Loved Pillars of the Earth, still got to watch the last 2. Walking Dead is fabulous, I look forward to it every week, Mad Men is Lush (tu) love it, Vampire Diaries :-$, Merlin, looking forward to 3rd series of True Blood, Desperate Housewives, Medium, I better stop now :-$

Afterlife was good, starring Leslie Sharp atmospheric and an gloomy feel portraying the paranormal.


"Robert Bridge is a psychology lecturer, grieving the loss of his young son Josh, who was killed in a car accident three years earlier. A specialist in the study of psychic mediums, Robert is invited to an 'evening of clairvoyance' where he meets Alison Mundy. Reluctant and cautious, she is a far cry from the fraudulent psychics that sceptic Robert is used to. Alison is different, ever since she was a child she has seen spirits and after a near-death experience they have taken over her life - when she passes people in the street she isn't sure if they are dead or alive, when she lies in bed at night she can't escape the voices that cry out to her. Driven by a compulsion to help those around her, Alison seeks to resolve relationships torn apart by death. When Alison's readings provoke an adverse reaction in one of Robert's own pupils, he begins to study her with the intention of writing about her work and the people she helps. But their association is thrown into crisis when Alison reveals she is touch with Robert's son."

Morse. I've seen them all about a thousand times before, but when he's at his condescending best, I just can't bring myself to change the channel.


I Claudius. I got this on DVD, fully expecting it to never live-up to HBO's Rome, but so-far, I'm hooked. OK, Derek Jacobi's daft aging prosthetics (if you can call it that) during the individual prologues betrays the series' age, but the acting is superb - Jacobi has young Claudius down to every last twitch, for instance. And Si?n Phillips' Livia! Honestly, I don't think I've ever witnessed a more accomplished bitch than her on television.


The second Swedish Wallander with Krister Henriksson. I don't know what I love more about it. The deviation from Mankell's original work or the

I love I Claudius! There was a recent Radio version on Radio 4, with Derek Jacob playing the part of Augustus. The TV series hasn't aged particularly well, but the writing and acting are so good, you really don't mind.


From sublime to ridiculous, I have to admit to enjoying Episodes.


Have recently started series 1 of Mad Men, and rather enjoying that.

    • Hopefully the Canada Geese were being culled - I'm being serious.  It's permitted
    • You might be interested in watching this video on you tube. It's from a wildlife gardener called Joel Ashton who regularly posts about his work in that area. Being interested in that kind of thing I follow him a lot. Anyway, a few days ago he posted about his plants being deliberately poisoned allegedly by his neighbour. He is going through the process of taking legal action and videoing this journey. There is another follow up which he posted a couple of days ago . It might be helpful to you. I think I should point out that the alleged culprit is not identified on the video so not breaking any privacy laws in sharing this.
