Continuing with Good Omens. I definitely love the small cameos of actors we have all come to love, like Mark Gatiss, Derek Jacobi and even Dan Starkey. And I really like how close the series keeps to the book. I am still not really on-board with the decision to have Tennant play Crowley like the 10th Doctor. Crowley is a great character in his own right! However, of course I understand why this decision was made and I guess many fans will be happy that the 10th Doctor is finally ginger (even if he wears strange contact lenses). Otherwise, acting is great and there really is not much to complain about when you loved the book. How have I missed this until now? Not for much longer... (I've never read the book but the scenario appeals and so does the cast!) It is great! Not sure how well people can follow if they do not know the book (some critics were not exactly happy with the story, but I think some of the criticism comes from them being unfamiliar with Terry Pratchetts style; for example, this TV series also includes some of his famous "footnotes"). If you like it, I can also recommend the book wholeheartedly.

Hello again.
Years and Years Episode 6:
Well. What a ride. A thought-provoking final episode. Russell really putting his thoughts about 2019 out there. Interesting, great characters brought to life by an excellent cast,a well-told story that will stick in my mind.

Hello again.
My favourite Stephen Poliakoff series are The Lost Prince and Shooting the Past. He has a drama on BBC1 and Iplayer at the moment called Summer of Rockets.

Started on the Tick. Just needed something silly and fun to watch. I think this fits the bill.

The Sarah Jane Adventures was included with Amazon Prime when I started watching it. Now it's asking me to pay. Time to find another source to watch the rest of the show. I object when streaming sites play this kind of bait and switch game.

Hello again.
How annoying Ela. Sarah Jane Adventures is classic CBBC series. My children and I really enjoyed it. Except Day of the Clown, have you seen that one? Brrrr...creepy. Hope you find another source. We managed to find them on Ebay. Which is your favourite episode so far?

Torchwood: Miracle Day (season 4)
I didn't care for it much when it first aired, and on a second viewing it falls even shorter. This series of the show had an interesting premise, a good cast, and a bigger budget, yet the scripts, cinematography, editing, and music all fell somewhere between "meh" and "ugh".

Still could have two to three episodes cut form it. Would be nice if they sorted the rights issues

Just watched the first episode of Adam Adamant Lives! in preparation for listening to the Big Finish audio series 😊It’s very stylish and suspenseful and Adam oozes debonair sexiness! I am wondering if Austin Powers was inspired by this show? The sequence where he is frozen in the Edwardian era and wakes up in 1966 and wanders around London was uncannily similar to the opening of the first Austin Powers movie! Also getting some definite Doctor Who vibes not surprisingly considering Sydney and Verity’s involvement. Adam also reminds me a lot of Three specifically with the debonair gentlemen attitude. He also looks just like David Tennant, so it feels like a weird mashup of Ten and Three thrown into a blender and comes out as a weird Ten/Three hybrid!😄Georgina also does feel like a classic Doctor’s companion as well, especially the way their relationship is more parent/mentor and child/student than romantic. I’m definitely carrying on with this show!

Continuing with the Tick (the new prime one). It is getting better and better. And just had a very laugh out loud moment (at least for me), with the villain shouting out: "Alexa, play some ominous music!" You got to adapt to the times, even as a villain.
