    I just watched Carry-On on Netflix. It is a thriller set in an airport at Christmas. Very exciting throughout and well worth a watch.

    Mrs Two told me that there's a new series of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here coming soon, I gave her the same reply as last year, 'different year, different 'celebrities', same c*nts watching it'. :emoticon-0138-think

    Saw the Importance of Being Earnest last night at the Noel Coward Theatre. Superb performance with Stephen Fry as Lady Bracknell. Such a brilliantly written play. Have seen some wonderful drama recently with the Producers. Have also bought tickets for All My Sons and Woman In Mind. Both of these shows I have acted in.

    Saw the importance of being earnest recently at the national theatre. Excellent play.

    I was in it many years ago. This production with Stephen Fry as Lady Bracknell is superb. Camper than a row of tents. Good to see you posting more @Squareball

    The excitement for tomorrow's Stranger Things episodes is building in Chez Ponders.

    I actually feel sorry for anyone who hasn't watched this sublime piece of tellybox.

    Honestly, give it a go. You'll be hooked from the first episode, then it just gets better. The Kate Bush episode is some of the finest tellybox ever made.

    It'd have to be when Mrs Two is out, she feels about Kate Bush like the average Charlton fan feels about Crystal Palace. :emoticon-0138-think

    I might give it a try, but looking on Wikipedia (I like to be adventurous) it seems to be science fiction which isn't really my cup of tea. The last sci fi I watched was Fringe, which I quite enjoyed. :emoticon-0138-think

    Some new Sci-fi drama from the BBC starting soon.
    From the Dr Who universe;
    The War between the Land and the Sea
    A re-imagining of the classic 'Sea Devils' storyline from the early 1970's Jon Pertwee era.

    I've become very disillusioned with Dr Who itself.
    But I'll give this spin-off a chance.
    Can't remember if it starts this weekend or next weekend.

    As above, sci fi isn't cup of tea, is William Troughton still the Doctor? :emoticon-0138-think

    His dad Patrick was, between 1966 and 1970 (approximately).
    Now it's going to be Billie Piper, if you can believe it <doh>
    Since 2005 there has been no British sci-fi I can remember except Dr Who.
    The whole genre has died.
    We only get US stuff now, which isn't my thing usually.

    Bring back Quatermass :emoticon-0126-nerd:
    Though they would probably mess that up too.
    All the original series were written by Nigel Kneale, who passed away in 2006.
