This week was all about the election once I could get over the happenings in London. It was a dramatic start to the night as the exit polls suggest we were on course for a hung parliament with the Tories being the largest party.
All the predictions using the exit poll was boring I wanted facts and real results with the first results expected to be safes Labour seats. I was waiting for late results when the predictions and the swing to either party will be more accurate.
In the end, we have a hung parliament with the Tories winning with the most seats and just about able to form a new government with the help the DUP from Northern Ireland. The exit poll was spot on.

Have i watched this film before yes I have and I am going to watch it again because I liked it.
Quintus, sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the earth and destroy their leader Gorlacon. But, when the legion is ambushed on unfamiliar ground, and Virilus taken captive, Quintus faces a desperate struggle to keep his small platoon alive behind enemy lines.
Monday – Syfy Channel – Dark Matters 9pm
The six-person crew of a derelict spaceship awakens from stasis in the farthest reaches of space. Their memories wiped clean, they have no recollection of who they are, or how they got on board after two series we are still finding out about the crew.
I watch a lot of TV, probably a lot more than is healthy, but in all this time, there have only been a handful of shows that I can honestly say, I could not wait to see the next episode, Dark Matter is one of those shows.

Everyone must know by now I am a frustrated gold miner I love these kind of programmes and I follow them all.

Wednesday – W – The Dressing Room 10pm
A new reality six part series exploring life behind the closed doors of amateur teams.
It is not just on the pitch tensions erupt. Here we see the highs and lows behind closed doors at amateur sports teams across the UK get together. First, football club Three Bridges face Ashford in an emotional crunch cup-tie.
A terrific concept for a fixed-rig documentary series, putting cameras in the changing rooms as sports teams from rugby, and basketball. We see them psych each other up for a match, debate how they are doing at half time, and rake over the coals of the game when it is all over.
