I agree that the excitement of series one was mainly due to the 'is he?/isn't he?' question, hanging over most of the series.

However, now I have to keep watching, just to find out what happens next.

Claire Danes is excellent.


Can't compare it to 'Lost' or 'Prison Break' as I didn't watch either, so not sure what you mean Maxxi.

I watched them in the very early stages before seeing what was happening - and what is happening in Homeland.


The tv co. realises it has a good idea and decides to spin it out as long as it can, over as many series as it can, without ultimately resolving anything until it dies on its arse - then resolutions all round and a get-out clause in the final plot-line to allow for resurrection and/spin-offs.


I may be wrong and that rumours of D Lewis siging a five-year contract to keep playing Brody and that season 3 is being developed atm are just rumours but it looks like it's settling in for the long run.

I'm going from really liking Homeland to finding it tiresome and back again. Although I do like Claire Danes, her "I have mental health issues so I'm going to roll my eyes a lot" schtick is rather wearing.


The Killing was fantastic, as was The Bridge. I LOVED Damages season 1 & 3 and we are still very into The Good Wife.

I'm pretty much with edcam, so dar a bit ambivalent about this new series.

Series 1 was excellent though.


I'm obviosuly alone to being rather partial to Hunted. It has inherited Spooks' penchant for galaxy sized plot holes, but also its sense of fun.

Plus I've been rather partial to Melissa "Angel" George since my waking up for Neighbours and Home and Away student days.

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
