I often wonder a half hour episode of stuff like this takes to record, there must be constant 'corpsing' by the cast, maybe they do their bits in isolation? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Blue Lights is a television drama series, set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, following three probationary police officers of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. The series was broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, premiering on 27 March 2023; it has been re-commissioned for a second series, which began filming in 2023. Peter what did you think of series 2? 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Divot Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Prime TV: Escape at Dannemora. Based on a true story, it's a slow-burner but excellent and worth a watch, another great cast and top performances from the three main character's. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It feels a bit like Casualty in some bits. I'm looking for top Prime tips - I've just managed to get it working. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Since they killed off Gerry, there's no character that I'm particularly bothered about. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simon T Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 "Unlocked: A Jail Experiment" I enjoyed this. "Unlocked: A Jail Experiment is a mini series that follows the inmates of a cell block in Little Rock Arkansas as they navigate and negotiate life in jail environment, but without guards and without locks on their cell doors." 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jaco Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Just finished "Baby reindeer" which has got a tremendous amount of traction in the media. Difficult watch at times but completely compelling. True story based on hopeful comedian, Richard Gadd, who plays himself, and the disturbing and warped relationship he has with a female stalker. As good as anything I've seen recently. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kathryn Magson Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Series 2 of Blue Lights is every bit as good as the first series! Also watching The Gone, on BBC iplayer. Based in New Zealand - it's good & well worth watching even if only for the scenery - it looks stunning! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not exactly 'feel good' or 'family friendly' Great acting, but a little too grim for me https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4n187n8rlvo Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jessie Pinkman Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) I'm a fan of the Traitors series, I've enjoyed both UK series, US , New Zealand and the Australian series 1 and I've just finished series 2 on BBC I Player. Wow this second series will take some beating. Rodger the host is brilliant, for me the best host of them all. The contestants were really stupid on this one. I've never shouted NO NO you stupid so & so as much as I did at this lot. Top telly. Edited April 26 by Jessie Pinkman Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It's funny; well not actually. I've started watching both of these and I'm finding there to be a little too much character previous, and quite cheesy protagonist posturing and dialogue. Funny that, a shame, I was looking forward to both of them. I hope you're alright Simon. Peter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Monsieur Pierre (through the window) I don't recognize the quote as one from Barry Norman so presuming it's some twaddle from Mark Kermode. Please could you expand & clarify for a thicko, eejit, dinlo like me. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
