March 6, 20178 yr There's also Broadchurch too but here are two programmes that people may not be as aware of! Meet the Lords is of course very topical at the moment with the Brexit bill currently being debated there and so increasing the number of constitutional questions that surround it once again. It was really interesting last week and should be the same this week!

March 31, 20178 yr Author Decline and Fall looks like the type of niche comedy that belongs on BBC Two, like that Nina comedy-drama with Helena Bonham Carter last year. But quite an interesting cast list :o
April 1, 20178 yr I saw Decline and Fall last night. It was OK, but I suspect - as was suggested by one reviewer - I would get more out of reading the book. I was surprised to see John Woodvine in it. I thought he died years ago :lol:
