enjoy Kaffs

 I intend watching The Musketeers, for the same reason as you.

As a quizzer I do like the Lotto quiz. Then it's the first part of The Bridge on slight catch up. End up with MOTD.
Tomorrow, the second part of The Bridge, MOTD2 and prob the FL show on catch up. I suspect that Mrs Jer will want to watch that dreadful Carry on Midwife though but.

FL show?

Football League show.

 

Ah - thanks El  

I record The Bridge and will do the same with Call The Midwife. Does CTM start this Sunday?

CTM does start tomorrow, yogi... my planner is looking pretty busy!

for you too Yogi

We can take it moonie... have you SEEN them?   .... .and Peter Capaldi too!  What's not to like?

Its the third part of The Bletchly Circle on Monday - a great series and does anyone know when there is a new series of only connect?

I must say a big thank you Kaffs, hadnt heard of the Musketeers and having goggled i mean googled them i too will watching

I like to share good news, Jen...

i like the Bletchly Circel too, machel - only seen the first part of this series so far, but I enjoyed it (I watched the first one too)

I love The Bridge!   Just thought I'd say that

 

The next series of Only Connect is sometime in the spring on BBC4. The series after that will move to BBC2 and will be later in 2014.

In 2013, there was a series which started on 13 May, and another one which started on 23 September. As applications for the next series can be made up to the end of February a start date of mid May seems likely.

 

I enjoy Bletchley too ...although I'm glad that woman is leaving ...I felt her character was very wooden .

Stuff historical fact, look....

 

Aramis:

 

Athos:

 

D'Artagnan:

 

Porthos:

 

Bagsy first dibs on Aramis 

 

 

Is it not all for one and all that..... I'll be the 'one'   

No.

 

Now get out of the way 

I'll be having d'Artagnan thanks very much. 

 

*dribbles*

 

Oi  - you two!  I saw them all first!   Nobody touch Athos!

too late

Thanks el loro (I knew I could rely on you for the answers)

We are big fans of Bletchley, in spite of the Second Class stamp fiasco.
Can't wait for Only Connect with the delightful Victoria Coren, especially for her curvy looks whilst they do the walls. If I may say so.

David Mitchell is a lucky man

I think I got the best Musketeer.

Hrrmph.    I might just go for P.C.

OMG ... how good was corrie? 

Well I dunno really. I know that my cousin and I have been dreading this storyline. Two different deaths which I'm afraid still leave us feeling rather raw.
I was particularly annoyed by the gadjie who plays Roy describing how harrowing it all was for them. Not as harrowing as real life. Trust me on that.

I have avoided it for a whole week as i didnt think i could cope... then i stupidly watched it last night.

 

I was fine until the shot of him holding her body....... Then i just burst into tears as i tried to say how accurate the colour of her skin was....

 

I thought the guy who plays Roy was brilliant

Just watched it.

I thought David Neilson (Roy) was exceptionally good.

I'll happily take all any of them!

It was excellent, wasn't it?  Really well done - Roy was brilliant.  

 

 

You're as greedy as Baz!

 

have you watched it?  I've not seen it yet.

 Baz still has the crown but I'm getting there

Yes, I watched it - and drooled.

I'll let you squabble over the current crop of Musketeers.  I'd settle for this one:

 

Oh, i know Joe ... I am sure that it bought back memories for lots of people watching

 

The one thing that didn't ring true for me was that she seemed too 'well' to want to die right then. She'd been downstairs, lifted a baby, ironed a shirt. I just felt that she would want to go on for a bit longer. 

 

However, every time I expressed this opinion last night my friend who was watching it with me keep referring me back to the Hailey/Harold dilema.

 

I have no experience of that, so I conceded to the scriptwiters and thought they all made a cracking job of it.

I agree with your friend.   If it was the pain, she (the character) would have probably gone on a bit longer, but she knew she needed to increase the pain relief and didn't want to be 'out of it' and possibly back thinking she was Harold when she died.     I thought they did well and as I was reading (think it was in the Mail online) they didn't make it too mawkish an episode, like a Easties two hander - although I'm sure Julie and David could have done it well - but they showed life going on as normal all around the street in between scenes, and cut away after she'd started drinking the cocktail of drugs.  Made it all the more poignant I think.

I've been thinking about the Hayley/Harold thing.

The way I see it, Hayley was always Hayley on the inside, and was only Harold on the outside. She could never 'return' to being Harold because he never really existed. However, I think she was frightened that she would become confused due to meds and relive the painful times when she was forced to live as Harold.

That makes sense in my head but I'm not so sure it makes sense in print.

No, that's what I meant..  when her friend was dying she was talking about happy times with her husband, and Hayley didn't want to go back to a time in her life when she thought she was still 'Harold' on the outside and so unhappy. 

 That's how I saw it too.

I never knew The Killing 1 was so long. 30 eps on DVD   

 

Utterly riveting.
