I'll say again. Fcuk off with your spoilers elsewhere.

Targetman

Anyone watching Dopesick, based on the dodgy dealings of an American pharmaceutical company and drug addiction, watched 4 episodes, a good watch

It's exceptional TV and is a shining beacon to warn us that if there's one country we should never try to emulate, it's the US of A.

Watched on Disney Plus. Up there with some of the best tv I ever saw.

Main Street

About the Tommy T show this evening, you would not have missed the audience but from the past shows the fact that there was an audience added an intensity to the interview. Somehow It works both ways.
There was an absolutely stunning end of show musical performance from Rachael Lavelle.

ONeill

That artist at the end stopped me in my tracks. I was halfway through a 3-legged St Bridget's Cross and put it down.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Good start for Masters of the Air. Will stick with it.

How far have you got? I watched episode 1 at the weekend and thought it was very good. No expense spared goes without saying.

First two episodes are all that's been released and then it's one a week thereafter. I've watched the first two and enjoyed it a lot.

Like BoB and the Pacific, it's character driven. The action sequences are stunning of course, but always secondary

2 episodes into Tulsa King, loving it.

I really enjoyed Tulsa King too.

Miners' Strike 1984: The Battle for Britain on Channel 4 or catch up.
The story of the strike through three different perspectives: A Derbyshire pit Village, the battle of Orgreave and the faceless forces who really run the country.
Excellent.
Questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be answered

I watched a bit  of episode 1, but it didn't really  explain the lead up to the strikes. A bit of back story  was needed for me who can't really  remember  it at the time

Read up on the reasons for calling the strike. It's worth it.
You are right though, a bit of context is needed.
I unfortunately remember it very clearly. :-[

Been meaning to watch this. I remember it every morning on tv as I was watching my breakfast before school. Maggie an oul cnut.
