Are there any shows that are helping you get through the strange days we're living through?
I like those reality competitions e.g. the Bake Off, Sewing Bee, Best Home Cook, Pottery Throwdown etc. And things like Bridgerton and Winx, which are total fantasy escapes from reality.
I also remembered Detectorists. Does anyone watch that? A nice, subtle series with nothing horrible happening.
Does anyone remember Sapphire & Steel?
I loved it, but found it quite chilling and strange, but I suppose it was meant to be.
I particularly liked the ending...
Oh yes, it terrified me. I didn't watch many episodes. Do you remember the one with the WWI soldier who kept singing Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag? That gave me the willies.
It sort of rings a bell.
My memory for details in books, movies, tv shows etc often gets mixed up, and I only remember snippets.
But the vibe of that show was great. I think the production quality, or lack of, of that era is what made it.
