I created a list for people at work which might be useful for you: https://www.notion.so/markfresh/0232e1bcfe8041c4bbd65e77398c2cfc?v=ea658129a51d4f7893795ddbbbd315d3


I've just finished Call My Agent which was tres bien.

Currently watching the new series of Marcella aka Anna Friel, troubled again.

I really enjoyed Ted Lasso on Apple TV (I got a free trial). It's about an American football coach who's put in charge of a premier league football team and has to win everyone around. It shouldn't work but it does - sort of a heartwarming family comedy, but with lots of swearing.

Rebecka Martinsson on 4 and I like Great Pottery Throw Down although perhaps not hugh brow enough for this thread :) Watched both series of All the Sins (also on 4)recently but not sure whether I enjoyed them. Watched first one and a half episodes of The Serpent but couldn't get into it.


Just seen the Laurel and Hardy film is on BBC, didn't see it on release so may give that ago.

I loved A Discovery of Witches. It was, maybe still is, on Sky 1 and also on the catch up Sky channel. It's like a more adult-oriented Buffy, I'd say, with undertones of social justice (but not unsubtle, thankfully) and good twists.

On BBC4 via iPlayer try The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.

Also, Valhalla Murders on iPlayer was good.

Dalgleish on Channel 5 - kind of went under the radar of the media I think. Three two-parters that have finished now but you can probably catch up. Set in the early seventies and starring Bertie Carvell with great sideburns and an E-Type. Not what I was expecting of Channel 5 at all really.

I was late to BBC4's Paris Police 1900 series in their regular Sat night foreign series slot, so have been playing catch-up on iPlayer, imagine the offspring of Spiral and Peaky Blinders.


They're currently showing Stieg Larsson's Millennium series (Girl with the dragon tattoo etc), also worth watching...

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
