Telly thread

I saw her in the West End in Legally Blonde, Funny Girl, Opening Night and Woman in Mind which are bit different.

(Shirley Valentine too which isn't different).

Could not disagree with you more. The perfect ending to one of the greatest TV shows I've ever watched.

I've just found out that today is the last ever broadcast of "Football Focus". Kinda sad, especially with the nostalgia they showcased today, but I hardly ever watched it anymore -- which apparently was part of the problem.

Finding Dear England very enjoyable.

I hated the play. Feelgood, lightweight nonsense which barely scratched the surface of a lot of important issues and portrayed Southgate as some sort of Rodinesque thinker trying to handle some thick footballers. Good for people who don’t know anything about football and get frothy during the World Cup and Euros (men’s or women’s)

Is the TV show any better?

I haven't seen the play so can't really compare but it passed a pleasant hour with Sunday night wine and brought back some memories of when I used to care more about watching England. And whilst not all of the casting is perfect some of the lookalikes (Kane, Maguire, Saka) are incredible.

I enjoyed the play, it's not a documentary, just some light entertainment loosely centred around some real life events (like The Crown).

Not seen the TV version yet.

@Ingo I assume you have seen that there is a new season of Clarkson's Farm on Amazon? I haven't started it yet but I assume it's more of the same.

Better than Clarksons Farm, Pemberton Farm

.

We are only 1 and half episodes in so I'm not sure what the story arc is yet other than Farmers vs Government (which will no doubt land like a chopper on here) but yes it's more of the same. The main cast members are more comfortable on camera which does take away a bit of the fun but the language is increasingly agricultural which is excellent.

On the way back from Holiday last month we did a stop over in Whitney so went to the pub and revisited the farm shop. The farm shop used to sell a lot of merch but is now just food, the milk dispenser machine is brilliant, proper fresh milk cold as fuck. Then we had a table booked for dinner. Contrary to the image portrayed in the show I don't think I've ever been to a better run pub, and I've been to a lot of pubs.

Farmers vs Government (which will no doubt land like a chopper on here) but yes it's more of the same.

Don't get me started...

I very very nearly tagged you at this point.
