Another week of FRAUD SQUAD. This has been a great series that the tone changes every episode which keeps these episodes very interesting. Tonight, I will be watching "The Biggest Borrower of All" and features Paul Eddington.  #FraudSquad #ATV ITV

It's Friday but I don't think I need to ask what everyone is watching this weekend. I am sure MOST of you have watched the returned episodes of "The Daleks' Masterplan" Ep 1 & 3. Please share how you watched them (meaning with ep.2, with friends etc) and what did you think?

I thought it got better as it went on yet never great. Pretty much Mr. Humphries just not written as well. Certainly some stand out pieces.

Tonight I watch the existing episodes to THE GEORGIAN HOUSE starring Spencer Banks of TIMESLIP fame. Only episodes 1, 3, 7 and exist and even episode 3, "Treachery", is of a lower quality recording. I start THE FRAUD SQUAD on Monday. #GeorgianHouse #HTV #SpencerBanks #ITV #TVTimes

I continue this week watching ODD MAN OUT. Tonight I watch "Sink Or Swim" and "Shall We Dance?". From the two episodes I've seen so far, it's basically trying to write John Inman as Mr. Humprhies but doesn't quite work. TV Times listings below. #ThamesTelevision #ITV #OddManOut #JohnInman #TVTimes

What are we watching this weekend? I am hoping to have a special episode of my web series "Doctor Who on BBC Video" posted sometime this weekend looking at the 3 existing DMP episodes before these last two were found. I think of this video as keeping the excitement going until next weekened.

It's Friday! We made it to the end of the week! What are you watching this weekend? I am watching the movie version of PORRIDGE.  Sadly, my source is just a 4:3 SD DVD. I don't know of anything better for quality. #Porridge #Fletcher #RonnieBarker #RichardBeckinsale #WitzEnd

Would any of you would be interested in a video taking the posts people are showing examples of bad ai upscales on the S21 boxset and comparing against the DVD and showing it in real time to see for ourselves?  Would you like to see that?
