No, I really didn't fancy it.

I still watch Corrie (there isn't much else on) and I wonder if there are new directors.  The actors are doing unnatural poses and it looks to me as though they are being told how to stand and move.

I used to watch some of the soaps way back.. But I used to get muddled up with the characters.. The story lines seem to copy one another..

Yes I watched that. Pretty unbelievable that he ever got away with it to start with.

Watched another 3 part crime docudrama. Quite old I think as I'd watched it before. I started on Yellowstone but it didn't grab me so  I gave "Appropriate Adult" another spin.  Now the Wests  :nooo: :nooo:

Only ever watched Crossroads and Corrie. Crossroads went off the air and I stopped watching Corrie over ten years ago. Went on holiday and didn't see it for a couple of weeks, realised I didn't even miss it, so just stopped watching.

Stepson Niall enthused over it, but the concept didn't appeal to me

I remembered the story quite well and the papers were full of spoilers so I didn't bother..

I finally got around to Operation Mincemeat.. The movie. I'd watched and very much enjoyed the BBC documentary on the operation so knew the bones of it.Which is why I was rather puzzled at the amount of schlock they threw in towards the end. It was enjoyable though.

Finally a decent release and not TS more like  :grin: Anyway that heads up sorts out tonight's viewing so thanks.

Last night I watched a 3 part docudrama I thought I'd bin out before the end. I'd been putting off watching it. It was late but too early for bed so I gave it a go expecting to only watch one part and get an early night. Oddly I got into it and ended up with a later night than I intended - Quiz - the story of the court case after a £1m Who Wants to be a Millionaire winner was accused and convicted of cheating. I must say based on the defence as presented in the program I couldn't have convicted.

I tried The Dark Tower a while ago but didn't like it much. Bit tedious, I remember.


A poor adaptation of the first book in a series if 8! The books are fabulous - and you get to meet 'Oy' in book 3 :grin:

I've also been watching 'The Offer' Very good drama about the problems they had making 'The GodFather'. Interesting stuff..

It will be tonight that I watch Operation Mincemeat as I got sidetracked last night. I first heard of this donkey's years back in the days I used the library and read a book about it.

Look forward to reading wot u think ol' bean..

Well I can remember the facts or at least what I read of them and I expect the film will stick to those. What I can't figure out is how they have made a two hour film of it. I do know that it was a very important bit of disinformation and made a big contribution to defeating the Nazis.
