BBC4 Saturday evening

Thank goodness for BBC4 on a Saturday evening! We've enjoyed most of the offerings at 9pm - and this latest one does look as if it'll be good.
We've been watching Homeland on Netflix, caz, as we hadn't followed it earlier. We're hooked now!

I also intend to give BBC4 a go tomorrow evening because otherwise for me there is zilch. I missed Spiral which I believe was excellent.

I loved the first series of Homeland but missed the next. There are many programme repeats but never the ones that I want.

BBC4 on a Saturday evening has been my staple for a few years now. Admittedly I have usually recorded them, rather than watched them at the time, but the programmes have always been excellent.

"In Hebrew with subtitles."
Subtitles are a no no here.
I can't see to read them.

Not even with glasses on? Are you long or short-sighted? I am long sighted and have problems with shiny reflective surfaces, but I can read subtitles.

I need sunglasses to watch programmes with sub-titles or instant migraine!

I had never thought of using those - but I do have night vision glasses for driving, after years of wearing sunglasses.

BBC 4 for me, the programme about the Sumatran tigers was excellent.
I am lucky in having a lot of high quality programmes from French, Dutch, Belgian and many other Countries here on cable which is the norm.
I must say French and Dutch TV is excellent, compared with the often sad offerings from the EBC.

I bought a roku 1 streaming box from Tesco on my holidays. Saturday night TV is awful, so I am catching up on the things I missed since losing my recording ability when the sky box died. At the moment I have on a comedy film via Netflix.

I think we would get one if our broadband connection was better.

Saturday TV is truly dreadful! Wallander was excellent, but like all good things etc! We usually turn to the Discovery or Geographic/History channel. Sub titles are no problem, so may be we'll give Hostage a whirl on catchup, and see how it goes.

I've just finished watching series 4 of Game of Thrones; try to watch 2 episodes a night but ended up watching 5 today...keep having to see what's going to happen next. Am I the only person on gransnet that's addicted to it? I've been on the edge of my seat watching today [ and shed lots of tears as well].

No, I've not watched that, although I have wondered about it. If it does the rounds again I shall certainly watch.

I enjoyed the first two episodes of Hostages, a good story line which kept me sufficiently interested to want to see more. The sub titles were a bit of a issue, but I got accustomed to them eventually.

I caught up with it last night - I thought it was very good. However, I am pretty sure the plot is identical to one in NCIS a few years ago!
