In the event of anyone not knowing................Grudge is a cat! In the series the cat is a Queen (female cat) but the animal(s) portraying her (there are two different cats) are both Tom Cats. I ask you, how many male actors could realistically portray themselves as female, so that unless told, the viewer could not tell that they were not female? Yes, the odd one or two probably could.........but not many...........both "Grudges" come over as a perfectly believable female. Lol Reply #681. Jan 22 21, 5:34 AM |

"Nashville" is one of those I "keep meaning" to watch. Glad to hear it's a good one. Reply #683. Jan 22 21, 12:39 PM |

How about LEGACIES? Just started it. Sort of "Supernatural"-"Charmed" combo? Lots of great lines, fab monsters, so far nothing too gory but good emphasis on strong characters and mysteries. Supernatural fans, did you see "Walker"? Reply #684. Jan 24 21, 10:35 PM |

I thought you might like to see a very up to date walk through some of the main tourist parts of London - must have been filmed last Saturday when it started to snow. So this is London with only a handful of people - locked down because of the virus and coloured with a cold wintry day; a few tourists, a couple of mad runners, and a man with a camera. Oh and Mr Bean and Paddington Bear - who has snow on his marmalade sandwiches! Sad though it is to see London like this, it does let you see the architecture a bit more than is usually possible and doing it this way you even stay dry!  https://youtu.be/k9--WktN1TQReply #685.

One day the buildings, the next day the trees: St James's Park in the snow: https://youtu.be/i5q_rt5_LqYReply #686. Jan 26 21, 5:29 PM |

Thanks so much! I walked the snowy buildings video and enjoyed it very much. How grand and beautiful the city looks, empty of traffic. Though strange, with the ads still playing and everything empty. I am curious how they got the camera down the stairs so smoothly. I sent the link to a couple in the UK who are bored and miserable. I think it will cheer them up. Reply #687. Jan 27 21, 1:34 AM |

One of the things I enjoy about these videos is that they remind me what a great and beautiful city London is. Everyone admires Paris partly because it didn't get bombed in WWII and so its grand architecture is largely untouched but a lot of London was turned into rubble during the Blitz - about 25% of London buildings were destroyed. But I think the rebuilding that was necessary and has gone on since then has been an advantage in some ways - there are still long stretches of great old buildings but in other places there's also a complete hotch-potch of new buildings mixed in with the old. And for me, that's what makes a city breathe and come alive - it grows, changes, and gets new features all the time. Several of the walking vloggers were out and about at the weekend - after I looked at those several more links came up in my YouTube feed so you may get them too. As for a steady camera I imagine he uses a "GoPro", most likely on a head mount - they tend to have "anti-shake" options. Reply #688. Jan 27 21, 9:44 AM |

Nice to see the St James's Park walk, Flopsy. I often used to walk through there on my lunch hour before I retired. Reply #689. Jan 27 21, 3:42 PM |

I used to go there quite often when I had to go to meetings in Whitehall/Admiralty Arch - a quick stroll round the corner and there's all this green space. And squirrels that feed out of your hand. Magic. :) A Londoner friend of mine was so used to feeding the squirrels in St James's that when she went to Central Park in New York for the first time she stuck her hand out to a squirrel and it bit her. She had to have a rabies shot! Reply #690. Jan 27 21, 4:20 PM |

Hey, that squirrel in NYC had a reputation to uphold! ;) Reply #691. Jan 27 21, 7:23 PM |

Down to my last two episodes of "House of Cards". Although the last season has been a disappointment (to me), I'll be sorry to have seen the last of this excellent series. Reply #692. Jan 27 21, 10:41 PM |

paul mallon. You could always try the original 'British House of Cards'. I wonder if they changed the plot much. I've not seen the US version. Reply #693. Jan 28 21, 4:33 AM |

Flopsy, I used to enjoy seeing the pelicans in St James's Park. They were real characters. One or two of them would let people pet them. I have a photo somewhere of a guy sitting on a bench reading a newspaper with a pelican next to him on the bench. I was told, a few years later, that one had died. I didn't see any on the 'snow video'. I wonder what happens to them in the Winter. Reply #694. Jan 28 21, 4:37 AM |

Donno if you mean these gorgeous residents. If so they've been moved inside, says linked article. Back in Louisiana I did bird "count" and the awesome white pelicans were one of my joys. https://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/st-jamess-park/things-to-see-and-do/wildlife/pelicans Reply #695.

Thanks Godwit. It's good to know they are being cared for. The one in the image on the right is pink. I do remember some pink ones there. Reply #696. Jan 28 21, 12:38 PM |

Pink pelicans? That's a new one for me. Gotta check that out. Still watching "Legacies". A teenager informed us today that it's related to Vampire Diaries, not as I said, Supernatural, or Charmed, which are "old". Ahem. Reply #697. Jan 29 21, 1:20 AM |

Just about to watch the new Netflix offering "The Dig"......it is about the discovery of Anglo-Saxon treasure at Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge, Suffolk in 1939. This has a personal significance....................my mother visited the site whilst the dig was in progress in 1939.........the people her and my father worked for were either related to, or friends of, the site owners. The second significance, that as a kid in 1946, I lived just a few miles from the site, at Felixstowe Ferry on mouth of River Deben. Reply #698. Jan 29 21, 5:49 AM |
