I enjoyed The Red King. Very, very The Wicker Man.

Says it in the first paragraph.

My apology.

This is a sad story and the tip of the iceberg. But nowhere in the article does it say that the girls were 'forced' to provide sexual services. Maybe too young to make their own informed choices and so lured into vice, is a better description based on what little information is given in the article.

I watched the first episode of The Regime. I would usually watch at least two episodes of a series before deciding if it's viewable, but didn't need to. It's leaden, crass and unfunny. Its writing is an insult to intelligence (I even enjoy Palm Royale for heaven's sake). Just a heads up.

I didn't warm to Shardlake until the second episode was well underway but the series was good I think, though I'm no usual watcher of the medieval detective genre. I often have problems with colour-blind casting especially in historical settings but I have no serious complaint here, except to say th...

Thanks, I'll definitely watch the first one.

Must admit? Is enjoying a history doco just a guilty pleasure or an actual sin?

OK, so try Deep State maybe, although perhaps they aren't following the CIA and MI6 handbooks correctly! The US are trying to destabilise Mali to force a US base onto the country. Two years on and two MI6 officers are involved for a personal agenda and upset plans. Half way in and I'm finding it enj...

This isn’t new is it - my wife has been covered for as long as I’ve known her? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Respectfully he didn't say it's new, he said taking new registrations! I wonder if there are queues, given that most poor Thais I know are already registered. PS - see that BB has menti...

Sadly there's only me in my house as of last year. The function I like is the cardiovascular check, arterial monitoring, even can different between say a problem with right arm/leg over left, but I won't pay to have it imported!

Thanks guys, I've ordered the Amazfit Active in black. Not the cheapest but has good range of functions and it's not as bulky as some of their range!

I'm 67 and just starting to consider looking after myself a bit: doing moderate exercise, watching weight, I monitor blood pressure but all OK, not much else (sausage roll and espresso for breakfast will not be cancelled). Does anyone use a Fitbit or other wrist device to monitor body health? Are th...

Just a heads up, Ridley Scott's Gladiator II is due out in November this year. :) It's a sequel (they had also considered a prequel): Director Ridley Scott mentions that since he was last seen approximately 15 years ago, Lucius has been living "in the wilderness" with no connection with hi...

Don't be expecting a thriller or horror film though.

The Thai film Hunger is maybe too long for some at 2 hrs 20 mins, and subtitled. Apart from the twisted driven chef of the five star restaurant (think The Menu ) and the two gross food eating scenes (think Raw but without the cannibalism) it's about eating as an act of hunger for status versus eatin...
