Marvel: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. E4 Helpfully it reminded me how the last series finished with Fitz in cryogenic status with the mysterious Enoch and the Shield members holed up in a lighthouse. As usual the first episode tries to make sense of the last series and then chucks in a 'hand grenade'! We know that Coulson and May were last seen hand in hand on a beach-possibly Tahiti again and we found out he was dying. Next thing we know he has somehow re-appeared, as a possible clone called Sarge leading a band of renegades stealing various things for whatever deed they are planning, which appears to be destruction of Earth(oh, that old thing again!) Equally strange Mac and Yo-yo appear to be apart and she has an admirer-blimey, it took long enough for those two to get together in the first place. Anyway Fitz finds himself on a spaceship and has to bluff his way in order to survive. In the end he and others fly off elsewhere and seconds later a distraught Jemma materialises in another space craft with the infamous Quake(Daisy) trying to find him - last series it was him tying to find her! Still as good as it has been and worth a watch when it is repeated. Onward to episode 3 & 4(I am trying to watch 2 a night)
Other thing I saw on SKY+ were reruns on ITV4 of Shelley. This was a comedy series in the 1980's(that's dating me) starring Hwyel Bennett as a lovable layabout James Shelley and his rantings about the system that he tried to buck each time-Thatcher's Britain really was pretty bleak back then and it follows his attempts to stay out of work and keep on the dole. Later series sees him married with a kid but then she walks out on him for not having a job to pay their vast number of bills.
