In My Skin on BBC iPlayer is brilliant. [b I believe Jac Yarrow is in it. He’s the main reason I started watching. the whole story and subject matter is extremely gripping and it’s not what I expected at all.

So far, I've watched the first three! (27-28 mins a go)

Someone on another forum said his son's school has sent an email out to all pupils inviting them to a virtual school trip to the National - they are to watch One Man Two Guvnors, and share photos of them eating ice cream etc in the interval. Nice idea!

Not so much a watch more of a listen. Just listening to this album which has got to be the campest thing ever. And if you are at home you can sing and dance along. Or is that just me?

I’ve been waiting for the Complete Walk films for what seems forever, only saw a few on the day so these are a pleasant and welcome surprise.

In My Skin on BBC iPlayer is brilliant. Some actor this Gabrielle Creevy. Impressive.
I see she and Jac Yarrow both trained at ArtsEd

I, Tonya has been added to Netflix if anyone hasn't seen it! A tough watch at times but I thoroughly recommend it.

[b I believe Jac Yarrow is in it. He’s the main reason I started watching. the whole story and subject matter is extremely gripping and it’s not what I expected at all. It's written by Kayleigh Llewellyn who I realised afterwards is an improviser I've seen at loads of gigs in London. I agree, a wonderful series. I've been gripped by Lennie James' Save Me Too, an astonishingly powerful character driven thriller, James is magnificent in the central role, both series are available to watch now.

My friend recommended that I watch My Mad Fat Diary, which is on the Channel 4 website. I haven't started watching it yet but it looks good.

For me the very best things to watch online fall into two categories. First, the shows I never expected to be able to see again, like One Man Two Guvnors with James Corden and Eugenius from The Other Palace. Second the ones we mustn't mention and shouldn't really be there at all but it's very satisfying to find and watch something that would otherwise probably be gone forever but has been preserved.

Not TV, but this video is fantastic and it’s technically something to watch online

Not something to watch but to listen to...
I have been binge listening to The Corrupted on BBC Sounds. 50 episodes about an East End crime family from the 50s onwards. Toby Jones in the lead and lots of other familiar voices
Violent at times but always gripping.
Annoyed I didn't find it years ago. But am enjoying each 45 minute episode.

Just watched last night's "Isolation Stories" on ITV - short dramas written and filmed during lockdown. Last night's starred Sheridan Smith. All the dramas have been filmed at the cast's homes, with cameras operated by their families / partners. Surprisingly elaborately filmed given the restrictions their working under.
Well worth a look.

I thought she was rather good as well. Plus gives us a chance to have a snoop around their houses.

Re: Isolation Stories, I wasn't sure whether I really wanted to watch drama about what we're going through while we're going through it but I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's ep with Robert Glenister and co. Quite moving and some funny parts.

My mate Tom and his dad were in last night's Isolation Stories. I felt the second episode was superior to the first however considering all of the filming constraints at the moment and the length of each episode that's to be expected. Any new programming is welcomed from me!

Yes, just watched the second one and really enjoyed it. As theatremadness says potentially difficult viewing as the series reflects circumstances we're all going through but quite an achievement in managing to be entertaining, and very well put together - the restrictions they must have faced while filming weren't apparent in the finished product. First saw Stephen's mate Tom's dad in "Sink or Swim" when he was about Tom's age and they don't half look similar!

The MOON, outside, right now! Popped outside to see, but can only glimpse fragments beaming through the foliage of the trees in the paddock yonder - very bright, must be wonderful in a clear sky!

must be wonderful in a clear sky! The air is so clean now it looks fantastic, and if you have binoculars it's well worth going out again as it rises higher in the sky - you can see so much detail.

Just finished watching Frankenstein and all I can say is thank god that’s over. Not my thing at all. Great physical acting from BC but I suspect JLM is better as the creature... but am I hell sitting through it again to find out!
The cut was annoying but fairly obvious what happened... I think it would have worked better with a fade added to make it look like an actual scene transition but if I’m honest I was past caring about the whole thing at that point.

The MOON, outside, right now! I was doing the same. I had came back my dog walk and was in the garden dancing my heart out to Kylie's 'All The Lovers' whilst staring at the moon and stars. It was just beautiful tonight. Luckily my garden isn't overlooked or my neighbours would have thought I was nuts.

I've been getting up unusually early and caught the moon this morning at almost before first light, perhaps just after 5. It was outside my window - in the west, very low, and almost pink. It almost startled me, like a cat unexpectedly sitting on a windowsill or something.

I'm currently watching Normal People ... Two hours into this. This girl could be my granddaughter. I'm actually going through what they call an assessment atm (not a diagnosis!) so I am aware and can see what I think ... I can see. Very unusual for me to so emotionally invested in a character, it's very raw. Having said that it's perfect and beautiful, as well. Continuing with considerable trepidation ...
