    For anyone unaware in the UK who occasionally watch the "Talking Pictures" channel, they publish on their website, a printable weekly detailed programme guide.

    DHR looking over the tv schedule you posted… that is quite an impressive schedule. I especially like the 1950’s movie with Glen Ford. An oldie but goodie. Adore so many of the movies from that era. In the US we have a similar channels that plays a lot of those movies . They are very much still enjoyed by a lot of people of that generation.

    I've watched the first season of "Untaimed," on Netflix over the past couple of days. I've seen it before. I think it's quite good.




    There's another season coming.

    I've started watching a female Italian detective series on Channel 4 streaming.
    It's called Lolita Lobosco.
    It's not to be taken too seriously, a bit like Detective Montalbano.
    Here too, the scenery is nice, but maybe one episode will be enough, as beards are present.

    Makes a change from dour dramas where male lead characters all have beards and female detectives have a lot of personal baggage. I'm a bit surprised they don't give them beards too.

    The lead actress is quite attractive.

    But not as much as the classic Fiat based, 1964 Autobianchi Bianchina she drives, to and from work. One of these.

    Her's is an immaculate coupe two-tone model, complete with, "suicide doors," it must have had a complete restoration.

    Hard to believe they thought it worth making four series of this bit of fluff of a programme.

    I started to binge watch "Gone" but soon gave up on it.
    I've often complained about having to suffer scenes of characters' "baggage," but this one topped the lot. We were introduced to the personal baggage of the main detective, before we even knew who she was!
    After that the story was ridiculous, the police not establishing how long the victim had been dead! The "baggage" kept reoccurring, with which she was pathetic at dealing. It all became a bit of a bore, it was so slow.
