Top Gear(recorded Monday) That was insane, poor Andrew Flintoff sat in a small car attached to a bungee rope and dropped straight down just to try and beat the Atom for speed. He is fearless that man and the way the car turned upside down I feared for him, but credit to him he had the balls to do it and survived. I bet Clarkson & May wouldn't have done that-Richard possibly!
John Wayne - America at all Costs
He missed WW2, but over-compensated by winning it single-handedly in the movies over & over again. Until the 60s and finding he was the bad guy after all.
Good Omens (recorded)Wednesdays BBC2 9pm. Just watched Episode 1. Michael Sheen and David Tennant played an Angel and a Demon respectively(quite possibly the campest I've ever seen them) determined to work together to avoid Armageddon. It was mad, funny and clever which you would expect from both the late Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Rather poignant to hear the late Nicholas Parsons as Dagon - perhaps a fitting tribute. Complicated story which begins to make sense later. Will definitely watch eps 2 & 3 recorded as well. If you've watched this first one did anyone else think that Francis McDormand as God(novel idea God being a woman) sounded more like the Book from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
Arrow Ep 10 “Fadeout” Season 8 Series Finale
The Finale went off with a bang from start to finish. Star studded and full of cameos shocking ones too and the Ep very emotional as for Diggle......even shed a tear gonna miss the show, will do a non-spoiler review goodbye Arrow, a perfect fitting ending and thank you Crisis On Infinite Earths.
(03-01-2020 02:33 )GMach1 Wrote: [ -> ]BBC1 tonight. Imagine...Lenny Henry, Young, gifted and black. This was looking back at his early life when his mother Winnie came from Jamaica and brought up him and his siblings in Dudley, West Midlands then his attempt to find himself with comedy which led to a big break on New Faces, amazingly the resident comedian in The Black and White Minstrel Show, then The Fosters, TISWAS, Three of a Kind and The Lenny Henry Show(with characters like Deakus and Delbert Wilkins) to Comic Relief-the early years and stand up. It tells of how he battled against racism and stereotypes.
I enjoyed this in the main, and I will certainly look forward to his book. It was odd that they go "oh his first break was spending years in the B&W Minstrels" when the Fosters and Tiswas must have been on simultaneously. But they did omit some of his other proper acting jobs in order to get to Othello too.
Outlander S3, eps 1&2.
Love this show. It's all the stuff I like to watch rolled into one. Historical action, supernatural fantasy, and time travel.
Claire desperately needs to get back to 1752 though. Her 1950's hairstyle is awful
The Alex Salmond Show
Lembit Opik is still sure Brexit will be great, but also that it will take far longer than 11 months to sort out a trade deal.
