We've been enjoying this show, just the banter between the three of them is enough.

Wasn't sure where to post this. Tonight we are watching an early show of 'To Catch a Thief' (1955). Cary Grant and Grace Kelly.
This reminded me of a letter sent by uncle Archie to Moe Howard. How manners and etiquette have changed over the years.


... Cary Grant is not my uncle. Just thought I'd throw that in for some interest. His real name was Archibald Leach.

Binged the first 8 of 10 episodes of "Nobody Wants This" on Netflix last night and cant wait to finish it tonight. Cleverly written, well acted and just feel good entertainment.

Was reading an article re the 20th anniversary of the debit of Veronica Mars and Kristen Bell mentioned this project. Went looking for it and was very glad I did, perfect anecdote for blocking out all the sporting nonsense at this time of year.

Just watching the last Grand Tour on Prime.

Watch The Grand Tour Season 6 – Prime Video

In their last ever Grand Tour adventure, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May ignore the instructions of Mr Wilman and head to Zimbabwe in three cars they’ve always wanted to own, a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag, for a stunning road trip through beautiful...

Ps: maybe it’s the last GT since Clarkson’s stomach won’t fit into sports cars in the future.

The other day I watched a short clip of Johnny Cash showing friends how to get into and out of a Ferrari. I won't describe it in-case you search it. Runs about 20 seconds.

This is it:-

Yes
I find them really funny and situations (although unique to their odd pairing) have broad themes we all experience… family, friendships and expectations

I like a large range of disparate programs - scandi noir to Drive to Survive

Well others too are praising it. Maybe I'll give it another try.

You definitely should.

I found it refreshing to have a show where the leads are in their 40s and own the reality of the challenges of dating and choosing happiness even when the challenges/differences seem too hard. It is very relatable if your havent been coupled up for decades and are in the 40-50 demographic.

Plus it is funny (without being stupid or crass) and Kristen Bell is a a darn good actress (Im also doing a Veronica Mars rewatch at the moment). Its been ages since there has been a decent romcom so its an under rated genre which can be great when done properly.

Great compliment to some of the more gritty dramas and docos.

Just re-watched movie on Netflix "Finding Your Feet". Nice watching something I could understand the words and was just a well crafted film.
Have made a number of false starts on series that are just so, so. Have started watching Belgium / Dutch series (subtitles) again, Ferry, The Series. Drugs, crime, Great actors and theme. You'll need subtitles. If interested suggest watching "Undercover" first, then Ferry, then Ferry The series, all on Netflix. New series coming out shortly.
