Watching this, which has transferred me back to those Saturday afternoons as a kid and watching this and airwolf , knightrider and all the other great 80s shows.

The Incredible Hulk: The First. Engaging 2parter in which David finds that someone else became a version of the Hulk 30 years earlier. Actually finding the person and trying to replicate the cure, David fails to realise that not only does his new "friend" actually miss being the Hulk, but is also a homicidal a-hole... and is unable to prevent him from recreating the experiment and becoming the Hulk again... Hulk vs another (evil) Hulk is such an obvious idea it's only surprising it took them four seasons to do it!

Been watching season one of Hart to Hart. The first season intro is slightly different Maxs voice over being slightly different instead of the usual when they met it was murder he says their hobbie is murder! Which makes the Harts sound like a couple of psychos who go around killing people!

Also been watching my favourite Martian which never seen before but enjoying immensely thanks largely to the two central performances

Dug out a few things ....

Big Train. Still very silly ... "remember, he is an evil hypnotist ..." etc.

Burnistoun. All 3 series. Set in a fictional (?) satellite town in Scotland, we meet the denziens such as Biscuity Boyle and Jolly Boy John (FOR REAL) among many others. There are subtitles for the unScottish

Little Dorrit (2008)

An excellent adaptation of the Charles Dickens book. A superb script from Andrew Davies (although not as good as Bleak House which i re-watched in November) and fine performnces from the likes of Claire Foy, Tom Courtney, Matthew Macfadyen and Andy Serkis ensure that this 14 part series is one i'll return to in the future.

I love watching Dickens at Christmas.

Indeed D. I have The Old Curiosity Shop (1979) sitting waiting my attention.

But I am currently watching a Sherlock Holmes set (Brett/ Hardwicke), 5 tales true etc. Enjoying the casts which teem with stalwarts etc.

Also watched the first series of Absolutely Fabulous. Great to see Kathy Burke etc. As I was more of a Gimme Gimme Gimme fan tbh

. but there is some hilarity, mainly from Horrocks and Lumley in my opinion. Will I watch more? Where are the rest of these Callan reviews I hear you all scream??

Ahem.

The Married With Children double-length Xmas special It's a Bundyful Life. A very MWC take on... well, work it out... as a miserable Al wonders if he may as well not have been born, and soon finds out when a foul-mouthed angel arrives to show him. Discovering that the people who make his life miserable are all much better off without him inspires him to live again, because why the hell should they be?!

Just finished watching the first episode of a new documentary on Netflix called Don’t F**k With Cats. Trigger warning, it does centre around a campaign to find the guy who posted videos of himself murdering cats. While thankfully the videos are not shown they are discussed in length.

It’s 3 episodes and it’s played out like a thriller, really interesting and it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. It’s hard to say I recommend it but it is worth watching.

Just watched the first part of BBC's A Christmas Carol.
Not impressed at all.
I did not like any of the Jacob Marley stuff. Is this a comedy character?
So we open with a young boy urinating on Marley's grave, and then Marley's reaction inside his coffin.
A few f*%$s and some other nonsense and my attention then wandered.
I don't think this is for me.
I am not looking forward to Dracula.

I liked it, bit of a different take on a story told a million times, a few of my female friends on Facebook were mightily disappointed to learn that Tom Hardy only produced it and wasn’t starring in it, which amused me
