I gave up on it when it switched channels. I used to love it, but the wholesale change of line up apart from the one guy who got on my tits was a step too far for me.

I still don’t like Noel Fielding much but he works better with Alison Hammond.

Watched “Will & Harper” on Netflix today. I thought it was rather wonderful. Doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of Will Ferrell’s humour or not. This is a genuinely heartfelt film about true friendship and an exploration of what it meant for Harper Stone to transition. Very open. Very honest. I loved it and heartily recommend.

Watched the first episode of Ludwig tonight. Fun stuff with an interesting premise. I’m hoping later episodes lean more into the mystery side of things and away from the drama, but I’m looking forward nonetheless!

Watched episode five of Nightsleeper. Another tense episode. I thought Saj would be the one who took Abby’s code because something seemed shifty about him, so I was shocked when it turned out to be Tobi. I don’t think Tobi is actually involved in the hack though, I think he’s just an idiot who breached GDPR because he thought it would be a laugh. I still wonder if Saj is involved in some way, as something about him seems off, especially when he suggested paying the ransom to the hackers.
The hooded man being a misdirect and not actually part of the hacking seemed obvious though. It did seem too convenient for him to have been one of the hackers.
And I wonder if the passengers who are stuck on the carriages further back are truly as safe as they seem, now the train has been coupled. Do we know for sure whether the Heart Of Britain train only has one engine or two? I’m wondering if there will be a twist, and there’s another engine at the other end of the train that starts moving.

Definitely one I intend to watch. I do think there’s too many shows and films with celebrities going on road trips lately, but this one looks a lot of fun.

It is fun, but it’s the other stuff that really makes the ride worthwhile. And it pays to watch the credits at the end.

Finished Nightsleeper Episode Six. A heck of an epic conclusion. Never guessed that Pez or the female train worker were the ones responsible for the train hack. I thought it was going to be Saj and the child who would be in cahoots over it.

Finished Ludwig last night. Riveting stuff. We really enjoyed the whole series. Episode five has Derek Jacobi in, and he really shines! Lots of lovely mysteries and puzzles, and quite a lot of silliness. I loved it.

Oh I LOVE Noel’s humour on Bake Off, but I can see why others wouldn’t.
I thought it was really sad that the guy decided he had to leave, when it must have taken so much to get on.
Also, I find it fun that my hubby and I have such different ideas about who the fit guy is this series. I think its SO clear that there is one stand out attractive/ sexy guy but he doesn’t even register for Lee. Shows there’s someone for everyone.

Bake off is amazing. Started watching since series 6. I like Noel. He’s funny. Allison took a bit to grow on me and so did Matt Lucas. The new season is good so far and I already like all of the bakers. It’ll be sad to watch anyone go.

Binged through the final two episodes of Nightsleeper last night - what a ride!
Didn’t suspect Pev at all but knew Saj was too obvious a culprit - he was just a bit of a dick who obviously always had a bit of a chip on his shoulder over Abby clearly being better.
Had suspicions about Yaz simply because of how determined she was to get Chrissie off the train and how she kept going on about how they would pay the ransom and they’d all be fine - almost as if she was trying to convince herself that it would be okay as, as turned out, they should have all got off the train at Motherwell.
Absolutely loved the bit where the carriages were separating - very exciting.
Bit disappointed we found out that Joe did steal the money after all - not sure what that was supposed to tell us about the character.
I do love a disaster movie and this ticked a lot of the boxes. I don’t think it flagged at all in the second half as some have suggested particularly with the hidden person, separating carriages and suspicion falling on Abby bits.

Watched Lair of the White Worm, a tongue in cheek campy horror movie by Ken Russell. It had a young Peter Capaldi in it and, when I watched the feature about the effects, up popped Neil Gorton who I recognised from many a behind the scenes (Who, Torchwood etc).

So have now finished season three of Heartstopper.
It’s the most emotional season so far! Things are handled SO well IMHO. And more aspects are explored than in the books (being vague to keep it spolier free).
There are scenes where Olivia Colman’s absence is a little weird, shame her schedule couldn’t work. I thought Eddie Marsen was perfect in his role.
We’re now up to date with the books. There’s one more book so, hopefully, one more season although it feels like its been written so that, if there isn’t, it doesn’t feel like it suddenly stops. There are some big dangling threads that would be a shame not to conclude, though.
