Just starting my second self isolation period. Any good recommendations?? Is the Clarkson farm one any use?
Absolutely. Well worth watching. There is some contrived nonsense that you'd see in Top Gear but it has done well because it shows a real insight into a lot of the issues farmers face. Would recommend it to anyone.

The Jeremy Clarkson farming thing on prime is very good.
It is. Watched first episode last night and thought it was excellent. From the reviews I've read it seems to be going down well with farmers and non-farmers

Excellent show & that's from a fella who spent many a happy day / night working on a farm. No money in it but plenty of real life friends & happiness. The weather makes or breaks you at times. Hard to beat the care free feeling of driving down a field in a cabless Massey, sun on your back.

Milltown Row2

Any Stranger things fans? Started watching it last month, finished it yesterday, if you are into that stuff and the 80's music along with some of the nerdy stuff of the 80's you'll enjoy this
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Loved Stranger Things. Watched the whole thing twice because the daughter wanted to watch it a few months ago.

Wrong thread but Summer of 84 is a good film that is set in tye 80s and has all the Stranger Things 80s type nostalgia too.

Cheers for the heads up, superb show. Episode 5 online today at some stage Gallsman? Armond is a great character

Have watched a few episodes of Beck, a Swedish cop series and found it to be pretty decent. Considering going back to the start as I'm st S8. Anyone seen it and worth going back to?

its a similar scene but a good bit better,  as in more original - better plots, his sidkick in the early era had more about him.  The hallmark swedish cop. drama series is Wallander, Beck is way off that pace.

Cheers. Might give it a lash and then move onto Wallander as pretty sure I've only seen a few of the Swedish version (seen all the Branaghs).

Presumably Sky Atlantic as it's HBO? Otherwise sail the seven seas.
