What are you Watching Today Part 2

[ContrifibulatoryFred]

Platform 7 on ITV is a tidy little 4-parter starring Jasmin Jobson - who was also brilliant in Top Boy

[Constanza]

Got stuck into the Post office scandal with Toby Jones. It certainly delivered.

[Long slender neck]

A Man Called Otto- Tom Hanks miscast as a grumpy old man, who is angry about stuff and depressed. Can his 2D neighbours win him over? A bloated Nepo Baby Hanks cast as same character in flashbacks. A trans character shoehorned in because? This was pretty terrible.

[Dunners]

I've heard it's awful. Apparently the Swedish original is supposed to be worth watching.

[Turk]

My wife has put on “Dancing on ice” I’m wondering if it’s grounds for divorce

[Constanza]

You're lucky, it's Love Island on mine.

[Turk]

That’ll go on once I get sent to bad so she can watch her poo poo uninterrupted

[Celtient]

Have never watched Traitors as Claudia Winkleman makes me feel nauseous. Have seen lots of trailers for it though and my question is; are the contestants really ordinary members of the public or are they really hammy am dram actors?

Claudia Winkleman makes me feel nauseous.

Does not compute. PJ Clauds.

Also, can't vouch for all of them, but yes, they're real people rather than actors.

Define ordinary members of the public? No, they're not actors (although there was one in the first series who had been an extra in Eastenders).

They obviously go through a selection process to make sure they get 'characters' in there.

[Hoover Attack]

My wife has put on “Dancing on ice”

I tried that but found I'm better off on Ecstasy.

(LADZ JOKE - Ice is slang for crystal meth for you old fogeys who aren't down with the kids).

[Celtient]

As I say, have only seen the numerous trailers, and the over-dramatic reactions of the contestants just doesn't ring true

The usual sorts you'd expect on reality tv shows. There were a couple of actors in the first series.

I have finally got around to watching Traitors S1. Like it a lot (especially the fragrant Claudia).
I worry a bit whether it can sustain it - as it's essentially a lesson in the power people copying each others opinions and, when there's enough with that opinion, persuading each other that it's a fact.

[Holybourne Identity]

Fisk on Netflix, amusing Aussie comedy about a beige probate solicitor.
Junior Bake Off with Harry Hill, it's great tv.

Thanks for the Fisk recommendation, I’ve finished both series - very good.

Currently watching West Ham heading out of the FA Cup 1-0 down at Bristol City

[Turk]

Was working from home today and watched a bit of “everyone else burns” with Simon Bird. Wish I hadn’t

[o-no]

Currently watching West Ham heading out of the FA Cup 1-0 down at Bristol City

It’s very enjoyable

[cymruO]

All over City win - Wet Sham were awful.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Finished such brave girls on iplayer. Trailer made it look awful but I enjoyed it.
Some misses but very different and outrageous at points. Felt sick and laughed in equal measure.
Hope there’s a second series

[Constanza]

Enjoying The Traitors, think I would commit murder if I had a continental breakfast every morning.

[Long slender neck]

Dont Worry Darling- quite enjoyed the reveal of this mystery but not so much what came before it. 6/10

[Proposition Joe]

Bit of a sucker for the Netflix series on American sports like Last Chance U so polished off the Untold episodes on the Florida Gators. Affable bunch, Tim Tebow came across well. Can never get my head around how big College sports are in the US.

[CEB]

Harry’s jumped the shark in traitors I think. Trying to be too clever

[StillSpike]

Just finished Traitors S1

Great ending.
