Finished season 1 today, It was OK, reasonably entertaining but as Dood says watch the original first it is better.

I watched the first 3 episodes last night. You are right it is not as good as the original. Seems darker than I recall, or is it just a bit more graphic. I think the current pandemic adds something to the believability of it too. You are right about character development, but that is the yanks...

Heam you brought this on yourself with your opening post, own it.

Is it worth watching Dood, I really enjoyed the original?

I told you it's Paul Mariner, he just uses the same plastic surgeon as deller

That's Paul Mariner

I have said this before, some months ago. I wonder if Johnson wanted to be PM to enrich himself by grabbing as much cash as he can for a short period of time, and accepting that he will be forever viewed as the worst prime minister the country has ever seen. The billion or so that he creams off...

I can't be bothered with going into what is wrong with the original post.

Randy, ST exactly what information do you think the app is grabbing, and how do you think it will be used? I fail to see any benefit in anonymized data. The fact that booked tests are not linkable via the app is a limitation on the api provided form the OS development, not the app itself...

The problem is the government have had 6 months to plan for winter and they seem to have done nothing other than increase the availability for testing. We should have had a pandemic plan that managed itself, we should have Proper measures at ports for ingress into the country, temperatures...

I don't disagree that a test regime at 51% accuracy is not much better than a coin toss. The point I am making is it is 1% bertter than a coin toss so has some, albeit tiny, use. The more accurate the better, also true. I would take an issue with requiring an 80%- 90% accuracy for a test regime...

All true Billy, I think my worry is that the government will have a real reluctance to shut down again, I suspect first time around there was a suspicion that a quick sharp shutdown would solve the problem. With no shut down we will probably take a long time to reach the peak but I expect to see...

Moonshot is an unashamed attempt to transfer billions of tax payers money to Johnsons family. I really hope it never happens.

I booked a test yesterday morning. It took about 3-4 hours of trying but got booked in. Had my result this afternoon, negative. The system worked for me, but I appreciate I may well be in the minority, and I live in an area with low infection rates.

Thanks Bear.. .and oh dear, I didn't realize the death numbers were so small before the first lockdown. I would hope the app being released will help reduce numbers of infected that are out and about.
