Well the tease was one thing, now we have the full details of the new Lego Friends set, The Apartments.
Today, the LEGO Group announces the new LEGO F.R.I.E.N.D.S Apartments Set – which allows fans of the iconic Warner Bros. TV series the chance to recreate their favourite scenes. The 2,048-piece set, features both Monica and Rachel’s, and Chandler and Joey’s New York apartments, plus the adjoining hallway.
Following the hugely popular LEGO Ideas Central Perk set, which was released in 2019, the LEGO Friends Apartments set is complete with iconic features and props, such as the classic moment when Monica put the Thanksgiving turkey on her head, the one where Joey and Chandler only had a canoe as furniture and when Phoebe’s dollhouse went up in flames.
So it will be £134.99 when it is released later this month.
If you are watching The Trial of Christine Keeler you may recognise some scenes which were shot on Broad Street in Bristol. This is a screen grab of tonight’s broadcast.
BBC’s The Trial of Christine Keeler
You can see three old cars and this is the view down towards the Church of St John the Baptist on Christmas Street.
Here is another screen grab of Broad Street at night.
BBC’s The Trial of Christine Keeler
As it happens back in January 2019 I was walking around the area on my lunch break so I took a few photographs of the filming.

I was impressed with the number of 1960s cars they had used to dress the street.
They were filming on Corn Street in Bristol today. No idea what they were filming.Update: They are filming a new HBO series called Industry, which is a new American drama series which follows the lives of young bankers and traders trying to make their way in the world in the aftermath of the 2008 collapse.
There were some powerful lights shining into The Jetty.
I quite enjoyed Star Trek: The Next Generation: so I am quite looking forward to the new Star Trek series Picard.
It is released on Amazon Prime on the 23rd January 2020.
There is a trailer out which has some old friends in and certainly looks like an exciting series
Quite impressed with the special effects, will be interesting to see how they “improve” the technology and effects from when they filmed The Next Generation
The BBC have released a trailer for their “proper” version of The War of the Worlds.
This is the original alien invasion story. Staring Eleanor Tomlinson, Rafe Spall and Robert Caryle, this tense and thrilling drama follows a young couple’s race for survival against escalating terror of an alien enemy beyond their comprehension.
After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. “The Mandalorian” is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
I do quite like the look of this series, then again I enjoyed Rogue One.
The question I have is, how can I watch this in the UK? I know it will be on Disney+ streaming service in the US, will it be the same for the UK?
