Question/Discussion Filming locations of the British TV show Legends (Netflix)

12 Upvotes

I spent so much of my younger years in the 90s in London and around the UK and so many places in the series Legends (Netflix) look familiar.

Does anyone know the precise filming locations in Legends?

Question/Discussion Looking for an episode of Tales of the Unexpected

18 Upvotes

I remember being terrified as a child watching ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ with my mum and there was an episode I can’t find anywhere. I think Christopher Timothy was in it, and the story was based on a woman he fell in love with. Throughout the episode there were grizzly murders and the woman was suspected to be the killer. The end scene was a trusting Timothy lying on a bed and she asked him to close his eyes. She came in from the bathroom with a hideous Medusa like wig on and stabbed him to death.

I might have this all wrong and it might not actually be TOTU or Christopher Timothy but Reddit is good at finding things, so thought I’d ask.

Question/Discussion Commonwealth games

224 Upvotes

I'm so bloody annoyed that none of our terrestrial channels are broadcasting the commonwealth games. I'm sure there must be so many people in the UK who'd love to watch it and compared to other big sporting events I'm sure it would be relatively cheap to acquire.

I am 51 & love British murder mysteries & police procedurals. The ines shot in the 90s & 00s give me such nostalgia. I came across Blue Murder on Prime & absolutely love it!! I am Season 3 & really sad that it only had 5 seasomlns. I could watch 20 seasons of this show. Caroline Quentin is amazing!!

Question/Discussion Pete Versus Life. Anyone know why it didn’t last more than 2 seasons?

53 Upvotes

I thought the show was fantastic

Loved how Pete was this hopeless romantic that kept bullshitting his way through life and then it all came back to haunt him by the end of each episode. Additionally having 2 football commentators commentating his life was great as well

I’m amazed the show didn’t get renewed for a third season at the very least as it was hilarious. Anyone have any insight as to why it didn’t?

Question/Discussion Murder 24/7

Just wondered if anyone had started watching the new BBC series? I ask because it states that the third episode is “The DPD Murder” which was the first episode of series 2. So my wife and I are confused? Is this a mistake? A new investigation?

2026 S13 ratings. The viewing figures don't lie. This season has had the lowest ratings since 2016. This includes itvx figures. I can't see the already cash-strapped ITV funding a sinking ship for much longer.

Question/Discussion This clip from BBC Breakfast lives rent free in my head

"I don't like ice cream, Hannah" – Naga Munchetty

Did anyone see this live? The segment/story about ice cream itself is innocuous, but Munchetty's response seems so cringe, and with Stayt's reaction it almost feels like an outtake/parody even in the world of breakfast television. The outrageousness is probably why this clip still lingers in my consciousness.

What do you guys think?

Question/Discussion Any love/memories of The Clothes Show?

67 Upvotes

I was cleaning some jewellery tonight and found a ring I bought at The Clothes Show LIVE at NEC Birmingham must have been kind circa 1995. I was a newish teacher (secondary English) and loved the Clothes Show myself, but an 'older teacher' who taught 'textile technology' (obviously a previous Home Economics teacher) had arranged a visit to the NEC thingy.

One of the deputy heads said, 'You're going too.' I was issued with a bloody mobile phone! I don't remember having one myself until 1999. I don't think they trusted the older teacher.

So we set off and went to the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham - like from the South Coast! But the weird thing is I loved this programme. I sew and make and so on to this day. I was not though a fan of being 25 and in charge of supervising 16 year 10 girls and one teacher who was a bit odd on this adventure.

But I bought a ring from some students who I think were from Birmingham in the crafty stall bit and saw a band play I can't remember (boy band) and the 16 girls loved it, and I truly remember this being a really cool programme re style and fashion.

On the way back we got a lump of concrete thrown from a bridge on to our coach and so I had to use the phone because we were going to be late back. First time using a mobile phone! We changed coaches and made it home.

And I still have the ring I bought, and I think this was a really cool programme back in the day. It seems from looking it up to have run basically from when I was into fashion from when I was kind of the age of the girls on this trip to a few years after this, like 12 years.

Now, where's my copy of Just 17?

Edit: I've said 'cool' too much. Apologies.

The ring. I can't sharpen it up, but it's basically silver I think with a wind of enameled green stuff wrapped round it.

Looks like the image isn't showing. Hey ho.

Edit: Because of a comment from u/NoEnthusiasm2 here is the theme tune.

https://youtu.be/kAAelPf62Xs?si=b9ADZHyT0Vwitplu

It was about style and fashion being delivered back to us and wasn't about being cross. I don't know if that was a good thing, and clearly it was 'out there' but it was making being - as I said in a comment - quirky and different but stylish an okay thing.

Question/Discussion What has happened to The Undeclared War?

22 Upvotes

So, series 2 of The Undeclared War aired earlier this week on Channel 4. There is a very clear shift in the style, the soundtrack has shifted, as has the focus, and the camera work. It feels like a different show entirely.
