Watched the first two episodes of new American plane mystery drama 'Manifest'. Got the whole first season from a torrent, but still unsure if I like it as yet. Anyone else seen more & can suggest if it's worth investing my time in the rest of the season?
Fake or Fortune BBC1 9pm. Fiona Bruce and art expert Phillip Mould try to discover if someone's painting is either a fake or worth a small fortune by a noted artist. Last night they'd were investigating the possibility of a painting that was purportedly painted by a woman artist Mary Cosway might be another painting by the celebrated artist Sir Thomas Lawrence(which Mould had a hunch it was in the first place) If it was a Cosway painting it was worth around £8,000 or so BUT if it turned out to be a Thomas Lawrence painting then it could worth upwards of £300,000! It was indeed, after painstaking research and scientific analysis, a Thomas Lawrence painting of a young man called Peniston Lamb. Fascinating stuff and detective work of the highest order.
Krypton Ep 8 “Mercy” Season 2
Zod is a nasty piece of work.
Legion Ep 3 “Chapter 22” Season 3 Final Season
This Ep tells the story of David’s family history and his father Professor.........
Gotham (E4) Season 5 Episode 1 once again this series has twists and turns aplenty and another major character Tabitha Galivan is killed off, shame I really liked her. There are shades of the origin of Batman beginning to emerge, like Gordon on the roof shining a spotlight which would eventually become the Bat signal. Elsewhere Valeska(the Genesis of the Joker perhaps) has shot Selina Kyle and she is in hospital with young Bruce Wayne brooding over her. Major villains return like the Penguin(excellently played by Robin Lord Taylor) and the Riddler who appears to be losing his mind. Should be a really lively series.
Elementary Ep 2 “Gunshot” Season 7 Final Season.
Who Do You Think You Are? - Jack & Michael Whitehall
A grim revelation on one branch, and even grimmer on the other, though back-handed humour from the rare idea that their ancestor was "a massive scumbag". The odd lighter moment, such as the grocer/policeman in attendance, though. It showed how the usual one-person format lacks this sort of inter-play in the searches.
Gotham Ep 11 “They Did What?” Season 5 Final Season
Talk about a action packed Ep.
Gotham episodes 4&5 and we find out who blew up the Haven. It's complicated but then all the pieces fall slowly into place. One of the villains you think is dead isn't which I suppose you could have guessed anyway and one character has changed a lot. There are some good set pieces and the main leads are always good, Erin Richards as Barbara, for all her hated of Jim, still loves him and yes they do kiss. Not sure what the old woman in the hotel was all about or the creepy kid, but there are some light hearted touches but mostly it's still violent and gripping in equal part.
How to be Ex-Prime Minister
BBC4 repeated this a few weeks ago, one of Michael Cockerell's many rehashes of material, in this case from 2007 when Blair left.
