What will you be watching on TV tonight (2025)?

DD and I are working our way through season two of Twin Peaks. I think there’s two episodes left. good thing because I can’t deal with much more of this. Way too strange. I hope she won’t make me watch the movie and the other 2017 season. :sad:
 
No Super Bowl for us, we found a new older series on Britbox, and we watched one of those - the series being Play for Today, which Wikipedia says ran from 1970-1984, for a whopping 300+ individual standalone episodes.

Never heard of it, and we loved the one we saw. ‘70’s British TV just has a certain…look about it (the same is true of American ‘70’s TV as well, of course) - the style is so dated, so are the title cards and credits and all that, but it a good way, a really good way.

The only quibble I have is, for whatever reason, Britbox doesn’t present them like episodes of a series, but as individual programs, so you really have to know what you’re looking for to find them all. They do that with a couple of other shows as well, and it’s infuriating.

But, anyway, it was really good, and we followed that up with the first of a three-part presentation of Agatha Christie’s “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?” - the 2022 one, written and directed by Hugh Laurie. First installment was ok, but nothing to get excited about.

Finished up the night with an episode from season 3 of Only Murders in the Building. I don’t even care whodunit, I just like watching the chemistry between Steve Martin Short & Gomez.

I didn't watch it. I watched half a dozen games when in Cincinnati a few years ago, and even though I had two experts explaining the game to me, still hadn't got a clue what was going on.
Each game has its complications, I suppose. Ever tried explaining cricket to someone?
"You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. When all those who were in, are out, and all those who were out have been in, that's the end of the game"

I also watched some of series three Only Murders in the building last night!
I love Gomez’ droll delivery, like Mabel’s been around for a few hundred years and seen it all.
But like you I couldn’t care less about the plot 😂
 
We'll be watching "The Voice" tonight for 2 hours. I usually just listen and play games on my phone. DH is really into watching it so whatever makes him happy, I don't really have anything else that I want to see.

What games do you like to play on your phone? I think I could do with some for when I'm waiting for Mr SSOAP while he has physio.

Last night I played Lego Star Wars on the playstation. The boys were very excited that mum was going to be a gamer 😆

All I can say is I'd better never ever try to fly a real plane 💥 😂

I like a game called "word trip" where you unscramble letters. It's a free app in play store on Android phones. It actually exercises your brain I think.
