"A Place In The Sun" on Channel 4.

Up there with "Homes Under The Hammer" & "Location, Location, Location" for a lovely bit of half-pissed/half-hungover schadenfreude viewing.

"We'd like a 3 bed, 2 bath, house with a pool."

"Right"

"Near a beach"

"What's your budget?"

"£35k - Spain is cheap innit?!"

And then seeing the shitholes they end up having to look at....   :laugh:

Farscape just started on Sy Fy, gonna give it another go. Tried it before, thought it waas crap after a few episodes but apparently it found its feet and grew into something good. Still reeks of Muppets In Space though.

Funny you mention that one. I was going through an old harddrive and I'd Farscape on it. Got 2 eps in. Muppets on space is fairly accurate. Sci-Fi stuff in general ages badly I find. You'd think more attempts would be made to adapt Sci-Fi books.

I'm told the Foundation series (TV that is) is good, I'm holding off 'til I read the books - got a pile of them for christmas so will tackle them soon.

The Foundation books are great. The show is on my list but I dunno how they'll adapt for TV in this instance. As good as the books are, it's actually the last series I'd have chosen to make into a TV show. Jared Harris is in it though and he always elevates things.

I've heard it's good, but so far only from mates who never read the books.

Just started 'Godless' on Netflix, any fans?

Foundation season 1 was decent enough.
It spans about 30 years and gets a bit confusing at times, but it does come together by the end if the season.
Looking forward to season 2.

Foundation is fairly unrelated to the books as well. It's based off the prequel books, the last written in the series so if your reading in release order it won't spoil anything. Pretty major character and plot changes from the books too. Still enjoyed it tho and a knowledge of the universe and lore definitely helps.

Ploughing into the second season of Occupied and its still holding up. Well worth a look if it's available on Netflix over there. I'm assuming it will be as it's Norwegian.

Currently rewatching Deadwwod. It has to be in the top 10 best shows ever made. Flawless so it is! The movie that was made a few years back was also brilliant

That's one I never finished, moved into a flat with no telly at some point in its run, so I missed the last few seasons.

Did you get the pilot (Children Of The Gods, a two-parter) in? It's omitted from the boxsets, for some reason.

Yeah, we're watching with Nowtv and that's on it. 12 episodes in. It's being removed later this comming week, and we've two hundred or so episodes to go 🤔

It's back on Now TV, and we're later part of season 7. Jaysus, the amount of shark jumping!

Aye, it really went off the rails more and more as it went on.

There's also an animated series, apparently. Haven't come across that.

Watching recently.
Halo - mindless nonsense of a sci fi. Pretty crap but watchable.
Severance - stellar cast. Weird as fuck and a great watch. On episode 5 and hooked.
Seinfeld - first time watching it properly. It is fucking genius.
