The Man in the High Castle[^]
Just started to watch this. Beautifully made; the attention to detail is excellent. Quite though-provoking. Can't wait to see the whole series.

I read it many years ago and recall not being that impressed with it though the basic premise was intriguing. However, the program is very good: highly recommend.

I'm pretty sure you would be able to download it from somewhere. No idea how you do that but I have heard whispers that it can be done.

A better WWII alternate book was Robert Harris Fatherland (cold war with the US), also Harry Turtledove did a version that ends up with the German Army V the SS if I remember correctly...can't think of the name.

Read the first, will look for the second - a prolific author. Quite partial to alternate history fiction.

I read the book (and a lot of other Philip K Dick books) many years ago, so I had high hopes for it. Then I showed Herself the trailer and she refused to watch the series "because it has Nazis in".
If the series follows the book (rather better than "Blade Runner" followed "Do android dream of electric sheep?") then I'll work on her, like I had to with "Breaking Bad" - "He's a drug dealer! he sells death! I'm not watching that!" - which she enjoys provided I don't watch it after 9pm as it gets her too wound up to sleep if I do...

That is so funny: had to do the same thing. Eventually persuaded her to watch the first episode and, although it really bothered her, she wants to watch the rest.
BTW, also discovered doctor foster. Seems pretty good.

All the better for you I say.

I've been told that cigarette lighters in vehicles were discontinued because nobody uses them anymore...
...so why do vehicles still have turn-signals?

I'm pretty sure BMW's don't, I've never seen one in action on one of those anyway.

I did a few weeks ago.
Admittedly it was flashing for ages and didn't turn that we at all, but it proves they work.
Bloke probably took it to a garage to complain about an irritating ticking noise whilst he was driving along.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
