Ah yes. Run Away. I did have a little titter watching those scenes. In fact from a police perspective the whole series was laughable. But watching her waddling into scene carrying a firearm was especially ‘entertaining’

Never seen it, I watched the first couple of Corben thrillers on Netflix and thought they they were all very sillmilar and quite predicable. Just googled it and seen this had 82% on rotten tomatoes!
 
Have you been watching the Basil Rathbone ones on YouTube? I must have watched six of them in the last month.

No mate. Never seen them, will have to give them a look. Seems they are more closely related to the original source material than BBC (Cumberbatch) which was excellent but obviously modern day.

The prime series is set in the same timeline but sherlock when he is younger, obviously by the title <laugh>.

Worth watching imo. I’m a bit of a Golden Age of Hollywood buff so I really enjoyed them.
 
Been getting into MasterChef recently, never had time for it before and I do enjoy being in the kitchen. One thing that strikes me is the skills challenge (if anyone watches is) the bring out some arrogant past champion to set the challenge, someone's that since the show have had opportunities to travel to say Asia, learn how to cook there. They then set a challenge to 4 chefs who haven't had the same opportunity, sit in the back watching someone attempt a Guatemalan dish with no pointers or experience and the sit there with their head in there hands berating Andrew from Glasgow for making mistakes as they watch on anonymous. Seems food for posh people is prepared by some arrogant pompous creatures indeed. Other than that...... some canny scran on view.

Yeah the skills test is a bit daft, I think it's just an icebreaker and doesn't actually matter but the judges pulling all sorts of shocked faces is a bit twatty considering the circumstances.
 
DTF St Louis is good, it's weird and takes a bit of getting used to but the plot is interesting and it's got a good sense of humour.

Also rewatching X-Files. Don't think I've seen it since the 90s but it's aged very well.
 
Sorry if this has already been posted, but Mr Inbetween on Disney plus is some cracking telly. Has you laughing out load one minute then holding back the tears the next in the same episode. Been out a couple of years now so I'm a bit late to the party but if you haven't watched it, watch it.

I second this it's brilliant

Watched it years ago and is honestly some of the best telly I've ever seen. Does make you feel a bit odd liking a bloke capable of what he does. But that's where the title come from I suppose.
 
Anyone watching "The Capture" on bbc? My head just about exploded with last night's episode!
Had wished the army people would have gotten arrested but obvs for S4 they needed to set a story in place
