That's it the last two episodes- bye Vera, great show!

    Rewatching Mad Men; I think I missed some of the episodes first time around.   Wonderful series, and easy to see why Variety named it the second best tv series of all-time.   Also watching New Amsterdam, Slow Horses, Yellowstone, The Good Place, A Man on the Inside, No Good Deed, Outlander, The Agency, Dalgliesh, and Black Doves.

I absolutely love Survivor US, and just finished season 47. Craving for more, I checked if UK ever produced this show, only to find that there are only 3 seasons. Does that mean it is not worth watching?

[Rimmer]

First two episodes of the Long running show Silent witness series 28 is up on EZTV

[SportRider]

I'm really surprised to see no Taylor Sheridan mentioned yet.. 

If you're of the generation that grew up watching cowboys and indians on TV (yes, I know,)..  Then you'll enjoy his writing.  Even the modern times stuff... 

 

Yellowstone 

1883

1923

Tulsa King

Mayor of Kingstown

Landman (season 1 running now) 

Lioness (is a bit duff but the battle scenes are ok.) 

 

He also has A tier actors.. Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Sylvester Stallone, etc.

Gosh how did I miss that--one of my favorites....... thanks Mutt Daeng.......

Also on YouTube, I have downloaded it already to avoid the ads and to watch it later

[Watawattana]

Just finished watching the first season of '24'.  Never watched it when it first came out; it's really good if a little aged of course.  Interesting scene where a terrorist blows up a bomb that's been packed into a telecoms device, wonder who in Mossad watched '24' recently?

Decent actor, he played a Judge in a TV series, can't remember the name of it, but it was very good.

To me he was best as Doyle in The Professionals back in the mid '70s to early '80s.

Having said that,  on stage as Elvis Presley in Alan Bleasdale's "Are you Lonesome Tonight", he was absolutely brilliant.

Just spent the last year watching every single Top Gear (240) episodes since the Jezza & Hamster relaunch in 2002 with Capt. Slow joining at the start of Season 2 (2003). Plus the complete The Grand Tour series (46 episodes).

An episode a night before a movie.

Interesting the early reports on EVs and especially on Hydrogen cars.

BBC iPlayer had the movie, "A Bridge Too Far" available for the next month, so I thought I'd watch it as I can't remember anything about it, or even if I had watched it previously!

 

The whole operation was called "Operation Market Garden" and was mainly conceived by the British, although in its operation there were US, Canadian and Polish forces taking part.

 

Sadly the whole operation was a failure and around 15,000 and 17,000 troops were killed and captured. History has laid the blame mainly at the feet of Montgomery and Urquart although there were many other components overseen by other fairly incompetent army personnel which contributed to the disaster.

 

I experienced a tinge of sadness when I saw the paratroopers descending upon the Dutch countryside and remembered the words of my father when he described how paratroopers were crying out for help when they were dumped in the sea on an aborted airborne landing off the coast of Italy (or was it Sicily?) and drowned, weighed down by the heavy gear they were carrying.

 

Certainly Montgomery was an arrogant, pompous and self righteous man who really didn't get on with the American commanders (and them with him neither), however he was successful in his own right and my father fought under him in the 8th Army in the battle of El Alamein, which was a huge success in routing the Germans in North Africa.

 

Brought back memories for me...........pics of Dad during WW11
