Around the…..zzzzzzzz🥱

We have recorded the David Tennant version but not yet started to watch. I suspect remakes are a bit Marmite as you either love them or hate them? It was of course written by a Frenchman giving his thoughts on how an Englishman might react in such circumstances so I suppose there are options for a wide range of interpretations? Some will work and some won't, I will reserve judgement until I have at least seen some of it!!!

Final episode of the Argyll  saga tonight which will be mainly the Court Drama? Back when it happened I was only about 17 so I don't suppose I paid much attention? Its taken me a long time to catch up

Had the same affect here TDA half an hour and thought seen David Tennant in much better dramas even OH who does not watch much tv thought it boring as well.

It’s a very lavish production, and of course the costumes, sets, locations are very good. But to me, and I stress it’s a personal view, it’s let down by a very sedate and at times disjointed story. I hope you enjoy it though DK.

Have watched first episode of the Duchess drama, and this rattles along nicely. I was a mere toddler, so it’s an unknown story for me, which possibly makes it more interesting, and has certainly had me Googling for more information about the people involved, and Inveraray Castle. We drove past coming home from Mull of Kintyre the long way one holiday.  

As I said I would reserve judgement until I had seen all the episodes, we saw the last one tonight. I have to say I really enjoyed it. I thought the three main characters worked well together.

Just finished watching “Hidden Assets” on iPlayer, originally on BBC4 (where they always stick stuff with some subtitles) - Irish/Belgium collaboration - great drama.

We watched all episodes of Round the World.  It was ‘alright’ as something to watch and we enjoyed some parts, but there were some disjointed bits and some rather far fetched bits.  I know it’s a thing these days but the political correctness really doesn’t work, sorry!  It ruined ‘Darling buds of May’ with Bradley Walsh, gave that up after 2 programmes - I just doubt it would have been like that in deepest Kent in the 1950’s!  

We watched it and it was OK.

It was more to relive what was possible before the Pandemic . Eighty days would be a bit of a challenge these days 😷

We still have the last one to go but have also enjoyed it.
