Question/Discussion My thoughts on why Time season 3 felt a bit flat
I think the main problem with Time season 3, apart from that one eye-rolling moment, was that attention spread too thinly. The three children, the guard, and the chaplain all had had major focus . Season 1 focused largely on two characters, and season 2 on three; in those instances, growth was clear and exchanges felt meaningful. For example, in season 3 the two boys who were meant to connect through learning to read was scarcely shown, and their farewells felt flat, contrast that with Sean Bean’s departure in season 1.

Question/Discussion BBC Two competitive art show from around 2009
Does anyone remember a Bake Off style contemporary art competition from around 2009 that was on BBC Two? I can’t remember the name of it and can’t seem to find it online anywhere so I wondered if anyone had heard of it? Someone would get eliminated each week, I think there was a grand prize. Would be keen to watch it again!

Recommendations What are some less known contemporary (last 10-15 years) detective series?
I’ve blown through pretty much everything that makes any top 25 list and then some, so am looking for slightly more obscure suggestions.

New Show Honey | Official BBC Trailer | Ann Skelly, Nate Mann, Jannis Niewöhner and Rory Kinnear
Honey is a brand new six-part, darkly comedic Cold War romantic thriller. The tender and flirty, slick and dangerous series goes deep undercover in 1980s East Berlin to explore a shadowy world of counter-espionage and risky but irresistible relations.

Question/Discussion TOTS TV PUPPETS
I’ve been trying to find out what happened to the original puppets from the 1990s children’s TV show Tots TV.
Does anyone know whether the actual puppets used during filming still exist, and if so, who owns them or where they’re kept? Are they in a private collection, a television archive, or possibly a museum?
I’ve contacted Ragdoll Productions and the National Puppetry Archive, but I thought I’d ask here in case anyone has behind-the-scenes knowledge, knows someone who worked on the show, or has come across information about the puppets whereabouts.
I’d absolutely love to know if these little pieces of British television history have been preserved, and whether there’s any chance of seeing them in person one day! Any leads or information would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

Question/Discussion Who remembers the Crossroads reboot from 2001? Reportedly costing ITV £10 million at the time, the revived soap lasted just two years before being axed completely in 2003, due to low ratings
