This was a film I'd thought of going to see before CV19. It was released on Sky a few days ago. It was a beautifully made, not quite Space Odyssey, but it was well crafted and effects in space were so nicely done that they were seamless. Well worth a couple of hours of your time.

I saw it at the cinema and didn't enjoy it at all.
I am a huge fan of 2001 and most things sci-fi but felt it to be cold and a bit unrealistic in places (with regards the characters). Left the cinema totally underwhelmed and from the comments from some others there, several others felt the same.
But, hey, if its on Sky, give it a go. It won't cost you any extra!

May watch 2001 now. ;-)....

I would love a few other of Clarke's books to be filmed.
I can think of Rendezvous with RAMA, The Light of Other Days, and of course 2069 which would be quite an adventure film.
I didn't realise that "Deep Impact" was very loosely based on "The Hammer of God" but was changed so much that Clarke didn't get credit.
|
|
I had the very same thought about Rama. That was an awesome book. Still got my copy. May go hide in the garage and read it ! :-)

My son has got in to this.
Made an astute observation:
The whole thing is an advert for socialised healthcare: If they had a National Health Service in the USA none of Walter's actions would have been necessary and the body count would have been much lower!

Hide behind the sofa stuff.
Nice thriller!

Just finished watching this on Netflix, I enjoyed it, obviously set up and sold as a GoT type mega hit, doesn't quite hit the mark in that sense but still a good way to some time watching the tv.
The locations are very well chosen, give a good impression that they on the plains of Mongolia/N China, lots of big sweeping camera shots, quite obviously a very big budget.
Unfortunatley, the show didn't get the viewing figures so there's a bit of a cliff hanger, it remains just that. The expected 3rd series was cut due to the poor viewing figures and very high costs, second only to GoT, so I read anyway.

1946. David Niven and Kim Hunter
Amazing film for its time and one of the top 100 best British films.
On BBC Iplayer until 7th October (on Sky but should be on the web based one as well).
|
|
Special film. One of my top ten.

Certainly one of my favourites.
The cinematography alone is excellent.

Was on T.V the other night - very interesting, about the birth and development of the 747 - who knew the very first one couldn't fly when it was unveiled to the world!
followed by "how to build a Trent Engine" - The engineering that goes into just a single turbine blade is mind-boggling!

Interview with John Hutchinson on the Boeing 747
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhgDe-robhM
also re Concorde crash
Several programmes on TV.
The offical French report says it was the piece of metal on the runway caused it.
Now a summary of a British Airways Concorde captain.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqOcYhzWUZY
I prefer the British analysis. Rules and regulations have been developed for safety and survival.
Captain Brian Owen Walpole OBE, FRAeS is a pilot who was the General Manager with responsibility for Concorde with British Airways.
He was grounded ( untill retirement) by British Airways for landing a transatlantic Concorde at Heathrow with 25 minutes of reserve fuel remaining, instead of 30 minutes of reserve fuel. Walpole had the option to divert to Shannon airport to refuel, but had not done so.

Des - the story of Dennis Nilsen, the mass murderer, who would meet men in bars and cafes, take them back to his flat, kill them, have sex with them, both before and after death, cut their bodies up, then either burn them or flush them down the toilet.
Des is played by David Tennant. Three parter, first part tonight on ITV, then tomorrow and Wednesday.

So far, so very well done.

I'm sure that Lud recommended this book to me some years ago. Now a TV drama - looks good.

Excellent cast -David Morrissey is superb as is Charles Dance.

Not really a "As seen on TV" topic -yet! - but not worth a "stand-alone" thread of it's own, I think.
Filmed in my hometown, last December, featuring our Town and surrounding area's! the pub scenes are filmed in my local! " The Devon" - hence where my C4P handle originated from!
Link to the youtube trailer!
New Britflick film called Righteous Villians coming out this year, made at Duddon Villa in Millom last December.
Lots of local locations used and local people hired too.
Savvas D Michael is known as the british tarantino, funded by SonyFilms.

Walked into the village store this morning, to be greeted by a TV film crew complete with a "celebrity".....

That sounds like the start of a joke, "and the celebrity said..."

The new Van der Valk series is very good. Worth a look if police-type shows are your thing.
Not a lot like the original, Marc Warren is considerably more convincing then Barry Foster, and this Van der Valk is somewhat more gritty and tortured than the last. I enjoyed it a lot.
Funnily enough I found it on Masterpiece Theatre in Tampa Bay last night when I was dicking around with watching foreign TV, but I have now located the entire season. I say "entire", it's three 'feature length' episodes. They are making a second season when the apocalypse passes.
I miss 'Eye Level', purely from a nostalgic point of view.

you need to relook at the original, makes the new one look badly cast.

