Good isn't it.
Northern Soul just predates me as I was about 10 when it was at it's zenith but I was aware of it.
Happy music, love the dancing.
Just waiting for the all very white comments.

We recorded it, just watched it with my wife, highly enjoyable.

I watched Blue Lights on iplayer last week. 6 part Police drama set in Belfast following a group of new recruits. Thought it was superb.

I enjoyed it too, the place has changed massively from when I was there in the late 80s.

I noticed there's a second series of "Ghosts US" showing at the moment, it's not bad.

I see Brassic 5 is back in the autumn. Can't wait, one of the funniest programs on TV.

Same here, just rewatched the previous to remind myself - the Gideon episodes and Cardi & Carol crack me up

[mikebradford]

I'm also a big fan of brassic
Glad it's managed to still be funny after so many series.
The disco biscuit scene cracks me up

The old fella is absolute TV gold!

Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn

A 4 part documentary, in which Carlos Ghosn, tries to paint himself as a victim.

An unbelievable level of ego, greed, and a lack of remorse, just staggering. Well worth watching!

Apple TV

No Activity – Australian comedy cop show on BBC Iplayer.

Basically, two inept cops sat on stakeout whilst trying to chat/wind up the call handlers whilst having pointless conversations. Plus, the totally useless bad guys and “misfit dads army type” security guard.

10/10

Living next door to Putin.

Iplayer

Katya Adler experiences how the people of the Baltic states have reacted to the war in Ukraine.

Very moving

Second season of C4's 'Screw' was good. Yes there are suspend your disbelief moments but it's not a documentary.

Well ,this thread died a death .
I scrolled past many tv threads with virtually no posts to refind it .

Help ,we bought a village [CH4] is great ,Brits go to France ,Spain Italy Portugal and buy a whole abandoned village not just 1 house in the sun .

The work and investment required is off the scale and good luck to all of them .

The O/H and I have been watching this too. Although most of the properties are really cheap, they're in a poor state and I notice some also 'suffer' from traditional building methods.

One that springs to mind was a house with 'mud' floors? I think it was a Scottish chap that bought it (and a couple of others) but it looked as though reality was setting in when he saw the scale of the task ahead of him.

I wondered if he was regretting buying three houses...

I watch it also. The young guy who bought that French chateau seems very optimistic - or naive. That's a 20-year job at the pace he's progressing.
