Reviews
Andy Watched Mrs. Bradley Mysteries (c. 2000) Diana Rigg. One episode had both Peter Davison and David Tennant. BritBox or Amazon Prime.
Watched more of the Netflix series Historical Roasts: Abraham Lincoln episode was meh. Freddie Mercury was brilliant. Anne Frank was uncomfortably funny. Martin Luther King, Jr. redeemed the series. Cleopatra fails the roast format. Muhammad Ali held to the roast format. Series is 50/50.
Fred Archive.org: Look up Test Pattern. There’s a loop of Japanese TV test patterns.
John Severance by Ming La. About woman surviving (sad) apocalypse as it happens. Did a good job of personalizing the story. Recommends amazon.com/Severance-Ling-Ma-author/dp/1925773272/
pluto.tv is running 24/7 Doctor Who.
Kennita Saw Shaft. Great, sequel to the remake with John Shafts Sr., Jr. & III. Pretty good plot and characterizations. John Shaft III is ok, not as good as Sr. & Jr. May be worth full price, at least matinee.
DaveC Friday night saw Shaft at the Grand Lake. Was the only one there for a 10 p.m. show (a few filtered in as the previews went). Felt like a buddy picture for Sr & Jr. Enjoyable. Matinee.
We had an auction
Meeting adjourned at: 20:42 and the rumor was: BASFA: A noble cause
