    Tomorrow night sees the new series of Big bang theory on E4 with the lovely Kaley Cucao.
    I hardly watch any tele at all but for some reason never miss Holby (how sad am I)?

    Never seen GoT, but read books of a similar genre.

    tv shows on Prime. The best seen for years is a French one called The Bureau. Its fooking ace and deffo authentic. Season 1 & 2. Again on Prime is season 1 & 2 of Bosch a US hardnoaw detective.

    A couple of of awesome films are Hamilton (2 Films) Swedish mix of Bourne and Bond with subtitles which will mean hardly anyone on here will watch it except for those watching Leeds streams in Croatian

    Is that the one where Al Jolson cancelled a booking in Berlin in 1938 due to a conflict of agreement when Hitler wanted to hang him and Eichman wanted to gas him ?

    The Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer books by Michael Connelly are excellent.
    If you ever get chance to read the Shardlake novels by cj sansom take it. They would make great films or tele.

    Film wise - Watched Bridge Of Spies yesterday, felt it was a bit long winded.

    The sopranos and band of brothers are my all time favourites.
    Never managed to watch The Wire past episode 1 despite having the box set. Didnt get into it at all.

    Have the sweeney series box set and can watch them over and over again.

    The Wire does take a lot of concentration and patience, its not an all out action show. Quite long storylines but its written really well, but not a quick fix. Band of Brother is excellent

    Got to agree with Gomorrah. Both seasons were excellent. Another couple from Italy are Inspector Montalbano & the follow-up Young Montalbano. Bit like Morse.

    Anyone mention The Killing yet - not the US pishy remake - the original Danish job. Excellent.
