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.

    • The empty shelves is well reported, but the sewage smell has been awful for weeks if not months, and just keeps getting worse. It started off near the Costa machine/ behind the delivery and collections booth thing, but now it hits you the second you walk in the store. I’m amazed nothing (visibly at least) appears to be going on to fix it. Somewhat relieved it’s not just me who can smell it!
    • Andy Burke has done 2 plumbing jobs for us in the last few weeks and we highly recommend him. His number is 7983 688 451.
    • I presume the terrapins originally came to the park as unwanted pets. It seems to be fairly common for people to dump them in park ponds etc when they realise they don't stay the small size they were when they bought them.
    • Same reason that M&S's shelves were half empty recently. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/apr/30/co-op-forced-to-shut-down-part-of-it-system-after-hack-attempt?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
