I think it's high time we abolished the monarchy personally. Time to move on.

Will never happen brings too much money into the country from foreign tourism.

Taxes are high enough as it is will see them rise significantly if it happens

@richard-latimer I can't believe people care that much one way or another to be honest, lot's of media hype about something that in the grand scheme of our lives is meaningless.

To be fair I'm with you on this but because they do I think it's worth a watch. Says as much about our society as them.

I think that's the whole point of the documentary when you watch it.

I mean did you see Jeremy Clarkson's vile column? Everyone knows he's an arse but shouldn't be able to publish that s**t!!

Nope. I have banned myself from all news websites and all social media apart from an occasional scan of twitter for traders I follow. The world is full of morons and I don't need to see what they have to say or read about them. Just pees me off. Ignorance is bliss.

The most sensible thing anyone has said about the whole spectacle. I will say though this mess is the thing that got #princeofpegging trending on Twitter and for that I will always be grateful .

So obviously I know @John-Folan won't agree but watching 2nd episode of Harry and Meghan now and I honestly can't see how so many people can look at her and have such a problem..

She grew up in humble surroundings, did good things even as a kid and every single thing you see when it's not from the despicable media paints her in a decent light.

How anybody can say race has nothing to do with it I don't know.

Who's with me here??

What the hell have they done to Willow? Ruined a cracking film with an utter garbage tv show.

Richard Latimer

I just started season 4 of Gomorrah. Well worth a watch if you like your mafia drama.

Ryan

@john-folan Thats the best thing about the YouTube Algo as well, its the only one from all the social medias - it shows you things that you actually want to see but haven't seen yet.

John Folan

@ryan it is. I didn’t think it would be but I’m blasting through it. Cracking show

Ryan

Corrr that looks solid, I am about to finish season 2 of gangs of London too WOW

John Folan

You lot will love this

Richard Latimer

What in the actual f**k happened in that finale?

Even for Twin Peaks that was on another planet

Twin Peaks been on my list for ages, doubt its going to come to amazon or netflix though so will have to wait until im done with netflix and get a paramount+ sub.

Incidentally the composer who did the music, Angelo Badalamenti, passed away on the 11th. RIP. I have listened to the music today and if the show is as good as that it will be a cracker.

It is mate. Everything about it oozes class. Like I said though, the storyline isn't linear and if you don't give it 100% attention you're fucked

I dowoaded the torrent. Wicked boy that I am haha!

@richard-latimer I love Twin Peaks. Agree totally about the return. Excellent

I'm still a few episodes out from the end. Episode 8 was mental. "Got a light?"......"got a light?"

Picking up on the Twin Peaks theme again it's not just the story and the music etc...it's the characters. The eccentricity of the characters.

David Lynch's Gordon Cole is brilliant. Adds so much humour to the twisted darkness.
Also Agent Cooper and his love for coffee and cherry pie.
Deputy Andy and the receptionist. Another 2 great characters!

Agree with all that. Absolutely fantastic. I was worried they were going to c**k it up but they really didn’t.

Can I point you in the direction of Andor? Totally different to any Star Wars ever and the build up to the final two episodes is perfection. I reckon it will be right up your street. Which is great as it is pretty much street level small Star Wars. More Blade Runner and 1984 than Star Wars. Amazing
