It doesn’t go by any other name that I’m aware of, DO, but the title is taken from a book called ‘Ball Four’ which pre-dates the Maverick’s story by a couple of years.

Ball Four is one of the best sports books I've ever read.

Over a week later and I’m still thinking about it. A really great drama.

Really wasn't bothered about watching it as not a great fan of the Beatles if truth be told, but watched Yesterday yesterday. What a super little film. Made me appreciate the fab Four a bit more I think as wonderfully told. One fantastic bit in there which won't spoil if haven't seen, had a tear in eye and a ' oh if only' thought in head. Dreadful under use of Sarah Lancashire but never mind.

It’s lovely isn’t it - really nice viewing.

As you say great little film and quite unexpected. Who’d thought that Tamwar from EastEnders could sing so well! Some lovely touches with Ed Sheeran too.

Bought the dvd a couple of years ago. Love it!
Watching Kasabian on Sky Arts. Feeling sad all over again that they’ve split up.
Watching Baptiste, in lack of anything else on a Sunday: how mis cast is Fiona Shaw? Did fall asleep during last week's so think I have lost some of the plot but not sure that really matters to be honest!.

Write Around the World with Richard E Grant. What a gem of a series. I’m rewatching it because, as usual I tend to fall asleep as I watch it late at night. But there’s so much to take in and there are authors I’ve never heard of ( including a drummer* from Genesis who isn’t Phil Collins: phew, and Carol Drinkwater. I had no idea that she was a world famous author these days.).It was interesting watching the episode about Spain as I’ve just watched the documentary about Hemingway. *although he does mention ticks which I found a bit unnerving as both me and the dog have been bitten recently. The dog is oblivious to it but I’m convinced I’m going to come down with Lyme disease…..
If you've seen Field of Dreams this is worth a look.

This is cool - love that film.

Anyone know if possible/probable that Annika will be available on DVD to buy as don't have Alibi and anything with the excellent Nicola Walker is worth spending the money. Really sad she's not in any more Unforgotten though - sorry spoiler alert.

The first couple of seasons of Norsemen on Netflix are good. First original comedy that I laughed at in a while.
I ordered series one of Britannia after seeing a trailer for series three on the tv but it hasn’t arrived yet. Was looking forward to watching it.
Stephen. Had my reservations as thought nothing new could be learnt really from watching it, but really worth it. Well cast and very well done.
Without wishing to spoil anything but yet again what happens to main detective at the end is/was absolutely outrageous.
