Decline and Fall. Best comedy drama for AGES! Up there with Blandings, Ripping Yarns and Blott on the Landscape. David Suchet was superb 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 It was so good, so well acted and the actors fitted the parts very well. |

I enjoy Brenda Blethen's Vera very much. We tend to record so we can zap through the adverts. Do you lit watch this at all?

Same here, we love Vera, but the adverts are so annoying so we record it and play the following day.

(I save it and catalogue it as well, of course.) Where in flip's name does Murdoch get off, charging for his TV and showing 20+ minutes of adverts every hour as well? |

I have been watching a lot of South Park recently. I love Butters - he is such a sweet kid.  |

Ah yes, I love Butters too, so cute. Kenny is cute too. If anyone watches the Sky dramas they are scheduled for one hour episodes but when you record them and run them back minus the adverts they are just 35 minutes long. I have timed Murdoch mysteries and can watch a full episode in just over half an hour.

I said I'd do a pub quiz (of all bloody dam' things) that night, and when I told our lass she went, But... and then we looked at each other and both said The Final! I don't know how - I've watched every episode of the series - but I'd forgotten. Monkman all the way, now that Seagull and Wednesday Addams are out. |

Oh no!!!!
iPlayer to the rescue... and avoid hearing the result!
Great contestants this season I thought, and some close run scores too - very exciting.
Wednesday Addams 😁😁😁 yes, she was lovely...and damn clever!
I am always amazed at the breadth of stuff Monkman KNOWS...but the same can be said of Goldman too. I wouldn't like to call it. Far as I can tell though, everyone loves Monkman...and actively dislikes Goldman!!!!

This is grossly unfair on Goldman, but he looks like a prospective Tory minister.

Did you get back from the Quiz Night to see the UC final, then?
Monkman seemed to go all of a dither, didn't he... whereas Goldman was as focussed as ever. Great contest. When they are seated as teams,they have a lot of gravitas but it amused me that, at the presentation, when standing there looking self-conscious, they were just a group of...boys! 😄 Quaffing a little sherry together as well...daring!

I didn't see it and I don't think I will now, knowing how it turned out. (I knew before your post, by the way.) |
