Catch it in iPlayer, “Tish”, a film about a female documentary photographer from the North East. Some stunning images.

Tish  and yes stunning images and their importance

It is bloody good.

Some really superb performances. Really can't fault the casting.

[Auntie Helen]

Just finished Blue Lights - really really good.

For the less die-hard fans among us, the Giro d’Italia highlights are on DMax at 7pm starting next Saturday.

Next Monday 15th, BBC 1 10pm, series 2 of Blue Lights.

We’ve just been catching up with the first series. Enjoyed it. Ending was a bit predictable though, and it teeters on the edge of cheesiness in places. A lot of Line of Duty influences. Richard Dormer is great.

Will watch the second series.

I wanted to like Blue Lights, but found it rather soapy considering how seriously it appears to take itself. That and a little too much police propagandising.

[citoyen]

Soapy is a good word for it!

We recorded, with no great expectation, “Coastguard” on Ch 5. It was truly excellent with no over-dramatic voiceover, in fact no voiceover at all

Baby Reindeer, on Netflix.

Ideal for easy viewing when you don't want anything too taxing.

Having finished Blue Lights, Traces and Trapped, we are in need of something new.

Tried 'The Gentlemen'. Good lord, what a load of teenage wank. Lasted less than one episode.

[rafletcher]

We're one episode into After the Flood. Seems promising.

[citoyen]

Baby Reindeer, on Netflix.

Ideal for easy viewing when you don't want anything too taxing.

I really didn’t like it. Well made, well written, well acted. Just too grim.

Back to Taskmaster for me - that’s about as edgy as I can manage at the moment.

I really didn’t like it. Well made, well written, well acted. Just too grim.

Definitely grim, but I thought it was excellent. The final two seconds of the series was so good.

Tried 'The Gentlemen'. Good lord, what a load of teenage wank. Lasted less than one episode.

Yes, definitely teenage wank, and very much milking the original film version to death, but nevertheless, despite the clichéd characters and dubious plot lines, I quite enjoyed it as easy visual chewing gum. I wouldn't actually recommend it though.
