We record them onto our tv planner and watch them on a weekend, so will watch tonight's programme either Friday or Saturday night.

From memory it was the feeling of a closed down old psychiatric hospital ....the building gave the inspiration x

Just found this interesting thread. As I live in France, I can't get catch-up TV, so have to know what might be good in advance to set up to record it from satellite. So I really appreciate any tips!
Read Wolf Hall and it took me a while, but I do think she's a brilliant writer and so much cleverer than me! So have recorded the TV programmes and am looking forward to them.
Anyone a radio fan? Her short stories (assassination of Margaret Thatcher, etc) were recently serialised on Radio 4 and can be accessed via radio I-player( which I can get). I just love stories being read to me - a real comfort thing for me.
Also excellent at present is BBC 4 Saturday night's Spiral. I've seen the first 3 series (Engrenages from French TV) but have missed Series 4. The current one is series 5. Violent but realistic and informative particularly about French justice system.
Whilst we're sharing this sort of thing, I have followed some of the MOOC courses - great quality on huge variety of subjects. I've followed some on forensic science and police methodology that we see so often on TV. I really recommend having a look at what's available. www.FutureLearn.com
Happy viewing/listening,
Jane.

I was a student there years ago .....Yes I used to live down the road from Brookwood Hospital Kat and it's reputation was a bit eery. I haven't watched last night's episode yet but looking forward to watching it even more now

I got hooked on Spiral after a friend loaned me the boxed set. I've only managed to watch episode 1 of this series though

What a good idea using the radio to hear the stories ....I might have to try that, a new hobbie
What do you mean cleaver than you , there is a book in all of us they say ...
There is a book out called a girl on a train ...look out for it , I have it but must read it , it has already been put forward to be made into a film ...
