The Confessions of Frannie Langton

We are watching "A Spy Among Friends". Very good.

Who is Frannie Langton.

Apple have a freebie offer letting us watch "Slow Horses" with the excellent Gary Oldman.

It's based on a book by Sarah Collins, which won the Costa Book Award a couple of years ago, Boz.
Spy Among Friends is next on my list!
I will have a look at Apple.

Boz There’s lots of good stuff to watch on Apple TV. My favourites include Slow Horses, Ted Lasso, Bad Sisters, See, Severance, Black Bird (has the creepiest character I’ve seen in years and is based on a true story), For All Mankind, Tehran. Some of these are complete, some still have seasons to run.

Great. Thanks. DH bought a new laptop this week and got a 6 month Apple Sub.. I think you can get a month's free trial anywhere. Worth it for Slow Horses.

My brother was an extra on this so I need to watch it to see if I can spot him.

Ooh How exciting!

Thanks for the recommendation Littleannie. I thought I’d give it a watch but have now discovered I can no longer access the ITV hub on our Samsung Tv! Since updating to the ITV x thing older models won’t be able to get it I found out from Google. So annoying.

How very annoying Abitbarmy! Our main TV will get it but our small TV in the bedroom won't. I have a little Chromecast thing given to us by Currys when we bought something, and I found that I can use that to cast ITVX from my tablet to that TV if I want to.
Wouldn't you think they would have thought about older TVs when they were planning this? So unfair.

I'm watching that too and really enjoying it. A very good cast.

Littleannie I can watch it on my iPad luckily but not comfortably with my OH. He has a Samsung tablet so maybe we should look at getting a Chromecast thing, it’ll be cheaper than a new Tv!

They are migrating it or something. Meanwhile, you can watch ITV Hub on a computer or laptop or better still if you have an Amazon Fire Stick which is how I see it.

PS: I bought my Amazon Fire Stick a year ago when it cost £24.99 and now it costs £49.99 so has doubled in price. Horrendous.

Amazon have a Chromecast device for £24.

And Currys have them for £25, if you want advice re compatability before buying.
