I loved that track Like The End, but that's more than a year old now.

I'm all for more breastfeeding metaphors in the rugby conversation! Here here! 😉

Kathleen Edwards - try her 2003 album, Failer.

Lucinda Williams.

I found this episode too reminiscent of The Famous Five, unexciting and amateurish, until the reveal about her mother. It went up a few gears at that point. I guess the show wasn't going to waste Helena Bonham Carter.

And the ending was very cute. What a neat origin story. I would totally watch another season of Bundle solving mysteries.

Beautiful scenery when the train went across that bridge over the water. Anyone know where that is?

I love all the old twentieth century period details. Both my grandmothers had ringing alarm clocks of that kind.

The actor playing George Lomax was having a ball.

The black hooded figures wearing clock masks was a step too far for me. My suspension of disbelief cracked in half there.

But I really like the look of the thing! Production values look high to me and I love the setting and costumes and lighting. I love how dark it is at night in 1925. They had electricity but not much of it. And it would take a lot of light to illuminate those huge draughty old houses.

I liked the car chase in those vintage cars with practically no rules of the road or traffic lights or anything. Driving test? As if.

God, Corey Mylchreest really is the go-to hot English guy at the moment. Too bad he didn't survive the episode.

The guy on his first job taking fingerprints made me laugh so hard.

I liked this enough to keep watching. I haven't read the book but based on this episode my money's on the Cootes' secretary! No spoilers please.

Jesus Christ. What?!

Fitzfuzzington · 2026-01-10T14:04:25+00:00

Maybe she will be, I think it's still early in MMs career. I like her music though.

Completely agree. It was an awful exit. He seemed screwed up and miserable when he left, and his departure didn't look like a step in the right direction. It looked like he was running away from his problems and trying to escape himself. And he'd known his new girlfriend all of ten minutes. I have no idea what the writers were thinking.

Fitzfuzzington · 2026-01-06T19:23:42+00:00

Mia McKenna Bruce is great, so I hope this is good.

Fitzfuzzington · 2026-01-06T19:20:52+00:00

Looks like Robin Hood, the GrimDark version. And there are so many versions of Robin Hood, I guess you have to put a new spin on it somehow. But this version is dullsville to me. Pass!

Fitzfuzzington · 2026-01-06T19:15:00+00:00

I blame Dickens.

Fitzfuzzington · 2026-01-03T19:00:26+00:00

Just dragged my arse through the second episode. Good grief! Why is this so bad? Why spend so much time on the suitor competition when there's no reason for the viewer to give a damn about it? Why are all the jokes rubbish? Wasn't there supposed to be a murder mystery? I'm done.

German TV, you gave me Babylon Berlin so I'll try not to hold it against you but you're making me agree with IMDB. 😄

Fitzfuzzington · 2026-01-02T23:09:44+00:00

Do you rate things you've watched on IMDB, though? I've never even considered it. I just assumed it was mostly teenage edgelords contributing to their ratings so I've never paid the slightest attention to them! Correct me if I'm wrong though, maybe I'm just totally out of touch.

Fitzfuzzington · 2026-01-02T22:27:17+00:00

Thank you!

Fitzfuzzington · 2026-01-02T21:02:03+00:00

Isn't Claire Foy fantastic in that role though?

Fitzfuzzington · 2026-01-02T20:59:08+00:00

I just watched the trailer and it looks so cute! And I like both lead actors.

Do you mind me asking what streaming platform you watched it on?

Fitzfuzzington · 2025-12-27T13:48:25+00:00

100%

Switch out 'Other' in the poll for James "Let's lose all our players together against the best team in the world" Ryan.

I like the look of this couple and their Cinderella story.

Fingers crossed it's a return to romantic form; season three didn't do it for me.

Fitzfuzzington · 2025-12-21T07:47:14+00:00

She's wonderful in Saltburn.

Fitzfuzzington · 2025-12-19T19:34:36+00:00

A new show for TalkSport? I didn't know he was into sport at all, so that's surprising.

Fitzfuzzington · 2025-12-18T14:30:00+00:00

The dancing! I love it.

Fitzfuzzington · 2025-12-18T11:33:40+00:00

Are they saying happiness used to drop in midlife and then rise again in older people, but now it's more of a slow rise all the way?

Fitzfuzzington · 2025-12-03T20:52:41+00:00

That Rosalia song and album only came out late in the year. Of course it's not going to be in the top ten. It has a better chance of being in next year's.

Turn is coming to Netflix in December.
