What's on the box

[Ladygardener]

I've watched all those series of NCIS and no, it's not the same without Abbi and Tony but Ducky may not be far away. I'm up to series 16. I really liked Ziva when she was in it too.

[Barbara]

It wasn't something I watched a lot the last couple of series, just if I came across it, I like Ziva too Ladygardener,

[Ladygardener]

I'll be watching the Australian Open Mens Final tomorrow morning at 08.00hrs on Eurosport. It should be a smashing match.

[Tig]

Grantchester was weird last night without Sidney!

I love NCIS Ladygardener, where has Abbi gone?

It's one of the things that is bearable on daytime TV - loads of them just one after the other!

[Ladygardener]

On to other things unfortunately Jasmine. Nobody can take her place for me 'tho.

I did like how Leonard stepped up and did some sluething and I like the new Vicar. I was never a fan of Sidney 'tho.

[Jasmine]

She was quite unique Ladygardener, but I think that could be said of a lot of the NCIS characters...Ducky and the little older lady in NCIS Los Angeles, her name escapes me at the moment!

Hetty Jasmine. I remember her from one of the bond films.


Endeavour starts back on our screens on 10th February. Another one of my favouries.

[Jasmine]

That's it Ladygardener, I could see her in a Bond film!

[Jasmine]

Thought I was going to manage CTM this week without shedding a tear until Miss Higgins turned up with the rose 😢

[Missredhead]

That was sad wasn't it Jasmine? Even I had watery eyes..

I thought that Grantchester was odd without Sidney too...hope the new guy brings something into it...loved Geordies new suit...😁

I am an ardent NCIS fan....I watch all three lots...LA, New Orleans and the normal one with Gibbs..

Me too Missredhead.

Jasmine she was a killer in it. Russian I think and when I first saw her on NCIS she had'nt changed a bit!!

[Barbara]

Call the midwife was sad, the poor baby with the hare lip.

Only one more Les Mis., I'll be glad when it's over but I've had to stay with it to see what happens, I've never fancied the book.

[Jasmine]

She has a very distinctive look too Ladygardener, like Abbi!


It was the unkindness of the others in the hospital and her neighbours in CTM - perhaps it would still sadly be the same - just ignorance.

[Barbara]

That was the last SW last night, it seemed to fly past this series.

[Tig]

I thought the same, and Vera on Sunday. Looking forward to a new series of Endeavour next week, but he looks odd with a tache!

[Ladygardener]

I agree, both series were over very quickly.

[Barbara]

I'm going to record ''endeavor'' tomorrow, I've never watched it before, we used to watch 'Morse' I assume it's in the same vein.

[Tig]

It was Morse the early years Barbara, repeats of the original series have been showing on ITV 3 for quite a while. Roles & relationships have changed at the start of the new series so will have to seen how it develops.

[Ladygardener]

It's well worth watching Barbara, enjoy.

I was'nt too impressed with how Grantchester has developed. I don't like how Leonard has changed from being so gentle and understanding to being so waspy. Will hitting him seemed way out of order too.

[Tig]

Totally agree with you LG, the characters appear to have had personality transplants! Come back Sidney

[Barbara]

We enjoyed Endeavor last night, I didn't realise it was 2 hours long though, glad we recorded it and could rush through the ads.

[Tig]

I watched Shetland last night, decided never to go there, far too many gruesome crimes, bit like St Marie, but colder!

[Auricula]

Ahh.... but it does have Douglas Henshall

[Barbara]

I watched 'Baptiste' last week, lord knows why I'll be a nervous wreck by the end of the 6 shows, all about missing girls again.

[Auricula]

We've got Baptiste, Traitors, Vera, Endeavour, Grantchester all queued up ready to go

[Auricula]

We're catching up with Grantchester and it seems that since Sidders went the others are becoming characatures of themselves

[Tig]

LG & I both thought the same Auricula.

The acting in Death in Paradise is far too wooden this series, it is beginning to distract me from the plots.

Endeavour was watchable - I am wondering if Thursday has been planted to root out the corrupt cops in the Met CID! Morse with a moustache just isn't right though.
I'm thinking I may not be able to watch Baptiste to the end, bit too tense.

[Barbara]

I recorded Endeavour to watch later in the week Tig,.

[Tig]

Endeavour was a bit tense tonight, I stuck with it though, brave girl I am

Baptiste has been recorded, I may, or may not watch it. Even more tense, and violent!

Could do with more light relief, comedy that is funny, I'm finding a lot of 'new' comedy programmes do not amuse me.
