    It didn't.
    The worst thing you could do is to join a show that late. Lofty expectations can't be matched
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Breaking Bad (and Better Call Saul) are marmite, I loved BB and BCS is close to being as good, but if you don't like it, then you don't like it
    If you did like it then the movie is worth watching to find out what happened to Jessie if nothing else.

    Prism - a play staring Robert Lindsay, currently on tour. If you can go and see it, please go. Lindsay really is one of our finest actors. I absolutely love watching him on stage, he never disappoints.
    I don't really believe in the honours system but he really should be a Knight of the Realm.

    Guilt, BBC 2, Dark comedy, most enjoyable.

    The Mrs has been recording this on BBC Scotland for the past few weeks.

    Recommended by a friend; watched the first episode and wasn't keen but so many people have now said it gets better that I must give it another go.

    Guilt is absolutely superb. A bit Fargoesque in my opinion - lots of little twists and turns.

    The Serengeti Rules; a documentary on BBC4 about the discovery of 'keystone' species; explains why wolves have been reintroduced to Yellowstone etc. The scientists involved have been studying this for many decades. As someone who worries terribly about what we're doing to the planet this film gives me a bit of hope for the future. Might sound a bit dull but the commentary and the photography is a joy. Going to rewatch it again tonight as there's so much to take in. [ps you'll never look at a starfish in the same way again.....]

    My bets ... Roman Kemp (all the girlies will be voting for him) 5/1.. and outside bet James Haskell 20/1


    Caitlyn Jenner will inherit a lot of support, but I can't see her having the balls to go the distance. Ian Wright was talked up as the winner before it started, but he's not shown any form to match those expectations thus far - early days, mind.

    Not much liquidity in specials markets like this, not like the days when DJ Sunset used to pump a few grand in, mainly on Big Brother.

    Responsible Child; BBC2. As if I'm not traumatised enough by the election I've just watched this. Oh my life; what an acting performance by the young boy.

    He was brilliant wasn’t he! Quite incredible that they are tried in an adult court at that age.

    I can't stop thinking about it. I hope the boy it was based on has found some sort of happiness. It didn't help that the actor reminded me of my grandson....

    Afterlife was good

    Found it by accident before and it was pretty enjoyable
