    I love the character but the cases were just dull.

    Modern 2d animation doesn't take as long as it used to. I'm no expert but the fact they can reuse computer models quickly really helps. Looking online it looks like the time between announcement and release of these films has been less than a year. Just finished the most recent one. Have a couple left to watch that aren't part of the universe.

    I know it's not high grade animation but look at South Park. They can get an episode out within a a week which is how some episodes can be so topical.

    I thought there must be a significant amount of work done on them by the time they announce them.

    Retro fans of apocalyptic science fiction should make sure to tune in to Talking Pictures at 9 PM for Quatermass IV made in 1979 starring John Mills with Simon Manimal McCorkindale and Barbara Kellerman. It was the only time Nigel Kneal wrote a drama for ITV and even that wasn't intended - BBC passed on the script in 1972 and it got picked up finally in 78 by Euston Films who spent far more than the Beeb ever would have.

    Good write up here. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/26/quatermass_iv/

    So much better than the Parks & Rec attempt imho. They all look pretty well too, age has been kind.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I thought you were talking about the BBC series narrated by Sylvia Sims that often comes on before some movies on BBC 2.

    I haven’t watched any regular TV on months other but that channel sounds like it would bring me back if Eir has it

    :p

    When I was looking up about Carnival Row Season 2 I found this article from a couple days ago
    https://deadline.com/2020/05/czech-republic-host-of-amazons-carnival-row-marvels-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-says-it-is-ready-for-film-tv-resumption-1202928608/

    So filming is being allowed to resume in Czech Republic on shows such as Carnival Row, Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Wheel of Time.

    Anyone else find that when you plan on catching up on a series that it seems to put seasons out faster than normal? Like you see a show is on season 1 episode 5. "Oh must start that" Couple weeks later (maybe an exaggeration) it's on season 6 episode 7.
    Just restarting season 2 of 13 Reasons Why after starting it before back near its release and it doesn't feel like 2 years since it was released.

    Sapphire and Steel is being re-shown on Forces TV at 11 PM-12 PM Monday to Friday. The first series is on at the moment but now they have the rights it'll be repeated pretty quickly. Never saw it at the time.

    The last episode of Quatermass is on Talking Pictures next Tuesday.

    On the following Tuesday (16th June) Budgie a 1971 series staring Adam Faith starts.

    This series was before my time but I did watch a repeat sometime in the 80's I think. I will watch it again.

    There are 26 episodes over two series. The first four episodes of series one were made in B/W due to a strike.

    I used to follow all the news of new TV drama that I wouldn't get to keep up to date with.

    I got lazy with Netflix etc. and now just concentrate on not being able to keep up to date with those. :P

    Have many upcoming new shows been badly affected by the lockdown? Any good series that was struggling in ratings been canned because of the virus?

    Any series on the horizon that looks particularly good?
