It was so funny and a fantastic cast too. Something that we all watched together and that's becoming an increasing rarity :(

Child of our Time is back on tonight. 9pm BBC1.

The children are now 16 and apparently are drinking less, smoking less and having less s*x than their parents' generation... I bet they have more screen time though!

No doubt! I used to be fascinated by this program. I am not so sure how ethical it is to have such a detailed insight into the children's lives, though.

Just as well :lol:

Is anyone watching Line of Duty? The 1st and 3rd series were sheer brilliance IMO. I'm not sure about this series although the dialogue/acting is razor sharp as usual.

Not too keen on decline and fall, not as funny as I had hoped but the Line of Duty, wow. Last night's episode was great, one week is too long to wait to find out what happened.

I know but desperately hoping I'm wrong. So many twists and turns. I can just about hold onto the plot! The hour whizzes by.

Did anyone watch Big Little lies? Sky Atlantic, still on catch up. I loved it!
I saw an interview with Nicole Kidman where she said that all the women created the project as they were fed up with the roles they were getting. Wonderful performances.
