We watched I Swear the other night, that was a very good watch. Hilarious in parts, quite moving in others.
The Capture Holliday Grainger returns as DI Rachel Carey in Series 3 of the hit BBC surveillance thriller The Capture, which premiered in March 2026. The new series follows Carey, now Acting Commander of Counter Terrorism, fighting against advanced AI-manipulated deepfakes, following a four-year gap since the last series.
Project Hail Mary. I'm not normally a Sci-Fi fan, nor do I enjoy films that jump between present & past time; this one is both of those & I absolutely loved it, as did Mrs GG who doesn't share my concerns about Sci-Fi & quantum leaps. Highly recommended.
I see us peasant Virgin Media customers are finally getting access to HBO Max from Friday “at no additional charge”. #blessed
26th is the big streaming switch, all the TNT sports channels are moving from Discovery+ to HBO Max. Andy
Be interested to see if we get a HBO Max app for the streaming service because (as Virgin media customers) we didn't for Discovery+.
Currently watching the excellent French cop show from a few years back entitled: Braquo. It ran for four seasons & one of the squad members rides a Ducati. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1429534/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
You Tube; Folk like Diego Poncelet state boarders going down the Austrian and Swiss Alps roads, i did four or five now pretty much the same stuff but they're very brave.!
I'm going through 'Cheers' again. Forgiving the rare not-so-good episode lapsing into the sentimentalism American-anything is prone to, excusable considering eleven seasons of consistent quality generally, pretty much since seeing it first time round I've thought it probably the best comedy series ever. I'm a 3rd of the way through season two at the moment. Last night I suddenly saw Coach as an American reimagining of Major Gowan, ie Ballard Berkeley in Fawlty Towers, at which point I remembered reading Fawlty Towers was a major inspiration for Cheers. I believe originally they were going to set it in a hotel. Two episodes back was the first I saw written by David Angell, who, along with his wife, were on American Airlines Flight 11, that began 9/11, flying into the North Tower of the WTC. More palpably bizarre is - in the not so much things you can't unsee category as the things you can't unknow - is the constant low-level awareness that John Ratzenberger (Cliff Claven) is the kind of Republican that thinks helping the underprivileged is socialism - with, to come: Kelsey Grammar another rank American-style right winger; Kirsty Ally a dead Scientologist; and Woody Harrelson, as I understand it, a Trump-supporting conspiracy theorist. Does kind of puncture the suspension of disbelief a shade.
