I can forsee the next Broadchurch plot.

I don't know about picking blackberries but the other two rules seem sensible. I think it should be two dogs not four. People around here who have more than two dogs when walking find it hard to control them. Sometime back a woman with three dogs was pulled down onto the road and the dogs ran off.

Of course some seagulls don't need criminal accomplices in their lives of crime

I bloody love seagulls. :D

I don't, they taste too fishy.

Seagulls appear to be getting more vicious these days, and have been known to attack people in order to steal their food if they are eating outdoors at the seaside.

that's it for the Broadchurch plot then, death by seagull as part of a protection racket.

But I still don't know what is meant by Broadchurch Plot, not a term I have heard before.

I thought the last series was meant to be the last series.

That's fine as long as you understand that they are ,more than any other bird, the embodiment of the spirit of the velociraptor. I've watched seagulls versus pigeons and it is not for the squeamish.
-
That's what was said but people are clamouring for another series. In a way it's a good idea to end a series when it's at the top, which is what the producers did. I thought it was an excellent series. Can't believe you didn't see it floo! Nothing 'lowbrow' about it. Set in Dorset.
Rhiannon I like seagulls too they seem intelligent and full of character but they can be vicious. I learned that many years ago whilst eating on the beach!.
Velociraptors aye? So they will be able to undo picnic baskets.

Thanks, it isn't one I have heard of.

Not just pigeons

It doesn't matter how much you clamour, if the production team is not up for it, it won't happen.
-

You've never heard of Broadchurch?
I watch almost no TV at all and I've heard of it. Wow!
-

I'm not clamouring & get why they don't want to do another series. Only so much can happen in one smallish place & it's not a soap where murders are commonplace. Very good though, had me on the edge of my seat 'til the end.

Tell that to the poor residents of Midsomer!

Very true (not one I've watched but know about it), and Oxford is certainly somewhere to avoid if you want to live!

My husband and I only watch certain programmes, mostly BBC, we have no interest in the rest.

How do you know you have no interest in the rest? I mean if you haven't seen them or heard about them how can you even make a judgment?

The royal "we" floo?

We know what we like, mostly the news and documentaries. We watch very little TV, having better things to do with our time.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh, what are you on about?

Story of my life.
-

Oh. The most compelling argument I've ever heard. Said nobody ever.
-
Why are people so concerned about what my husband and I like to watch on TV, why should anyone else care? I have absolutely no interest in the viewing habits of other posters.
-
Just banter floo,no harm meant.
I have mick taken out of me & so does husband about different things.
-
Having been on this forum a lot longer than you, I suspect that the comments about TV viewing directed at me weren't banter, but no matter, it is like water off a duck's back by now! ;D

You are right it wasn't banter - just puzzlement at how you can say you have no interest in something if you don't know anything about it. I can understand that you might say I'm not watching a detective series because I don't like detective shows. (That will mean you miss out on some of the best acting and writing on UK TV at the moment, but based on your prejudice against them I can see that - I do the same with anything with David Jason in) - but the blanket 'I know what I like' just sounds like an unwillingness to explore other options in life. This attitude doesn't only apply to TV for some people. It applies to food, travel, music, etc.
It's an attitude I don't understand as it seems to me that it is the product of a mind that is closed to new experiences a risk averse mentality if you like.

Maybe floo, Trenvoyage agrees with you & has given a good explanation in above post .i definitely was joking when I said 'Is that the Royal We?'. It's up to you what you choose to watch or not but there's a wealth of good drama on TV with some splendid acting.

Look so what I see a lot of things differently to you and others, it isn't a problem for me. I dislike music, I never have liked it, people can't understand that either, including my husband, but it doesn't worry me in the slightest. I have always been different to many others, and it suits me to be so. No doubt that is why I hooked up with my husband because he was different to other boys, probably as I have said before because we now think he has Asperger's syndrome. Oh and before you ask, I did the test for the condition myself, but apparently I definitely haven't got it. As I mentioned before, my mother was always asking where she went wrong with me, as I didn't comply with her expectations, like wanting to dress in the pretty clothes she insisted on me wearing as a child, YUCK!!!! I didn't bother to attend the old bat's funeral, she would have probably sat up in her coffin and demanded to know why I was wearing trousers in church, a criminal offence in her eyes! ;D ;D ;D OK so I am weird, but I wouldn't be me if I was any other way.

You don't seem weird, we're all different.
There's a programme (on TV ;D) tonight in which a man talks about his 11 year old son who is interested in washing machines. The boy must find it mesmerising to see things going round and round accompanied by gentle rhythmic sound.
Jeremy Corbyn likes manhole covers.
Takes all sorts.

I like wind turbines.
-
Me too they're beautiful.
-
Me too. I see them when I'm driving across France. I think they look rather majestic.
-
The do & they look as though they are sentinels, guarding us. Almost like people only with superpowers.
-
I like wind turbines.
You would really like a documentary about them then! :D

Except for a few scenes set in Clevedon cemetery next to the crematorium. Mostly involving the vicar.

Grantchester is all set to rival Oxford in the crime stakes. I thought it was all "is there honey still for tea" until Jeffrey Archer took up residence there. Maybe the fiction-writers thought they'd like to fill in a bit of dodgy background.
