A new season of Vera returns to Britbox. One of the very best character driven police/mystery shows anywhere. 5 out of 5.

Please include the cable, broadcast, or streaming service carrying your recommendation so it's easy to find.

If you haven't caught The Cleaner on Britbox, a very funny dark comedy about a man who cleans up crime scenes, check it out. The Christmas special, yes there are literally buckets of blood for Christmas, is also a dark delight. 5 out of 5

Finished watching Glass Onion - Knives Out. Not as good as the first but still fun and engaging. 3.5

Star Trek, the Original Series, Season 1. Renting these from the library (three episodes on each disc, 10 discs total). Never watched the original series all the way through, so it's a whole new experience for me. It's pretty campy, with some ridiculous music at times, but cutting it some slack (which, as my avatar clearly indicates, I am wont to do) for its time period, quite good and worth revisiting. Not going to dethrone The Next Generation, however. 3.5/5

My wife watched Enola Holmes 2; said it was not bad. I wouldn’t know because i was asleep in 5 minutes.

I discovered for the first time the delights of 'on demand', 'streaming', and 'catch up' TV since I bought my new Freeview recording device over christmas.

I'm loath to pay subscription fees for services that offer little of interest to me so have been enjoying what is available over here for free and there's plenty of that.

Since setting up the box on the 28th I've watched oodles of documentaries from PBS and other on demand services and couldn't be happier. I just hope they keep adding more material .

Regards,

Jay.

Sniper, The White Raven, on Amazon Streaming, a Ukrainian film, English subtitles, but Ukrainian audio, you have to read this movie. Best Sniper film I’ve seen very realistic. 5/5

Been watching The World Darts Championship for the last couple of weeks. Gerwyn Price getting upset with the raucous crowd and deciding to come out in Daft Punk styleé headphones in an effort to block them out was hilarious.

I couldn't stop laughing. The fact he got beat made it even funnier.

Michael van Gerwen just battered Dimitri Van den Bergh so it's a Mighty Mike v Bully Boy final.

Has the potential to be a classic

Last night I watched on PBS America 'Flood in the Desert', the remarkable true story of the St Francis Dam failure that occurred in California in 1928.

With much footage & photos from the site alongside commentaries from folk involved it was fascinating to watch...a full 5/5.

It so reminded me of the Sheffield flood disaster of 1864 in which a dam collapsed and also took out hundreds of lives including several of my ancestors!

Regards,

Jay.

The Craftsman on HBO 4/5
Eric Hollenbeck of Blue Ox Mill in Eureka California.
Restoration of historic wooden buildings and objects.
Poet philosopher and pipe smoker.
Master craftsman with his crew and family. Love that the word “artisan” is never used.

I've watched the show. It's very good!

Binge watching Murder in the First. Quite good and I like Taye Diggs. 4.5 stars out of 5.

I just watched the 4th episode of Midsommer Murders. The first rose to the standard that has kept the show on since the flood. This episode was a little lacking in that department. Oh, this is series 23 of this show. The show will have 6 episodes this year. You can watch it on Acorn.

4/5

Just caught the tail end of the final. Had to go back to youtube when they said Smith got a 9 dart finish. Didn't realise they were both on for a 9 darter. What a leg of darts. 5 out of 5.

Has to be the greatest leg of darts in history. MVG fell to bits in the last few sets and his averages reflected that.

Bully Boy deserved the win. He's now World Champion and the world No.1

Michael Smith's nine darter against Michael van Gerwen in the finals tonight was mind-blowing. Van Gerwen was way off on the doubles tonight. Smith deserved the win—he'd been scoring so well all week.

Alchemy of Soul Part 1 and Part 2 on Netflix. Damn good fantasy story. 30 episodes. Tomorrow the part 2 will complete. 5 out of 5.
