The Three Penny Opera, 1931, sung in German. Striking how wooden the acting was, even the famous Lotte Lenya! |
The 2020 Great British Baking Show, new episode each Friday, pretty much like all the rest. |
Endeavor: still more cases of Inspector Morse. We have been watching the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Very entertaining! |
And reading...
Arkady Renko the Moscow detective must be in his seventies by now but Martin Cruz Smith keeps him going. A disappointing sequel. |

I like the Great British Baking Show. Paul Hollywood's eyes are so blue! Happy T Day.
I enjoyed Inspector Morse too...esp. the young one.
I am a Great British Baking Show fan also!
Three Penny Opera is one of my all time favorites. The stiff acting is, I think, a stylistic choice rather than a flaw. Or an artifcact of the way it was filmed and the use of stage actors.
Do you read books to the end if you are not enjoying them?
Threepenny has never been a favorite of mine. I know it's a classic and I try to like it but it just doesn't grab me. I'm looking forward to PBS's recorded live on video theatre festival in November. It's always a favorite!
We've been watching the baking show too. I am really not at all fond of "Matt," the comedian. But then, my favorites were Mel and Sue anyway. Love that show! (And Endeavour.)
I like all 3 of the Morse-related series and was happy with how they handled Endeavor.
