For anyone who is a fan of the Jack Reacher books we binged watched the new tv series yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's on Amazon prime and the main actor, Alan Ritchson, is a much better fit all round for Reacher than Tom Cruise. There are some clips on youtube as well.
For those of you that enjoy foreign language drama there is a new series called The Promise on BBC4 on Saturday evenings. Its made by the same people that created Spiral the gritty French police series set in Paris. The Promise is quite different as its set in the Landes Region of France. The story is about child kidnap…
Just finished watching The Resonder on iPlayer. I wasn’t sure about it after episode 1, but having stuck with it reckon it’s probably the best drama I’ve seen in a good while. Not for everyone, particularly the strong language, drugs and mental health issues. Martin Freeman is absolutely superb and probably one of our best…

Once again the usual…

Having succumbed to Covid and having to isolate over Christmas I’ve revisited the service. The magazines are now available via the Press Reader app and are completely free from subscription fees. I’ve been…
Did anyone else watch ITV's biopic of Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams over the last 4 nights? Of course, the story of the Hillsborough tragedy is well known by now as is the perseverance of the campaigners and the injustices they suffered over the years. I thought a difficult topic was handled very sensitively and…
We have just finished watching The Thames at Night with (Sir) Tony Robinson on Channel 5. https://www.channel5.com/show/the-thames-at-night-with-tony-robinson/season-1 Really interesting series with some lovely photography. London from the River Thames is magnificent, even more so at night. David
Tune in to the latest Top Gear episode on Sunday (21st November at 8pm) where Freddie Flintoff, Paddy McGuiness and Chris Harris go touring in Northumberland and visit our Berwick Seaview Caravan and Motorhome Club campsite.
