Thanks - I'll have a look for that one!👍

Those Who Kill on BBC iplayer is worth a look - it's a Danish crime thriller series. Very disturbing in places, well-acted & well worth watching. I'm into the second series now & I'm gripped!👍

You might like Hidden Figures - it's available on Amazon, but it also keeps popping up on network telly too. True story & well worth watching.

Try watching Fearless on ITVX - Helen McCrory & John Bishop I'm into episode 3 now & it's really good!

I thought it might just amuse some of us to share a few of the funny tales we all had to tell from back in the day. (apologies in advance if there's a similar thread but I couldn't find one!) I bet plenty of us have funny stories to share - here's one of mine from the 1960s Twisted Wheel........... One night I got talking - as you did - to some guys from Southend who'd heard big stories as to how good The Twisted Wheel was, so they'd decided to make the journey north to give it a go. Their tale made me laugh out loud at the time! This was their first time at The Wheel & at first they weren't too sure what to make of it - being from "Down South" where people tended to "keep their distance" they weren't used to people talking to strangers as though they were best mates! When one of their group was in the men's toilets, a guy he'd never met before started to chat to him.......endlessly....... so he went back to tell all his southerner mates & they all began to wonder if they'd come to a gay club by mistake.....They had a bit of a conflab about it & decided "so what if it's a gay club???" People seemed ok & the music was really good so they decided to stay anyway. Then later on, one of them was waiting at the coffee bar to buy himself a drink, when a girl started to chat to him....again endlessly lol.......& he thought "Great - I've pulled!" but then she got her drink....suddenly said "Bye" & promptly disappeared........By the time they got chatting to me they'd begun to realize that "Us Northerners" were a funny lot & would talk to anyone & everyone - especially with a bit of "chemical assistance" inside us! 👀🤣 They visited The Wheel a few more times - travelled North in a convoy of a Mini, somebody's works van & a Mark 4 Jag ....about 20 or so of them I think, but couldn't fit everyone in so they had to take turns. I think one was called Danny, but that's about as much as I can remember about them. Happy days!

I've just started watching Undercover on BBCiplayer - episode 1 & I'm already hooked! It has an excellent cast - lots of twists & turns so no spoilers - it's well worth watching - big thumbs-up from me! 24 hours later.............. Now I'm into episode 4 of Undercover & I have to say this is one of the best dramas I've seen for a long time.....somebody else watch it please!🤣

Early night tonight for me lol

Just answered a knock at my door to a really nice surprise!☺️" I had a bit of a late night last night - I was just off to bed around midnight when I heard a loud bang outside my window & saw a guy collapsed in the car park. Called an ambulance for him, but it took over an hour to get here, so I kept an eye on him till it arrived & stayed with the paramedics to pass on all the info that I knew. It was well after 2 by the time I got to bed & even then I couldn't sleep! His wife just sent me flowers & a thank you card! So nice of her - I said it was a lovely thing to do but there was really no need - I was just glad to help. I made a joke of it & told her I couldn't just leave him there cos he was making the place look untidy!! He's spent the night in hossy but he's home now - all's well that ends well.....☺️" I'm knackered now! 2 late nights in a row - I can't cope! lol😂
