Your not wrong, it was a rare night of good tv. I did make the mistake of watching Louis Therouxs City Addicted to Crystal Meth prior to The Street which made for a farily gloomy couple of hours. Stephen Graham(Occupation, This is England)is always a pretty mesmeric watch and his performance as the booze soaked wretch Shay in The Street was predictably impressive. Gawd bless Auntie.

Desperate Romantics.


I know it's a little well....desperate , it is a good jaunt or ride on a Tuesday night though.


Surely a panacea to all the Monday drugs & violence.


Then straight after on BBC4 The Pre-Raphaelites for a little light education.



Oh another kind of bliss.

I thought I had got away with some light T.V last night.


Did you watch OMAGH on Channel 4.


The facts presented are bloody shocking, I still can't get my head around it, so just visited Wikipedia to re-look at the sequence of events.I'm still baffled.


I thought it was well made & gave an accurate as portrayal of the events, the represented characters were treated with dignity and that came over well in my mind & yes, I did shed more than a tear last night.



Thankfully through the general mire some good T.V is still being made.

I thoroughly enjoyed Crude Britannia last night. A 3 part series about the North Sea oil industry. I've also been on board an oil rig.


Yeah, I watched this a while back mainly because there was nothing else on the Iplayer that caught my eye. Top class documentary for what on the surface seems fairly dry subject matter.

Getting on.


10.30 BBC4 , it's bloody painfully genius , set in a hospital with Jo Brand .Looks like the Office in style .

Plenty swearing & off colour un p.c jokes.


It is FAB



Oh and subtle puking to make you squirm.




Watch and marvel.



Very good this. I'm living with a couple of nurses who had just furnished the downstairs bog with a 'Stool Chart' the night before I watched the first episode. Good to see Ricky Grover acting against type as the oversensitive Matron and Jo Brand is suitably downbeat. Why only 3 half hour episodes though? Odd one that.

On the Wolf & Bon3yards recommendation I'm going to watch this on I player tonight.

Go for it Woof, you wont be disappointed.


Call me sad but I just find stuff like this really interesting add the fact that I've been on board a North Sea Oil rig during college. They're really intimidating behemoths of Civil/Marine/Mechanical engineering. Belly of the beast if you will.


The politics and the way of life were also fascinating in the way that they tied in so tightly with the successful running of a drilling platform alongside all the on shore influences as well.

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.  
    • I see what you mean.  Perhaps the "alcohol licensing flyer for Tesco Express on the Poundland site" confirmed by the OP has been removed then.
