Death In Paradise - Disc 6


Death In Paradise has returned for a 6th series. Kris Marshall passed the baton to Ardal O'Hanlon about halfway through. Some of the guest stars that I recall this time around include Anna Crilly, Nigel Betts, John Marquez, Susannah Doyle, Tony Gardner, and Dominic Coleman....who turns up in almost everything anyway.

EastEnders 2017 - Disc 1


Uncle

BBC Three comedy Uncle returned for a third, and final, series. A lot of big names and familiar faces turn up in this. I'll say that much for it.

Unforgotten

Unforgotten returned for a second series. I could not get any HD recordings of the last episode to convert to .avi without the audio going progressively out of sync with the video. Tried 3 different recordings and 2 different formats. So I had to opt for a lower quality recording....if anyone notices.

Chewing Gum + Marley's Ghosts = 2

Shocking. Both Chewing Gum and Marley's Ghosts returned for a second series.

Changes in Paradise

Death in Paradise has proven to be a popular show around the English-speaking world and it's been leaked that Kris Marshall is leaving the show after the current series for the same reasons Ben Miller left a few years ago - too much time away from family. He is to be replaced by Ardal O'Hanlon who was introduced in last night's episode. If the show continues Ardal may be inclined to stick around longer as, unlike his two predecessors, I believe all his children are now in their late teens.
