is anyone watching this spectacular programme, if not then tune in, its awesome :yes:
Truly amazing - glued to the TV, dont know who matches the music to the scenes but they are worth their salary and more. Wait for the awards rolling in for this series!!, professionalism at it highest level.
Coming in Jan 2017 to BBC America here in the US. I might buy a new tv just for it....ultra HD 4k. I will say that absolutely no one matches British cinematography that I've found. Can't wait to see it.

Go on Jim treat yourself, you will not regret it.
What channel is it on? I've recently just bought a 4K Samsung curved telly and the picture quality is awesome.
BBC 1 - 8PM Sunday, catch up on i-player, today was the second episode.
I've watched both so far, its an excellent programme.

Interesting that you say that. My son-in-law bought one last year and while I was watching it I started to feel ill. That feeling went away when I stopped watching it. Not sure what caused it but the picture was fantastic. I hope that doesn't happen with this one.

Good to know. Thx for mention it :punk:
WELL !!!! virginiajim which model/size 4K tv have you gone for :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:
Samsung UN55KS8000 (55 inch). Paid a little more for it but the reviews were good, it was one of the best sellers, and the on-line vendor is based in Virginia. I've bought things from them in the past and their customer service is top notch. Got the Directv changed out for a Genie last Friday and upgraded the remote units as well. While the tech was here he didn't like how the last tech wired from the sat receiver and is getting someone to come in on Tuesday to revamp that. So the plan is to take the living room Sony LCD to my daughter's room and move her small one to the grandkids room.
When I asked him about the 4k connectivity to the Genie he said don't bother paying extra for that until Directv gets more 4k channels. Said a new sat is going up next year to handle that.
The TV is so thin that they have an extension box with all the terminals on it so it's not a bugger to get wired. The TV is wireless and network cable ready so I'll attach it into my wired network and go direct to Netflix and Amazon (hopefully) without going through my DVD player. It's supposed to arrive this Monday.

it's all your fault virginiajim,after reading this i went looking for a smart tv with a bigger screen than my 49'',looked at lg's,samsung's,sony's ect,ect,i ended up getting a sony bravia 55XD8599BU-55''4K LED TV,i was amazed at how good the picture is,4K is absolutely pin sharp,i decided on sony as my 350 watt soundbase & bluray player are also sony.well happy with the set up i now have.
will I be able to have my Grundig Black & White set modified :whistling:
I'm thinking not. I have a Grundig valve Stereo in the basement lab. I've started collecting valve radios with the intent to recondition them at some point. Have an old Telefunken console stereo that my dad bought while we were at Upper Heyford.
By the way, the Samsung is magnificent. I especially like connecting to Netflix and Amazon straight through it. I have it wired into my home network.
I'll call round to view Jim, I could bring a drop of Irish whiskey with me :mfr_lol:
Any time you're in my neck of the woods you're always welcome, whiskey or not. :mfr_lol:
I would love to visit Jim, I've only been to the States once on a 6 day business trip when I visited San Antonio in Texas, about 1985 I think.
The same offer is open to you, it would be great if you could visit, I know other members would also like to meet you :yes:
It would be an emotional trip for me. Haven't been back since the fall of 1968. Do you still have mods and rockers?

I don't think so Jim, I reckon they have morphed into other, much less pleasant creatures :mfr_lol:
Here's some archive footage for you to muse over (I must say it took me back to the good old days) ...enjoy

Isn't Charlie a mod? :mfr_lol:
I don't see any scooters in his collection..so I'm thinking not.
