Fargo.

This - The X-Files (Season 11)

The final episode of the first series of The Good Life from 1975.

Excellent stuff. Just found out that this was released in the USA as 'Good Neighbors'.

I've got all 29 episodes from 1975-78, plus extras, on a dvd box set (from Ebay) for £9. There really are some ridiculous bargains available in this area these days.

The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks.

Second season in which the adoptive parents of Natalia have been exposed as having perpetrated fraud trying to rid themselves of a special needs child by claiming she was an adult posing as a child. Natalia herself is interviewed, explaining how her adoptive mother, who had built a persona and career on being the parent of a genius child, had tried to do the same with a disabled one, only to reject said child when that failed. Still, questions remain, such as claims that Natalia had been sexual as a child, perhaps leading one to suspect sexual abuse in her past.
So far a very intriguing documentary series.

Watched the first 2 episodes of Life On Mars (UK version)

Excellent series.
The recreation of 70's Manchester is absolutely perfect, nothing looks out of place.
Philip Glenister is brilliant in this IMO.

The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat - The X-Files (Season 11)

I recently noticed there were three seasons of Archer post-coma (they lost me during the coma seasons) so I've been ploughing through them and am happy to find a show i thought was over for me returning to form.

Kitten - The X-Files (Season 11)

^Thank you. I'll hunt it down.

Familiar - The X-Files (Season 11)

After having watched our way through Doctor Who season 10 we proceeded on to season 11 which started with the 2017 Christmas special:

"Twice Upon a Time"



...and this episode did not contain the regeneration telegraphed by the previous episode. Peter Capaldi, the twelfth Doctor, continued on with help from the first Doctor...not played by William Hartnell, who originated the role in 1963 and passed away in 1975, but rather convincingly by David Bradley. And both Doctors were resisting regeneration.

Though William Hartnell did not appear in this episode I think it is worth mentioning that he insisted the production crew take the show seriously in 1963–1966 even though they were not so-inclined, because it was just a "kid's show." He insisted they take the show seriously because he said it would "stand the test of time"! There is no way he could've known just how right he was.

Then we continued on with:

"The Woman Who Fell to Earth"



...in which we meet the thirteenth Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker. While all of the Doctors seem to have some ADHD, Jodie Whittaker's makes me tired!


And then we continued our way on through to the final season 11 episode:

"The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos"

Walking Dead season 10
