Yes. It's brilliant and I can't recommend it enough. Possibly his best ever work.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 4:15 pmHas anybody watched / started watching After Life with Ricky Gervais on Netflix? If so, is it worth watching?

Re: What are you watching tonight?
I thought the opposite. Just isn't the same with Merchant not there as a filter.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Second series of fleabag has been outstanding. Always wondered how they would follow up the first, but it’s possibly better. It’s my favourite thing that’s been on for a while.
Re: What are you watching tonight?
Yep, it's glorious. Even pipping Partridge for best thing on at the moment.
Plus Derry Girls and Jerk (co-written by a v good friend and one time drinking buddy of Enoch) and I haven't even got around to After Life yet.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Just watched last night's Partridge. Classic Alan
Pleased that it's improved with each episode.
Currently watching 'The Disappearance of Madeline McCann'. I'm even more confused by it now. However, what a dog's dinner the whole investigation's been on all fronts.

I liked it as well. Very funny with a nice ending.

Also had a belting soundtrack, which I now feel the need to download.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
I didn't watch it, I listened to 'Short Cuts' on Radio 4 today, well worth a visit to iPlayer.
Brian Price, who was an inmate and last meal chef on Texas' death row telling his story. Very moving piece, a story of great compassion.
Great title for his book too, 'Meals To Die For.'

Do love listening to the stories of people with unusual professions. Cheers, Enoch. I'll have a listen to that later.Enoch wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 4:38 pmI didn't watch it, I listened to 'Short Cuts' on Radio 4 today, well worth a visit to iPlayer.

One of my favourites was the Sommelier at 10 Downing St. The place has a very impressive cellar. It's this guy's job not only to select the correct wine for a state dinner but also make sure that the wine is politically suitable, so for eg. Don't serve Italian wine to someone who's just had a run in with Giuseppe Conte. Ultimately the guy got proper frustrated by having to serve some of the century's best wines to people who couldn't tell it from red ink

Any recollection of where you heard that, or if it's still available, Bruce?

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Ooof. It was (20 + odd?) years ago, Chief. (I used Conte with licence). Radio 4 used to have an early afternoon slot called 'Anderson's Country' hosted by the wonderful, silky-toned Ulsterman, Gerry Anderson (sadly no longer with us). At the time Radio 4 was trying to incorporate more regional accents amongst its presenters. Anderson's show was chiefly built around sending reporters out to visit the vagaries of British life and to interview those involved in unusual professions. I absolutely loved it - to such a degree whereby if possible I'd plan meetings around it.Enoch wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 5:02 pmHa, just been listening to Horace Rumpole waxing lyrical about "Chateau Thames Embankment".Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 4:53 pmDo love listening to the stories of people with unusual professions.

Anyway, Disgusted of the Home Counties wrote into the BBC by the drove to complain about being used as social guinea pigs and demanding presenters who use only SRP.
Sadly, incredibly, they got their way and Anderson was released after less than a year.
I will try to dig it out though. I'd love to hear it again.
There's a link here regarding the end of what, to me, was one of R4's finest shows ever.

I remember Anderson, been a 4 listener longer than I care to remember. Was pretty pissed off at the time myself when he was binned, used to listen to him in the car.
I'll have a dig, see what turns up.

Just three more days 'til Game of Thrones starts to end.
I'm very ambivalent about the proposed prequel stuff. Very.
But I am really looking forward to the next six weeks.

Last Fleabag. Pitch perfect. She's so, so good. And Olivia Colman.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Agreed. This series has been the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Great combination of comedy and tragedy, with some great dialogue and set piece monologues.
I loved the first series, but the deeper emotional issues explored in this one took it to another level.
Re: What are you watching tonight?
Don't see the love, just a slightly better Miranda Hart doing posh girl stuff.
I can understand the Mumsnet demographic liking it. The Wanderer? Not so much
