3 into the new series - Apart from Butchers ridiculous Dick Van Dyke accent (Seems to be getting worse) it’s demented fun.

Very silly and likely to offend for being inauthentic and Pistols by panto. Slated by the press in reviews. Still made it through the first two episodes :wink:

Hard to recommend except for curiosity value. If you’re a serious minded Pistols fan, or ā€˜if you were there man’ then don’t make yourself angry by trying to watch it.

Pet Shop Boys: It Couldn’t Happen Here.

Not Ben Wheatley’s (director) best effort, I must say. A good performance from Reece Shearsmith saves it.

Watching the shite football. But really glad that I’m just turning over to the live baseball

Because @pbg mentioned it I had to have a look at The Spider’s Web. (Youtube & Netflix)

80 minutes explaining how ā€˜Post Empire’ Britain became the biggest & most influential operator/administrator of offshore tax havens. Very informative particularly.with regards to the country within a country that is the City of London.

Useful too in understanding what my local MP gets up to during the 99% of the time when he’s nowhere near his constituency.

It’s all too easy to see how the world is f*cked (particularly developing countries)until this corrupt & naked thievery is brought to an end.

He’s consistently good. Just working through the recent series of Inside No9.

Somehow I’d never watched all of it til this week.
Probably the best docu/film on them.

Finest Hours

A great film about a phenomenal rescue at sea.

Spiritual successor to The Wire.

Indycar - Road America

Excellent. Shocking, fucked. Nice to see several of the Wire actors united too.
Jon Bernthal manages a full power meat hamper of Murcan woohaaa! An Arrogant, deluded, greedy, Narcissist.
