Not so sure for me. Took me years of experimentation to realise that a few beers and a few smokes resulted in a very thick head a few hours later. Mind you, it was fun trying. And a single pint of Caffrey’s (do they still sell it?) or a glass of rose wine has the same result, instantly, minus the enjoyable bits. I have a weak constitution.
Did anyone see the first episode of the David Hare thriller Collateral on BBC2 just now? I took the dog out for a freezing walk, so only saw a few minutes and was wondering if it was worth catching up on. Looked very similar to lots of these dark crime programmes we have now, we have Scandi-noir to thank for it. Violent, dark, relentless stuff. Lots of these programmes, like Tram’s favourite Spiral, are really very good, but the cumulative effect of these, the conspiracy theory stuff (which I suspect Collateral to be about), and almost every ‘major TV drama’ being a fictionalised account of some horrible abuse case, has worn me down. I only need to read the news to be worried and scared, I don’t need telly dramas to do the same, however well written and acted they are. I can’t even hide in costume drama, Tom Hardy’s Taboo was the darkest of the lot (great though). So repeats of Midsommer Murders (one of Germany’s most popular programmes) it is then.
Don’t bother with Dunkirk SB it really is very poor stuff Loved the new blade runner feel to look at My lads are enjoying me showing them some classics via Apple TV Delieverance Cool hand Luke Thunderbolt and lightfoot The Eiger Sanction George Kennedy has new fans
I love ‘Thunderbolt & Lightfoot’; a personal fave, not least for the glimpse of beaver at the patio doors.
Dunkirk was terrible and very unfair, it shows half a dozen French soldiers trying to hold up the German army while the rest of their comrades had buggered off to the South Of France for a bit of sun.
Didn't watch it Stan, must admit I tend to drift away from dare I say British made versions of dark programmes, maybe it's the lack of sub titles that doesn't hold my attention!!!!! Started to watch the 2nd series of Modus on Saturday, I missed series 1 and haven't watched it on catch up so maybe I'm missing a vital part of the storey. Maybe all will come clear but it's a tad confusing at the moment, plus also there was a huge amount of mumbling going on when they spoke in English......
Not so much a review as a preview, three series coming up on Netflix this year that sound quite promising IMO...
WTF has happened to the Not606 board - no QPR header and no ability to create new threads - are we now "The Betting Board"?

I did PM the supermod brb to ask what was going on but have heard nothing back yet. Hopefully we'll find out soon.
Just watched this and was rather disappointed. Surprisingly clunky dialogue and unnatural acting (apart from Billie Piper who was wonderful). Hardly any plot development in this first part, either. Despite all this, I will see it through, because I think there must be better to come. There were intriguing references to privatisation and a Labour party which has shifted to the right, but it seems to be set in the near future rather than Blair-era. Give it a go.
