Just watched the latest Celeb Gogglebox on All4 catch-up, and realised I didn’t know who half the Celebs were. I’m getting old and out of touch…

At least I now know I can’t watch the One Question quiz. Sounds an interesting idea, but the insufferable Claudia Winkelman presents so I’m out. The Big Boys drama looked like it might be worth a watch, though.

The Undeclared War- series about a GCHQ intern and cyber warfare between Russia and Britain. Slightly dumb at times but also quite eerie. Could do with a couple more episodes.

Started this is us because a mate recommended it. Only a few eps in and enjoying the concept but the dialogues a bit cringe

Alone (Netflix)- pretty decent but also basic thriller about a woman who is stalked while travelling.

Prey - the new Predator film.

Not bad. But not great.

Possibly one of the better Predator films (although no way near the legendary original). Once you get past the usual moral lecture on the inherent evilness of white men and toxic masculinity, and suspend all belief that a slight young female is the strongest in the group, it's a decent survival story.

Blown Away on Netflix. Very entertaining glass blowing art competition. It's smashing.

We've just upgraded from Sky+ to Sky q and it's going to take about a fortnight to get used to it as it is a completely
different way of doing things, programming wise.

Thirteen - Good film that's worth watching.

It's the story of the young Thai football team and their coach, who get trapped in a flooded cave system. The Thai authorities fail to solve the conundrum but are thankfully saved by white British men and their toxic masculinity. So it gets a thumbs up from me.

I watched Boiling Point the other night. Utterly fantastic, great performances, especially from Stephen Graham. Shot like a single continuous take.

Nah. Despite the film's attention to detail, that particular contribution by an African was sadly missing.

Fantastic piece of work. You know you'll get quality if Stephen Graham is involved, his Mrs is in it too

The actress who played Carly - Vinette Robinson - was a particular stand-out. Having worked with so many people like the characters, it was quite brilliant to see them portrayed so well. If anyone's not seen it yet, then do please, 'cos it's great.

Roads to Freedom on BBC4 iplayer. Saw the first airing when I was a teenager. Thought that it must be the intellectual life for me. Can not praise it highly enough.

Boiling Point- is it not just about a cook? And presumably not in the Under Siege sense.

Kajaki: The True Story - a Brit flick about the war in Afghanistan. It's a brutal and unflinching story of a group of squaddies who wander into a minefield. Definitely worth a watch. Just not while you're eating.

I don't think so. But when you see the results of troops wandering into a minefield, it's not always straightforward to identify individuals.
