Did you watch Red Riding a couple of years back?

I enjoyed The Game.


I also liked No Offence though it is a very different kettle of fish. It is quite 'in your face' at times, but the more episodes I watch, the more I get the characters. At times, though, it seems like a comedy that has not quite pulled it off.

Been watching Fortitude (2 episodes away from the end of season 1 - Season 2 has been comissioned).


After being a bit unsure at the end of episodes 1 & 2 (double episode), I may well have not bothered, but the wife liked it a lot so we pushed on. Glad we did, it's very good. Unique location (set in northern most Norwegian island, but I think largely filmed in Iceland), good cast, and with 2 episodes yet, I have yet to work it out (I have theories, but not sure, and usually I'm pretty good at guessing these thigs).


Would recommend. Only 12 45 minute episodes, so not too much of a commitment.

You'd better watch it online. Basically there were a series of flashbacks alluding to some traumatic event but it didn't reveal much.

The Walking Dead - If anyone has yet to have a look, especially if they're thinking "zombies are not my thing", then I recommend you try.


Zombies really aren't my thing except for Shaun of the Dead, and the awesome Zombieland, but they're more piss takes.


However, I decided recently to give TWD a try, and ended up doing 5 seasons in about a month. Very gripping stuff. Most episodes are good, with only the odd one where nothing much seems to go on. It's not constant zombie zombie zombie, it's about a group of people trying to get on, and trying to survive. It's about trying to cling on to whatever it is that makes us human, even when everything we know has gone to shit.


I like it a lot.

Although I'd say both Fortitude and Walking Dead are at the top of my second tier, not quite top tier with the HBO Classics.




Although...



SPOILER ALERT, STOP READING NOW IF YOU'RE NOT UP TO DATE WITH GoT...



Was it really bloody necessary to have a child burnt at the stake last week in a scene which does not happen in the books (and if the author puts it in a future book then he's just become a puppet to a TV Show), was not required for the p[lot, and has now totally ruined a character that was becoming popular?


Gratuitous shit.

    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