>> you need to relook at the original, makes the new one look badly cast.
I did, albeit only 5 minutes or so. I didn't feel that it had aged very well. Almost as badly as me.
|
|
Our Dutch friend was over this summer (he was born in Amsterdam) - he was laughing out loud at the original series, he recognised the streets (and canals) of the city but the accents of the actors had him very confused ! Loved the programme in the 70s - including of course, Eye Level. I have the single !
|
I used to work in Breda and at that time I had a Dutch girlfriend. I made the mistake of watching the old Van der Valk with her.
Not appreciated, would about sum it up.

Mrs B spotted this gem on I Player for BBC Alba. Repeats of soap set on the Isle of Lewis done in Gaelic with English subtitles.
All the standard soap ingredients; a pub, shop/garage with a sharp tongued woman as proprietor, a n'er do well character always up to no good, faked illness and implausible accidents/disasters and in the most recently shown episode a two timing copper caught with one woman on his bed, doe-eyed in a dressing gown, when the other turns up at the door.
I'd normally run a mile from soaps but......
Filmed on location so Mrs B and I enjoy the 'spot the place thing' and as it originally aired in the nineties there's quite a bit of nostalgia for cars, brands the old ferry etc.
Part written by Peter May who has subsequently made the Hebridean murder/mystery genre his own.

What? You mean a station aimed at English speaking people based largely within England?
It's called the BBC.
The others are not substitutes or alternatives, to the main service, they're additional to cover gaps missed by the main service.

Got a phone call from my old mum this afternoon to say that ETTC was on telly, featuring Giggleswick. A couple who wanted to move to t’ Dales. So I downed tools, popped inside, and lo and behold this couple were looking around my next door neighbours house...Immediately behind me up the hillside. Shots were over their fence into my garden and views of my house.
Filmed in June 2019 apparently. First I knew of it.
They didn’t buy the house, a bungalow with extensions at both ends ( the roof looks odd because of new tiles at each end instead of stripping the tiles, having old on one elevation and new on the other) but it did sell later. Then was taken off the market as the owners couldn’t find anywhere to move to.
|
>>ETTC was on telly, featuring Giggleswick
Aisle hafta watch that on the iplayer - I usually record 'em but haven't wired up a sat dish for my Humax yet (only bin 'ere 6 weeks!)
I might even dust orf my Panasonic VCR. I haven't actually used it yet, bought it on eBay for 50 notes 2 years ago :)
|
LL, I have just caught it on iPlayer.
Looks a fabulous location you’ve got there!
|
It was exactly what I wanted. Whilst in rented after a spot of unpleasantness I spent 15 months looking for somewhere within an hours driving commute of work. That’s an extensive area.
I must have looked at 20 properties...criteria was a modern stone built box after 15 years with a large Edwardian money pit in a rubbish, area despite outstanding views and a half acre of land.Every house I’ve owned has had long range views of hills so that was number 2 criteria after commuting time. Other criteria were walking distance to shops, good local pubs ( darts, doms, pool teams) and good transport links ( a rail station, or two, within walking distance)
I knew I was going to buy the place as soon as I pulled up outside it 20 years ago. Full asking price. No offers. Even though it was still a building site at the time...only 12 properties on the cul de sac. Never regretted it for a split second, nor do I ever take that view for granted.
|
Just caught up with the this, lovely part of the world. Used to go there on holiday with family years ago, not been back in a long time. I should one day.
Nice house BTW LL.
|
>>taken off the market as the owners couldn't find anywhere to move to.
Sold STC: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-73444401.html
|
Interesting. Yes, that’s my neighbour behind me. Previously SSTC with a different agent, then taken off the market as they couldn’t find anywhere to move to.
I’d no idea it was for sale again...I walk past regularly on an evening stroll and no ‘For Sale’ sign in evidence.
Well spotted
|
>> Interesting. Yes, that’s my neighbour behind me
There's some excellent value for money in your neck of the woods, LL. Nice pubs, too...

Yes, but the neighbours...

