Shame about lindford
Not for me ta. Sunday night is Mifwifey night!
*gets tissues out ready for a blub* 
What was that?! ROFL 
I'm not keen on the poshy, I hope they beat him 
Crumbs they're dropping like flies 
Surely this will put off future celebs taking part? There's so many injuries
Wow check Tom out!
I wonder if Davina has had a go on the jump
Has anyone seen Better Call Saul? Is it any good? I'm mulling over starting into it or not.

How were you thinking of watching it, Roger - box set/on demand?
I had hoped that Spike (or possibly the parent channel C5) would start showing it after they went through the whole of "Breaking Bad", but so far nothing...

The internet pixies Eugene... 
but I'll pay for Netflix for the second season.
I just watched the first episode... slow first 30 mins but then it kicked in.

I've heard good things about it, but TBH I've got enough problems trying to keep up with my "current" shows without starting something new as well.
Having said that: apparently there aren't actually that many episodes, so you never know...

Yes same here Eugene. I have Amazon Prime + there's so many shows! I enjoyed the start of Deadwood and know its supposed to be brilliant but still haven't got on with it. They've also just released Mr. Robot which got rave reviews as well.
Having said that... 2 eps into Better Call Saul and I'd put it on a par with Breaking Bad 
Similar feel... the characters and situations sort of wrap themselves round your mind and BAM you're hooked. Saul / Jimmy definitely deserved his own series. This could be like Cheers and Frazier...
Well... I flew through all 10 epsiodes of Better Call Saul - think I prefer it to Breaking Bad!! The characters in it are more likeable, and Jimmy / Saul is such a loveable rogue

I called him - he was not there - I lost interest.
I'm now eight episodes into Gotham Season One and it's beginning to grip me, so much so that I am trying to watch two episodes per night.

Heads-up for those still following "Deutschland 83":
The series ends tonight on C4 at 9pm with a double-episode. (The Radio Times describes it as a "feature-length episode", but it wasn't originally intended as such: what they're showing is the final 2 episodes of what was an 8-part series strung together).
As an aside: apparently "Deutschland 83" broke "The Returned"'s record as the most watched foreign-language series in the UK!
evening, I'm watching the jump
Evening.
I'm watching Jumper a film. Not about knitwear!
Hi EC I've seen that film, love Rachel Bilson

There have been lots of injuries yes, but the health & safety team are top notch and the celebs are loving it

Me too Yogi 
So glad they confirmed there was a swarm of biting ladybirds in 1976 - I got bit by one and no-one believed me !!!
Anyone see Vinyl? I was disappointed....for all its lavish production and Scorcese /Jagger input I was left thinking...so what.

That's pretty much what the reviews I read of it said, Amy.
A bit meh then?

Exactly Yogi! It bit me when I was on the swing in our back garden! When I told everyone they were like yeh yeh... suuure. 
All these years I've waited for the truth to come out!

yes so far....I will try one more, to see if gets better...pilot show self indulgent waste of money
I've just coughed up for Netflix to get Better Call Saul series 2
No more internet pixies! I've gone straight Might give The Good Wife another go... for some reason I lost interest in it [ though it was quite good].

I watched the first one, Rog, much enjoyed, promising
Another show on Netflix is Orange Is The New Black. Has anyone seen it? Wonder is it worth watching?
[ b.t.w. I saw the first episode of Mr. Robot on Amazon, Prime and didn't think it was that good, despite the brilliant reviews ].
Heads-up for those who have been following "Dickensian" as it's bounced around the schedules over the last couple of months...
The final episode is on BBC1 tonight (Sun) at 6.25pm, and it's 50 minutes long...

It's interesting you should say that because there is a girl I work with who is singing it's praises to me, despite the fact I told her that I have no access to Netflix/Amazon or Sky (I'm not sure what provider it's on)!

It's an HBO series, so it's shown here on Sky Atlantic.
I don't have access either, and from what I'm hearing I can't say I'm that bothered...

Glad you enjoyed it Amy It gets better and better.
The characters seem warmer then Breaking Bad [ while a great series, there seemed to be an endless succession of flawed characters and bad dudes, some so unpleasant, I didn't care what happened to them ].

Thanks Eugene As it's Sky there is not a snowball's chance in hell I will be watching.
However I am currently *ahem* acquiring Season One of The Flash and Season's One and Two of The 100. I am currently halfway through Season One of Gotham. I have spotted Dickensian which I may or may not acquire for review!
All in all I have a lot on my plate ATM.
