Just rewatched Sirens. It was really good and gently caress everyone for not watching it. All my favourite shows get cancelled

Anyone been watching The Honourable Woman? I loved the Shadow Line (by the same writer/director) so was looking forward to it, and have just realised I completely forgot it was on, and it's now three episodes in. And iPlayer seems to be hosed for some reason.

Is ep 3 any good? I love Blick but this has been hard going so far.

It's a bit boring, and they've ditched the centralized bastardry of uh... Whitehouse(?) in the Shadow Line with the more feasible arrangement of hundreds of agents, which is obviously less exciting. Other than that it seems to be TSL in the sun. Is Iplayer still hosed? I noticed the radio was broken early yesterday and assumed it'd fix itself.

Has there been any news regarding the iPlayer exclusive Adam Curtis documentary? Various sites list a July release date but I've heard nothing since.

I just finished watching through all the episodes of 8 out of 10 Cats since Jon Richardson joined the show. The episode immediately following Jimmy Carr's tax scandal was pure gold.

Yeah, Richardson is the best team two captain they've had. I assume you've seen them already but if not don't forget to check out 8/10 Cats does Countdown. Also, taking the opportunity to post my favourite Cats moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV8bVkplHc4 Ron's here.

He's really ocd, at the start he put a hat stand at one side of the stage and a table at the other, and said it was so when he got stressed he starts pacing back and forth and if he didnt have things to stop him he'd end up just walking off stage. Then in the middle of his big closing the 1st half story he stopped at a crucial part because he got distracted by the shapes the microphone wire was making on the floor.

Yeah, and they try and make all the answers begin with the series letter. And Rich Hall did another BBC4 America docu, this time about California. It... wasn't that good? In comparison to his Texas and Native American ones.

They've repeated last year's Olivia Coleman psychological thriller "The Thirteenth Tale." Well it's not really a Coleman show at all, she's limited to the main tale's framing device, showing that they've grasped the clichés of the genre if not quite how to use them. You'd think if they were going to spend money on a feature-length bit of telly they'd wait for a script that doesn't utterly botch a simple ghost story. It's mostly about creepy aristo twins and their utterly dissolute family like a cross between the Radlets in a Mittford novel and the children in Turn of the Screw. It toys with the idea of the uncanny doppelgänger for an hour before resolving it all with a revelation that might be compelling if they'd manage to ratchet any genuine tension but instead seems pat if not silly. What's worse is that the climax comes two thirds through, and so it limps on for 30 minutes more. They also spend ten minutes on an irrelevant side-plot where Olivia Coleman reveals her own sad story, presumably because they realized they'd cast Coleman and it'd be a shame to waste her. It looked nice though, well acted.

Is anyone watching The Honourable Woman? It's turning out to be a great thriller, but I'm not sure if I like it more than most due to having lived in Israel for a while while growing up.

Utopia is fantastic, I was absolutely blown away by the way they adapted the modern aesthetic to the flashback scenes at the start of series 2. Not sure how popular it is but hopefully it will be a cult hit once David Fincher gets his grubby mitts on it. edit: ^^^ ooo nice.

If you like Utopia you should probably watch Edge of Darkness, which is getting repeated on BBC4 just now. Powerfully strange 1980s' conspiracy crime/thriller, all mixed up with nuclear paranoia and slightly weird mystic aspects. It's a truly amazing drama.

Unfortunately it's not going onto iplayer, so maybe "you should have been watching" is more fitting.
