Anyone watching The Soller Railway on Freeview 23 CCXTV? Fascinating for anyone who has been on it.

I’ve been watching reruns of Allo Allo. It may be my age but I find it hilarious. No bad language but so much innuendo. I don’t think our PC brigade would let them get away with it today. I can’t help feeling how much they must have enjoyed making it.

We recorded a shedload of Allo Allo and thoroughly enjoyed them. In your face innuendo but really funny. I struggle to find anything nowadays to match comedy like it.

'The Serpent' really enjoying the series and it's based on a true story. Not a nice guy to get to friendly with

It was like a comedy version of Antiques Roadshow yesterday when my sister and I started to clear out some of the things from my mother's house. As you can imagine there was so much stuff we hadn't seen in years but discovering a pair of china vases I said they're really old so looked at the bottom to see if there was a mark only to discover a sticker saying £3.99 :roll: Well you know when something just makes you laugh and laugh well my sister and I were in stitches and just fell about laughing and couldn't stop :crazy: Silly I know but I'm still smiling about it today :lol:

Plenty of treasures found at boot sales Jan for £3.99 that have turned out to be worth allot more, as has often been the case on Antiques Road Show when the valuer asks where it came from and how much did you pay.

You never know!

I watched Dad's Army last night. It be was 8n black and white and must have been one of the earliest episodes. It wasn't very funny but it was enjoyable.

We watched “The professor and the Madman“ last night a film I can thoroughly recommend. Based on a true story, the film follows the compelling story of how the Oxford English Dictionary came to be.

It gets a big :thumbup: from me.

Hi Mob…We watched it on “Amazon Prime” Yes! you do have to pay…I think we pay around £7 a month but find it good value when you consider you don’t have to pay any postage on items purchased through Amazon. :wave:

Never worked out how to get Prime tv to work whenever we’ve had a free trial subscription to Prime. And before anyone says it, we don’t have a crystal set tv :)

We have a ' Prime Video ' Logo option but assumed it required access to one's t'tinternet hub to view it and we don't have the PC linked with the TV so ... it's a :thumbdown:

Anyone watching "Below Deck in the Mediterranean" on Channel 4 (I think!)

I know it's rubbish reality TV but it has great views of Greek island locations with the sea and sunshine that I miss.

I've been watching 'Bloodlands' which had a surprising twist in the last episode (2).
