I saw this movie about a bus that had to Speed around the city, keeping its Speed over fifty, and if its Speed dropped, it would explode! I think it was called “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down

Really enjoyed Chernobyl - it's pretty grim viewing and very tense - the music ramps this up a lot.

The last scene, with the forest turning brown as the cloud approached the city... :o

It’s on NOWTV (the Sky version of iplayer).

Loads of little details like the trees turning red and the ‘nuclear tan’ on the faces of the guys who looked into the core. Looking forward to more Chernobyl nerd stuff on the next few episodes.

Watched the first 10 episodes in one hit and think it's absolutely brilliant TV - the sort of show that makes you think English TV has still got it! Somewhat trepidatious about watching the season finale now - can't be doing with too many of them feels!

The one-on-one with her dad (who felt a touch under-used up until this point) makes it. Or so you think. Then there is even more :D

The Victim (BBC/iPlayer) was recommended to us a while back.

Watched all four episodes last night.

Pretty harrowing/upsetting stuff, but just brilliantly acted/done.

It's quite tough going (especially for anyone with kids I'd imagine), but highly recommended.

It’s so good, I’m very happy that Pheobe Waller-Bridge is polishing the new Bond script.

Well, that Daenerys is a bit of a cunt, isn’t she! :o Living up to her family name, I suppose, but fuxache! Seemed crazy after all she’s tried to rescue in previous series.
Cheers,

Yeah as spectacle, that was stunning, for coherent plotting it didn't do much for me, three quarters of the way through my sentiments were very much like the hounds "Just all fucking die!".
