Aye, it's very good. There's an American version starring Mark Strong too.

Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing Christmas special, superb again , even if was without Ted
Netflix have the new Knives Out movie, Glass Onion. If you enjoyed the first one you’ll love this, just great fun storytelling and quality filmmaking.
Traitors is the most invested I've been in a TV show in years
2 Christmas Specials worth a watch - Two Doors Down and Motherland (Both BBC). Won't spoil it but both eps have a one liner that made me lol. Elaine C Smith is a fab actress.
There's a Robbie Coltrane tribute on BBC4 tonight, then the first two episodes of Tutti Frutti with the rest of the series to follow over the next couple of nights
Just finished Litvinenko on ITVX, well worth a look.
I stumbled across Life and Death in the Warehouse on iplayer. It was originally on BBC3 sometime earlier in the year.
Nominally fictional account of a few individuals working in a warehouse but it's based on testimony from thousands of people and a lot of the terminology used and in house productions shown is barely disguised Amazon.
Really quite harrowing and shows the true price of our 'must have it next day' consumer expectations.
The Royal institute Christmas lectures. Professor Dame Sue Black on forensics
Finished season 3 of Jack Ryan, continues to be a decent watch.
Mayflies!!!
A dozen BAFTAs. Or I'll eat my hat.
Read the book first though.
Without Sin, psychological thriller starring Vicky McClure, decent watch so far
Wow. It’s amazing.
My only gripe is from my experience I’m sceptical that teenage Scots lads would be giving each other fraternal hugs as often as the Compston and Curran characters do back in the mid to late 1980s. Maybe it was different in Ayrshire but if I’d done that to my best pals back then you’d be accused of being a big puff:greengrin
For a modern audience though it’s probably needed to demonstrate the fraternity between the two characters. So not really a gripe.
Was interested in Kaleidoscope on Netflix - there are 8 episodes and the premise is that you can watch them in any order. Netflix will randomise the order for each viewer. Each episode is named a colour and the story revolves around a vault heist.
Watched 4 episodes now and aside from the gimmick format, it’s pretty average stuff. Will stick with it but it’s probably not something that merits the hype
Early Doors is being shown from the start tonight on BBC4 22:55
I’m watching it with the mrs just now, I’m quite enjoying it, it’s very oceans 11 in that a lot of things are so far going very right for the criminals but other than that it’s quite good, I was completely oblivious to the gimmick until I started watching and it explained what was going on as well, my expectation was just another show
Anyone watched the Rig yet ?
