I will persevere as I iron shirts.

I quite liked Saoirse Ronan in it, but from what I remember the best thing about the film was the Chemical Brothers soundtrack...

 

I stopped watching it and switched over to a doc about drugs smuggling into Europe.

 

I was interested in the soundtrack as I saw it in HMV the other day for ÂĢ5.99 so was listening so as to determine e if it is a purchase or not.

 

TBF it's not a good idea for me to start watching a film when I have to get up at 6am. I don't fully concentrate on it as I'm getting things together for work.

 

I think I will give the film another go as they will repeat it on Film4.

More4 on Tuesdays, I think   Definitely repeated though during the week....

Great Canal Journeys.

It's a docu about Timothy West and Prunella Scales and their trips along various UK canals.  It's not exactly taxing or high drama but it's a nicely gentle tv show with a little bit of personality thrown in.  

I like it; and it doesn't make me grumpy

 Great description

The Shetland programme is making me want to take a trip to Scotland for a short break. I've been to Edinburgh three times but always a flying visit.

 

As we have lots of Scottish FM's on here has anyone got any recommendations for a long weekend? I'm guessing that golf would probably need to be factored in although it's not a 100% pre requisite.

I haven't read the posts, so kick me if I repeat something but has anybody watched The Plantagenets on BBC2? I'm a total history buff and this series is fantastic. I thought I knew quite a bit about British history, but boy was I wrong. It all starts to make so much more sense as well. Great programme, great entertainment.

 

Edit: As for Shetland, bloody brilliant.

Troon on the west coast is good for golf, but if you really want to see the best of Scotland you need at least a week going to the Western Highlands (and maybe cross over to Skye). God's own country.

And yeah, it makes me smile  

 Feel good tv

I must watch out for that programme. 

Yeah, a lot of TV for me is on in the background lately with the sound down. 

 

There's very little I watch in real time

Yes its great Cologne - the presenter really pulls it all together. I knew some of the names but had no idea where exactly they fitted into history, or how the regions in france were relevant etc.

Yes I'm enjoying the Plantagenets ............never knew how the name came about until I saw this. I feel incredibly ignorant TBh - I only really knoe from the Tudors onwards - whenever I go to France and there's mention of the Anglo/French history I have to admit to being a bit of a dummy. This series is putting everything in place. I caught the end of the Robin Hood film (2010) with Russell Crow **swoon** on TV last night - I understood it a bit better.

 

Shameful to be so ignorant of our own country's history
