I started watching Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix, but since it has now been cancelled (due to issues regarding Neil Gaiman) I can't see it's worth continuing.

I suspect no Good Omens 3 on the allegations of sexual assault against Neil Gaiman either. I do find the allegations seem to being downplayed as opposed to those against Weinstein.

Watching Nightsleeper on BBC.

Totally unbelievable and yet I can't stop watching.

Excellent fun.

We watched it for about 15 minutes, NO THANKS.

We are watching, 'Saving lives in Cardiff', which is more to our taste.

Agree. Just watching episode 4, classic line from one of the characters: "how am I going to even know when the drugs have worn off, when things like this keep happening?"

Die Hard With A Vengeance pops up on TV in Portugal so you have to watch - the concept of Jeremy Irons and Alan Rickman being German brothers is so fabulous.

We watched a film from 2012 called "The Scapegoat" on Netflix last night. It is an adaptation of a Daphne Du Maurier story which has been filmed before. It is about two men who are identical, one of whom ends up assuming the identity of the other.

It is very nicely done and stars Matthew Rhys, Eileen Atkins and Andrew Scott - to name but a few venerable actors.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will look out for when back in UK. I do love Andrew Scott's acting.

Watched 'Don't Look Up' on Netflix last night: brilliant combination of apocalyptic disaster film and political satire, with Meryl Streep, Len DiCaprio, Mark Rylance etc. A comet the size of Mt Everest is due to land in the Pacific, in what will be a "planet-killing" event.
