So with permission granted (thanks george)........anyone on here into gaming? GTA V which is currently free on the Epic Games store I downloaded that one, normally don't play PC games outside of Football Manager but wasn't turning that offer down - anyone else interested in it, just register an account on Epic Games in the next few days to claim it free of charge (registering is free as well). Currently have a number of different games on the go - my Football Manager 2020 save with Derby, Zelda: Links Awakening on the Switch & Red Dead Redemption 2 which I just downloaded on Xbox Game Pass. |

Friday night dinner. A brilliant series that involves the Goodman Family coming together for friday night dinner; unfortunately it never goes to plan and something is always going wrong. Sorry to bump this (especially quoting the opening post too) but cannot agree enough with this - I can't believe the show started in 2011 and I've only just heard of it now. During the lockdown time a secondhand Chromecast from my brother-in-law and the All4 app have been an absolute godsend. While working my way through Peep Show (some moments of which were a bit uncomfortable for me and I think series 9 might have been better done differently) I came across the trailers for FND and decided to give it a go. Brilliant stuff, worth watching alone for the Mark Heap character who lives next door (as well as the dads catchphrase when things go wrong!). A mate pointed me in the direction of Toast of London, but I think this one needs a few views as it strikes me as the sort of comedy where you have to look for the half-hidden 'obtuse' type references. In recognition of FND, I'm updating my sig  |

]Mark Heaps character just makes the show. Love the Siq. "But Lydia is no where near Wilson" "No I meant nearest for me to reach" Oh I know, brilliant  , there’s so many moments of pure gold but I don’t want to say too much in case members start to look in and I’ve posted a few spoilers  Time to fire up the Chromecast and continue with series 3 |

I was just re-playing Zelda Phantom Hourglass the other day and just got reminded of how much of a masterpiece the whole Legend of Zelda franchise is. The focus on the Ocarina of time as a "centre game" and the split of various timelines, each with their own story and each game having a link to another is honestly a genius. Seeing as I've just re-finished Phantom Hourglass I'll probably go back and have a go at Wind Waker again which was another wonderful game for the Adult Timeline. They have a wonderful sense of mystery to them and after you finish a game it brings closure but also doesn't at the same time. |

This might shock you but Links Awakening is the first Zelda game I've ever played (never touched any others, was always Mario & Pokemon on the Gameboy). I do have plans to pick up Breath of the Wild given the huge acclaim it got but the trouble with Switch games is they retain their value for way too long. I've now got Need for Speed Heat as it was on offer on the Xbox store as it peaked my interest having played a number of them in the franchise - a decent game and brings some touches from the classic ones like Most Wanted & Underground 2. I've also returned to Pokemon Sword & Shield in preparation for the DLC coming out this month so got a lot on the go - have shelved Red Dead as a result |

A link to the past; links awakening, ocarina of time and breath of wild are the best ones |

The series evolves around the Disaster and what happened afterwards a really good watch one of the best things on tv last year and the awards speak for themselves. |

The Actor who plays the Dad on Friday night dinner (Paul Ritter) is also fantastic in the Sky Atlantic/HBO mini series Chernobyl I read about this in the YouTube comments section of the 'S##t on It' compilation video.....I had heard it had been well received and awards are a hot topic with it. Must be a really good versatile actor to be able to do comedy and something really serious while pulling it off in both. Same goes for Simon Bird, when I saw the trailers I thought that being Channel 4, he would just remind me of The Inbetweeners but didn't at all, no other show was anywhere near my mind My favourite rendition of the dad's catchphrase is the incident involving Auntie Val's dress |

Actors that can do both comedy and serious are great. What I find with some actors is that because they are so well known for there comedy parts you just can't take them seriously in other rules for example there's a series on Netflix called Spaceforce with Steve Carell and unfortunately all I could think of was Michael Scott from the office when watching that show. |

Are you talking about this one No, the comments section in this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCUF_LWZ6lA but thanks for that I think the dad is my favourite character overall, they're all excellent though, Mark Heap is probably second but Tamsin Grieg is a very convincing 'mumsy' character and the two boys morphing back into 12 year olds on a Friday is played really well too. |

Time to fire up the Chromecast and continue with series 3
