Well, I'm a watching a film. From Here To Eternity (1953).
I'm going to watch telly as it airs like a fucking pensioner from 6pm, as BBC have got the schedule bang on for me:
Gladiators
Gavin & Stacey cash-in doc
The Traitors s3e1 omg omg
SAS Rogue Heroes (s1 was surprisingly good and QUITE HOMOEROTIC iirc)
Might even leave it on for EE at 10pm, as I missed it over Christmas and I normally do DABBLE FESTIVELY
And then there's a repeat of C4's Big Fat Quiz of the year on from 10:30pm, which I do like on the few years they get the mix of panellists right.
Not that much music from 2024 for a review of the year.TotP review of 2024. At least it's Clara.
My NYD schedule shall be:
Gladiators Celeb special
SEB NYE gig catch up
Gavin and Stacey finale re-watch (I may or may not have been a bit TIPSY during the first run)
The Split Barcelona Episode 2 catch Up
The Traitors EP 1
Splendid!![]()
What a dreadful version of Little BirdI'm going in for Annie Lennox at the BBC
Do I need to have seen Season 1 of SAS Rogue Heroes?
I watched the last two Veras last night, plus the Farewell documentary
I will miss it, but I don't feel like it ended on a particular high.
I didn't get into it until well into the run - after Cush Jumbo left, but I don't think straight after, so I'm guessing series 8. I've watched some of the older ones since on ITV3 (I think).I still haven’t watched a single episode. I may need to revisit at some point. Should I start from the first episode?

So I don't think you need to start at the beginning, but if you're going to pick it up now it's over, I guess you may as well.
I'm not really sure I can, but I will say that I think I had a bit of a preconceived idea of it being warm and cuddly in a Sunday night, little old lady kind of way. And it isn't. Don't get me wrong, it's not exactly GRITTY either, but Marple or Murder She Wrote it isn't.Can you compare it to any other programme? I was never a fan of Poirot or Miss Marple which is probably why I never tried it. I did love Murder She Wrote but I can’t imagine it will be quite as camp![]()
Has anyone given the James Norton drama Playing Nice on ITV a go yet? Was thinking of giving it a go later, but I see that the Guardian absolutely savaged it. But I've seen quite a few people in turn savage that review.
That review is really going to town but I watched the first episode and I didn't like it very much.
Both James Norton and Niamh Algar deserved better. His character especially behaves in an annoyingly gullible way. I agree that the antagonist was so obviously villainous from the get go (there is one especially hilarious shot of him sinisterly watching footage from a child monitor).
My Mum and Dad have watched it and felt that the Guardian review was, if anything, too nice.Has anyone given the James Norton drama Playing Nice on ITV a go yet?
