What Are You Currently Watching (on tv/dvd)?

...And I must admit, it made me check my bed before slipping under the covers last night!

I'm spreading a rumour that you do that every night, just to see if Emma's going to leap out and surprise you.

Hell, she can sneak up on me, I won't mind!

Finished Hannibal season 1. Great show. Poor Will! He's been stitched up like a kipper! No idea where they're going to go with this next season now...

[Dahls]

That's the one with Mads Mikkelsen right?
Been meaning to watch that.


The new season of Broen (The Bridge) is getting more and more thrilling, almost better then the first imo.
I truly hate watching ongoing series though, and having to wait a week for next episode.

[Ian]

It is indeed.

First ever episode of Neighbours from 1985 ! What can I say, since Sons & Daughters finished I've been missing my teatime fix of cheesy 80s Aussie soap opera.

Via Netflix Fringe Season 4 and Season 3 of Lost

I'm waiting for Fringe season 5 to come out on DVD in just over a week!

The Bill: Cry Havoc. A supposedly routine arrest leaves Sgt Peters stabbed and young PC Stringer alone and locked in a deadly confrontation in this classic 1991 episode. Can still remember this one from 22 years ago!
"I've done one of yours already. What's another one gonna matter?"

X Files: Red Museum. A creepy and clever episode that plays with audience expectations of the series' conventions, as what for the first half appears to be a standard standalone mystery-horror story takes a sharp twist midway through, and we suddenly realise we're watching an episode in the show's ongoing Alien Conspiracy storyline. Good stuff.

New Tricks is starting to look decidedly iffy. You can lose James Bolam and just about get away with it, but when you lose James Bolam, Alun Armstrong and Amanda Redman all in the space of barely a year, this really ain't the same show anymore, now is It?

4 eps into the final season of Dexter. Jesus. Deb actually trying to kill Dexter is

Taggart: Forbidden Fruit. It's scandal and murder when the director of a fertility clinic is found to have fathered 60 babies with artificial insemination using his own sperm. When family members of one of his clients/victims start getting murdered, Taggart has to wonder just what secret could be bigger and more twisted than that to justify multiple murder... Heh, this one is really warped! Classic stuff.

Doctor Who - Day of the Doctor. Warning : SPOILERS! Pretty weak, for the most part. Quite boring at times. I liked the ending - the Doctor "saving" Gallifrey after all is a cool twist, and hopefully means the end of this endless angst we've had since 2005, and Tom's cameo was genuinely lovely - but otherwise it was just the standard overblown NuHu stuff. Hurt had a couple of amusing lines taking the naff out of Tennant and Smithy - especially their juvenile dialogue and waving the Sonic Screwdriver around as though it were a gun - but ultimately fairly underwhelming. Can't say I was disappointed, though, as that's pretty much what I expected.

The internet minisode The Five-ish Doctors is very funny, as Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy desperately try to force their way into the special. Some great cameos too, lots of chuckles.

Sylv lording it over them with him being in The Hobbit. (On McGann's active career) : "I bet it's TV."

Colin (getting fed up): Ooh, are you in The Hobbit? I didn't know!

Some good moments in DotD though without it being outstanding.
Just a bit overwhelmed with around 18 hours of Who surrounding it.

The final ever Dexter.


Well, that was depressing.
