From tonight's "Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe":

'In Broadchurch 1 the mystery was "Who's the murderer?", but in Broadchurch 2 it's  "What's the point?" - which is an even bigger mystery.

I can't wait to find out what it is.'

 

 

And yes - I'm still watching too...

In spite of all the criticism from the telly box criticisers I'm enjoying this one more than the first one. Meanwhile we finished Fargo tonight. Vair good.

 

Just watching the film 'Broken' on BBC Two.

 

This looks like a serious and slightly dark film.

 

Some familiar faces in it.

 

 

I'm watchIng a very old Taggart ( Series 2 with Mark McManus) , and one of the villains in it is the guy who went on to to play DCI Burke in the last series ....its making it very confusing  

I am really enjoying this series of Broadchurch , and I reckon the defence got the right scenario last night , but the wrong suspect  

I thought this series hadn't been so good but Monday's episode was a lot better.

Broadchurch is one of those programmes that looks like i would enjoy it but never got round to watching it

The first series dragged on to long IMO Barney , with too many loose ends ,  but this one has two cases running side by side , so

I agree: I thought it was probably the strongest episode of this series so far.

Four episodes in, I'm really enjoying 10,00 BC. They're really rubbish at surviving stone-age style.  

Anyone watching Fortitude?

Not yet but I'm recording the series    Is it any good? 

Broadchurch. Guilty or Not Guilty?

The suspense is killing me!

 

Probably not guilty

ITV are gits! I knew they were gonna do it but it still annoyed me when the credits rolled! I really hope it's a guilty but can't see it being that clean cut... It will either be not guilty or if he is found guilty we will find out he's actually not in some really frustrating last scene! (Broadchurch)

As for fortitude, watched first eppy last night and I'm not gripped, I found it all a bit weird... Might give another eppy a go... But dunno if I can be bothered... It must get better... Anyone watched more than the first one?

haven't seen the first one yet Jen ... but I do intend to

 

My head is all over the place with Broadchurch, I've just read the DS review and realised that most of the important bits went whooooosh over me!!

 

Maybe they'll offer me a part in the next series

 

That's my carefully considered guess!

I'm totally confused (which I guess is the whole point) but am ever hopeful that it'll all become clear.  I'll need names and faces and a very slow explanation 'cos I'm whooshing too! 

At least I know what's happening in Wolf Hall

 

Still not watched Fortitude; reviews are a very mixed and it sounds a bit rubbish.  Then again, there's always Stanley Tucci to lure me in....

 

 

Stellar cast but I have been warned to avoid at all costs, let me know if it's a slow burner (Fortitude)..I've not watched Broadchurch yet...that is going to happen in the next 15 minutes 

Why avoid it Damesy, is it not your sort of 'thing'...?

I'm not sure it's mine tbh - sounds a bit futuristic

Good to see Vic n' Bob and House of Fools back again! Hilarious opener to the series. 

 

I'm not sure Cosi, the trailer looked really good, but anyone I have spoken too that have watched have all reached the same conclusion ,,,it's naff so far 

 

not guilty (broadchurch) ...although I haven't a clue really 

I watched  the first episode of 'The casual vacancy' - BBC1 - I was hoping that it would be as good as the book(J K Rowling), I was a bit dubious at first because the  screenplay writer's idea of the location seemed at odds with mine, and there was a whole series of small clips, which seemed unrelated,that made me frown, until I realised it was a mechanism for introducing the characters and then it just took off, I loved it and know that  the story  becomes intertwined and complex.

I'm looking forward to watching it - but they've changed bits of the book apparently - and  the ending because they thought the original wasn't quite right for Sunday night viewing... 

Yes, I had a feeling that some of what I was watching, wasn't as I remebered it, but  I expect the adaptation for tv will be as good as the book.

I'm having a hard time remebering the ending, I do remember instantly taking to the awful Crystal, such a well written character and well portrayed in the series.

Your memory's as bad as mine.  I had to google when I read that they'd changed it.. .then it all came back to me.  

 

Ahh, I'm get what you mean now   Yeah, I have a feeling that I'm going to dislike it too (hark at me writing it off before I've even seen it ).  I know what will happen...I'll record half a dozen episodes, realise that I'm running out of space due to ALL THE OTHER programme series that I'm recording....and delete the lot without watching any of it.

I've recorded The Casual Vacancy too.  As it's only 3 episodes it's got a good chance of staying safely on the "to watch" list - and then there's the 1st episode of Indian Summer (that's on series record too) to catch up on.

Which begs the question...what the hell am I watching in real time that's more interesting than any of the above?

 

I didn't want to bring this up. Hormonal youngsters like them are very entertaining though. 

 

 buddy.

Broadchurch AND The walking dead tonight! Both ended on cliffhangers last week so I'm looking forward to them.

I've just started s.2 of The Walking Dead Jen. Its very good. Hopefully I'll get through it as quickly as you did with G.O.T. 

Roger, I did the same thing with the walking dead It is frustrating when you wall caught up though cos they love their cliff hangers!

Speaking G.O.T when is it coming back??

 

My viewing tonight will be dominated by BBC Two.

 

 

20:00 University Challenge

20.30 Only Connect 

21:00 A Cock Abroad: Monica Galetti's France

 

 

 

Now tell me that's not a great Monday nights viewing 

 

 

 

9pm looks interesting 

 

Yes Jen, it's been an interesting series. A few of us have been contributing to a dedicated thread. I think it may clash with things that others watch.

 

 Yeh! its so hard going from splurge watching to waiting for weekly episodes 

 

G.O.T. is back on April 12th [U.S.] And soon as can get our mitts on it 

 

 

Oh here's the trailer for season 5:

 

  FILF! 

That's not a great Monday night's viewing 

was just about to set my recorder!

 

 Auto correct, but given how people feel about Monica it's probably quite accurate.
