This doco on the Beeb was well done.

 

The Gold: The Inside Story

 

Told by the police who were there, this is the true story of Britain's biggest bullion heist.

In November 1983, armed robbers stole £26 million worth of gold from the Brink’s-Mat security depot near London’s Heathrow airport. The nation was gripped as the robbers escaped with 6,800 bars of gold with an equivalent value of nearly £100 million at today’s prices.

For the police it was a race against time before the gold was smelted, disguised and sold back on the open market. That much cash in the hands of criminals had the potential to fuel criminal enterprise on an unprecedented scale.

Speaking for the first time since the robbery, Detective Chief Superintendent Brian Boyce, who headed up the investigation, and DC Tony Yeoman reveal the challenges they faced, discuss the strategy they adopted and reflect on the tragedy that unfolded when they staked out Kenneth Noye, one of the men at the epicentre of the gang.

Operation Fortune. Don't know if this has been mentioned already, but I found it very enjoyable, great acting by an all-star cast and very funny.

It was okay, deserved of its 6.4 imdb rating imho.

A lot of well known faces all trying to out punchline each other.

Drive to Survive. Never been very interested in F1 motor racing, but this Netflix doco grabbed me for the whole five seasons.

Watched the pilot of Lucky Hank.

 

I found it only mildly amusing but because of Bob Odenkirk and a few other good actors I'll keep watching it at least for now.

 

It's set at a provincial small college around the English department. Reflecting typical real life the staff is diverse. Only the more irrationally "anti woke" brigade would be offended by a show accurately reflecting modern reality. A secular small American college now would be expected to have a diverse English staff.

 

The plot of the pilot featured a very annoying over entitled prima donna writer boy again reflecting a student characteryou'd expect to see on such modern campuses. Annoying in real life but entertaining to see in a show.

 

In the pilot we learn.why Hank is labeled Lucky.

Yes thanks it does look good.

 

When looking for that I also found the 2010 movie with Nicole Kidman, which also might be a good watch!

A woman keeps waking up every night at exactly 3.33 AM, in the middle of the so-called devil's hour between 3AM and 4AM, for seemingly no reason. A social worker and a mother to her strangely detached son Isaac, Lucy Chambers keeps getting deja-vu, and visions of things that have never happened. At the same time, police are investigating a seemingly random chain of murders that somehow connect to Lucy and her son Isaac.

 

Many thanks for recommending this, am binge watching & loving it ????

I download Extraordinary a few months ago and just got around to watching it. I enjoyed it and it has a 7.8 rating on IMDB. I think that rating may be a little on the high side.

 

I would recommend watching the trailer prior to downloading to see if it is something you might find interesting. It is a bit of a silly show.

I've just finished watching Avatar: Way of the Water and enjoyed it. It was nearly 3 hours long but I was entertained all the way through. Well worth a watch IMHO. I got it from TGx.

I was looking forward to A2,  won't be for A3 or 4.

 

Wasted 3 hrs, and not even good as a 'time filler'.  For months wife asked 'when when when' .... she fell asleep watching, and didn't ask me to save it.

Lasted 30, too simplistic and predictable, the old fashioned cliched shoot em up colonel did not help. Great visual effects not enough to outweigh the weak story and acting. On the other hand The Night Agent had me hooked.

Just finished watching Tetris and thought it was a good watch. Just out today and on the torrent sites. I believe it is based on a true story. It has a 7.2 on imdb.
