Van Der Valk

Friday Night Dinner - Disc 3

The 5th episode of this series was an unusually weak one and the 6th one sure had the feeling of a "final" farewell episode. Is that it for this one?

All Round to Mrs. Brown's - Series 4


The Big Night In - sketches

Last weekend there was a 3-hour charity appeal telethon on behalf  of those in the UK stricken with the virus. I made a 21-minute edit of the Miranda, Dawn French-Vicar of Dibley, Catherine Tate & David Tennant "Lauren", Peter Kay "Amarillo 2020" and Matt Lucas & David Walliams "Very Little Britain" sketches that you can download here, but the link is good for this month only.

Modern Family


Hollywood sitcom Modern Family came to close last night. I have nice HD files for this but they won't convert down to AVI so I had to grab what I could find.  Since I had no control over the process I was unable to make them fit onto a single disc.

Liar - Series 2

The Trouble with Maggie Cole

This was promoted as being a comedy, and then once it began was called a comedy-drama. I'd call it light drama. There isn't much comedy about it unless Mark Heap or Dawn French making a "face" hits your funny bone. I think they were trying to give it a Doc Martin feel, but it ended up with a Mount Pleasant vibe (deficient story, weak writing complete with a final episode pathetic "disaster" that may have been the most laughable part of the show).  By 2020 standards, a classic for sure. Look for it to return for another four series.