I looked at many properties once we had a buyer, 'it came to pass' that quite a few owners wouldn't even start looking at properties until they had a buyer for theirs.
Some are still on the market now 6 months down the line. Some were/are shielding of course.
The 80+ year-old woman who we bought this ice house (LPG!) from was shielding too ... but she went out on the day we had the viewing.
The owse market is still strong here in Cornwall, as it is up where you are. I'm almost tempted to 'bung' it back on the market with the top estate agent (Lillicrap Chilcott) down 'ere and see what I could get forrit :)

I think it's slowing down from what I've seen, mind you it was never going to continue on at that rate. No doubt varies on which region you're in though.

>>many didn't want to disappointed after finding a house they wanted and then it be sold before they could make an offer.
Buying property is a PITA really, anyone can make an offer on a property, and pull out right at the last moment. One olde cottage I looked at in St Neot (Bodmin Moor) had a 'sitting' tenant and I wasn't told until we went to see it, that she had an 18 month contract with the owner!
I was prepared to rent the property 'til we exchanged contracts, but it turns out she was shielding too. We wore our face muzzles, but when it came to removing our shoes before entering the property, we gave it the elbow.
The property, called Jericho :) remained on the market for months, gawd knows how many people traveled miles (like us) and wasting their time to view it.
It obviously never sold, and was taken orf the market eventually.
>>I think it's slowing down from what I've seen, mind you it was never going to continue on at that rate. No doubt varies on which region you're in though.
Still quite crazy down here, although many (and I know the market well) properties remain sold STC but not completed after many, many months.

We're in the same boat, put an offer in and accepted but every step in the process is taking far longer than normal.

My wife works for a solicitors in St Austell (still furloughed!!) she says what with the period of lockdown, Covid, and Rishi's stamp duty holiday (saved us £7250) her conveyancer is rushed orf her feet.

They're at it again, this time on electric Harley Davidsons and riding the 13,000 miles from the tip of South America to LA. - Watched the first few episodes last night. Great evening's entertainment - new episodes this coming Friday. Apple TV.
|
|
Tom Hanks, usually infallible as a producer, writer or actor. Not so with Greyhound. Based on the book "The Good Shepherd" by CS Forester, it was, no doubt, a technical wonder. Not a patch on The Cruel Sea Mr Hanks.
|
|
Disappointing film, mostly cgi, and pretty poor cgi at that.
|
|
Pity, looked quite good in the trailers.
|
I saw a great episode of Scooby Doo the other day (the 2010 episodes, which turn out to be quite clever and have jokes only adults will get), where after they'd unmasked the baddie they said "but how did you make yourself appear to fly?".
And he said "CGI kids, it's all CGI these days."
I liked that.
|
Just in case one member here is interested, and is able to get the iPlayer (?), then Palin's Pole to Pole has just been repeated, so all the episodes are there. The last, just shown, is partly Chile, so if memories/views of Santiago from the early nineties are at all interesting, there you go.
|
|
Thank you, I'll give it a go.
|
|
Just finished watching it the other day. Really good, always enjoyed Palin's travel shows.
|
Watched it when bored. An alternative history of the race to the Moon. Strangely compelling with some good effects and assumptions. Great Sound track.
|
Finished watching it yesterday on iplayer, a really good insight. Plenty of people who were in and around his first term in office giving some interesting tales of what it's like in the white house. John Bolton being the highest name they got who agreed to be interviewed, had some interesting views on Trump's foreign policy ideas.
Worth watching.
|
>> First term??

Yes it's his first term.

Everyone may already know this, so apologies if so.
If you don't normally watch Talking Pictures, then you won't be subscribed to their weekly newsletter.
Which means you won't see the list of "shorts" they put out at odd hours, because those aren't listed anywhere else, such as listings magazines etc. They usually are about 15 to 30 minutes max.
I see this week there are a couple of shorts that might interest people here - one about Mercedes, one about a fuel efficiency race in the fifties. Also a couple of others on other topics that look interesting to me. And loads that look appalling, obviously.
Anyway, in case, here's this week's list, and if you want more for the future, you'll need to go to their website and sign up for the email.

Excellent channel - used to trawl it daily during lock-down 1. Recorded a number of things, some still remain to be seen. Didn't know that you'd be able to sign up - thanks for that. There's a fair amount of dross on it, but there's a good number of pearls there as well.

