    Lucy Montgomery’s accent is quite possibly the funniest thing ever.

    What exactly was wrong with “on”?

    Thank Christ it’s not just me. Keeping or staying across story can FRO too.

    I’m continuing my Revell 1/32 Typhoon. I have used the Aires addon cockpit.

    It’s a big lump.

    Oh, and the music. The whole series is way more than the sum of its parts. If you haven’t, watch Muke’s link above.

    Just watched the last one again, second time tonight! Toby Jones at the end, his face as he realises. A perfect encapsulation of what that means to Lance, after all those years of ring pulls. Goose bumps and tears both times I’ve watched it.

    Top drawer telly. I hope there’s more.

    Just bloody wonderful. Loved the end. Nothing to add to the comments here. Beautifully written, cast, acted, directed and filmed.

    Too many unanswered questions for there not to be 3rd and 4th series.

    To. Not too. There is no quantity.

    Nope, SaxonRider is correct.

    “in addition; also.
    “is he coming too?”
    synonyms: also, as well, in addition, additionally, into the bargain, besides, furthermore, moreover, yet, on top of that, to boot; More”

    Pre-booked. It’s just booked, FFS.

    Shirley Pre-Booked means it isn’t booked because it is before booking? No?

    “If any of you have pre-booked your activities…”
    “Pre-book your parking and save”

    Etc.

    I too feared it wouldn’t be as good, and it wasn’t quite as good. Given that, I’d happily have watched the next five episodes back to back because when the new characters, situations and story strands get up and running it’s going to be wonderful telly. (I recently watched all of series 1 back to back on a long flight and it was the shortest three hours of the entire journey.)

    I think it’s manoeuvring for a third or fourth series whereas I was expecting a six episode resolution to the Bishop’s Farm story. Which is why I’m not a writer / film maker I guess!

    Pearce Quigley (Russell) is still stealing every scene he’s in, Sheila still as fantastically bonkers, and Varde just as silent. And far and away the best theme tune of any TV series ever. It fits perfectly, and gives me goosebumps.

    Can’t wait for next week.

    Pressed ours on Saturday, with the help of the in-laws.

    40 pints this year.

    Add a little bit of yeast and off they go.

    Our apples make a crisp, clean drink. We’ve never tested the alcohol content, but I reckon it compares with a 6 or 7% ale.

    My wife had one. It was even worse than the hatchback she had (and went back to.) The rear doors give terrible visibility, and there’s very little extra space in the boot.

    The rearward folding door is on the driver’s side, and you still have to get out of the front seat to allow someone to use it. So both driver and passenger have to open doors and step in to traffic. Utterly pointless.

    Nice work everyone. The prop and rigging on the Pfalz are great.

    I know a wolfhound called Dave, seems even more amusing when it’s a giant thing called that. Other’s we meet include a lurcher called Russell (“We call him Russ for short”) whippets Arthur and Gordon and a chihuahua called Zorro.

    I am far more grumpy, disinterested and generally unhappy to be at work yet by Tuesday I am felling fine.

    Just caught up, that was the best of the six episodes. Toby Jones is superb, I echo the comments about the cactus collection speach. Just brilliant in every way, can’t wait for series two.

    Loved the crop markings, and the way the theme tune fitted at the end. “I’m waiting for you…”

    Made from the apples off our one little tree in the back garden, over 9 gallons of Thirsty Lurcher this year. Strong, dry and delicious!

    A Staffy/greyhound isn’t a Lurcher.

    It certainly is.

    Our Ted is a bit niche being a longdog. (Sighthound x sighthound.)

    He’s an idiot, but lovely.

    Pearce Quigley is a scene-tealer for me.

    Ali the Lurcher. There’ll never be another like him.

    Ted the Longdog. Luckily there’ll never be another like him either!

    Have a look around on some plastic model sites (eg, http://www.britmodeller.com) as I know a lot of people strip old kits with various substances such as oven cleaners, Fairy Power Spray, Mr. Muscle, etc. You just coat the parts and leave in a bin bag over night apparently. I think some substances will also remove the chrome though, so worth reading around a little.

    goon, as an ex Fleet Air Arm helicopter mechanic, can i just say that Lynx is incredibly well detailed.

    Cheers wee-al. For some reason I’ve only just seen your comment. Nice to have work validated by someone in the know.

    I use Flory Models sludge washes. It’s like very fine clay in suspension. You let it dry then wipe off with damp kitchen paper, leaving some behind in the recesses. You can do it the way you describe, but I like the Flory stuff as if you don’t like it it will all come off without affecting the paint work.

    oh aye, the camouflage pattern does not extend to the undersurface of a Tornado

    Plenty of Tornadoes wore a wrap around camo of RAF Dark Green and Extra Dark Sea Grey in the GR.1 days. Harry’s is correct. Not quite the right shape any more admittedly, but the paint is right.
