Another vote for Adolescence. Watched it in two hits over the weekend and it was brilliant whilst also feeling like a punch in the guts.

As the Dad of a teenage boy AND girl it especially struck home but think the point of this is it’s a problem that society as a whole has to face into so I’d make it essential viewing for everyone.

Watched the first episode of Mob Land. Typical Guy Ritchie stuff but has potential enough to keep watching.

Just binged This City is Ours. Very entertaining although storyline a little far fetched in places. Best thing i've seen on the BBC for a long while.

What struck me about it (with a few exceptions) was how much better I knew the Originals raher than their Covers.Age I suppose .

Series 2 of The Change. Not as good as S1, still excellent though.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw the first episode in the new series of Michael Portillo's Great British Train Journeys last night.This time MP was in the Weald (ie rural Kent).A Rather fine,if slow moving programme.Few British politcians can have reinventd themselves as well as MP over the years.

Saw that the adolescence team are going to remake Threads. Watched the original from the 80s on iplayer. A scary and depressing watch. It could so easily happen. I would prefer to be fried rather than survive the aftermath

Saw Blondie's 1981 concert on TOGWT on BBC 4 last night along with Shirley Bassey at the BBC.My late Mum used to be a big fan of SB's and I guess I am too.

Ripper Street a series on Netflix. Absolutely superb 9/10

Ripper Street a series on Netflix. Absolutely superb 9/10

Is this the original Ripper Street that was on TV with Mathew McFadyen and Jerome Flynn? We absolutely loved this!

Couple of things, really enjoying Stacey and Joe on a Tuesday evening, proper warts and all "at home" with Stacey Solomon, Joe Swash and their family, at their stunning home, Pickle Cottage, near Kelvedon in Essex. Don't normally like these kind of things but they're so down to earth and natural and not at all up themselves.

Flowers in the Attic on Channel 5 on a Friday night. Probably no good for most of you blokes, but any young woman worth her salt read this series of books back in the 80s - I still have mine. The books tell the story of 4 children hidden away in a big old mausoleum of a house by their mother and grandmother, to keep them secret from their grandfather. Flowers in the Attic is actually the name of the 1st of these books, what is on telly is actually the prequel to them (Garden of Shadows) which tells the grandmother's story and gives you insight into why she is as she is. Excellent viewing if you like the books.

Started episode 1 of ITV's Safe Harbour series. The cast includes Jack Gleeson and Alfie Allen (both of Game of Thrones fame). We won't be watching any more episodes, totally gash.
