Then again, there are plenty on here that have trouble reading just for themselves. Especially if it is badly written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we get loads each programme but some weeks we do really well, MrsS is good a spotting the connections in the wall. Good show mind.

faraway saint Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Watching "The Mayfair Hotel Megabuiild" about an astounding building project at Claridges in London. The ins and outs of these hotels are fairly interesting but the engineering in the build has been out of this world. Obviously costs a bomb but it's something special, especially the penthouse suite, costing £100k a NIGHT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ach, I was disappointed, seemed right up my street but just didn't click for me and, as I've said before, if I don't "buy into" the characters I'm almost certainly not going to watch.

Did you really buy into the characters in those 1970s films where the moustachioed guy comes to fix the hot housewife's washing machine/plumbing/whatever?

faraway saint Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Just started watching "Hell on Wheels", fancied a decent western TV series. So far, almost through the 1st episode, so good. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1699748/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slarti Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 I'm hooked, strong characters, decent story and the goodies looking to take vengeance on the baddies. Watched it at the time. IIRC there were a few episodes in later series that were a bit silly/ridiculous but, on the whole, it was good. I watched it all, so it couldn't have been that bad. Stick with it.

Stick with it. I'm hoping to talk Mrs Faraway to start the "1883" and "1923" series before Yellowstone as it looks decent. This, Hell on Wheels, will do me in the meantime. As usual I struggle to find the time to watch these things to their conclusion. Maybe that should have been my new years resolution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBIONSAINT Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Had the misfortune of watching about 5 minutes of “that’s my Jam” on bbc one last night. I never really watch Saturday evening guff but this took the biscuit. Absolute drivel, no wonder people are giving up paying the beeb licence fee.
