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.

 

Interesting point that I've been thinking about recently. I've been recording clashing programmes for decades now, originally using a VHS recorder. I now use a Freeview recorder box, which allows me to record two programmes at the same time. This means I record more than I used to, although I still try to watch programmes "live" whenever possible as it's the only way I can keep on top of a series (I'm sure we're all familiar with the situation where you can't watch the 3rd episode because you haven't seen the 2nd episode yet, and before you know it you've 6 episodes recorded, waiting on you watching!    )

 

This nearly happened to me recently with "Odyssey" - the Sunday broadcast clashes with "Humans", and the Monday repeat is on too late to watch live.

Tomorrow is an extreme example of programming clash: the final episode of "Humans", the final part of "Tut", the second episode of "Partners in Crime" and "Odyssey" are all on at the same time!  

I can record "Odyssey" on Monday, but assuming I want to continue watching "Tut" after tonight, there's no way I can record everything. I'm therefore going to have to resort to another technological advance and watch "Partners in Crime" on iPlayer.

 

Of course, I could simply watch less TV - yeah, like that's going to happen...

   I had exactly the same situation this morning while I was trawling the TV mag and setting my series links!   I'm recording PiC, Oddysey and Humans at 9 p.m. and I've got the second part of Tut recording on 5 + 1      (those +1 stations are a great invention too)   Sad?  Me?   I guess.....

Did you know that you can watch all of the odd episodes followed by all the even episodes and it still makes sense. 

 

 

I did not know that... Is there a relevance as to why that's the case? Or pure coincidence?

Great to see Julian Clary back!!  [ tonight, 7pm ITV ]

Nature Nuts with Julian Clary

SERIES 1 - EPISODE 1

 

The camp comic meets up with Britain’s most fanatical nature enthusiasts to share in their particular passion. So he flits about the country releasing a hedgehog into the wild (“Wonder where he’s going, Maureen? I’m thinking the Maldives!" ), christens a newborn great tit Geoffrey while trying not to crack dubious gags, and takes impressive snaps of barn owls before excitedly spotting an otter having an early-morning swim. 

He’s a slightly odd choice for an early-evening nature programme because of the inevitably saucy commentary. But perhaps remarks like “Well, it’s not the first time I’ve been taken into the woods” will go over younger viewers’ heads.

 

 

1/3. New series. The comedian meets wildlife devotees around Britain, and enlists the help of a nature documentary crew to help them record footage of their favourite animals. In the first episode, Julian meets a woman who takes care of thousands of injured hedgehogs and helps her check up on a former patient, uses cameras that can see by moonlight to observe an elusive family of badgers, and meets two `otter spotters'.

I've seen one episode and loved it, Rog;  he's a cheeky fella  

 Too right Cosi   The filfometer was off the scale...

Julian's a fantastic presenter [ how I've missed him ] so hope it gets another series!

You are so on your own chum

Meanwhile I am lusting after Larry!

 

Funnily enough, I was in London today with my big children and my son thought he saw Matthew Horn (Gavin and Stacey tenious link). So biggest daughter and I go back and take photos from a distance of ... A bloke who really doesn't look much like Matthew Horn

Finally managed to catch up with Friday's "Ripper Street", and thought it was a great episode. It not only brought a conclusion to a storyline that's been running since the first series, but also managed to bring back into focus the traumatic effect the Ripper murders would have had not just on those investigating the crimes but those around them - which was the original idea behind the series...

I'm enjoying this BBC Two programme called "The World's Busiest Railway 2015".

 

It's set in Mumbai.

 

 

This is great and mad. So many people on one train. The presenters are taking their lives into their own hands getting on!

 

40 degrees on the carriage!

 

The station itself is quite an amazing place.

 

OOH !   It's a series 1 of 4. Great this is one worth watching again.
