    I have to put the subtitles on more and more nowadays a combination of accents, muffled recordings, poor tv speakers, etc.
    Another sombre tv noir experience was the Welsh drama hidden which i sat through recently... I don't think the sun ever shone...

    Last night, ‘A Quiet Place’ was Mrs Andy’s offering. After a few minutes I decided to go and finish the old radio play I’d started earlier. Sub-woofer booms and occasional screams from two floors downstairs distantly punctuated my 1990 play called ‘Spanish Gold’, which was a little bit more my ‘scene’. ;)

    Whereabouts did you watch that? I was watching it on my firestick but there were no links to the final episode, which frustrated the hell out of me.
    There must be a problem with sunshine in Wales - the sun never shone once in three series of Hinterland either.

    Still none the wiser - may have to Google him/them. To be honest, that doesn't look like the sort of thing that would have been popular in a Queensland country town 30 or 40 years ago...

    good Alex Guinness film on today BBC2.

    Opened our Harry Potter box set at the w/e and watched film no 2 (Chamber of Secrets), film 1 was hidden by the insert <doh>. Seen it before and I fell asleep half way though. Characterisation and ideas were good but plot a little thin I thought and the film seemed to be a series of scenes showing the film-makers CGI expertise rather than add much to the plot. I liked Dobbin thoug, could relate to him :eek:.

    The noise of the lab was used in lots of films. I think it's a lovely film - Ealing at its best.

    It wasn't popular with me, but I think it might have been a Number 1 over here?

    I watched K-Pax last night for the first time in a few years... actually turned my pad off and muted my phone. Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges. Set in a NYC psychiatric hospital, a compelling psychological drama with comedy moments and a sci-fi element. Brilliant theme tune. Wholly underrated film.

    Added to the list. <ok>

    Today it was my choice. ‘Dial ‘M’ for Murder’ - a bit more my cup of tea. Wonderful stuff and the boys really enjoyed it. I’ll avoid spoilers, but Mrs Andy was unconvinced! Don’t know why, I think it’s excellent.

    Gardening, cleaning the cars, doing jobs I have put off and long walks keep me away from daytime TV

    You weren’t asked to provide an alibi, duggie.

    You’re providing an alibi for Mrs Duggie now! What have you two been up to? :bandit:
