Watching on ABC even as I type.

I am really enjoying this new series 8 and liking the new character played by the woman who played Agatha Raisin. Up to ep 2.

ABC currently showing S7 - not 8
Binge has all including new S8 eps 1 and 2 with weekly drop Friday nights
You have lots to look forward to coming up

Well..........ABC said it was an all new series. But I guess we are all used to the ABC stretching the truth. You can tell I am not an avid watcher.

I'm not sure I want to watch it without Perez and with Duncan in gaol.

The storyline works really well and its surprisingly good without him.

Good to know, but I'll have to wait for ABC to catch up.

I enjoyed watching a 4 part mini series on Brawn GP, quite interesting.

It is new to ABC, but not the newest ... This is standard advertising for ABC.
They are just advertising a brand new season of All Creatures Great and Small, but it isn't. The newest season is currently on Britbox.

I see Fargo is advertised as back on SBS on Wed night

It's "new to the ABC or SBS". Doesn't mean it's the very latest series. But, Australian stations are getting better. We used to have to wait for 12-18 months for a "new" series.

Looking forward to this.

Slow Horses, season 3, review: so brilliant you'd be silly not to get an Apple TV+ subscription

It's clever, it's fun, it features a marvellously greasy Gary Oldman swearing at his MI5 colleagues – and it deserves a much bigger audience

It was interesting chatting to Mick Herron on my literary cruise last year. A number of people asked him why didn't the BBC do the series and he said it was because they weren't interested (he added they are now very keen). I'm a bit of Mick Herron fan - such a lovely intelligent guy

Slow Horses: it’s wild how good Gary Oldman’s spy thriller is

From its cast of acting royalty – Kristin Scott Thomas! – to the excellent dialogue, this drama just whizzes by. It’s a hugely fun, totally charming watch that gets everything right

Looks like one series I will be happy to miss.

Faraway Downs review – Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman play two of the worst characters ever

Baz Luhrmann’s six-part adaptation of his bloated 2008 film Australia is … even more bloated. It’s clumsy, confused, borderline exploitative and totally lacking a good story. Enjoy!

I thought the original movie was ghastly so this sounds worse!
