My wife and daughter watched “Bridgerton” (Netflix) a week or so back and enjoyed it that much that they are now watching it again. :(
I’m currently watching Bridgerton. It’s quite .... er..... racy

We walked down to a place called Bucks Mills last week.
Not too far away but the first time we’d been there .....
We've stayed / eaten in the ' Hoops Inn ' a few times so know it well enough :thumbup:

Been there once and enjoyed.
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 :thumbup:

First series is brilliant, second quite good but third is "milking it"

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!!!

David/Carole….I’m starting to wonder whether we should carry on watching it as it sounds like one is left still not knowing what happens…is this the case?

Thank you.

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.

One of the best programmes to have happened during lockdown. It's compulsive viewing in our house.

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.
