It’s better than I expected, Mark Clattenberg must be asking what happened to his career

So went a head & bought the Halo series off
Amazon.
Quite liked it & thought it was very good. Not your standard video game adaptation in that it was faithful to a lot of the nuances & world building of the games albeit a slightly tweak story line /canon.
As in the games, it’s cortana who makes the series work (& they got the same voice actress!) - makes me miss my old Xbox & the theme that is thirty men in a bathroom singing.
Well worth a watch if you enjoyed the games!

I hated the first series because it diverged from the games so much, and removed the mystery of the Chief.
However, the trailer for S2 looks a lot more interesting

I do get that but I don’t think it’s divulged too much from the game lore too much….yet.
Yes we don’t see the M/Chf face in the game but he does remove his helmet. A lot of the Halo lore is covered in the books & mini movies such as forward unto dawn.
The first part of the series felt “off” & I think that’s due to the world building, lack of cortana & non game music. The attention to detail on the uniform, covenant & visuals is spot on. I do like that the show runnings refer to the series as the “silver” timeline to give it a slight difference from the game.
Season 2 looks like it’s going to be the fall of Reach (which we remember) so quite excited about that & if they can get master chief in a cryo pod before he arrives on halo I think that would be a good touch.
I would like it to have a little bit more humour perhaps a red vs blue reference or even a Project Freelancer side plot.

Just watched the penultimate episode of Traitors. Thoroughly enjoyable and addictive watching. I reckon we should get onto the production company to do a junior version, using cadets from all the services.

Or as it’s normally refered to in RAFAC, “JL” 
It’s finally here!!
A JL wouldn’t be able to hide that they’re the traitor. They’d get patches made up and tell everyone all the time

I got part way through applying for the next series, then realised the day job would probably block me going on if selected

That final episode was so tense right up to the end. If you’ve not watched the series it’s well worth it.

Just how much is Finlay going to be crated for being on Gladiators?
Watching the Michael McIntyre big show after gladiators & part of it was that the “send to all” where they invite everyone on Joe Lynett’s phone to come to a party live opposite the theatre where it’s being filmed & see who turns up.
A group in the audience invited their cousins who couldn’t get tickets to show up to the party & they were the first there 
A really very honest (and quite short) documentary about the realities of running 200 mile races:
Watched that saltburn last night…what the…
The Ted prequel tv series is outstanding.
I had no idea such a thing existed.
