Gemmill 53468 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Is it about a princess? Has no one dipped their toe into Dope Thief yet? It's good stuff. Can't remember, might be on Apple+. We're back watching Reacher for some easy viewing. It's absolute horseshit but if I come with too much intense viewing it gets hard to convince my lass to fire up the next episode.

It’s British (Holiday Grainger stars). Feels more like an ITV drama than anything Disney produced.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 4451 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Diamond heist, the story of the millennium dome diamond robbery. 3 hours of thick cunts failing at everything they do and in the end you learn the diamonds were fake anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah I watched that the other day. I'd seen a different take on it some years ago when they revealed they'd switched the diamonds for fakes, but it wasn't from the angle of the bloke involved. Fairly decent watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 38432 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Into the third episode of 'A state of happiness' on the iPlayer, set in Stavanger in the sixties when oil is kicking off with the yanks trying to muscle in. Enjoying it so far which is just as well as we've ran out of stuff to watch, (not that I think the missus is bothered as the subtitles when the Norwegians speak is putting her off I can tell). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 24760 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Watching a documentary called "Turning Point: The Vietnam War". I've always been shamefully ignorant of this conflict and period in US history, despite Paul Hardcastle. It covers the politics, the war itself, it's impact on society and civil rights. Clearly the US has always been fucked up. Edited May 9 by Renton 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 24760 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Probably, I've watched it in Netflix. While I'm here the latest series of Black Mirror is a return to form imo after 2 dud series. Also I'd say Netflix basic with adverts is the way to go, they are barely noticeable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would play whilst listening to games on the wireless. Great times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think you might be thinking of this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vietnam_War_(TV_series) It was definitely shown in BBC4 and then I think it was on Netflix or Prime. Not sure where you can steam it now, possibly on YouTube though? Ken Burns has made some great documentary series. There was a one on Ernest Hemingway and another one on Muhammad Ali that were excellent. I’m only really into late 50s / early 60s Jazz (and even then only a little bit) but I even thought his series in the history of Jazz was well worth watching. There other ones like a series about Prohibition and the American civil war which were pretty epic. What really sets that Vietnam War one apart though is all the contemporary footage available due to the unprecedented access (not seen before or since) that journalists and filmmakers had. Absolutely superb is 100% spot on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
