What you're watching/listening to/playing during lockdown

Quarantined, locked down, or simply avoiding social contact. No football on the telly. What do you do to while away the hours and fend off the ennui? Movies, music, games, post them all here.

Tonight I felt like an episode of Blake's 7, and what better than season 2, episode 7, "Killer" - where an entire planet contracts a virus and is isolated after all its inhabitants die.

Now that is a blast from the past.

Might cheer myself up with a bit of Minder.

13 disk set of Hawthorn Premierships to watch from 1961 to 2015...... planning on spacing them out 1 or 2 per week until the footy comes back.

May even treat it like a GF day, beers BBQ etc....

Got to make your own entertainment for a while I reckon...

Keen to track down some DVDs of ‘The Professionals’ and ‘The Streets of San Francisco’ - classic old school cop show action, each with a fantastic 70s wah-wah guitar theme tune.

The Professionals was a cracker of a show, used to love watching that as a young bloke. Used to get up sparrow fart on Saturdays and watch Bonanza as well.

Thought this was the perfect time to download Disney Plus for free to 7 days to binge The Mandolorian, anything else worth watching on it?

Absolute ripper of a movie - not sure if it trumps the original in my book, but its just as strong.

I think I also saw that SBS was streaming ‘Chinatown’, another dead-set classic.

Unfortunately Part 3's a bit of a dud, not a patch on the first two.

Have worked through :

Led Zeppelin albums from I, II, III, IV, Houses of the Holy and have been through Physical Graffiti twice. Only Presence and In through the out door to go.

Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol. 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

I'm planning on listening to all the music that formed my musical taste from the start to the end of their discography in chronological order.
