One to watch

For those in self isolation or anyone wanting to watch a feel good film I can thoroughly recommend getting the DVD titled 'Fishermans Friends'.

Might have to dig the box set out of that.

We've been watching Lovejoy on catch-up. Easy watching entertainment.

You're in for a treat QB....We absolutely loved GOF

If you are looking for something to fill the massive gap GOT leaves you might like to watch "Outlander"........you'll be hooked after the first episode.

Just to lower the tone - Dad's Army and Allo, Allo provide us with a bit of light entertainment. Can't be doing with anything too involved.

Stephen, Fishermans Friends has in it a song by a friend. 'Jinder'. A nice lad, he is suffering financially with cancelled gigs since this Corona business and isolation. Hard times for the self employed.

I love Outlander. I’m recording the series currently on More 4 (series 4, I think), so I can binge watch.

I got Netflix at the end of last year, so we watch quite a few things on there. We are currently on series 4 of The Last Kingdom, which is set in the time of Alfred the Great. It’s worthy as a Game of Thrones replacement. It’s very bloody, no wonder people didn’t live very long in those days.

Hi Gill…. I didn’t know I had so many emotions inside me until I watched “Outlander” it’s brought out all of them at one point or another…none more so than episode 12 season 5 “Never so my Love” which had me needing a tissue…I’ll say no more other than to say I can’t wait for series 6 :thumbup: :wave:

“Just one life more”

Hi Mob…. thanks for recommending this film…I thought the film was more thought provoking than enjoyable but true-life films of this nature generally leave me thinking this way…. Desmond Doss was certainly the bravest of them all.

Great film brilliantly directed :thumbup:
