The Midwich Cuckoos (Episode Three)
In which the series continues to impress. Personally I’m just hoping that this doesn’t become a series which lives or dies on the strength of its child actors. Although to be honest considering the ages involved, they’re rather good.

I just received an SMS from an English mate of mine, switched over to watch a bit of "Vintage Roads: Great And Small. Peter Davison", Peter was driving Bessie (it still has the WHO1 number plate) and he was talking a bit while driving about the transition from Tristan from "All Creatures Great And Small" to Doctor Who. Was great seeing 5 drive 3rds vehicle .

Murder, They Hope
I greatly enjoyed the previous three television films and although this’ll never be regarded as a comedy classic I think it’s good fun never the less.

Stranger Things Season 3
This season leans a little more into the tongue in cheek side of the series, which I didn’t mind but made for some tonal whiplash at the ending (glorious though the NeverEnding Story moment is, in the midst of some really dramatic moments it feels out of place, which admittedly might be the point). Still I’m enjoying the ride immensely and the many characters are handled very well.

The last tv I saw were imported US comedies on E4, which aren't going to be on E4 much longer. Time for Freeview pass-the-parcel:
which I thought was just filler material *between* the imported US comedies. (Incidentally - 'hero'?)
which I had naively assumed would be the shows people actually watched. I wonder what the ratings for E4 actually break down as?
Just to complicate matters, E4 Extra will have 4 Music's place in the channel guide, and 4 Music will move off somewhere else. Presumably this means that 4 Music will no longer show the repeats of imported US comedies that it tends to play instead of... um.. music.

Snap I seen ROTJ at cinema in 83 but hadn't seen Empire but seen A New Hope on tv so I didn't know Vader was Lukes father so that was a huge shock & I freaked out when Luke removed his mask. My cousin moaning at ending saying just leaves Vader there is poor, he keeps sending texts & bulletins about why he just left him. He's beginning to get on my nerves tbh, told him just enjoy the duel.

Ah yes the Jake Kenobi show (in which one of the main writers confidently said he never watched revenge of the sith) Only one episode left Don't get me started Disney are a joke, wish Dave Feloni was in charge of this but sadly Kathleen Kennedy & her woke agenda overseeing this show. "woke agenda" Haha, are people not embarrassed about using this phrase.

"woke agenda" Haha, are people not embarrassed about using this phrase. Nope because it exists. Only in the heads of some people. Because I have already been called a "woke socialist Nazi". This is as much as I think about people using that phrase.
Edit: I must add I have been called "woke" for defending an author who added the abnormality of a gay couple to a youth audio drama. Imagine the shock and horror.
So yeah, call me the queen of woke.

Well said. Woke, adjective: aware, especially of social problems such as racism and inequality.

OMG. 4th episode Season 3 of The Orville. OMG. This was amazing!!!! Yes, of course some people will call this "woke" again. As I said, queen of woke right here, take it or leave it. On the surface, it is just a re-hash of current US politics: Trump vs. Biden and the issue about abortion and law. But. Wow, it reminded me a lot of how TNG dealt with the different culture of the Klingons and reminded me a lot of the episodes covering the Klingon civil war. Same tone and atmosphere. Plus, Teleya is a terrific complicated character and even now, I am still unsure what to make of her. THIS is what drama and great character writing is about.
I LOVED this.
Please give them the opportunity for a 4th season. This is the kind of Star Trek and TV show people like me need to see to keep them sane.

Stories about anyone other than middle aged straight white men? The nerve! Someone fetch me my fainting couch!

ms marvel eps 1-3, heard great things about this show, don't see it myself (although i am almost 40 years past the demographic it aimed at)
i found it boring yet another dull U.S. teen drama with a super hero twist......i wont bother with any more half way through its run and it gone nowhere, nothing interesting, nothing happened.
and please disney stop making six episode series at 30 mins episode once you done with recaps and credits......

What a great week for geek TV: Amazing finale to Ob-Wan, insane but great episode of The Boys, fun and wonderful Ms. Marvel, and a terrific, laugh out loud episode of Strange New Worlds. A great week for relaxing after work.
