Did anybody watch Quiz on ITV about the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire cheat? It's surprisingly very good and tense. I say surprisingly as I thought it was going to be a humdrum ITV drama, but it's actually very well done. Michael Sheen is superb as Chris Tarrant, and while I knew a little bit about the subject there's a lot more I didn't know. Only 3 episodes with the last one aired this past Wednesday. I definitely recommend it.
Manifest S2 on Sky now
But did he cheat? ��Quote:

Gave up on S1. Looked a great idea but found it to be absolutely chronic. Amazed it got another season.Quote:

Sadly I’m planning to binge watch when it’s finished :greengrinQuote:

I’m 5 episodes in to Caliphate and it’s tense, utterly gripping and proper edge of the seat TV.
A Swedish drama that switches back and forward from Syria to Sweden with the story centred around a planned IS attack on Sweden, the radicalisation of young swedes and the plight of a Swedish national married to an IS member and living in Syria.
Surprised it’s not attracting a lot more attention right now.
Hadn't heard of that. Have seen multiple documentaries about people who have been later convicted due to DNA advances but will be interesting to hear some stories of it being the reverse.Quote:

Definitely worth a watch if you have a spare hour!
Years ago I remember watching a report on a music student who was writing his thesis on the music of Abba.Quote:

Watched it on BBC4 but it’s on the Iplayer.

Some trashy TV that's taking my mind off of things is Bondi Rescue - following the lifeguards on Bondi Beach. Most episodes are on YouTube and it's terrible TV but mindless and actually quite good fun and occasionally interesting.
Bosch is back on prime. Well worth a look, not too heavy good binging. Not much else to do for the next day or so
Watched season 1 & 2, fantastic telly!Quote:

Highlight was Charlie Watts playing air drums. Even better, he got some noise out of them.Quote:
