It does not stand a re-watch IMO!

We really enjoyed it right up until halfway thru the last episode when we realised that large parts of the story were going to be left unresolved, and sure enough a 2nd season is trailed at the end.
Incredibly annoying.

Whilst scrolling through the channels last night I came across The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club (originally on in 1974).
Looks like it’s filmed in a working mens club…all the audience drinking pints and smoking fags.
The acts that I saw were a comedian, a singer, a ‘strongman’ and a piano player.
Introduced by a bloke in a flat cap with Bernard Manning compering…totally bonkers

Remember it well… sadly 
Bloke in flat cap used to ring a fire alarm bell, we used to ape him in the playground when we wanted someone else to talk. Proper northern fayre.

We started a Real Slackers and Punters club at the old workshop. I think it morphed into a straight up poker night. That was me out

University challenge last night was a corker, it was so close right at the end and had three questions with the answers Trip Hop, DJ Shadow and Massive Attack. They didn’t know the latter two.

Watched Obsession. Very well done and full of of some particularly unsettling moments. The late night bedroom scene was unbelievably freaky and the ending was pretty good. Bravo.

Watched Sound Of Falling finally. What a great movie - cinematography, construction and sound especially.

Fuck me what a bore. I always feel like I’m being bludgeoned to death in Christopher Nolan films. Humourless and lacking any lightness of touch. Not for me. And first time seeing Tom Holland in a movie… hopefully the last.
On a brighter note I really enjoyed Marty Supreme (currently on Prime). Timmy C is actually pretty good at playing these gonzo type characters. And the Lopatin score is great as usual.

I started it but got bored. Might try and finish it at some point

I’m watching old movie D.O.A. and I know every fucking detail in it since Paul Auster described it in his diary. Strangely it’s a interesting process.

The Shards on Disney+. If you like Bret Easton Ellis books about overprivileged LA kids in the early 80s and you like Ryan Murphy’s garish images - this time pitch-perfect 1980/81 houses and clubs.. you’ll love it. i do. Bonus points for using the offspring of Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford for leading roles

I don’t know if you know the sorry saga behind the whole thing, basically the real couple who it’s based on are total bullshitters / fraudsters.
