That's great. Let me know what it's like. Have you recorded Come Home?

Yes, that's on "series link."

It seems an excessive number of programmes to be recording. But I go through the telly mag. on Saturday morning and schedule anything I might possible watch, so I'm not tied to a time to watch anything. Many of these I'll only watch for a few minutes before I delete them.

With the HDR in one room and a Virgin Tivo box, in the other.... (I want to change it for the free upgrade Virgin has offered, but my wife says she's too many programmes on it that she'd lose. Like Harry Potter from over a year ago. She blitz watches whole series sometimes),we can record up to five programmes at the same time. We've mostly totally different tastes in programmes.

Hi,

Many thanks once again Logan for the Ice Road Trucker information. I did try YouTube and sure enough it was available but when I tried to open it I was informed to "Click on the link below" I never bother clicking these links; I also found a postage stamp size; I don't know why these small pictures are put on YouTube because I don't think settings can be changed to give full screen? Not to be beaten I found an episode on the history channel so Bron and I settled down to watch it; it should have started at 2 pm but 11 minutes past all we were watching were adverts so we've abandoned it. Why are things so complicated? I do appreciate you taking the time and trouble to help though Logan so top marks to you. (y)

I've just spent an happy morning in the workshop with more to follow this afternoon. :)

Kind regards, Colin.

@Sean Regan yes we can record up to 4 programmes on the Humax. We only have iplayer and the equivalent on the other channels.
But don't watch very much.

@Colin that's ok. I think on utube they do that because it's not a approved video. Sometimes videos get blocked by the country it's coming from.

Gardener's world was good, about the hellebores and how to pollinate them. Also if you keep doing it from the plants that are produced from that, it's best to get new plants sometimes to extend the gene pool.

Last night, I was watching Sins and Secrets and Donal MacIntyne was a bit tiresome, so I channel surfed only to find The Good Karma Hospital had finished on ITV. Quick thinking made me searched for ITV + 1 and it was another good episode. If you haven't watched it, have a go.

I only lasted half an episode of The Good Karma Hospital.

I'm showing my age now, but I found Amrita Acharia as a doctor about as convincing as I did Kylie Minogue as a car mechanic.

Does your wife love it though?

I enjoyed enormously the Series: Byzantium - A tale of three cities enormously. I like Simon Sebag Montefiore's TV history series.

Just watched Ordeal by innocence.
It was ok I suppose, but a bit weird.

It was a bit weird, But it held my attention.

Made a change from the 11 naffin' cookery programmes on BBC 1 & 2 over the bank holiday

My wife also binge watches the Victorian era, Murdoch Mysteries.
"He apparently invented an awful lot of technology back then for which other people have been historically credited,."

Yes i don't watch all the cookery programmes. I like Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall.

The last one Nigel Slater did, he went to the middle east. It was very interesting about the different cultures.

I like Father Brown, that's murder mysteries.

They're repeating "The Repair Shop" from the beginning.

I've not seen the early ones.

But we've still got a clip of Jay measuring one side of a picture frame.

Could this be the equivalent of, for those who can remember the series,

"Petrocelli's wall?"


Although he is seen laying bricks regularly, the walls never seemed to get any higher!

Hi,

Bron and I started to watch this but couldn't make sense of it which these days is normal for what's on TV; we watched this below instead via YouTube on our TV; this was brilliant and now we're watching lots more from this top class woodturner. Why do we have to pay a TV licence?


Kind regards, Colin.
