Started watching new series of Hunted on Channel 4 - where people go on the run and have to avoid capture by hunters. In recent years people taking part are trying to be too clever e.g. setting traps for hunters. Still fun to watch!

Also going to watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on ITV tomorrow.

Why do we say "slept like a baby"? Babies wake up every 2 hours crying. I want to sleep like a cat, 14 hours, no responsibility and zero regrets.

Happy Caturday.

Sleepy asked me to let everyone on BlueSky know that ITV are showing the first two episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds tomorrow night.

Whether you haven't watched yet because you don't use Paramount+, or just like that it's on TV. 🖖

I enjoyed these new Star Trek films! Into Darkness is great, a remake of the Wrath of Kahn, while still being a unique film.

Also enjoy the newer Star Trek shows from recent years, especially Strange New Worlds. 😊

I don't think I'd be able to go on the run either! Although if I did, I'd probably call upon everyone from #1pmChat and put together a Cookie Monster disguise to help me! 😂

I think basically they can't leave the country, and may be rules about asking family/friends for help. Some powers of state are apperently replicated, e.g. number plate recognition - idea being its same ideas/resources the police have.

It is - I think in recent years the fugitives have tried to be too clever, e.g. trying to set traps for the hunters, etc. - which leads to them getting captured!

Absolutely agree! Scrap them, or bring their expenses in line with the benefits system. I.e. housing expenses are the same as the housing benefit limits, or get allocated housing to the same standard as council housing.

Started watching the new series of Hunted - a channel 4 show where people go on the run, and have to try and avoid capture by hunters (who are ex police officers, etc.).

I'd forgotten about this issue, but remember it now! Beast is a great character (as others have commented, especially in the Avengers) so great to see him appear in this!

I remember this being advertised at the time. But my local comic shop didn't stock any of the Strange Tales line (my sister who isn't into Marvel stuff was interested in these at time).

I remember it was initially going to be non-Comic Code approved, before Marvel changed their minds!
