Watched a bundle of TV, including:

Luther - mostly enjoyable but ridiculous. I don't think he's a good actor either.
Black Lake - watching series two of this Swedish-ish slightly spooky crime drama on my own as the first one was a bit too silly for Clare. Enjoying it.
Jamie Oliver invents vegan - can't remember what this show set on Southend pier was really called but it was a bit too "hey vegan was all boring wasn't it? Don't worry I've fixed it!" for me. The filled recipe he did with Romesh Ranganathan looked good especially the simple chutneys, maybe I will give them a go. And I liked the sound of the all vegan football club. I thought Forest Hill was South London, but it's not it's in Gloucestershire somewhere.
George Clarke's tiny caravans - again can't remember the real title. He is super annoying, you just constantly get the feeling he's taking something something that he heard and repeating it as if it is his own thought. I still don't forgive him for the report where he'd said he saw a baby thrown to safety from Grenfell tower, and no-one else did, and then he backed away from this. I like to see the vanlife projects though.
Stewart Lee Content Provider - very much enjoying this, good to see it as an extension to his Comedy Vehicle show but a full length stage show. Odd to see Alan Moore in that role.
Father Brown, Death In Paradise, Grantchester - all our very gentle crime dramas are coming back, this is a good time for TV.
Manhunt - a bit of a plodder really from ITV, trying to get in on the true crime bandwagon. Starring Martin Clunes in a straight role.
