OK admit it, how many of you have just tried a Russian accent?

Exactly - unless it's cocktail hour.....then the rules don't apply 

I didn't do it as well as Joanna  

cocktails are different... vodka goes with everything 

I know a lot of Bulgarians (it's all the same innit?);  it's not the most friendly sounding language.... 

I'll do the vodka and pass on the ballet 

Looks magnificent - one day  . . .

Darlin'...if you do the vodka there's no way you could even think about doing the ballet, and we both know it  

That's why I love these types of programme. Not only do you get some stories but the scenery is magnificent.

What gets me is the sheer size of that country... and I think going from Sheffield to Slough is a long way.

that is so true me lovely 

My cousin did this....I don't think she would do it again though, I needn't ask 

I would need a three month long fully guided tour with English speaking guide with me every day.

The history, the vastness - overwhelming

I wonder if you could hire a guide for the duration?

68 and she's still very beautiful 

Very enjoyable.

Thanks for the company everyone.

Thoroughly enjoyed that - well done, Jo  Now, back to Stockwell until the next time (hopefully).

 fantastic programme

Joanna Lumley is rather wonderful

ditto 

I recorded Joanna this week.... (loved last week's - totally impressed with the Genghis Khan monument - that face! and scared by the Russian soldiers on the train) 

I watched the second last 'Humans' ... I've loved this series and can't wait for the finale.  

She sure is Saint 

I really enjoyed it.

p.s. how good would it be if Patsy and Edina did the Trans Siberian Express!! The vodka on tap! The dodgy shamans! Right up their street lol 

What are we watching tonight then?

Fake or Fortune  

But Ripper Stfeet is back on Friday.....BBC1 9 O'clock  

I'm just watching "How to get a Council House" 

Oooo what is that on ?

A recording of Nigel Slater's Simple Suppers.

Found it  

Sorry Baz, I was in kitchen munching 

So ok....I'm munching too  

Tattoo fixers is on next but I will be in bed. 

I know How about we both record it and we can watch it tomorrow? 

She's not doing herself any good !!

A good idea except that I don't have a recording device at the moment  Although I can watch it on 4OD (just checked). 

Ok....shall we do that then ? When you are ready to watch come and grab me in the Darnies ....or the Crib .

Will do Baz 

Stuff to do for tomorrow now, catch you tomorrow 

£250 a week for housing benefit  

Ok ....nite nite EC  

Having now caught up with tonight's Street episode we resumed watching the Cordon series. Half way through! Then we have something called Odyssey. Who knows what that will be like? Still lots of Sopranos, Boardwalk and House of Cards. Haven't even glanced at the new Bloomsbury lot.

A wet summer of binge watching approaches.

I'm loving Odyssey, Joe - think you might like it.  

Humans is really good! Just catching up

Finally up to speed with "Odyssey"!

Also enjoying the French thriller "Witnesses" on C4.

Glad to hear that - I've been recording, but haven't started watching it yet.  

Technology has totally changed how we watch telly, hasn't it.  I set the Tivo to record things I fancy at the start of the week - some nights I don't bother watching any telly and when I switch it on, it's normally to watch something from the planner, rather than 'live' (unless it's something like BB/Bake off/Masterchef.
