Title: The News Reader.
Post by: Scrumpy on July 28, 2022, 08:01:26 AM

A new series on BBC 2.. I have just started watching it..  It is brilliant..
  This is only for them that have a tv license .. :grin:

Thanks Scrumpy, I'll give it a try.

If it's any good it'll turn up in Zoony's Video Emporium....

Does it feature any straight ethnic Brits?

July 28, 2022, 08:24:50 AM
Ah I see it's Australian made and is apparently streaming free on Roku (my TV has Roku)

I was put off by the pictures. Not really the sort of thing I watch. Too much sex and violence.

I do take note of the various warnings that come with programs on Prime. They sometimes mention stuff like adult themes, gambling or smoking. You can't be too careful.

Ah well. Another rewatch of Little House on the Prairie I guess...

Little House on the Prairie !!!   I think Caroline Ingalls was up to something with Mr Edwards.. and Mr Olsen  :wink:

I don't think I ever saw it. I recall the title from a quote about some TV mush which was described as Like Little House on the Prairie but without all the sex and violence.   :smiley:

Never saw it or Little House on the Prairie. Only ever liked a couple of Westerns, Alies Smith n Jones and Dr Quinn Medicine Woman.

Well that was a con. Roku just adds iPlayer to its sources and i need a licence for that.

Wasn't in the emporium either.

July 28, 2022, 12:11:55 PM
Ah I was mislead. It is in the emporium. It's newsreader not news reader?
Title: Re: The News Reader.
Post by: Scrumpy on July 28, 2022, 12:17:08 PM
Well, that has solved your problem of watching any sex or violence..  :smiley:

Don't be put off Sheila.. Paul will be fine..
  I think Alex might give it a go if she can pick it up..

Raven.. Little House on the Prairie  along with The Waltons  was fine in it's day..

I recently watched Cheers that was repeated on the tv..  As good as any comedy series being shown today..
Title: Re: The News Reader.
Post by: klondike on July 28, 2022, 12:23:03 PM
Ah The Waltons that was the one that was compared. Not seen either. I have grabbed season one of Newsreader and will probably make a start on it this evening. I did watch season one of Stranger Things as recommended by Oy and will watch the next season at least but I see from brief sneak peeks at the later seasons it is a continuation so I'll take a break for a little while.

I put together a tutorial on using the emporium here...
https://letschat.club/index.php?topic=664.0

It really isn't hard. Just copy the steps.

The magnet link can be found on this page...
https://www.magnetdl.com/file/4932583/the.newsreader.s01.complete.720p.webrip.x264-galaxytv/

Just remembered some ISPs block magnet.dl. A later post in the tutorial shows how to use Torlook which I don't think is blocked. I think I saw a mod which will let me post the magnet link directly here. If I did I'll do that.

klondike can you please put the info on Zoony's Emporium in a place we can find it later  ?

I already did. It's in the hints and tips section. Use your browser to bookmark it if necessary.

You are quite safe to watch it klondike.. As yet I have seen no bare breast or bums and no-one has had their knees shattered.. or thumbs twisted..

So far it is very good..

We have just found it.  Paul said sex and violence are fine!

I've watched the first episode and it was quite fun. I do hope there won't be any sex though...  :smiley:

I am pleased that you are giving it a try..
It shows the back stabbing .. and how easily you can be replaced within the work place..
Title: Re: The News Reader.
Post by: Alex on July 29, 2022, 04:09:51 PM
I don't think I can get this, but then if there's no sex or violence in it I'd probably drop off halfway through   :cool:

Download it. Even if you don't like it you'll know how to download the next thing you can't get.

 I know it's not Naked Attraction but you might enjoy something different..  :smiley:

I saw some of that on gogglebox  :rolleyes:

Yeah!! Right.. Keep telling yourself that..

It's what made me hope there is no hankey panky coming up in The Newsreader....
Title: Re: The News Reader.
Post by: Scrumpy on July 29, 2022, 07:15:07 PM
I also saw it on Gogglebox..
Scared the bloody life out of me..
It brought back scary memories from years ago..  :nooo:

Thank you so much for telling me about the Naked Attraction Scrumps, :wtf:  but it put me off my Jam Roly Poly so I never watched it again, hardly think I'm missing anything either.

I've got to episode three and there is indeed rumpy pumpy afoot. I can't figure out if the newsreader is older than her toy boy's mother or not.

Post by: Scrumpy on July 31, 2022, 11:58:17 AM

I have just done episode three..  I am looking forward to watching the fourth this afternoon..

Age does not matter... when working your way up..

Surprise in store in four.  Not sure where that's going.

I have watched all six episodes.. I don't usually binge watch.. but I was enjoying it..

Excellent.. It shows that everyone is replaceable..
Bit like politics..

I've watched them all now too. What's next missus?

A sort of family catch phrase from my son's first and only home birthday party. One of the little buggers swung on the curtains bringing the rail down and that was what one of the guests said on finishing the first course of eats.
