Stuck at home entertainment ideas films,TV,Radio.share recommendations

I thought it might be an idea to gather all the various ways of keeping ourselves entertained with TV,the internet etc.

if it was the 1970s it would have to be a book exchange with neighbors,what with TV having just a few channels,no video and the library closed.


To start I found Sony movies classic last week on freeview no50

yesterday I watched Jack Lemon in The Wackiest Ship in the Army (film)

there was also road to movies with Bob and Bing, I love those reminds me of childhood.

Then I recorded the color of money for today.

Some interesting ideas for keeping amused are being shared here:

I bought an Xbox. Not the best use of time but certainly a distraction in the evening.

If you like listening to the radio, podcasts are great - listen to whenever you want. Search by topic of interest and be amazed at the number of them available.

I can recommend the Small Town Murder and Crime in Sports podcast, also I heard Audible is free at the moment

I'll probably buy red dead 2 for the xbox.

However I spend enough time as it is in front of a screen, so I plan to try and take the time to work on some hobbies like leatherwork or shooting.

I got one free, as a bonus for signing up for BT fibre to premises broadband. It came with Forza Horizon 4. At the current rate of progress I'll have shuffled off this mortal coil before I get anywhere near finishing the blasted game.

It's a long time since we've had a gaming console in the house, but my, this thing is light years ahead of the Playstation we used to have.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm not even 35 and had nightmares trying to figure it out. More complicated than I was expecting. I'm only playing COD on beginner while I figure it out but could be some TZUK multiplayer games at some point hopefully. I've got my headset ready!

There's room for both I'm sure!

ive been watching a mix of new series (hunters) and old favourites ive not watched in a while (dexter ) -ive enough good series to keep me occupied for a fair time , i guess i can always turn to pornhub if i get bored.

VR headset - if you have a decent PC, Oculus Rift S or Valve Index. If not a decent PC, Oculus Quest.

Great for indoor gaming that doubles as exercise!

I've never done any 'binge-watching' in my life and Netflix is -apart from Better Call Saul- terra incognita for me! So, I started this self-lockdown with the first two episodes of The Crown on Netflix. I don't know how you Brits see this, but it has me on the edge of my seat. Wonderful! Two episodes in, and 28 to go.

I think Disney+ is on offer until tonight.

Civilization VI on iPad or pc is good time burner

Hunt showdown for PS4 is amazing

COD warzone is free to download and plunder is fun

I think Tidal has an offer on also

For those interested Moto GP “Stay at Home” free documentaries available on the Moto GP app or here https://www.motogp.com/

The countdown

You can download loads of Audiobooks for free and listen to them whilst doing more productive activities.

Podcasts is a great idea as above if you want to pass the time and get really into something! Some Ive been listening to recently:

Serial
Off menu
Saw bones

Also Ive gotten back into reading a little bit, just read "Ready Player One" and if you've seen the film, the book is even better! Well worth a read
