I created a list for people at work which might be useful for you: https://www.notion.so/markfresh/0232e1bcfe8041c4bbd65e77398c2cfc?v=ea658129a51d4f7893795ddbbbd315d3


I've just finished Call My Agent which was tres bien.

Currently watching the new series of Marcella aka Anna Friel, troubled again.

I really enjoyed Ted Lasso on Apple TV (I got a free trial). It's about an American football coach who's put in charge of a premier league football team and has to win everyone around. It shouldn't work but it does - sort of a heartwarming family comedy, but with lots of swearing.

Rebecka Martinsson on 4 and I like Great Pottery Throw Down although perhaps not hugh brow enough for this thread :) Watched both series of All the Sins (also on 4)recently but not sure whether I enjoyed them. Watched first one and a half episodes of The Serpent but couldn't get into it.


Just seen the Laurel and Hardy film is on BBC, didn't see it on release so may give that ago.

I loved A Discovery of Witches. It was, maybe still is, on Sky 1 and also on the catch up Sky channel. It's like a more adult-oriented Buffy, I'd say, with undertones of social justice (but not unsubtle, thankfully) and good twists.

On BBC4 via iPlayer try The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.

Also, Valhalla Murders on iPlayer was good.

Dalgleish on Channel 5 - kind of went under the radar of the media I think. Three two-parters that have finished now but you can probably catch up. Set in the early seventies and starring Bertie Carvell with great sideburns and an E-Type. Not what I was expecting of Channel 5 at all really.

I was late to BBC4's Paris Police 1900 series in their regular Sat night foreign series slot, so have been playing catch-up on iPlayer, imagine the offspring of Spiral and Peaky Blinders.


They're currently showing Stieg Larsson's Millennium series (Girl with the dragon tattoo etc), also worth watching...

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
