Totally agree Ryan!
Foyle’s War made it’s regular repeat showing last night and I looked more closely at Anthony Horowitz clever writing. His themes of “the law doesn’t apply to the rich and influential” and “my work is too important for me to be arrested” were apparent. The former still applies to our war on the corona-virus.
I’m not sure why the Salisbury show was a dramatization-seemed odd when it’s such a recent and very well covered event-a dramatized doco would have been more appropriate to the material. As for the Ghost thing, I kept expecting a big black muscle car to roar up and the Brothers to jump out to the rescue.
Best Ep of Masked Singer yet! Performances were great including the first performance with 4 of them singing together
Recorded all 3 reality shows last night and was able to watch all of them in under 3 hours by skipping ads!
Recording Masked Singer meant we could pause on the clues and really study them in detail.
Enjoying the Block so far and liking some of the changes – giving them weekly budget and very detailed plans including drawing of finished look. Contestants seem more likeable but have to wait and see!
While I admire what is trying to be done, I won’t be back tonight for ‘Hungry Ghosts’.
Just not my thing.
I wonder if Masked Singer’s numbers were down due to all commercial networks reporting over the weekend that the show had been shutdown due to Covid outbreak. Some people not realising it is pre recorded.
Likely? I don’t think they actually posted an “show’s still on tonight” article until day of…
I knew it was Sophie Monk as soon as she started singing last night. And I’m almost certain the Lizard is Eddie Perfect, going by the voice alone
Take it to the bank. I’ve worked with Eddie, top guy, that’s his voice. Clues also fit.
I thought you have a “no spoilers until aired” policy?
Not a spoiler as it isn’t confirmed. Educated guess, just like the panel.
Funny how certain viewers only watch the first and final episode of a reality series but not on a regular basis
Which show? Farmer? It has rated well all season. Others are not at finale yet,
Yeah, seven have done well with rebooting shows
Probably because certain viewers watch one of the numerous weekday or weekend reruns, or on a catchup, but want to see the final as it’s first broadcast. Happens in our house. Never watch Farmer in primetime except for the final.
I can read a re-cap on multiple news platforms and get the all the info I need on the week’s fake drama. I spend the time watching some quality programming from everywhere else
