I have come across a couple of programmes that have provided me with ideas of new places to visit, one from a TV series and the other from a BBC Radio 4 Podcast. The latter one will, I think, be of particular interest to Moulesy, TW and tda. Robson Green's Weekend Escapes on BBC…
Wonderful news that Joni is performing again, if only for a very limited occasion. I don't suppose we will ever hear that beautiful soaring voice or those "weird" piano/guitar chords again, but her albums bear enduring witness to one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. For those who don't know Jon I, search out…
Did anyone else watch the BGT final? It says a lot about the British public when the vote favoured such an act lacking so little talent. I feel very sorry for most of the other finalist, especially the two youngsters who came second and third who had so much more talent. Either of them deserved so much more to win. peedee
Especially for ABM but this album should also appeal to other rail enthusiasts.... The Railway by Hamish Napier https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=hamish+napier+the+railway+
Inside our Autistic Minds What a fabulous insight into the lives of autistic people and the challenges they face. As a parent of a child on the spectrum I can only hope that those watching this series will have their understanding of this condition enhanced and their acceptance of autistic people across the spectrum within…
Someone has surely got to mention the final series on Happy Valley? The final series ended on Sunday night with a slightly extended final episode. I shall try and be careful what I say just in case some are waiting to watch. It certainly ended in a way not many would have predicted. Sarah Lancashire, as Happy Valley's…
I have just finished watching this on catchup, and I really enjoyed it. I’m not usually a great fan of Helena Bonham Carter but she was so good in this. Probably better if like me you saw some episodes of Crossroads back in the day. Throughout it I was actually seeing Noele Gordon, and could easily see who the other cast…
Having endured the ponderous dialogue of the first two episodes, I've decided that it is definitely slower than drying paint. The topography isn't likely to feature in the Aussie Tourist Board catalogue either. As for continuity, I'm puzzled as to how a couple of the cars in one of the shots were gleaming with a pristine…
New series of this fabulous programme starts tonight. For many of us who can no longer spend hours in the countryside visiting our wonderful wild places this must be a godsend. The usual gang of excellently knowledgeable presenters will be on show once again. Even we who are still able and willing to get out and about the…
As if yet another prime time weekend show fronted by Ant & Dic wasn't bad enough, I understand the highlight of ITV's weekend will be an interview with a rather whingey, highly privileged, publicity shy ginger haired guy? A guy who was so publicity averse that he emigrated with his family to keep them out of the public eye…
