    resurrecting this thread.

    Amazon Prime:-

    - Reacher, very good series
    - The Expanse, last season was good (though felt rushed for last 3 episodes or so due to only 6 episodes for final season)
    - Jack Ryan, very good series
    - Wheel of Time, liked it but could do more imo for the budget it had
    - Invincible, absolute quality for something animated
    - Carnival Row, was decent
    - The Boys, still Amazon Primes best show imo.

    - Upload season 2 coming out next week (first season was decent)
    - new series of Picard out

    -Marksman with Liam Neeson great film
    -Copshop with Gerard Butler great film
    -Wrath of Man with Jason Statham great film

    I couldn’t get past the first 30 mins of Wheel of Time. Is it worth sticking with?
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Just caught up on the first two episodes of the current Peaky Blinder series. So well made.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Yep I'm looking forward to watching that. Just need to finish Vikings Valhalla first.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Is Vikings Valhalla any good Ham?
  • HamstewHamstew
    Yeah is good. It's set 100 years (I think) after the other one so different characters. But it's basically the same sort of vibe.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    have watched first 6 episodes of Viking Valhalla same vibe follow King Cnut and i imagine similar to Ragnar Lothbrok will go beyond King Cnut and up to 1066 when essentially the Vikings were defeated and the Normans took over England.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    The Normans and the Vikings are same.

    Yeah so the Normans are Vikings that settled in France right? I guess originating from king Rollo?
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    The death in the battle of King Harald Hardrada of Norway ended any hope of reviving Cnut's North Sea Empire, and it is because of this, rather than the Norman conquest, that 1066 is often taken as the end of the Viking Age.

    Is this a heraldry question?
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Yes.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    I'll give you a clue for one of them. One of said Lions names has already mentioned.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    im guessing one is after Richard the Lionheart so Richard the 1st ?
  • HamstewHamstew
    Norman
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    My guess is one is William 1 (Conquerer) or if not his heirs, the first 3 Henrys.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Nope
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    The names are, Rollo, Maine and Aquataine
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Rollo after first Duke of Normandy, Maine after the country was added to Normandy and Aquitaine after the area of France where his wife Eleanor came from.

    What are the names of the Three Lions on the England crest?
    the actual names of the three lions are : roary pauz and mayne . From a guide at the Houses of Parliament and from other sources.
    Looks like different people have different ideas about their names. =)

    That's the wallies at F.A.

    Not film or TV but if you’ve got a slightly warped sense of humour I’d highly recommend Athletico Mince, the podcast from Bob Mortimer and Andy Barlow.
    Don’t play it while you’re working out in the gym though , it’s quite dangerous when you’re lifting weights when you suddenly crack up laughing.If you’re into Vic and Bobs humour you’ll love this.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    I can't believe there is only 8 episodes of Vikings Valhalla 🤬
