At least they get to do it again. Live theatre we have to get it right every performance. And deal with it when we don't!

But yes. I've been watching the behind the scenes stuff as well. Really good.

oh dear, - the trials and tribulations of the amateur traumatic society

I watched The Day of The Jackal recently. Decent if utterly implausible.

Giving Dune: Prophecy a try too.

Was the mercury tipped bullet in it? Just askin' for a friend. .

The cognoscenti seem unimpressed. Bullets even more magic than the one that killed Kennedy.

Adolescence on Netflix.

The acting and camera work is amazing. Gripping story too. I didn't find it particularly distressing but I know some people did.

Read quite an interesting "behind the scenes" article on this. Every episode is genuinely 1 take. In the episode at the school, apparently the guy who plays the cop got a bit distraught as during a near-perfect take, right at the end when he chases that kid out the window, he yelled out the kids real name instead of the character name. Doh

Hey you are so very clever aren't you?

I like Ramsey's kitchen nightmares.

Watched 3 of 8 episodes of the thriller miniseries Prime Target on Apple TV. About a genius Cambridge uni maths student who gets involved in a shadowy conspiracy about prime number theories and cryptography.

Enjoyable, but as usual, many of the scenes involving use of computers and CCTV seem a bit unrealistic.

Have just finished the latest series of Uncanny on BBC iPlayer. It's a complete crock of nonsense but there's always something about a ghost story. The "experts" trying to argue for and against the stories being real are more far fetched than the tales themselves.

I've listened to the BBC podcast of the same name for yonks, and the TV show follows the same format, more or less.

Guilty secrest are great. I like Ramsey's kitchen nightmares.

And the MkI Granadas. I liked those. Rust buckets though they were.

The Sweeney S1.

Forgot how good this was, it will probably set the lefties off. Imagine looking for facts not being a social worker.

The velvet suits and roll neck sweaters are scary though.
