I'm only kicking myself that Monty Don isn't on telly over here. Don't get me wrong, Antiques Roadshow certainly takes the edge off a bit, but it's like morphine compared with the full, deep vein hit of Gardener's World or Countryfile.

Nothing wrong with a bit of that sort of thing.

I used to count the weeks to album releases or gigs.

Give me "Grand Designs", "Impossible Builds" or "Building The Dream" on Friday evening with a few beers/bottle of red wine and some grub and I'm beside myself with comfort.

My missus says that I watch them in the same way that I watch Liverpool Football Club though...

"What THE FUCK are you DOING?! Don't put the kitchen there!!! JESUS CHRIST! Have you got a fucking brain in your head? Why aren't they stainless steel?!"

Wait til you get hooked on 4 in a Bed.

Bangers & Cash is my one. Just something that's nice to watch and wind down with.

Pawn Stars for me. Get some really interesting items in from time to time.

Even I have my limits  :laugh:

Yeah, season 2 of Succession, only half way through but, is way, way better than the first one. And that theme music, jaysus it's only deadly.

Watched the first episode of The Shield. Never looked at this show before but it looks OK. A bit corny perhaps, but entertaining.

I must give Succession another go. There was absolutely nothing about the first episode that vaguely enticed me to go back, but at the same time, I'm also conscious that I have no attention span these days and probably don't give these things a fair go.

"The Shield" is great. I watched it around the time it came out and found it really enjoyable. Not in the same league as "The Sopranos", "The Wire" etc. but far superior to a lot of shit on television now.

The first season is a bit of a slog because I think that it was unsure of itself. From season two onward though get ready for some great TV.

Well, fair warning that I was pretty much like that all through season 1, bar one excellent episode in the middle. I persisted only because of the specific individuals who'd gone out of their way to recommend it to me, and true enough, season 2 is now paying dividends.

So far so good. It's not exactly subtle, but it is good fun.

Thé Shield is great craic.

Enjoying Midnight Mass on Netflix at the moment, nothing like a good mass

Ah, I love Mass
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

Started to watch Hausen as I had it recorded for a few months. A weird but slow burner, typical dark German series, a bit weirder than Dark or Rain, saying that its enjoyable though, great feeling of dread throughout due to the droning soundtrack.
