Yes, I quite liked the cast but thought the tasks were disappointing.

That has Duncan Ferguson's 1st win in  charge at high-flying Argyle written all over it.*

Close! Wednesday instead of Argyle, sadly!

In a shocking turn, I'm really enjoying season 10 after picking it back up.

 

Genuinely surprised.

 

Just noticed that Season 11 doesn't appear to be included with Prime. That's annoying.

Finished season 10 last night. I felt like it ran out of steam a little towards the end.

Edit: Reading back through the thread, it sounds like it might have been partly due to the impact of Covid on filming, which makes sense, although doesn't excuse Carol and the rat. /edit

I think that was partly due to there being so many strands to the story that momentum built only to then drop away as the focus changed in the next episode.

On the plus side, I spotted that season 11 is on Disney+ so I can crack on with this and get it finished off.

Hopefully nothing too serious. Doubt we'll be able to get him back next season.

We're in good form at the moment and Caldwell seems to be getting the most from Jay Stansfield now.

We're all but safe and so I hope we just enjoy the rest of the season and go for it in games.

FGR looked so good for most of last season but tailed off completely towards the end and haven't been able to arrest that slide.

Very strange.

It's doom and gloom on our forums. 

I'd rather have the fixtures we have than away games against the top ten. 

We have Forest Green Rovers next weekend. That's a good fixture to have at home to start a good run. 

I think Wednesday are up now. I can't see them losing half their games.

Series 5 trailer:

 

 

No word on airing date yet.

Desperate to click play, but are there season 4 spoilers in this?

Yes, we picked up on that recently. I hadn't realised that the show paired up some of the teams. It makes sense they'd need to do that but it definitely adds another dimension to the challenge faced by those teams.

Really pleased to hear there's a junior version coming. Our kids will love that.

One sitting if watching alone or multiple sessions if watching with my partner. She tends to manage around an hour before her eyes close and stay closed!

I tend to have one eye on the film and one on her so that I can hit pause as soon as possible, otherwise I'll end up having to rewatch half an hour the next day.

the only issue with no eliminations is the shows are often kind of pointless other than seeing a nice build - they don't tell you at the start if it's elimination or not as know a lot of people will turn off.

I do get that but I think I'm there more to see the builds and the general atmosphere of the show rather than the eliminations.

I was also glad to see them ditch giving people the "week" off when their build won. I always thought it was a shame that we didn't get to see them build without any pressure on.

We're working our way through season 4 and it's as enjoyable viewing as ever.

I prefer this system of not always having eliminations. One criticism of season 3 was

The Triffids' Day.

I have my ticket! Not feeling confident at all but I hope we give it a good go.

Looks like it's a sellout.

Checked last night and it turns out I slogged through more of this than I'd thought. I'm halfway through season 10.

 

Going to try and finish it off.

Blimey. I've watched 3 episodes since this post and they were pretty good!

Back in the game. Let's do this!

The posts in here are making me feel like I need to go back in and finish this off.

I can't remember exactly where I am, possibly season 8. I just keep seeing how many episodes there are and then run away!

I'm quite looking forward to Argyle losing in the play-off final. 😉

No doubt Luigi will be transitioning, there'll be no entry without a covid jab, and Mario Kart will end up like bloody Oxford.

I absolutely love LEGO Masters Australia.

It's pitched at just the right level and I think Hamish and Brickman are excellent.

The US show is also good fun. The judges are weak, though, and it feels very forced and unnatural when they interact with the contestants. Not a patch on Brickman!

Amazing 3-4 away win over Bristol Rovers the other day. Was following online and thought we were done and dusted when our 0-2 lead turned into 3-2 to Rovers with 5mins to go.

Awwwh man, I loved that. I hope we get to spend more time with the DMDC again soon.
