Two New Series Begin Tonight....and Another Tomorrow Night

[Ken4155]

On paper, all 3 look quite promising.

The first is 'Ridley', 8pm ITV, starring Adrian Dunbar (LOD) and Bronagh Waugh (The Fall). Dunbar's character, Alex Ridley has retired from the force and lives in seclusion following the death of his wife and daughter in a house fire. Waugh plays DI Carol Farman, once Ridley's protege. The two are re-united when Farman faces a complex murder case.

The second new series is the second season of 'The Capture', 9pm BBC 1 (Sun and Mon). If you recall the first season, DI Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) is assigned to arrest and charge Special Forces LCpl Shaun emery, whose horrific crime was seemingly captured on CCTV overlooking a bus stop. This time around, news feeds have been hacked, the media is being manipulated and Britain is under attack by an unknown perpetrator and it is Carey's job to sift her way through the entanglement of lies and solve the case.

Monday's new series is 'The Suspect', made by those responsible for LOD and starring Aidan Turner (Poldark) as a 'troubled' psychiatrist. "When he is asked to profile a killer, we start to question how deeply he has immersed himself in the criminal mind - and if he actually has a secret dark life."

Thank the TV Gods for 'catch-up' and what have you :-)

A few things to 'series link' then.

I've started on House of the Dragon and looking forward to LOTR: The Rings of Power (2nd Sept).

I will watch Ridley then the capture on catch up. It's an annoying clash of two good programmes.

As I’m going to be house sitting for a days (probably wonder off into the woods with pouch) but looking forward to finally catching up and watch stranger things S4

Thanks Ken. Sounds good. We don't have Netflix anymore.

RIDLEY !!!!!

where did they get those actresses from, they are either Lesbians or grotesque lookers?

I am out of here.

Le Mans Crescent in Bolton getting another airing, Police HQ in Ridley, Bolton Council should be able to lob a big chunk off the rates, the number of time it's used!

Just watched Ridley. Quite a twist in the story.

[KUSTARD]

I really enjoyed Ridley. Thought it was much better than all the stuff that has been on lately!! Didn’t realise it was going to be separate episodes though which is great for me cos I have the memory span of a goldfish (though I have never actually asked a goldfish what it can remember). Just another comment. Couldn’t understand Squad’s reasoning. Do programmes all have to have glamorous straight actors in to be good? Oh well, there’s always Love Island!!!!!

[Ken4155]

Sqad doesn't like to watch 'gay' action. Though if he began watching it at the correct time (i.e. not on catch-up) he would have watched 3/4 of the first episode before switching off in a strop:-)
Watched it and enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next episode.
Also watched 2 episodes of The Catch and the same applies to that.

[KUSTARD]

Someone has started another thread on this Ken. Thanks for the info but I think Squad’s post is a disgrace. Answers have been removed for less

[Sqad]

KUSTARD.

////// Couldn’t understand Squad’s reasoning. Do programmes all have to have glamorous straight actors in to be good? ////

No but even a smattering of glamour might have he;ped the "medicine" go down and for God's sake can we sometimes have a TV programme without a Lesbian scene.?

[bednobs]

there was a lesbian scene??

[Ken4155]

They kissed, bednobs - a peck!

[KUSTARD]

You must have blinked and missed it Bedknobs!!! Fine on your reply to me Squad. I appreciate we all have our own opinions but don't necessarily have to foist them on others, particularly if they are so childish in this day and age.

[Sqad]

KUSTARD...point taken but I thought that AB was indeed a focus of differing opinions, however childish.

But your post is well received.

[emmie]

enjoyed Ridley, look forward to some more...

[Sqad]

Perhaps I have been a bit precipitous and harsh on Ridley.
