I've heard of Peaky Blinders, but I don't actually know anything about the show.

The last two episodes were probably even more pointless, tedious, useless than the first four

'Pretty old', as far as I'm concerned is the period: 1985 - 2000!

I just watched The Changes (BBC 1975 teen drama in 10 parts) on Daily Motion.
It petered out a bit at the end, but I thought it was rather good, if disturbing in places, kids telly.
8/10.

I saw 10 minutes or so of a film made in the late 30s, and it looked pretty damn good, image quality-wise (restored presumably). I then caught 5 minutes or so of One Foot In The Grave on Drama, and it looked like a 360p YouTube video. Not a good look!

I remember watching programmes I'd recorded in VHS long play, and thinking, 'this is perfectly acceptable quality'.

I rewatched the Channel 4 documentary Champions: Battle Of The Bikes - Boardman Vs Obree, at approximately 2.34am in the morn, and rather enjoyed it (once again!).

It also made me horribly nostalgic for 1993/4, and to such an extent that I felt a touch weepy.
