Programmes To Watch

[DeborahJane]

Thanks for the tip alp. Will do.

@DeborahJane yes you've got the name right, she's very good. Think there doing another series. Watched the launch show of SCD. They payed tribute to SR. Bruce. Tess Daly got very emotional when she was talking about him.

I'm watching Blood and gold: The making of Spain with Simon Sebag Montiofore .. Lovely stuff .. but I dozed off from time to time and had to drag the progress bar again and again to hear what was missed.

 

[DeborahJane]

Not up to speed I'm afraid Logan.Please tell what SCD stands for and who SR. Bruce is ? I'm wracking my brain but the penny isn't dropping. Don't know Tess Daley either

@DeborahJane it's Strictly Come Dancing and Bruce Forsyth

 

[alp]

Bruce Forsyth was the presenter and he died recently. He was well-known for this waspish put downs and sense of humour. Quite a few people didn't like him. Tess Daly used to be his sidekick presenter - a statuesque but disingenuous woman. She is now presenting the programme with Claudia Winkleman who is the daughter to the ex chief editor of Daily Express Eve Pollard. Claudia Winkleman gets paid £500,000 a year by the BBC.

Strictly Come Dancing is a dance show with lovely dresses and a lot of lighting gimmicks .. I used to like it, but not so much now. Very formulaic and repetitive .. They have competitors whose experiences range from some having to dance schools or lessons to novice..

Thanks alp. I googled Bruce and I have seen him in the past. We had an Australian Ballroom dancing show a few years ago. The compere did so with a rye smile and it made it all quite entertaining. I saw the first series of Dr Foster and enjoyed it. Will keep an eye open for its return.

If you like lovely and funky dresses, you'd love the show. There are quite a few eye candies on the show - one very androgynous Pritchard, but mainly the clothes and the daring dance routines can be very entertaining.

Watched the 1st episode of 2nd series of Dr Foster. It's still good. Can't wait for the next episode.

@Logan Did you feel like crying at the end? I did - it's like the very thing you cherish has turned his back on you.. And the new colleague has some very waspish stinging put-downers.. Nasty and vile ..

 

[Logan]

@alp yes i could have. She thought that she had friends, but they stabbed her in the back.

 

[alp]

Yes, that Roz was nasty. She said she wouldn't go to the party. No, she went .. Not nice.

Been watching Episode 1 of Blood and gold: The making of Simon Sebag Montifiore .. Such a fantastic programme.. I tried not to fall asleep, but there was so much to take in .. not to mention the magnificent architecture on a grand scale. After that, I passed out for 5 minutes. My son called mum and said that I didn't breathe for a few minutes.. It's that engrossing.
