I had to look that up.  We really like David Mitchell.
We are slowly working our way through "Would I lie to you" (readily available via youtube in the States) and despite its formulaic structure, I'm constantly surprised by his intelligence and that of Lee Mack.  Comedians seem to be the most intelligent people on the planet.

I just finished watching the first 2 seasons of Star Trek Discovery, and they really were "TV WTF"! There are so many inconsistencies and nauseating lovey dovey moments, that I almost bailed. I then ragged it off to my son but still started season 3.

However, so far season 3 is pretty good so I'm reserving judgement for a moment.

Most of the Star Trek spinoffs have soon jumped the shark, at least for me.  I watched TNG for a while, but it got old after a while.  That, and the propensity to get creative with modeling clay applied to people's faces and ears in an effort to come up with vaguely humanoid extraterrestial characters, just kind of put me off.  Of course, TNG was Emmy level material compared to the dreadful train wreck of Earth: Final Conflict, another Gene Roddenberry brain child (produced posthumously by his widow).

I tried to watch STD, or their preferred nomenclature, DIS.

Not enough whiskey, deep hurting. Purple klingons with dual penises.

Seriously, they gave the klingons double dicks.

I'm glad mom only saw the first episode.

Out of curiosity, I checked to see what animals on Earth had these kinds of genitals and it turns out  that snakes and lizards do have them, hemipenes.  Who knew?  And there are other animals, like echidnas, that are even stranger, but that's enough for one day.

I've heard that's good so that's another series, along with Slow Horses, on our watch list.  I really liked The Americans, a series that also included Keri Russell in a main role.

I'm watching Arctic Circle.  Slow Finnish series about weird murders of prostitutes who have some kind of evil virus attached to a herpes strain in their blood.  Is it the work of a mad scientist?  A Russian experimental bio weapon?  It's plodding along.  I kind of feel like watching it on 1.5 speed.  I get lots of these kinds of series via our public library streaming service.  Some of them are better than others.  This is not bad, it's just not really good.  So I don't think it really belongs in WTF, but since good stuff is being posted here, I figured, why not?

Turns out one of the labourers on my site is a bloody actor. He's starred in quite a few things including Foundation on Apple TV.

Who knew!?

Harrison Ford was a carpenter. Is your labourer's name Harrison?

Close. It's Buddy.

Not a carpenter.

Unlike you, not a carpenter.

Nice lad though. He went for a script reading on Friday for something that looks quite interesting. Either side of that day he was just shovelling sand. Shows he understands that money is money and not to be sneezed at.

Not a carpenter.

Just "a poor mountaineer a shootin' at some food..."

And Harrison was an aspiring actor who became a carpenter to insure a steadier income stream, so it's not like Jed Clampett, a regular guy minding his own business, who got catapulted into sudden riches.

One final thing.  What's with the surname first name?  Isn't Harrison (son of Harris) a surname?  And I don't know what to think about Ford as a surname, given how the author, Ford Maddox Ford, has a name that just messes with the whole system.  That makes me want to sit somewhere quiet and puzzle English names.  I do know other people who are named Harrison.  At least they aren't called Harrison Harrison.  I did have a great uncle named William Williams.  He was Irish.  In addition to the regular exercise he gave his elbows at the local pub, he once painted the Golden Gate bridge.
