I agree, Siani. It's well-worth downloading. I think we've just finished watching the penultimate episode, and, sadly, have to wait until next week to see the conclusion. Excellent mini-series.

Innuendos aside, I'm really enjoying the Night Manager, such a shame that this Sundays episode is the last one of this series - here's hoping for a second series. Another programme I have been watching on BBC2 is the re-run of the last series of In The Line Of Duty with a new series starting tomorrow evening.

Thanks for the 'psst' BarryS, I then realised that we did have the final episode. It was kind of rushed at the end, but I still really enjoyed it. Tom Hiddleston, who played the part of the night manager, would make a superb James Bond. Come on Daniel Duckface - time to step aside and let someone else have a go...

Yes I agree :) I recently watched the latest James Bond, very disappointing performance by DC :( He looks a bit old :wink:


Apparently there is a new film out in May....hopefully as good as the night manager.
"Our Kind of Traitor" is an upcoming 2016 British spy thriller film directed by Susanna White and written by Hossein Amini, adapted from John le Carré's novel of the same name. Starring Ewan McGregor, Naomie Harris, Stellan Skarsgård, Damian Lewis, and Alicia von Rittberg, the film is set to be released in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2016 by Lionsgate.

Thanks. It's really good. Perhaps one of the best mini-series I've seen.

Did anyone catch John le Carré's cameo? He's only on for a few seconds. Or, maybe it was my imagination.

Yep, that's it. Episode 4, I think. The nasty lunch scene where the issue is, superficially, the availability of lobsters.

The Bridge: Scandinavian (Danish/Swedish) detective series. Just coming to the end of series one and it's absolutely captivating. Mr.VS is definitely in love with the leading lady (Saga) who's a rather unique character and comes out with great one-liners. It has subtitles as it's (obviously) in Danish and Swedish - but don't let that put you off.

Enjoy. ;)
