The Mark of Empire----Doco  rerun 2020    TVCHAOSUK---but you can find on Youtube

That was quite interesting.... I always wondered why the  Khmer's abandoned a city like Angkor, a thousand years ago.

 

4 parts 4 countries

 

 

500 years ago, Thailand's Ayutthaya was one of the world's largest and most cosmopolitan cities, transformation from backwater state to global superpower.

 

900 years ago, the Bagan Empire united Myanmar and transformed into a world center of Buddhism.

 

A thousand years ago, the ancient Khmer overcame nature to thrive, leaving behind iconic ruins a city that lie at the heart of Cambodian identity.

 

700 years ago, the Majapahit united Indonesia's isles & founded a trading empire whose networks stretched across the globe.

The Inheritance---ch 5.........4 episodes

Imdb is giving this an 8.3    ...so its either really good or they have a lot of friends voting.........usual story---rich father hardly visited----drops dead, 3 children ....so the fight begins

 

Three siblings are left reeling after the unexpected death of their father. Secrets are exploded, relationships ripped apart, and lives lost as they try desperately to claw back the inheritance that they have lost.

Already half way through the fifth series of Top Boy

[Yellowtail]

Had a few hours to kill waiting for the wife and MIL so I saw "Gran Touismo" at the movies the other day and was pleasantly surprised. 

 

Based on a true story and an IMDb rating of 7.4 which I would agree with.  

 

Great theater and B129 with the senior discount...

It's out there as both season 3 and season 5. The 2011 series was cancelled and a new one with the same name/actors etc was started in 2019. Eztv has single episodes for season 3 of the 2019 series.

Really? I saw it yesterday and was disappointed.  A lot of action but nothing really scary or even creepy. I was startled a few times but that was it.

Watched the first episode of the seven episode Who is Erin Carter and I'm conflicted about whether to continue.

As one scathing review said -- Who Cares?

 

 

I loved it.  The heroine will become the female Bruce Willis because of the amount of injuries/wounds she suffers during this 1st series.  Lots of interesting dialogue in-between the action.  Judicious use of flashbacks enhanced the plot.

Seems to be OK. Took ages (around 11 hours) to download.

For Bill Nighy fans, Page Eight might have gone under your radar, mine too, but I just watched it and I really enjoyed it. About Time is another of his best movies if you haven't seen it.

+1 ... slow start, but you knew it was going to go somewhere interesting, and agree, better use of flashbacks to fill you in, than most other series try using.

Thanks @delgarcon. I'm a big Bill Nighy fan, so I'll have a look at these two movies.

Newish Aussie show.

 

In 1995, seventeen-year-old Isabel Baker was murdered. The crime shocked the small town of Ashford and devastated the Australian South Sea Islander community of Elizabeth.

I noticed on BBC iPlayer that there was a movie from the 80s, called "Manhunter", the title of which I vaguely remembered, but could remember nothing about the film itself, so I decided to watch it, and am so pleased that I did because it was a very entertaining/good movie IMO.

I'm going to watch that xylo, good revues on IMDB as well.

[delgarcon]

A reminder to those of you who haven't yet watched Outrageous Fortune, it's definitely the best series to have come out of New Zealand and I was gutted, when it finally came to an end and I found that there will be no more. There are a couple of websites that host all 6 seasons and if you can't find them let me know.

For those that enjoyed The Walking Dead TV series, there is a new spinoff just released...

I didn't enjoy the walking dead program -- stated OK first 2 seasons, but then as usual , flogged to death.

I see however that IMDB gave this an incredible 9--10 when it first came out--(now down to 8.4) -so I guess give it a look

Thanks Jai Dee

If that's the one where Brian Cox plays Hannibal Lecter then it's excellent & (IMHO) much better than Silence of the Lambs.

Yes, thats the one........and a young looking Brian Cox was a surprise!! Also liked the music in it at the appropriate time; Iron Butterfly.....In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, as it suited the scene.

Agree, after the first 2 seasons they went woke. Didn't watch any more including the spinoffs.
