    Came across a good BBC Series from 2003 on UK TV / Dave - "State Of Play".

    The Yanks made a film of the same name in 2009, I think it was, with Ben Affleck and Russell Crowe.
    Yank film storyline is similar but not as much meat to it (90-120 minutes compared to 360 minutes plus).
    Mystery/Thriller - right up my street.
    Hope the chemo is going alright Redeb ?

    2 weird recommendations

    I'd recommend getting the entire Adam West batman tv series on dvd if you've time to spare in recovery.

    And on golden pond if you want to drift off with a less intense/surreal theme

    Used to be my Sunday recovery viewing after a rough weekend, when the brain was drained

      I can remember watching some of the Adam West Batman series (was it in the 60s/70s?) - they were nicely light-hearted.
      I really enjoyed the "recent" films with Christian Bale - meaty.
      Chemo's up and down, I occasionally feel shit but mostly OK (ish!) - thanks for asking. The football, and this forum, keep my spirits up a lot. I've just bought a Liverpool Echo publication - Kings of Europe, celebrating 50 years of LFC in Europe. Really enjoy reading it - some good memories. I'm 69 so have some great memories to look back on.
      Thanks, CCTV.
      There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief

        Good to hear Redeb, sounds like you are taking the chemo relatively well and are in good spirits. Hopefully you get the all clear and get to build on those great memories.
        Some of you older lads have obviously seen LFC at its greatest and nice you've seen Klopp bring back the PL title and no6.
        Those batman episodes are funny as fuck and very light hearted and comical. The dark Knight series was excellent, still second to the kerpow era for me.

        • Watched 'The Martian' surprisingly entertaining

          • I watched a film called "Vengeance" on Amazon. It's a directorial debut from a BJ Novak (The Office). Didn't really know what to expect but it was unexpectedly good.

            Also, I've been watching Breaking Bad while on the treadmill. I didn't watch it when it came out. I think it's a really good story.

                • Guardians of the Galaxy 3 - a rather enjoyable movie that pulled on the heart strings, a little lacking in some parts for consistency and quality of direction. But a definite worthwhile watch if you like all the superhero type movies.

                  • Dark waters - features the Hulk actor, and looks at the history of a lawyer up against dupont over the hazardous impacts of teflon. Slow enough paced, but a decent watch. Hadn't heard about this before.

                    • I'm not a huge film watcher...Watched 'Cocaine Bear' the other week though...Wasn't bad...

                      • Phoenix nights, Max and paddy, Partridge, Early doors, The Royale family. All brilliant box sets. Definitely the 90/00's comedies were the best.
                        Making of the mob(Chicago) unreal.

                        • The Arnold Schwarzenegger three part documentary on Netflix is really good.

                            • Been watching "I, Claudius" on BBC iplayer. What a superb series. I've seen it before, many years ago and I'm finding I appreciate it more this time around.
                              How accurate do people think this is, to what went on in Rome back in those days?

                                I'm not sure but I love this sort of stuff, and somehow missed it on iplayer

                                Cheers
