Been watching it for a couple of years. Great fun in the British tradition of meaningless inanity
There is a NZ version coming out next year which if it is Jeremy Corbett, Guy Williams, Ursula Carlzon etc doesn't bear thinking about
I like how NZ TV are making targeted shows solely designed to offend @jegga .

I expect after that, they can almost use the same headline again...

@dogmeat yeah I've known of it for a couple of years but never really bothered to watch it. We happened to sit down and watch episode 1 of season 7 a couple of months ago. We're now up to date...
Rose Matafeo is in the latest season.
@Snowy get a VPN, it's on Dave over here so uktv network, free to air.

@RLx31 Finished Marrianne, watched the last 4 episodes with subs and it was much improved. Really good watch, genuinely scary. Interesting ending alright!

I just read they are killing off Guy Williams show and cutting 7 days back to 12 episodes. I see that as a win even though I never watch them .

Guy Williams has a show! Of his own - as in a vehicle for his..... talent?!
Truly the end of days
Had a show .
To think people laughed at him when he was a kid and said he wanted to be a comedian, well no ones laughing now are they ?I think I’ve posted that before , don’t care because Guy Williams.

Watched the first episode of the BBC's "The War of the Worlds" - one of my favourite books - with Eleanor Tomlinson & Rafe Spall in lead roles.
Great period detail, but that's about all. Wooden acting, a script which is appalling bad and laughable in places, and CGI/effects lifted badly from Spielberg's 2005 version. Martian tripods are particularly poor - even laughable.
Mrs Meldrew described it as "Poldark Meets The Martians" and she isn't far wrong. Hope it gets better in Ep 2.
-
@Victor-Meldrew yea was disappointing, TV1 billed it as 'big budget', so assuming (hoping) it was spent in ep2?
Expect better from BBC.
Poldark sucks arse (well the last 2 seasons anyway)
Finished Pennyworth - was a decent watch, although seems they were struggling with it being between the darker make believe world of Gotham and Batman, and the real world.
I liked the guy who played Alfred, although probably a bit young for the veteran SAS he is supposed to be - probably what James Bond would be like if played by (a young) Michael Caine

I don't.
In the last few years and much of the stuff they churn out is rubbish considering their guaranteed mega-budget. Perhaps that's the cause.
Poldark sucks arse (well the last 2 seasons anyway)
Next season: "Ross Poldark discovers a strange Martian cylinder in Wheal Leisure....."
-
@Victor-Meldrew while he and George Warleggans argue over ownership of said Martian cylinder, and Ross's pigheadedness ensures they can give whatever the current storyline is, more legs!
Ah ok, ordinarily I think BBC stuff is well done, but then I havent watched as much over the past few years.

Can't think of much "must watch" BBC stuff in the last few years TBH. Nothing edgy, just safe costume dramas - nothing like Luther or The Hour.

@Victor-Meldrew line of duty? Dublin Murders is decent so far. The Capture was decent.
