Watching it at the moment. It is weird as f**k. Three episodes in and I will see it through to the end, the Twin Peaks meets Happy Valley comparison seems spot on. Definitely worth a watch

Six-part thriller set on the Red Eye flight from London to Beijing. Whilst escorting a doctor being renditioned, an incident on-board leads DC Hana Li to uncover a wider conspiracy.
Red Eye is the collision of three worlds – DC Hana Li (Jing Lusi), Journalist Jess Li (Jemma Moore) and MI5’s Madeline Delaney (Lesley Sharp). All three women are thrown into the same life-threatening conspiracy when a British doctor (Richard Armitage) is arrested for murder upon flying home from Beijing.
After attending a medical conference in Beijing and coming frighteningly close to dying in a car crash, Dr Matthew Nolan, played by Richard Armitage, arrives home and is immediately arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport. A dead woman was discovered in his crashed car and, despite his protests that he was driving alone, Nolan must return to China to face charges.
DC Hana Li, played by Jing Lusi, is the no-nonsense, London officer charged with accompanying Nolan back to Beijing. Born in Hong Kong and with a traumatic past, she does not want to go. So, once ordered, her resentment for this assignment, and of Nolan himself, is intense.
However, when a first death occurs onboard, Hana begins to suspect foul play and she commences an investigation. Further deaths confirm that Nolan truly is in danger, and after a call from MI5, Hana finds herself embroiled in an escalating conspiracy.
Back in London, we follow Hana’s half-sister Jess Li, a scrappy journalist played by Jemma Moore, with whom Hana has a fractious relationship. Trying to cash in on Hana’s assignment, Jess runs her own investigation into Nolan’s extradition and finds herself on the run from a lethal, unknown assassin.
And in Thames House, the head of MI5, Madeline Delaney, played by Lesley Sharp,breaks protocol and risks her entire career to not only help Hana and Nolan stay alive, but to expose an international conspiracy that seems to implicate both China and people in her own government for the murders on flight 357.

Hank Azaria plays a baseball announcer with 'issues'.
It's very funny but you might need a passing knowledge of baseball.
There are 4 series - DO NOT bother with series 2, that's dreadful but inexplicably series 1 & 3 are great.

ITVX has acquired Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, which stars the likes of Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, Taraji P. Henson, Don Cheadle and Terrence Howard.
The series is set to premiere on ITVX on 21st October, shortly after it premiered on Peacock in the US earlier in September.
Based on the acclaimed iHeart true-crime podcast, Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist follows the infamous story of how an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight changed not only one man’s life but ultimately transformed Atlanta into the “Black Mecca.” When a hustler named Chicken Man (Hart) hosts an afterparty to celebrate the fight with a guest list of the country’s wealthiest, the night ends with the most brazen criminal underworld heist in Atlanta’s history. Suspected of masterminding the crime, Chicken Man is hellbent on clearing his name but must convince his old adversary, J.D. Hudson (Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in the city’s desegregated police force, who is tasked with bringing those responsible to justice.
Currently available to watch via the, cough, usual means.

Martin Clunes will soon be back on our screens.
County lines drug-dealing and an escalating and insidious crime wave sweeping the British countryside are the subject of Out There starring Martin Clunes as a farmer confronted with dark forces seeping into his rural community.
The drama will depict the stealthy and surreptitious invasion of the land our farmer cherishes with devastating consequences as his livelihood, homestead and family life are threatened by local county lines drugs dealers who are essentially urban gangs using the British countryside as a field of operations and moving drugs and money between their inner-city hubs and provincial areas.
Martin plays Welsh farmer, Nathan, whilst Louis Ashbourne Serkis takes the role of his 15-year-old son Johnny.

^ nice to see our Martin getting some work for a change. Apparently Olivia Coleman is playing a scarecrow in one of the farmer's fields.

Appalling app. Won't even run on one of my TVs, so bought a firestick. Almost as bad.
The Discovery plus app is pretty ropey too.
As for the question, the only thing we use it for is ITV News from another region.
Bit old school but the Z family like to dip into this every now and again:

Is that the Jeremy Brett version? He was great although the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce combo in black and white is classic!Bit old school but the Z family like to dip into this every now and again:
