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.
The War Machine. Alan Ritchson, Esai Morales & Dennis Quaid in an utterly ridiculous war story about a Ranger Selection Course interrupted by an invasion of alien mechanised predators. Yes, it is as daft as it sounds, however the worst of it was being blamed by Mrs GG for making us watch it when it was her bloody suggestion
