Mrs B has memories of her Granny and Grandads golden wedding there.
They were Bidefordians.
The other side of the family were Appledore.
She’s gone full circle

Just started watching 'Designated Survivor' (Netflix) A cabinet minister gets thrust into being the American President after a bomb attack on the Capitol Building.....killing the President and his staff.
3 series, 52 episodes should keep us going for a week or two during lockdown. Enjoying it thus far

Re: TV programmes
I watched that a few months ago and really enjoyed it. I agree with you that the third series is disappointing, I felt it ended mid-story. I wanted to know what happened next. The series I have enjoyed most, I have the box set, is The West Wing. I think it's brilliant and it also taught me about the American electoral system. I'd have voted for President Bartlet any time. I'm not sure how you can access it at the moment. I think it may be on Now TV, not sure. I started by buying the first series, there are 7, and before I was half way though that series I ordered the box set. People may think they've had enough of American politics at the moment but I found the whole series so interesting that I just couldn't wait to watch the next episode.

We're still on "London Kills" which twists and turns to keep you guessing. Must be good - I don't nod off after the first 10 minutes!!!

Re: TV programmes
I laugh out loud too as does Mobietta, back in the 70s however we had a visit from the outlaws and their 6 year old lad. To keep him amused we put on T&J but he cried his eyes out ... wadda snowflakeWhynd1 wrote: 06 Jan 2021, 09:59My father absolutely loved Tom and Jerry and Spike. He used to really laugh.

Having read about ‘The Repair Shop’ on this forum we have been catching up with it. What a delightful programme, and such talented people.
Whoever mentioned it thank you for the recommendation.

Re: TV programmes
Highly recommend The Serpent on Iplayer.
We’ve been binge watching with the final two to watch tonight.
I was travelling around in the same era, so it means something to me.
They even had the Magic Bus from Istanbul to Katmandu.
When I did it, we went as far as Tehran.
Fascinating days.
