Oh good, as that is one of my wife's favourite programmes.
What are you watching on TV? Page 2,283
Assault on Precinct 13
The original, which I went to the cinema to see, or the remake?
Can't imagine how I missed these, but just recently caught up with Series 1 & 2 (2021/2023) of Jimmy McGovern's Time (BBC iPlayer)
Bloody Hell.
Super-gritty prison dramas with powerful performances from all concerned.
Each one's a 3-parter, so not a massive investment time-wise.
Heartily recommend if you've not seen them already.

The original
Good film but the ending was a bit of an anticlimax
Oh, I didn't even know that was a Jimmy McGovern show.

Sean Bean was very good in series 1
Goodnight sweetheart
I just noticed Ron's girlfriend Flic, is played by 'Penny' from Lost
Remembrance Sunday: The Cenotaph, which only the BBC and one of the Dimblebys can pull off with dignity.
Get's me every year when they play Nimrod, then Big Ben striking 11, then the last post, and I'm gone 😥, remembering my hero, my dad who spent 27 years in the RAF, was in North Africa in WWII and Mentioned in Dispatches for going behind enemy lines to retrieve a downed Wellington.

Anyone watching Children In Need? Who is the chap introducing it alongside the footballing woman?
Chris Ramsay?
OK, thanks. Never knowingly come across him before. Alf Ramsey, yes; Ramsay MacDonald even. But not Chris Ramsay. He seems to have a North Eastern accent.
