Hearing good things about a new show called 'Animal Kingdom'. Anyone ever hear of it? Maybe based on a film,

If it is half as good as the film it's on to a winner.

Anyone see The Commute?
Saw about 3 minutes of it while searching for the remote control. Had if taken me any longer I would have put my boot through the TV to get it turned off. This must be the greatest load of sh1te ever to be broadcast. John Logie Baird must be turning in his grave.

Just started watching series one of 'The Trip' on Netflix. Missed it the first time around on the BBC. Enjoyable wee programme. Slow moving, 1-2-1 dialogue (basically) between the two (askewed versions) of themselves.
Currently making a new one in Spain.
I love that show.  Glad to hear they're making a new series - shouldn't work, but does.

Dear lord, embarrassing for those involved or what.

Whoever commissioned this should be taken out and shot with a ball of their own dung!

Thats S4 of Ray Donovan finished. Great series - if you haven't seen it I think you need to see it from S1. Jon Voight (Mikey) is brilliant in it.

It shows 10 or 15 commuters as they drive to work. They are given various topics to talk about in the hope that someone says something funny. It is mildly amusing, especially if you happen to know the people.

In fairness Carshare was a great piece of television albeit not improvised!

Season 4 wasn't as good as the previous 3, but still love the show.

Just watched last night's "National Treasure" on Channel 4. Fantastic performances from both Robbie Coltrane and Julie Walters.

watched the first episode last night. Not sure what to think of it tbh. Will give it a couple more to see how it goes

Main Street

Quarry  new 9 part series has started. I've watched the first two episodes. Set in 1972 somewhere in Hicksville about a demobbed soldier from Vietnam  gradually being 'persuaded' into becoming a hitman by Peter Mullan. Apart from cliches and belief being stretched this way and that way and the main character painfully trudging through mud of his own making, it's got something, probably due to atmosphere from the era. The music is top class, you get scenes set in a lunchtime cafe and there just happens to be a bunch of top class musicians playing the blues in a corner space, blues with the crisp clear sound of a needle dropping onto clean vinyl.