I miss TP. Haven't found a way to see it on the Fire sticks.
|
You won't be delighted to hear I also wanted to stream it on a Firestick, for reasons. Didn't find a way.
|
I don't know how these Firestick things work. Can't you just turn your telly on and watch channel 81?
Obviously not.
|
Not. They show you Amazon movies and tv. If you want other stuff like the iplayer, channel 4, Netflix and so on, then you install a free app, one for each.
There is no app that lets you see Talking Pictures.
|
You could sideload Kodi onto it. Dont know if Kodi has talking pictures TV.
You not pointing at a mast that carries Mux 6?
|
>> You not pointing at a mast that carries Mux 6?
Is that aimed at me? If it is, I don't understand why you're asking, sorry. If it isn't, never mind.
|
|
it was and it was because you said you couldnt
|
Ah, do you mean that if Kodi can go on a Fire stick and if it supports Talking Pictures and if you have something or other I don't have pointing at some mux or other then you can, in fact, watch Talking Pictures on a fire stick? Is that right?
In which case, thanks for the info, but as I have Virgin cable tv, I don't have anything that points to any muxes, and wouldn't be inclined to set up such a thing.
But I don't understand what Kodi needs a mux for, surely it's nothing to do with a tv signal over the air?
I think there may be two sticks here, and I've got the wrong end of one of them somewhere.
|

No now you are cojoining stuff together to make other stuff.
Duncan asked "Cant you just tune to Channel 81" Where TPTV is
YOu said no. As TPTV is available on VTV I assumed you were on freeview with no TPTV access.
So the question is, why cant you watch TPTV on VTV
As for firestick you can sideload Kodi onto Firestick, but I dont know if Kodi carries TPTV, but I have no idea why you dragged TPTV with poor old Firestick into the argument in the first place.
|
I misunderstood Duncan's question. I thought he was asking if a Fire stick allowed you to watch channel 81. Hence all the babbling.
Mea culpa.

My favourite iteration of MasterChef starts a new series tonight. I always enjoy the skills test bit where the contestants are asked to perform a relatively straight forward task by Monica Gillespie and often screw it up. it always seem to be the ones whose claimed ambition is to open a high end restaurant who can't make an omelette.
Greg Wallace must have made a fortune out of this franchise

Miss Z fills my Sky Q box with every cooking show imaginable.
I think she's trying to tell me that I need to up my cooking game!
|
>>I think she's trying to tell me that I need to up my cooking game!
Grouse or Pheasant?
|
I like the new Tesco's "No Naughty List" ad.
Simple and funny.
|
|
For those with Netflix... I've watched three out of seven of the above and am quite enjoying it.
|
We decided to revisit this , having watched it when originally broadcast. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it and it's nearly as good the second time, even the bits I remember.Also quite funny in parts.
Some of the later Scandi-noir has been rubbish but this one stands out.
|
That's one of my favourites and is quite high on our list of ones to re-watch.
The bloke from it (Martin?) also turned up in Killing Eve which we enjoyed and will watch again sometime.
Trapped was another good on. (Icelandic IIRC)
|
|
Well at least during this year of covid we got some new Montalbano's!
|
|
Sofia Helin plays a brilliant part.
|
If interested, James May has a new show on Amazon Prime called Oh Cook. I'm not really into cooking shows but I do like James as a presenter, and I've enjoyed them.
Of course they aren't really like any cooking show you've seen before.
|
Watched the first one. James May is an amiable chap to watch and this was an easy way to pass half an hour. His last series on Japan was quite good too.
|
|
Binge watched the series in a couple of days, as good as the other ones, excellent. GA is very good as Thatcher.
|
|
Up to episode 4 tonight. Brilliantly and beautifully crafted...That scene with the Wessex was brilliantly filmed.
|
Just finished episode 6
Concur re the Wessex scene.
The whole thing must cost an absolute fortune to make.
It doesn't portray Maggie in a good light at all, unlike James Callaghan who was portrayed very warmly.

|
"Yes, Prime Minister", Tuesday. Brilliant satire, wonderfully written. They can't make them like that any more.

I have Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister on DVD. Never re-watched it all but we did watch the 1st series of Yes Minister a couple of months back and plan to watch the rest over time. it is really very good.

Ditto, I know the gist of most of the episodes, and its fantastic to take a current political event, or news, and find the episode thats has this it covered, and you suddenly realise there is nothing new in politics.

Hope ALDI have a sense of humour,

If you don't normally tune in to BBC Scotland you might not have caught this one. Very gentle, pretty pics, two mates exploring wilderness Scotland in various ways.
Relaxing stuff. We like it.

See Sarah Beeny managed to secure planning permission for the building of her 'stately home' in the middle of a field in the middle of no where. Don't suppose 'celebrity' status and the presence of a film crew at the planning meeting had any influence on their decision.
