    Slow horses,man. Just keeps getting better. Quint from Jaws style story telling in episode 4 from Gary Oldman is class.

    Its an absolute nightmare just being able to watch the single episode a week.
    I am not a huge TV fan but I binge watched the earlier shows. As you say Gary O is absolutely superb.

    Speaking of Gary Oldman, The Firm is available on iPlayer. Did Steve McFadden ever have hair?

    I thought Gary Oldman was brilliant in Leon,
    One of my favourite films.

    Ah Gil, I truly believe that the director just said to Oldman "do what you want", absolutely class. I think that's why Brosnan went on the way he did in Morland (Morlands great telly aswell mate).

    The Simpsons Halloween episodes, on tonight, are absolutely phenomenal.

    I don't watch it so much, these days, but some of these are brilliantly done ...

    ... 'The Raven' is a superb take on the Edgar Allan Poe classic and 'The Tell-Tale Heart' is wonderful.

    The original stories have stood the test of time and these are fabulous parodies.

    Football, Cancer and Me was excellent. Full of great interviews and insights. Tony Mowbray really opens up about his experience, top bloke.

    Every person on the show has a different perspective on it.

    Agreed. It’s been a great series. In fact all three have.

    Game of thrones was epic up until season 7 and I loved the 3 / 4 seasons of prison break
