It’s time-travelling chalk and cheese for Orange Thursday this week, as first we go on a dangerous mission during World War I in 1917 (2019) before we head off to the 1960s in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019).
The Adventure Game is one of those classics of British TV that virtually everyone of a certain age remembers. As with many shows that virtually everyone of a certain age remembers, the BBC wiped quite a few of the episodes or simply lost them.
A recent DVD release contained all the episodes that were thought to still survive. But lo and behold! Look what happened this very morn! Someone uploaded an entire missing episode to YouTube!
YouTube and the Beeb being what they are, I imagine it’ll disappear quite quickly, so watch it while you can…
It’s “What have you been watching?”, your chance to recommend to fellow TMINE readers anything you’ve been watching this week
Previously on TMINE
It’s been a quietish week for new TV this week. I never did manage to find a way to watch Tribal (Canada: APTN) and I never did find the time to watch Gentefied (Netflix), but I did at least give you the Boxset Tuesday treat of Amazon’s Hunters. Meanwhile, for our weekly look at the silver screen, Orange Thursday previewed Greed (2020) and reviewed Gemini Man (2019).

Next on TMINE
We’re coming up to a busy fortnight for TMINE, as it’s providing paternity cover for someone for the next two weeks. How modern, hey? I’m hoping to still bring you whatever reviews I can fit in, but take the following schedule with a pinch of salt, particularly since some extra work just came in for me today. Sigh.
In movies, tomorrow’s Orange Thursday will be reviewing 1917 (2019) and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019).
I hope to preview the forthcoming War of the Worlds some time in the next couple of days or Monday – probably Monday as it doesn’t start until March 5 on Fox.
Season two of Altered Carbon is available on Netflix from tomorrow, so I’ll definitely be watching as much of that as I can (unless it turns out to be rubbish). Fingers crossed for Boxset Tuesday there.
I Am Not Okay With This (Netflix) came out today, but it’s probably too teen for me, but Sunday’s Dispatches From Elsewhere (US/UK: AMC) might be worth a whirl, even though its an anthology show. And fingers especially crossed for Stateless (Australia: ABC; UK: Netflix), which also starts on Sunday.
The regulars
The list of regulars is expanding again: joining The Outsider,Star Trek: Picard and Stumptown are Locke & Key and For Life, although I haven’t managed to watch last night’s episode. All of those after the jump.
