So we finished #WolfHall. Magnificent. Just the best work by everyone involved, and pitched and ended perfectly. There has been some great telly this year, but difficult to think of any better. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Good evening again, been watching telly. #Scrublands on th’Iplayer, it’s very good. Also #Stick, which was good but too short, and “SuchBraveGirls which is brilliant. Can’t decide whether to watch S2 of The Sandman? Art/Artist and all that. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Telly! What you watching? #InsideNo9 is back, and that was a belter. Didn’t see that coming at all. Now on #BabyReindeer. Bloody hell.
Also watching #DeadBoyDetectives which is super fun. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Wednesday so it’s #SlowHorses night! Hurrah! Also enjoying #Ludwig, despite it being totally preposterous. Wonder if there’s a double reference in the name? Sure he likes Beethoven, but the logic table he used in Ep 1 looked remarkably like the ones Wittgenstein developed #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Well that was fun. More please! #Kaos I mean, you had me at “Jeff Goldblum as Zeus”, but everything else was just spot on. What’s next? #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Telly! And Music! Finished watching #BlackDoves and found it delightful; funny, violent, full of on point cameos. Top notch. Certainly more fun than #TheDayOfTheJackal, although I did enjoy that too. What else to watch? #Silo is good too. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Talking of telly, #WolfHall continues to be magnificent. Everything about it, the script, the acting (obvs) the photography, lighting, sets, costumes, the impending sense of loss of control, of guilt and unease and terror in the court of a sickening, ageing maniac. Wonderful. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Watching #TheGold. It’s superb, but why does the guy playing John Palmer keep saying he’s from Solihull but sound likes he’s from Torquay? #RichardWatchesTheTelly. Everyone else is brilliant. He’s brilliant, but he’s not from Solihull.

Watched the opening episode of #AlienEarth and very much enjoyed it. Pleased to see the chap who played Hamlet in the Radiohead Hamlet in it: he was excellent. In both of them. Anyway, good. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Another new neurodiverse detective tonight with #Patience on yer Channel 4. Enjoyed it. She’s no Holly Gibney, but not everyone can be written by Stephen King; it was a bit clunky in places, but loved the representation, liked the storyline and always good to see Laura Fraser #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Watching #PrimeTarget on th’AppleTelly, enjoyable Dan Brown nonsense. Too late for another one so a few tunes before bed. Anna Calvi doing Hunter first up. A superb album and a gap in my vinyl collection. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Delighted to report that Anarchists have popped up in #SASRogueHeroes; we make everything better, don’t we? Now on #SayNothing; every struggle for freedom and justice should also have had more anarchists; hence MCAA (Make Catalonia Anarchist Again) #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Watching the cricket highlights, I do enjoy seeing moments that I have listened to on #TMS during the day. Also, about time Zaltzman is given National Treasure status. Thank you, and carry on. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Rather enjoyed #TWBTLATS, because (a) Tovey playing a blinder and (2) the relentless anti-capitalist, green agenda and iii. knowing who it will annoy. More please! Also, John Wick 3 is on. The fight in the knife and axe museum is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Telly! Enjoyed #OutThere, getting the sense there might be more. Another ep of #Silo, getting really interesting. Now on #CornerGas out of solidarity with Canada and because someone recommended it on here. Sorry, I can’t find who it was, but thank you. Enjoying it. #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Finished watching series 2 of #Silo. It’s excellent but I’m not entirely sure I could give a succinct summary of the plot, if I were asked. Also watched #Virdee, which was super enjoyable, not least because of who it will rile up just for existing. #CornerGas now. Carry on! #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Telly! Sunday night is Wolf Hall night and tonight was exceptional. The political, the personal, the plot, stately until now, suddenly got pace, spinning like a maelstrom until he, Cromwell, is pulled in as well. This is telly of the highest possible quality #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Telly! Not doing all the festive telly, that would be daft, but v happy to see #SASRogueHeroes back on the telly, yer man Jack O’Connell is compelling as one of the most compelling characters in history, Paddy Mayne: not sure it meets historical scrutiny but a cracking yarn #RichardWatchesTheTelly

Telly! New thing with Clunesy being Welsh was promising, then #SASRogueHeroes which was great, can’t wait to hear what James Holland makes of Con O’Neill’s Monty; last night watched s2 ep9 of #MrInbetween which was one of th greatest episodes of telly ever.
