On your recommendation - I'm giving it a go. 30 minutes in and I'm still waiting for it to start. Sharpe just seems wrong in it.
What are you watching on TV right now?

Apologies. I must admit, I found it got worse as it got on. I think it was just depicting the humdrum of some marriages. Save time, watch something else!
'Digging for treasure' A live program, out in a large field, metal detecting - seems a bit silly and pointless running a program in a field, seeking finds and now well after dark.
Well, that's that.
Last night i watched the final episode of Better Call Saul. A bitter-sweet ending, but an appropriate conclusion to the finest television series i've ever seen. Now i can watch Breaking Bad one more time and conclude the odyssey with the tv movie, El Camino and put it in the pantheon of classic shows: The Sopranos; The Wire; Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have given me twenty years of great scenes, snappy dialogue and unmatched storytelling. If you haven't seen any of them, i get it, they're not for you - but oh lordy, you missed out.
No idea what comes next, but in many ways television won't be the same again: BBC Drama? don't make me larf. Amazon? no way will i buy Prime. Apple tv? do me a favour.
I could go back and watch them all from the beginning but they have their place in history and each show takes me back to the times in which i watched them so i guess they'll have to be taken out in clips, from time to time, like favourite albums from my collection, to remind me of those times. 'S all good, man.

Agree Breaking bad most probably the best TV I've seen. Is better call Ssul just as good?
Some say BCS is better than BB...but i'm not one of them. Saul is a different charecter, different show. It's a prequel to BB, but it brings charecters from BB into the narrative to explain how certain events unfolded with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman; how Saul came to work with Gustavo Fring and Mike Ermentraut.
The first three seasons show a young Jimmy McGill and the relationship with his brother Charles, then goes on to reveal how he got mixed up in the Mexican Cartel.
If you've watched Breaking Bad then you have to see Better Call Saul. Enjoy.
No country for old men. Weird.
One of my all-time top ten movies: just for this scene alone it should've won the Oscar that year: "Call it..."
I imagine that old guy waking up in a cold sweat later that night, and realising exactly what the stranger meant when he told him it was his 'lucky quarter'.
Bad Sisters. Hilarious black comedy. On Apple TV+
Gorbachev being interviewed on TV, BBC 4 - interesting what he has to say about Putin - sub titled..
Just a heads up, 10.10pm tonight on bbc4 starts a rerun of the 1996 award winning drama Our Friends In The North, set over nine episodes, this is well worth a look if you missed it first time round, stellar cast featuring Daniel Craig, Chris Eccleston, Mark Strong, Gina McKee, Malcolm McDowell, Alan Armstrong and Peter Vaughan.
8pm will be sitting down to double bill of Air Crash: Disaster (was called Air Crash Investigation when shown before on Discovery). One of the best series I have ever seen. It's got everything, investigation, mystery, science and engineering for us anoraks, great reconstructions - bit like a who dunnit for aviation.
Always amazing to see how the simplest omission or fault can sometimes down an airliner eg. when someone washed an aeroplane, but forgot to remove the protective tape from the pitot tube - completely befuddled the plane's computers and brought it down with all hands.
Double bill starts at 8pm on Wednesdays or 9pm Saturdays on 5 Select channel - Freeview 56, Sky 153 or Virgin 152.

And it’s not even Christmas!
I love a good aircrash - so long as i'm not on it, obviously - and some of the causes are so small, so trivial, it's eye-popping to think lives are lost because of the time an insect set up home in a pitot tube, causing false readings in the cockpit, confusion for the pilot, death for 200 people.
Remember the Air France crash into the Atlantic? One man is trying to lift the nose to compensate and the other is trying to point the nose down - the captain comes back from his scheduled sleep to find them struggling to maintain height and it's only 30 seconds from plunging into the sea before he realises what's going on.
The transcript on the voice recorder was chilling.
I'll keep an eye open for that one.
