The really annoying thing about this series is that which is not fully explored. Tantalising glimpses of what could be good material in the opening sequences. In E11 it was a trio of Vauxhalls, one of them an Avenger Tiger. One of the past episodes showed a glimpse of three Jensens across the NY moors. And thats all you get. It pisses me off. A Vauxhall Avenger Tiger Really. Haven't bothered to watch the more recent episodes but if it was an Avenger Tiger, it was a Hillman rather than a Vauxhall.

My Bad, stand corrected, slip[ of the keyboard. It was a Hillman Avenger Tiger.

Oh dear.
I realise the last one I saw was the Namibia pair, which I enjoyed, mostly. I don't really think I can plough through the others - if I were to watch another, which is the best since then?
Slightly worrying, perhaps, that there are another forty eight billion episodes planned. I hope this is going to work for Amazon.
On the plus side, I enjoyed the new Reassembler programmes with James over Christmas.

If I were in your shoes, "catchup" is not an option.

No. 'throwup' might be though.
Actually, they should do that. The BBC Throwup service. You could put pretty well anything from BBC1 on it.

Funny you say that. About three weeks ago I saw the name "Tom Hardy" and deduced he must be an actor. Nerver seen it before that I remember. Then all of a sudden I keep seeing the name, and someone in the office used it the other day in conversation with someone else. I don't know who he is or what he looks like though. I COULD google, but...meh.
No, Taboo doesn't sound like my kind of thing I fear. Generally don't really do dark and evil or fiction. This week we have seen two old editions of "Divine Designs", one "Six English Towns" and an episode of "Time Team". Oh, and I've watched the first 20 minutes so far of The Blob, with Steven McQueen in his first starring role. It's terrible and I love it.

Hardy's a bit of a modern day Michael Caine. One facial expression, deployed in every character and role. Meh.

Its said his acting skills were wholly limited to the raise of an eyebrow. The right I think.

GT is a curate's egg. The 500HP alfa was classy The new fiat ragtop, ditto. The other stuff? Absolute tripe.
Oh, and Tom Hardy? See Bronson and Peaky Blinders.

Was Tom Hardy Bane in Batman? As in the one nobody could understand because he had a silly mask on?
He's done lots of bulking up for roles and then trimming down. Can't be a good idea. How does one go about easily losing muscle mass anyway?
