    I love the original Smiley films with Alec Guiness. Thought they did a good job with the modern remake with Gary Oldman recently, though ;ok

    I might wrap myself up tomorrow if I don't feel any better, lay on the setee and watch some old B&W movies...

    Harvey is a particular favourite of mine.

    I think the great thing with True Detective is that you're supposed to dislike both characters, because they have several flaws but, by the finale, you want the best for both of them, even though you shoudn't.

    Some of the scenes. Loved the scene at the end of episode 3 just before they show you the first suspect walking through a field. Absolutely chilling.

    Never rated McConaughey, but he is utterly brilliant in those 8 episodes.

    The Blues Brothers - my all time favorite film for so many reasons, the car chases, the humor and of course the music, what is there not to love.

    My drive to work every day is over the junction where numerous police cars get written off and John Candy ends up in a truck.

    TV - my DVD collection tells its own story, Inspectors Morse, Lewis and Endeavour, Poirot and George Gently, although Martin Shaws cockney accent is terrible.

    Also have complete collections of Yes Minister and Ripping Yarns.

    Am a big fan of Game of Thrones

    On my recent visit, everyone was raving about Mrs Browns Boys - gave it a try but although there is humor in there, it really was not my cup of tea - do not consider myself a prude at all but it relies far to heavily on really vulgar language for my liking

    Breaking Bad is pretty good, especially at the end. Annoys me a lot but my expectations were ruined by people saying it was better than The Wire. Not close imo.
    Also find Game of Thrones overhyped.

    Vikings is a pretty good series. Very entertaining. Has some comparisons to Game of Thrones.

    Lillyhammer on Netflix is good. Good drama, good characters and can be really amusing.

    House of Cards had a great first series but got a little ridiculous in the second.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    OOo I've got Netflix, might give Lillyhammer a go ;ok
  • HamstewHamstew
