Re: The Children's Off Topic Thread
I am watching Inspector Montalbano - Italian detective series on BBC - subtitled but can still hear that lovely accent. It is based in Sicily and the scenery and music is fabulous. I am watching the first series which I didn't see on catch-up - apparently based on books with interesting characters and stories. They did a short series of the Young Montalbano based on his early years which again I enjoyed. The series was originally shown on BBC4 and my mother watched it along with all those really dark Scandinavian dramas. It then became more mainstream - BBC2 I believe and she told me she had watched it for years
A few years ago we visited Sicily on a cruise and my son did the Godfather excursion - he is really into those films - goodness knows when we will have the opportunity to visit again.

Re: The Children's Off Topic Thread
We watched just the one episode and it reminded us of a very similar sitcom where the feller was a dentist, ' All in the Family - ish ' ? I don't think we will be recording any more episodes.Manoverboard wrote: 18 Apr 2020, 13:24Never heard of ' Outnumbered ' so have downloaded one of those as well, will deffo be virgin territory tonight![]()
As for ' Kate and Koji ', we are only halfway through the first episode and it's as daft as a brush ...
ps .... Mobietta wasn't impressed that we had been co-erced to watch a program on the ' VICE ' channel

You forget 'Uddersfield is in a different time zone. It's about 30 years behind the rest of the UK, give or take an hour.

Annoying when you can't think of something. I usually go through the alphabet in my head to try and trigger the name.

We may start that later having just finished our viewing of the recordings of Liar.
I have to say we were bang on with our conclusions. Until less than 5 mins from the end! Then it went Pete Tong!
