Well TV is picking up and “The Walking Dead” is back after a break but can it survive without Rick is the big question. Last week “Das Boot” turned out to be a gem as I was entertained which is all I ask from a TV show. I love an award show and the Bafta (film), John Torode, and Gregg Wallace are back on our screens with the return of “MasterChef”. I can’t figure out why I like cooking shows being a fussy eater.
