Rick Stein's India. Packed with priceless cooking tips and recipes, this really is a treasure trove for Indian food lovers.

My feelings exactly.

You won't be disappointed, Bev.

Happy Valley BBC 1 - 6 Superb, one of the best British crime thrillers I've ever seen. I think I've seen every major BBC and ITV cop thriller going back to Cracker, Morse and beyond, but I can't think of another that bowled me over so completely as Happy Valley.

It hit 35/95 yesterday and will probably reach 33/91.4 or so today. It's unusually hot but hopefully it should drop back to 27/80.6 or so in a couple of days. We're still a few weeks away from the onset of jungle heat and humidity. It's interesting how many posts use Fahrenheit.

Hot. 33 yesterday, 30 this morning.

Person Of Interest season finale. Great conclusion. POI has really grown into a formidable programme. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Rosemary's Baby remake episode 1 Why bother, is the question that first comes to mind. I almost felt sorry for the miscast Zoe Saldana. Mia Farrow was perfect as Rosemary, exuding a sense of impending dread even in the early parts of the film. Had a couple of obligatory gory scenes to appeal to 21st century sensibilities, and was quite watchable but it's an exercise in futility, some films must not, under any circumstances, be remade!

I'm sorry to hear that. He was a master with an incomparable sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BR_6GIWGzw

Same here. I remember a next-door neighbour's house lit by gas and our own had just been converted to that new fangled electric light. 1960s ... but still ! Our street was lit by gas lights in the early and mid fifties, the bloke came round with a long pole morning and night. OMG I sound like the Monty Python Yorkshiremen sketch.

It is most interesting. The fact that it's quite recent technology makes it even more striking. I wondered how they would have reacted to gas lights,coal delivered by horse and cart and pneumatic tubes in shops, all of which I can remember.
