    I've never said Agamemnon was completely wrong! Anyone with

    the, Doctor Who is being made to sexually groom children and
    RTD/Ncuti Gatwa are perverts (etc.) sort of thing that lets
    his opinion down. A cohesive argument could be made about
    woke messaging being inserted in to modern television
    programmes. AGA just chooses to go off on a rant instead of
    putting forward a sensible point of view on the subject.

    So your opinions on Towards 0, 10 pound Poms and Dope Girls if
    you have seen them yet.

    At the moment, two episodes out of three in, "Towards Zero" gets
    a 4/10. I could have used the BBC iPlayer to watch it all in one
    go but the first episode was so slow I just didn't have the
    willpower.

    "Towards Zero" is standard Mammoth Screen produced Agatha
    Christie fare though... it looks good; excellent costumes and
    beautiful scenery, the story gets messed around a bit - with
    seemingly pointless sub-plots added, plus there's plenty of out
    of place casting for a period drama set in the 1940's. They
    excelled themselves this time though, as they also threw-in a
    steamy sex scene on the stairs that Mrs Christie most certainly
    didn't write! I'm not sure if I am looking forward to the last
    episode on Sunday or not. It can only get better I suppose.

    Whilst I haven't seen, or intend to see, "Ten Pound Poms" or
    "Dope Girls" ... but judging by the sound of them I doubt they
    would rate much higher than "Towards Zero"... which in turn
    means Mrs Blueshirt would probably love them! (If she could tear
    herself away from The Kardashians.)

    With "Reacher" back on Prime and "Daredevil: Born Again" on
    Disney+ I'll take a break from BBC1 drama shows until April
    12th...

    All we can do is live in hope Dave... but two episodes are
    usually a good indication of what to expect from the third one.

    Hopefully, less cunnilingus and more murder!!!

    I think I'll pass thanks... they don't sound that interesting.

    Thanks for your recommendations though.

    Yes I do like. "Reacher" is very good! "Daredevil: Born Again"
    is a bit on the slow side though.... well, so far anyway.
