Bruce Springsteen, Better Call Saul, Shawshank Redemption Redemtion, complaining about other people's driving, Scotland Rugby, Yorkshire Cricket. If you agree with any of them, please say hi.
After spending so many nights in crowds of varying sizes engaging with this friend I've never met, I finished watching this tonight quietly and by myself. It was an emotional watch. I hope you have a similar experience with this and him. As Bruce says, here's to you.

I'm one of those guys who made Silver Age Marvel comics worth a fortune due to their now scarcity. I stumbled across them in a local newsagents and started buying. I put together a collection of FF, DD, X-Men and Spidey. Then we moved house when I was 14 or so and my mother threw them all away.

As the Christmas tv listings are unveiled, time to remind us of that master of disguise and most dastardly screen villain of them all. No one would disagree, surely?

There's not much high class British tv at the moment. However, the second and final season of Wolf Hall has just begun. It is classic BBC period drama turned up to 10. Based on the Booker winning novels and blessed with the pick of British actors, it is essential viewing.

The Old Man took a fearful bashing from @theguardian.com but they were wrong. It's a tense drama for fans of Homeland, blessed with the best tv double act this year in Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow, who are brilliant together.

Billions is another that is a slight cheat as it's recently finished. It probably lasted a couple of seasons too long, but at its peak was top-class tv. Chuck Rhodes and Bobby Axlerod, fighters who would stop at, almost, nothing to defeat the other. And never get down to your last $100m

It's hardly original to name Yellowstone as great TV, but being unoriginal is my middle name (?) Kevin Costner has made an awful decision regarding the final half series, but that won't spoil the memory of a great show that has also pointed me to modern Country music, which I now live.

Next up for the current golden age tv shows. I always loved Carl Hiassan, and this is the best screen adaptation I've seen. I don't love Vince Vaughn usually, but he is brilliant in this. Smart, funny, and colourful. The show, not necessarily Vince.

Right this moment, we are in yet another golden age of tv. I'm going to post my current favourites. Hopefully, someone is going to agree, disagree, add their own. Slightly cheating to start, as The Penguin has just finished. So not a superhero/ supervillain show. 2 of performances of the year.
