For those who can recall the start of this auspicious forum, you may remember one of the original Mods was Lawrence. I'm happy to say the poor chap became a grandfather yesterday to a grandson, Alexander.
I say 'poor chap' because it won't be too long before the babysitting becomes a reality ;D

Oh, good. Thanks for that - but I'll still wait until the PVR's got the lot..

QuoteI do find so much TV is full of mumbling, however, and put this down to a lack of decent sound engineers or poor diction by actors/actresses (yes, I refuse to call them the same)

Have you checked your hearing aid batteries?

Same here, except in my case it'll be when the PVR's recorded all episodes.

I hope it's better than the second series which, IMO, wasn't as good as the first.

@Tank

Thanks for your reply.

The reason for my post was because I have been using the same process for searching the Forum for years (and I do a lot of searches) and have never had this problem before.

However, I tried your solution and it worked.  It is actually a couple of key strokes less and so is more efficient.  It did take me a couple of minutes to figure out how to open the separate window so I have added step 3 in the process below to clarify the Search process for other users.

1. Insert keyword(s) into the Search box. 

2. Click on "Search." 

3. Place cursor on "Search Results" near the top left of the page. 

4. Right click on link and a new window will open with search results. 

5. One can then click on a search result and then go back to the list using the back arrow without losing the search results 

Thanks again.

Ian

Quote from: Newportnobby on September 03, 2026, 06:04:28 PMHaving waited some time for the new series of BBCs 'Vigil' and ITVs 'Trigger Point ' I have not been disappointed,  despite the two going head to head on Sunday nights.
I binge watched the ITV (6 episodes) but BBC iPlayer only put one extra episode out so that means a week wait for the next one. Both are edge of the seat stuff and I commend them to the house :)
Needless to say the above is just my opinion
We're going to watch Vigil once it's all on the iPlayer. We've been watching The Rapture, which is quite good. Not sure about Trigger Point, although the first series was excellent, the second just didn't quite do it for us.
