Agree, agree, agree! I'd vote for James Norton to play Bond. 

We've just watched True Spirit, the story of the 16 year old girl who sailed round the world about 13 years ago. It's very good and I think my 16 year old GD would enjoy it.

Keep an eye on that woman in the yellow coat - it's always the last one you'd suspect what dunnit. Well it is in Midsomer Murders anyway.

I liked him in Grantchester, enjoyed that series.

I've just got to the halfway point and noticed something odd based on all the vehicles. Season 1 was 2014 and 2 2016. It looks to me like this was filmed in 2018 as the newest car reg I've seen is 18. Why the 4+ year delay screening it?

I have given up on Vikings after 6 episodes out of about 50? Each episode is just much of a muchness with no real plot - just hacking folk with swords and axes

There was a deliberate 6 year delay to let Ryan grow up, and want to meet TLR.  

Perhaps no new cars 🚘 is meant to signify Yorkshire people as canny with their money?  😉

Well that explains the gap but most shows would just us a different actor.

The cars all have pretty old plates though which is odd.

I watched Elona Holmes 2 on Netflix last night, supposed to be Sherlocks Holmes sister.  Set in Victorian London,  Match factory girls = huge number of blacks, chinese etc.  Inspector Listrade = black, Dr John Watson = black,   Moriarty = black woman.  Represents todays London but no way Victorian London.  My grandma a Londoner born in 1881, was quite surprised when seeing black bus conductors as she had rarely seen a black person before. 

I have three months Netflix for free, will cancel next month, no way will I pay for it, so many foreign dubbed films on there, anything halfway decent I have seen already. The only films any good are on Talking Pictures the old 50's ones, very few decent films that interest me made these days.

I couldn't live without Netflix      As I don't have a telly licence I watch lots of stuff including the 'foreign dubbed' films, some great storylines, particularly from Sweden and Norway.   Before you give it up have a look at Women At War set in France in WW I , tells the story of 4 French women but yes it's dubbed.

There is so much choice on Netflix.. Amazon.. Disney..
As well as iPlayer ...  I have these should I need them..
My family add me on their list ....
I seldom use them.. but it is good to know that they are available..
 I could never watch anything with sub-titles.. My reading is not quick enough.. By the time I have read the sub-titles the scene is over..

When I began reading your post, and having been a Sherlock Holmes fan, I couldn't wait to find that film on Netflix.
Then I read further.
In all honesty, it annoys me how recent programmes and films overdo the business of 'equality', whilst ignoring historical facts.  I have seen so many recently, and it annoys me because it reminds me how many examples there are these days of putting non-white before white when it comes to employment - the police, for example - completely contrary to the actual proportions in real life.
