May remember the Shoreham air show crash

Sure do, travelled past the scene to visit my =aged mum in Brighton once a week before and after.............

[jiminstitches]

@Giles Yeah it was very sad, I was on my way from Brighton to Worthing when it happened. I remember cycling past a month later and the crater from the impact was 20 foot deep!

Anyone out there,like me,who subscribed to Peacock for a month,in order to watch the football game…We started watching Poker Face and are enjoying it. Might as well get your money’s worth. Don’t forget to cancel.

Was that over on the football thread?

[Matt]

Yeah. It’s a solid show. I also like being able to watch all the Sunday night games. I don’t have cable.

Who’s gonna be watching Masters of the Air premiere this weekend?! I can’t wait!

[deanclean]

@jiminstitches ill definitely give it a go. I enjoyed the other two series they did. Masters of the Air doesn’t look as good to me for some reason. Not sure what it is but the trailers haven’t really done it for me. I’ll definitely still check it out. Hopefully I’m wrong!

I'd recommend Masters of the Air for the flying jackets alone! Some amazing leather! The first couple of episodes are watch worthy enough to keep me engaged in following the series.

[jiminstitches]

@IH-GARY watched the first 2 and thought it was great! Felt more like band of brothers and not quite as harrowing as the pacific. The in-flight scenes were incredible and yes the leather jackets were great, I have a feeling that knowing the level of detail hanks and Spielberg have they would of done their history on the clothing

[IH-GARY]

@jiminstitches the jackets were supplied by Aero & Eastman, so no surprise on how good they look. I think anyone expecting BOB etc may be a little disappointed. I’m in it for the aviation history, the details in the cockpit scenes are fascinating and the actual aerial bombardments from flak and small aircrafts look terrifying.

@IH-GARY - agreed. Although I have a general good-natured antipathy towards the ‘air component’ (having been in the Army for 20 years), I wanted to dislike this. However, I thought it was really good and the jackets were pretty damn impressive. I will definitely be watching the rest of the series although I fully expect that it will tail off like Band of Brothers and The Pacific did. Here’s hoping that it doesn’t.

pretty good, and Gary Oldman disgusting as well as brilliant

I’ve been watching Blue Eye Samurai per @EdH ’s suggestion and I’m loving it. Thanks Ed!

@Mizmazzle your Floyd post reminded me of this one - at a certain point they discuss making the cover art for that one as well as a bunch of other awesome albums

@GraemeE cool! I’ll check this out!

[Oaktavia]

Has anyone watched Hazbin Hotel on Amazon? Takes place in Hell and has a surprisingly outstanding series of songs...if you're into those things. My wife and I have watched the first season twice already..

[T4920]

@GraemeE this was fantastic, watched it on a flight recently.

Had no idea all these iconic designs came from a single small collective!

The Twins Experiment on Netflix was good. I think it was called You Are What You Eat.

I see they have another cult documentary series so keen to watch that one too.
