David McK (3557 KP) rated Sharpe's Eagle (1993) in Movies
Jul 31, 2021 (Updated Jul 31, 2021)
The second of the early-to-mid 90s TV adaptations of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series, based on the first published of those novels and starring Sean Bean in the title role.
And, already, the restrictions of a TV budget are beginning to show somewhat: The Battle of Talavera, for instance (which occurs at the end of both the novel and this made-for-TV movie) is a decidedly small-scale affair, for instance!
Still, for all that, this is still an enjoyable enough adaptation of the source material.

Dark and meaninful
Possibly the hardest tv show I've watched the meaning and darkness of this show means watching more than one episode will at a time will leave you emotionalit drained. That being said it is something more people should watch it shows how easy the world can be corrupt if we don't speak up and stand up for our values and beliefs.

Kate (355 KP) rated BBC iPlayer in Apps
Jan 23, 2019
Great for catching up on things you have missed on the BBC even if if has just finished on the TV, it appears in iplayer really quickly. Have mainly used it for programmes I have missed but occasionally have listened to odd radio show I have missed. Yes you do know have to register with an account but it is still not tied in with your TV licence.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2340 KP) rated Third Time's a Crime (A Love Or Money Mystery #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Georgia Thornton is back for a third round on a reality TV show – this time working with her boyfriend Scott to solve a cold case. The castle where this show is set is super spooky, but things get very scary when Georgia finds a dead body in the empty swimming pool. Even weirder, the victim drowned. What’s going on?
Between the reality TV show and the case, there is always something happening, although I did feel the other happenings overwhelmed the main mystery a bit at times. Still, the mystery builds to a logical conclusion. The author does a great job of helping us keep all the characters straight while growing Georgia, Scott, and some of the other series regulars. And the reality TV setting is just lots of fun.
NOTE: I received a copy of this book.
