'Brody' has signed up on a massive contract for series 3,4, and 5! How on earth the plot can last that long I have no idea?!?


However, excellent tips on Damages having extra series....loved 1 and 2.


Other guilty box-set pleasures have been 'The Unit', think Desperate Houswewives meet SAS action.

Hmmm....now I love DH so might just have to check out 'The Unit'.


Whilst t'other side of the pond is producing some great writing, it's sad to see Uk screenwriting descend into ham. The new fashion seems to be period drama soap opera (Downton and The Paradise spring to mind). Lark Rise to Candleford has much to answer for.

Loving Homeland too but have to say didn't go with the bit where Brody was taking the tailor to the safe house and ended up killing him. Surely, if Brody was about to speak at some glamorous political fund raiser the terrorists could have found someone else to deal with the tailor. Also the tailor falling on the spike in the wood - of all the spikes in all the woods. I thought for a minute they were going to run into the Walking Dead Zombies (fab too).


Am I too involved?


Oh and is the new surveillance guy (brought in to oversee last wk's Brody following and capture) a goody or a bady?


Good to see a smattering of fab British actors with lead roles in both dramas - once I've got over their accents.

Having watched the season finale on beeb 3 this week you could do worse than watch Lilyhammer.

A one dimensional send-up of The Sopranos it may have been, but it had a good script and a whole host of fine comic turns.


Steven Van Zandt provided much of the comedy in the sopranos, and hones Silvios character to comedy perfection here, but the supporting cast are absolutely impeccable most notably Trond Aurv?g (yeah, I had to look it up) as his hapless but earnest sidekick who would steal every scene he was in.


Daft as it was it was an absolute joy.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
