What are you watching tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

This evening I'm mostly looking forward to watching 'The Hermit of Treig' on the iPlayer.

I read about this guy yesterday and found his story fascinating. Originally from Derbyshire he's spent the past 40 years living 'off grid' in the log cabin he built on the banks of Loch Treig in the Highlands.

No electric, no running water, no nowt, he lives on what he catches and what he forages. His cabin's a two hour walk from the nearest road.

He lives a life that I guess most of us think 'I wouldn't mind a blast at that' when the reality is tat we'd last less than a week.

Pfft. Had stuff from a shop....he'll be getting Deliveroo next.

A grand recco, mate. Enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed it, I did too. I'm most impressed that he had/has 70 x Gallon demijohns worth of hooch on the go. I knew he must have some way of getting through those winter nights

Started 'An Unlikely Murderer' this week, about the Olaf Palme assassination in the 1980s. An interesting if somewhat quixotic take on murder mystery which also leaves me feeling a bit uneasy to a degree. I'm sticking with it but I'm unsure really where it goes after the first episode and a bit.

I was at a party in Nottingham when that happened. Can recall Swedish person coming in, to announce to the room Olof Palme had been shot - to a sea of entirely blank faces...not quite the reaction they were anticipating...

I remember reading about that (Palme's assassination, not the TV programme). Didn't it take the Stockholm Police something like an hour to secure the scene?

I don't know enough about the case itself I'm afraid but one of the themes of the show so far is quite clearly police incompetence. How much is true or not I don't honestly know.

Bill Bryson wrote quite a chunk about it in (I think) Neither Here Nor There. He wasn't very complimentary towards the Swedish Rozzers either.

Started 'Arcane' on netflix last night. And what a pleasant surprise it is. Sci-fi action adventure cartoon based derived from characters and settings in the League of Legends gaming universe.

It's a shame I've probably lost the entire readership with that last sentence, because it is startlingly good, even for someone like me with no prior knowledge of the game, characters and backstory. Proper character development, good storytelling and absolutely glorious to look at as well.

I just didn't imagine TW would be a natural home for this kind of thing.

Now excuse me, I'm off to excitedly wait for news to come out about an expansion for an online WoW-themed card trading game...

(Watching other people play D&D though? I have some semblance of self respect!)

Knock yerself out with a bit of Hearthstone! Or if you want to get really old fashioned, gems from Everquest

The Acquisitions Incorporated sessions (one's that have video) are really quite funny in parts. I can take or leave Critical Role

[KeyserSoze]

Hearthstone is what I was on about! New cards announced at 6pm tonight!

I'll have a look at Everquest and AI sessions, genuine thanks for the recommendations!

Oh, not sure I'd recco Everquest as a game - it was released in 1999 and was the #1 before WoW came along - Life didn't start at WoW, regardless of what the fanbois might tell you (I've played WoW too, but shunted my subscription when the ActiBlizz "scandal" broke)...gameplay is much slower and more considered than WoW, there's sod all you can do without a reasonable group and it has a subscription of folks that have been playing it 22 years lol. I think most EQ players would say WoW was for the kiddies. It's as grindy and a very grindy thing, carrying a grindstone. But, the players that are still on it, have toons that might be 3-4 years old in "actual" playtime lol.

[KeyserSoze]

Ah sorry I thought it was a card game not a MMORPG; I've never really been into those and only came to look into Warcraft lore via Hearthstone...that does sound like a hardy fanbase though

Watched an old Clint Eastwood George Kennedy film on B.B.C. I player "The Eiger Sanction" Seen it long ago, but I forgot the utterly brilliant climbing scenes on the North face of the Eiger. Not sure how much stunt work Eastwood did, but the film is amazing. Had me gripping the chair arms.Well worth another watch.

[Bruce Rioja]

Did anyone else find the ending to Angela Black to be a bit rushed, and subsequently a little wishy-washy? I expected better, to be honest.

They're have been a few TV series of late whose endings I've found to be underwhelming.

Cheers, Tango, I'll put that on the list. Watched Gran Torino again on Tuesday evening. Absolutely peak Eastwood. I'll never tire of watching it

Very good film. He's just starred in and directed another at the age of 91, Cry Macho. Not gone down well in the reviews I've read but I'll give it a watch at some point.

The Mule, another one which Eastwood stars in and directs is well worth a watch. True story too.

Watched the first three episodes of Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime last night, based on the Robert Jordan books. Enjoyed it. Trollocs rejoice.

As I am a healthcare content writer, I will watch some videos of hair transplant in Lahore to get ideas for content and to get information.

Find out how much it'll cost me for a Claudia Winkleman. Cheers.
