I feel soothed.

It's just quality and I have no interest in fishing but it's lovely watching them chew the fat

Chibnall bowing out of showrunning doctor who, wonder who they will wheel out next for the thankless task of running the show.

Shame to see Whittaker go though, she could have shone with some decent material, I can see why she'd wanna get off though.

[MrZigster]

Really enjoying Watch The Sound With Mark Ronson.

[John the Moth]

Got to see Time this weekend. Excellent, very, very excellent. Grim as eff though.

Had to translate for Mrs Moth though, she’s just got to grips with Black Country... Scouse melted her brain 🤣

Have you heard of a show called ‘The Wire’?

I think it’s a bit old, but someone told me it was good, gonna start it now.

[guypjfreak]

The leftovers.. 

The plot 

People just disappear... Fucking strange to start off with but on 3 series now

Just binged the first season. I’m pretty sure the general consensus is it stays up to that level and finishes perfectly (no spoilers, please!). Excited to watch the other two.

Ghosts was great the other night. Think the whole third series is up on iPlayer but tempted to keep it as a Monday evening treat for the next five weeks.

I'm planning on binging Ghosts at the weekend. I've not really been watching any tv other than Only Connect once a week and I only watch that to remind myself how much stuff I don't know 😄

I'm entirely put off by The Leftovers film, the worst thing I've ever sat through in my life. Does the series differ greatly. This question assumes you've seen the movie, if not, how would you know? 😄

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's my next big 'box set' - the final run of episodes are meant to be amazing.

Film? There is no film, only the TV series which is absolutely terrific.

Sorry, The Left Behind film. Same premise isn't it?

Oh.... that pile of dog poop 🤣

Nah different premise, the two things don’t share the same source material and aren’t remotely alike. The TV show has quality acting, interesting characters, intelligent script, intriguing sense of mystery, effective shocks, emotional heft...

The unrelated movie has... erm... Nic Cage eating scenery.

Trailer this evening on BBC 2 saying new series is coming soon - excellent news!

I just heard. I had no idea he was ill, genuinely shocked. One of my fave tv comedians. Never saw one of his stand up shows.

Only saw him live once but he was hilarious. Very sad news.

[Hugh Jass]

A very funny man.

RIP

[Ryan1984]

It’s definitely worth watching - or rewatching 15 Storeys High - now. Brilliant series from Sean. RIP.

[FloorFiller]

Aye that’s absolutely shite news that. In the sea of mediocrity that fills most panel shows, he always delivered on the big laughs. Pretty much the only reason I ever bothered sticking with any of that stuff. RIP.

[Bisque]

A random Indian family asked me to join them in their booth in Brighton one evening to watch Sean Lock with them whilst I waited for a gig I didn’t realise started at 11pm. I’m glad I did as it was brilliant.

Anyway, just rewatched Community & Park & Recreation (skipped the first season) on NetFlix.

[fred quimby]

Loved Sean Lock. proper belly laughs watching him
