Can’t believe News Breakfast is constantly smashing Today. I must confess the only Channels I have on early is either 20 or 24.
Last nights Double ep was just catching up. The next ep, ep 5, airs in the UK is this Sat night or sun morning our time. So at least we are up to date.
in response to @nik c about BGT
If there are limited BGT episodes, I am not sure why they are rushing through or is it just a filler until the launch of Farmer wants a wife? And are they waiting for Doctor Doctor to finish on their competitors network? or another reason?
I was told they are reflecting the UK rollout. I think in a different climate another decision may have prevailed.
I really want to support our drama practitioners, but when something as idiotic and insulting as The Secrets She Keeps is hailed as ‘riveting’ etc. etc. I feel nothing but dismay. It’s very lazy, simplistic and goes for shock value over good quality. And some of the performances are just awful.
Well yesterday I noticed that Line of Duty season 5 is now available on Stan. That first episode was amazing and we binge watched the first 3 episodes last night. Compelling tv drama at its very best.
