Costume drama or gritty spy drama?

What sort of Sunday night viewer are you?

I don't do period/costume dramas, although I suppose 1983 technically old. I don't generally do sub titles either, but I'll give Deutschland 83 a try

Watching a film or series with subtitles makes me feel Knowledgeable and Superior

But then I realised I'm normal

Recording Ch4 & ITV to fast forward through the adverts later.

Nothing on TV for months, then 4 things all at once...

(You forgot "Dracula: Prince of Darkness" - though in these days of xhamster, I suspect the old Hammer films may seem more tame than I remember as an innocent teenager...

)

It depends where I am. Tonight we watched old Dr Who Christmas specials and the time of the Doctor,because I'm with the daughter who has proper television. Usually I'd be watching whatever film my son in law put on or an American children's series.

Yes, but he looks like he died 70 years ago and was dug back up. He's never been in the best of shape but Jeezus!!!

I'm glad it has. I haven't really used the German I did for A Level for 30 years.

I might save it for a binge watch after I have a few episodes recorded.

Deutschland 83 for me.

I think I've been on the 'set' they used for the offices in the opening sequence.

It's the Stasi Museum in (East) Berlin I think

War and Peace looks very well done - stunning sets and costumes, and even the Napoleonic war scenes seemed realistic.

Jim Broadbent, Brian Cox and Ade Edmonson too

It's a 6-parter!

Isn't it funny how attractive became, so suddenly?

I think the uniforms remained remarkably clean in all that mud.

I'm onto Endeavour now.

We're a bit late catching up, we've just managed to work out we missed the last episode of the last series, so haven't a clue what the start is all about
