"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

[Takashi Miike]

Yep, brillant, the guy was a genius.  Some of my favourite Parky interviews were with Michael Caine.  Very funny guy with a story or two to tell.

there's a very brief interview with Dick Emery, for me another brilliant performer. it's just a shame the full interview isn't avbailable, as he's so funny

Not really a TV Box Set but as I am laid up with man flu at the moment have been digging out what I can on whatever Michael Parkinson Interviews I can find.  On Iplayer there are several.  Peter Ustinov interviews are very funny and Hollywood Men is fascinating.  They really don't make film stars like that anymore.  Jimmy Stewart, Kirk Douglas, James Cagney, pity I can't find the full interviews anywhere.

zico, you must have seen this one? It's great

[Council Scum]

Finished Bodkin, around where the family is from and quite light hearted. 

[Swiss.]

There actually sweet FA out there atm. Chad Powers is quite fun. The Last Frontier I've already mentioned. 

[Massive Attack]

Not a Parkie one but this interview with Tom Waits that inspired Heath Ledgers Joker always fascinates me.

Check out the Parkinson - Orson Wells interview. Classic.

I’ve been rewatching Rescue Me, the firefighter drama comedy set just after 9/11. It’s very funny, definitely made for blokes and arguably Denis Leary’s best work .

Watched Wayward, clearly written by a gay, but its ok. 

[Swiss.]

Been watching The Last Frontier. Pretty good so far. Same team behind The Blacklist.

[Swiss.]

Been watching Task, just the final episode to go. Loved it.

Watched 1st episode and though it was shite. 

[WHU(Exeter)]

Started season 3 of Blue Lights, thought seasons 1 and 2 where good but this is next level so far!

Say what you want about the BBC, yes, the news coverage is lefty and woke bollocks at times but fuck me they can still make an excellent and griping Police drama! 

Superb stuff this....

honky cat.

I saw love hate and yea, it was very good.  Only found out about Kin when a comedian mentioned it on a podcast, gald I did.

[honky cat]

Another party i was very late arriving at was 'Kin'.

Two excellent series,gutted there won't be a third.

New Tulsa King is out and the 2nd series of Landman is out next month

Also, terminal list is very good as well.

 

I live in ireland and couldnt get into 'Kin' at all when it was on tv here, and it wasnt overly popular. love/hate is another irish gang drama if you are interested and much better imo. Aiden Gillen is in both.

The Comic Strip presents…..

These are all currently on 4 On Demand, haven’t seen ‘Mr Jolly lives next door’ since the eighties, classic Rik and Ade with Peter Cook and Nicholas Parsons

Also watched both the Bad News and The Yob, great viewing, fill your boots!

[Swiss.]

Can't wait to watch the ;latest The Terminal List DW tonight especially after the end of last week's episode. Didn't see that coming.



 

Finished the series yesterday. Very, very good.

If you've seen neither series, I would still suggest watching Dark Wolf first despite being the 'newer' series.

Indeed sound advice. I'm hoping what happened and suspect what happend at the end of season 1 didn't happen. Cryptic I know but no spoilers. Hence we have a season 3.

The House of Guinness. What can I say.

Pretty shite. Peaky Blinder's it ain't. 

[collyrob]

Watched the latest episode of slow horses just there. Started off very exciting. But just got so utterly woke throughout 

[Swiss.]

Stared Black Rabbit, was enjoyable for a couple of episodes, till it fell down the hole, that all Whiteman are fucking sleazes, rapists, losers, druggies, women beaters and murderers

All gays, blacks, women and lesbians are amazing. 

Fuck off. 

I was going to start that as well but seems you have put me off. 

Alien Earth - after starting so well as become an absolute bore fest. I won't pursue it. 

The Terminal List DW- Probably the best thing on at the moment. 

Disclaimer - Well a great cast and great acting. Leila George...grrrrr.and a nice twist ending. There's a lot of faults in the story but Kevin Kline  and Cate Blanchette's acting is suberb. Also created by Alfonso Cuarón. I recommend you watch.

Only Murders - Light hearted fun as usual.
