I wasn't sure after episode 1, but it gets good very quickly from then on in... and Definitely better than the "All or Nothing" documentary about Light Bulbs and recorded scousers etc...

Re: THE NORTHBANKBREN TV SHOW THREAD
Whilst the Qatari Catastrophe Corrupt Cup has been going on, I watched this Excellent Crime Drama Series based in Tokyo on BBC iPlayer (available for 5 months from November).
The story is loosely based on the memoirs of a young American Journalist who moved to Japan / Tokyo to work as a Crime Journalist on one of the countries Top Daily Newspapers.... Aaaaanyhoooo!
I can highly recommend it - only 8 Episodes... but easily binge watchable Michael Mann is part of the Exec Producers team and it shows... very slick etc. It starts off slow but with each episode it gets better ... and better...

Re: THE NORTHBANKBREN TV SHOW THREAD
I don't know if there are any other Detectorists fans out there... The BBC TV Series about a group of Detectorists etc IMO THE Best thing ever to be shown on the Beeb.
Anyhoo since watching and becoming a fan of that series, I have done a bit of reading (Yes! I can read) and then watched a film on Netflix called The Dig which is based on a book of the same title by and it is all about when the Sutton Hoo Treasure/s were first discovered and excavated just prior to WW2
Sorry I know this is long winded..but
A replica of the Viking ship uncovered at Sutton Hoo is under construction and the BBC have done an article on it..
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-64030439
Amazing!
I can Highly recommend the film "The Dig" - Ralph Fiennes acts out of his socks...and If you haven't seen The Detectorists do yourself a Huge favour and do so....

Very interesting site, they have a replica of the gold mask there and it’s a fair way inland from.the river, so I guess the landscape has changed a bit over all these years.

What did you think of the film The Dig?
Re: THE NORTHBANKBREN TV SHOW THREAD
Been streaming "life on mars" series 1, what a great show, the tongue in cheek portrayal of 70's policing, the brilliant plot to the whole series, the great performances from John Simms and Philip Glenister!
Has to be one of my all time favourite shows

A New One Off Programme on Channel 4
I cannot recommend this enough Frankie (Boyle) in his very dead pan way cuts the royal family and the very notion of royalty to shreds, to the point where whilst laughing out loud at what he says , there is also that part of you thinking Holy SHIT Did they actually let him say that on TV! And how the fuck is he not in the Tower of London awaiting execution!
Simply brilliant, especially for those who regard the Royal Family as Reptiles and the Billions they have stashed away as being an ongoing act of Thiefdom and Criminality.

Enjoy!

I was thinking the same thing, obviously some huge chunks of truth in there amongst the Scything Wit & Humour.

I'm not even a Snooker fan, but I came across this on You Tube quite by chance and it is well Funny / Entertaining: - I don't even know which game they are re-visiting as I don't watch snooker, but apparently it was a famous game ...
