stories are even more crazy.

[Lily]

I'm the same. Killing Eve left me cold.

I am quite enjoying The House Across the Street although Claudia is so bonkers I want to wallop her.

[Arrietty]

Is anyone watching the US version of Ghosts? It’s not as charming as the original version, but I am quite enjoying it. It may be because I’m unwell, but the Pete episode made me properly cry

[Kleio]

I’m trying to watch The English (bbc iplayer) and it makes no sense at all.

[Squirrel]

I’ve watched the first episode and had to rewind and Google for recaps. I think I’ve got it now but would appreciate any insight if I’ve misunderstood or missed some major plot point hidden in messy dialogue.
Minor spoilers for ep. 1:

…

Cornelia sets off to get revenge for the death of her son. Eli sets off to reclaim some land. They both end up at the dodgy “hotel” where Eli is strung up. The plan is for the hotel owner to kill Cornelia and frame Eli. Eli is being taken to be handed in. He escapes and heads back to the hotel. The hotel owner tells Cornelia that he knew she was coming and her journey has been set up (this was the bit I was mightily confused about) by some mysterious shady boss man who we haven’t met yet. Hotel guy is going to rape and kill her. Eli kills him instead and they both kill the other guy, (but what happened to the third yokel playing the accordion?!) Eli says he came back to get his bag which contains medicine. Cornelia persuades him to travel together and off they go.

Is that about right?

Yes that’s about right! I’ve watched the whole thing now and it makes a bit more sense. There were some bits that seemed to be there for no reason and there’s others I’m still confused about. I was disappointed.

[Squirrel]

Right thank you. I think the lack of clarity is going to annoy me but will persevere.

[sally maclennane]

We've recorded the English, I've seen so many people raving about it that it's slightly put me off, if that makes sense.

Did anyone watch 24 Hours in Police Custody last night? It was so sad but also really thought provoking. I keep thinking about it this morning and it's all over Twitter.
