Shes now stuck in torpedo tube, water flooding. Masterful writing to fix that.

Mrs Notty couldn't watch that bit as she is claustrophobic !! great drama - how come we pay license fee to the BBC to watch in the UK and you can see it same day in Oz?

Just one of those things I guess. We don't have licence fee here 

Mind you its not on FTA here it's on Binge which is a subscription thing like netflix etc

I watched Manhunt last night,2nd episode tonight, based on a true story stars martin clunes who I've liked since men behaving badly which also starred Neil Morrisey.

[Batkwaka]

Like others I don't watch much commercial television as the ads just go on and on. I gave up Foxtel because whilst they had far less ads, I am not paying money to watch their ads.
I now use a couple of streaming services and change them depending on what is on offer.

Vigil finishes next week - only 6 eps total :(

Keep going back to Justified every now and again, guess I just like to see idiots treated as idiots and arseholes getting shot. Must say something about me I suppose, bloody good show though

@MarkN Justified ?

Don't you get Justified in the upside down world Vlad? Timothy Oliphant - who my wife thinks is gorgeous - plays a US marshall and shoots lots of people. Clips all over you tube, it's very good.

Not sure why Mrs N thinks he's good looking as I'm nothing like him? Will have to query that

[grog]

Batty, i totally understand your thoughts, i know i can get streaming for free. My logic paying Foxtel is easy, it works for my $80 per month. Wife can work it fine. If i played around streaming, my Wife had problems, never hear end of it. Happy Wife, Happy Life

I gave my TV away in 1997, I can't remember what I watched on it. But it was boring, that's why I got rid.

Hooli - maybe it was "Teletubbies" that tipped you over the edge. Well worth dumping your TV for

Last episode Vigil tomorrow night. Best tv for a long time.

Big articles in papers on how the series was filmed.Internal shots of sub all made from timber.The police detective was lowered into a car park by helicopter which they superimposed it onto the sub. Amazing.

Yep great series.

It is amazing what they can do - convincingly - with CGI these days.

I know a fella from my motovlogging forum who used to serve on a Brit nuke sub.

I was hoping for a TV vs Reality take from him, but he also has no TV as he refuses to pay for a TV licence so hasn't seen it yet.

As well as Vigil there is a weekly documentary about life on HMS Trenchant, a hunter killer it's obvious from watching both that a real sub is a little more compact.

And it's not all chasing Russkis in secret. If they run out of nukes just use the nuclear waste from sailors who haven't been able to use the heads coz the pipes have been blocked up.

  A blocked shitter on a sub is not the best way to run a navy 

[VladTepes]

there is a weekly documentary about life on HMS Trenchant

I just googled - it's called Submarine: Life Under the Waves

Filmed on Trenchant on her last voyage prior to decommissioning I believe.
I bet heaps of stuff breaks / is broken.

For the first time British cameras have been given access on board a hunter-killer submarine on live operations. Submarine: Life Under the Waves goes on board HMS Trenchant, a nuclear submarine, on its four month tour of duty to the mid-Atlantic to uncover the reality of life at sea. Living in extremely close quarters the crew are tasked with helping guard the UK's Trident missiles and keeping British waters safe.
