New Midsomer Murders set in an amateur theatre company straight out of the West End with Sam Spiro,Jenna Russell,Clive Rowe and Alexander Hanson all in prominent roles. Load of nonsense but good to see musical theatre actors getting telly roles.

The Sixth Commandment is superb so far: we watched episode one yesterday, though all four episodes are already on iplayer. It's based on a real murder case but very sensitively done.

Have watched the whole thing - didn't plan to but watched the first two and decided to binge it in one night. It is very good, it is very sensitive about the victims, very strong on loneliness amongst single older people, and a fascinating portrayal of a very evil person. |

I've watched the first episode and it's excellent.
Really surprised that it has had hardly any advertising and I could have easily missed it.

True - I was aware of it because I follow the screenwriter Sarah Phelps on Twitter, but other than that I haven't noticed much in the way of publicity, though I've seen trailers for other BBC shows multiple times. |

Bit dusty in the basement here .. Tonight there's a novel piece on BB4 at 11.05, hopefully on the iplayer as well. Bertolt Brecht’s Baal, starring one David Bowie (from 1982) - it's only an hour long. There's also a 10-minute piece beforehand with Zoe Wanamaker talking about it. The Telegraph has a piece, probably behind a paywall (I posted a link before about how to circumnavigate). Wonderfully talented in so many respects, though acting wasn't one of them: www.telegraph.co.uk/theatre/what-to-see/david-bowie-bbc-brecht-baal/ |

Looking at the Radio Times, Baal was originally shown at 9.30 on BBC 1 in the early 80s, not tucked away late at night as such films are now. |

Bowie in his pomp then, of course. And presumably on the Colombian marching powder.

Just finished this, it was excellent. Ep1 was a very hard watch as I didn't know the story but caught on pretty quickly to what was going on. What a vile POS! |

Wolf: well, after epi 1 this looks original and completely bonkers - fast-paced and quirky, though in a manageable way so far. Serval stagey people to recognise, inc. Juliet Stephenson, him off Game of Thrones and him also off Game of Thrones: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0frxgnv/wolf |

The trailer for episode 2 at the end was even madder. Saying that I'm enjoying it. |

Minack (?) theatre garden on gardener's world right now A beautiful garden and a unique setting for a theatre. I wanted the gardeners world piece to focus a little more on their aeonium collection. But i guess that is just tailoring the piece for me really. |

I've got one leggy aeonium and a herd of agaves so it was wonderful to see so many flourishing - I'm in the rainy North West not frost-free Cornwall so have to lug them all in the house in the winter, which is getting difficult now they're big! |

Yep mine have to come inside in the winter. Only one agave and a miniature one at that. Quite a few succulent varieties but aeonium and echevaria are my favourite. Started my collection last year and I am getting on for fifty plants now. Currently sat in the garden waiting for the postman to bring the latest selections. Which are coming from surreal succulents just around the corner from the Minack |

I'm ok with cacti - I've had one, an Easter cactus, since my childhood & that has survived a lot (including the cat using the then tiny pot as a litter tray on a narrow window ledge!) but manage to kill most of the succulents I get within a year. |

Looks to be a bunch of Shakespeare over the next few weeks on BBC Four, starting tonight with Tennant’s Hamlet and then the first part of The Wars of the Roses (and it looks like the full series is on iPlayer.)

Big Brother reboot has given us some interesting characters. Will give it another look tonight. Nice to hear the iconic music and narration if nothing else.

With Jimmy Saville on the BBC and The Yorkshire Ripper on ITV, they're really stretching 70s nostalgia to the limits this evening!

We've just started watching Shogun on Disney and it's very good so far - recommended, especially if you enjoyed Game of Thrones. It's also, with its 17thc Japan setting, a lot better looking than House of the Dragon. My only gripe is the subtitles - rather small on our 32" TV.
