Found myself watching and enjoying Noel Edmond's Kiwi Adventure! I know he has a lot of haters, but for me he was part of my childhood, xmas days and saturday nights and I dont dislike him. TBH I never knew what even happened to him but the program told us how he was bankrupted by corrupt HBOS bankers but eventually got all his money back! Anyway, the show is definitely rooted in the Clarksons Farm style and is one of those business struggles that aren't really astruggle as the main protagonist is loaded, ala Clarkson, but I'm enjoying it nethertheless.

Just watched last week's. It's OK but I prefer Clarksons farm. He's into some funny stuff, playin music to his vines and big rocks.

Yeah, he's into the cosmos and all that stuff, but he's smart too and I admire that. Mind you for all his crytals and vortex water stuff i hasve to say he looks effin good for 75, even with his 1980s perpetual hair do!

80 yo is the new 'getting on'.

We've just seen 28 Years Later.

Would not have guessed the final scene in a trillion years of guessing...

The Old Man. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5645432/
Ponderous, the series not the old man, can't tell if Bridges is playing a part or just really really past it and should hang up his hat, but it's good enough to keep me watching it.

Down to earth bloke making his way in the world as a hitman, it's just funny.

The Year of the Rabbit is available to watch on Netflix if you missed it on C4.

Alien: Earth

On Disney Plus.

If you like the Alien movie franchise then you'll flippin' love this. There's not quite the same amount of existential dread as the movies, but I think that makes it a bit more watchable as a series.

Children in adult android bodies, space ship crashes, new types of Aliens, Timothy Olyphant, what more do you want?

I did wonder why an urban search and rescue team go equipped with Pulse Rifles, come in hand tho'

There aren't many things that could tempt me to sign up for subscription TV but Aliens + Olyphant is a very tempting combination.

He knocked it out of the park in Deadwood and Justified and I even enjoyed Hitman. (Not in the Alan Rickman/Gruber, scenery-chewing class but his Die Hard baddy was pretty fair too).

He acts with his eyes, as spotted in Deadwood...stationary, standing Olyphant - look right - Olyphant swivels, exits stage right.

(Maybe he's a biker - look where you want to go. ).

[MrLongbeard]

Added to watchlist, I can't be doing with the second series of The Old Man right now so this'll do

[KungFooBob]

It's no been revealed yet, but I reckon he's a synthetic, his hair is on point!

There's something of a spolier on that in the 'cast and characters' in the Wiki info.

Got Ade Edmonson in too!

Yeah, doesn't look or sound like him, I saw his name in the end credits and couldn't remember seeing him, he's the Boy Geniuses left hand man.

I'm convinced one of the rescue guys who gets his face punched off by an aliens maw was Ralf Little, but Google says no.

I'm waiting for it to finish so we can binge it

Alone, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4803766/ , love it.
The Rookie, top TV cop drama with a little humour thrown in
Alien: Earth, only just started, might have legs if you ignore the timeline, having avoided all of the prequal films I may be missing out on some plot lines / characters but we'll see

It's no been revealed yet, but I reckon he's a synthetic, his hair is on point!

His speech on the drop ship in episode one does not lend towards him being human.

[Nordboy]

Are you all saying that with Alien: Earth, Disney have managed to make a series that hasn't totally f***ed up the franchise, as per Marvel and Star Wars (Mandalorian excepted)??

[MrLongbeard]

Yeah but nah, but not sure yet, it's supposed to be set after the prequals but before Alien, which kind of makes a mockery of the original films if they already new about the aliens before they encounter them in space

[KungFooBob]

I think it's gonna be more about the other aliens and the xenomorph is just going to be a background character.

Octo-eyeball is going to be the star of the show, mark my words.

[Silly Car]

Currently working my way through Bosch, for years I thought the titular character was played by James Nesbitt, but clearly it isn’t!

Currently on Season 5.

I only started it as it is set prior to Ballard which I’ve watched a couple of episodes, and to allow more episodes to drop so that I can binge that in time.

Overall, Bosch is ok, heavy going at times but it all links together nicely.

My memory is rusty, but didn't "they" sort of know about Aliens before the first film, hence why the ship and Bilbo Baggins had secret orders?
