Iā€™m just about to start this.

the Handmaidā€™s Tale (C4) seems quite good albeit bleak.

Is it Mike Penceā€™s vision of how America should be once the Donald implodes?

Itā€™s certainly eerily plausible. All they need is a pussy grab as being the standard way that men greet women and theyā€™d have America, 2020.

America is a strange place with, on the one hand their peculiarly old fashioned puritanism, while on the other the mass consumption/production of porn and the endless stream of lewdness that keeps Daily Mail website visitors clicking away on their panel of shame down the right hand side. Thereā€™d need to be some kind of major cultural earthquake involving severe internet censorship to make puritanism the norm there.

I know we mercilessly rip the piss out of Mumford, but it was a emotional opening to the show.

Playing the daft punk song made him almost bearable!

Next episode is on now :+1:

Well worth watching

Iā€™m gong to say itā€¦

The Manchester gig may have been musically debatable, and I think Arianna probably thinks she is a Princessā€¦

But if you werenā€™t moved by that you donā€™t have a soul.

The faces on the kids were what it was all about.

You can whistle till the cows come home, but the latest rumour here is that a near neighbour (Iā€™m unable to reveal their identity for fear of looters) has a phonograph on order!

Beat that on the mainland :astonished:
