It's absolutely bob on that and even though it's a few years old it's still right on the money! 

That paper aeroplane thing today, they were trying to throw them into a basket in the middle of the room as one of the guests had been doing on Taskmaster this week (BTW, that Fern Brady, absolutely sensational) and Lovejoy came the closest, you should have seen his reaction fucking hell, genuine show off gloating thinly veiled by bants. He's a fucking weapon.

The Bear on Disney plus is one of the best things I've seen in years. A must watch.

Heard very good things about this. Is it the claustrophobic thingymabob?

Really? Loved everyone of them. Although episode 7 and the last one are amazing.

Just feels like a bit like a Fast Show sketch with a young Al Pacino and Robert De Niro running a butty shop.

That's a shame, I think its really well written and funny. The bit in recovery where he talks about his brother his excellent. As I say only TV show I've properly binged in ages.

That and Industry which is also brilliant.

Anybody on with my that dram as about Maxine Carr?

Channel 5 this week?

Dunno how they are aiming to to portray her, but the actress playing her had a cracking little figure.

I'll definitely watch the rest of it.

He is really good.

Apologies of this has been mentioned before. On a bit of a Scandy crawl recently and just discovered a Norwegian one called Wisting.

Two episodes in and it's looking like another good un.

Finshed LOTR Rings Of Power

last couple of episodes were intersting enough, but the series as a whole was pretty shite

there's 4 more series to come

I will watch them, but it has to improve massively for me

House Of The Dragon pisses all over it

one episode left of that

I've liked them both, but either are that great.

That Dahmer thing has bored me ridgid. Serial killers are really dull.

I've restarted The Wire.
Just up to S2E4 right now.

I've done every series/season three times now. S2 is the best.

And I'm not usually one for watching stuff twice even.

Amazing - I am at 180 degrees from you. I'll watch the rings of power over and over again. Not the other one.

The Rings Of Power has also encouraged me to have another bash at The Silmarillion. Far further through this time and things are now starting to make more sense thanks to the series.

The early parts of it remain hard yards though and until the Melkor to Morgoth change comes around leading to Sauron, it doesn't really become an easier read. Ungoliath has me wondering if it was the inspiration for Shelob, a predecessor or a long living ally of the dark lord. Might find out further through the book.

Fair play to the series for giving me the inspiration to try again.

He won't read this so someone might want to repost Shelob is a decendant of Ungoliath.

It's not a difficult read, it's just a bit dry in parts.
