Charmed - on 4Music. They'd stretched the picture to make it fit widescreen, it was like watching it through a wideangle lense.

Been trying to get into that Marvel's In-humans, but, to be honest, it isn't grabbing my attention

Great cause but Boy George is murdering one of my favourite ever tracks; Purple Rain. Sacrilege.

Went round a friends to binge on ST2 - The new characters, including Samwise Gamgee, were disappointing but the original cast from ST1 and especially 011 remained as good as ever.
The storyline wasn't quite as thrilling but still better than most other stuff around ATM.

My DVD player does the auto-stretch thing. Fortunately most of my watching is done on my computer, where I have total control of the aspect ratio.

Started watching Stranger Things 2 last night... much like the first series, it's bingeable viewing... four-and-half episodes in one sitting. I wish my 1984 was as exciting as theirs.

Lexx, a fairly low budget, odd and grotesque Canadian Sci fi series. Completely bizarre, and whilst lacks the laughs of Red Dwarf shares the latter's bonkers plots and lack of any worry on plausibility or consistency. Despite none of the characters being particulalry likeable (a resurrected-dead assasin, a loony robot head and a sex starved loser - both obsessed with a sultry "love slave" who only fancies the unatainable assasin) I find it rather compelling but it won't be for everyone.

It's a bit more complicated than that...

He's a scion of total privilege (Dragon/Eton/Balliol) and a Tory MP and therefore is beyond redemption, but actually this was very good and nuanced. Rory Stewart on "Border Country" - looking at the middle-land of the British Isles, which he defines as the upland area between the lowlands of Southern England and the mountains of the Highlands. Very interesting on the impact on the natives of the Romans building a bloody great wall on the natives, with parallels in (and implicit strong criticism of) Western policy in Afghanistan and Iraq. Even more interesting when the Romans left and he was rhapsodising around Cuthbert and Bede.
I'm not sure about shots of Rory Stewart storming Hadrian's Wall, in an apparent attempt to demonstrate that trade through the wall wasn't possible - all you'd have done would have been to walk up to one of the bloody big gates with your goods and flogged them.

Thanks for pointing this show out to me... Episode one was good, but episode two, Cat Food was excellent.
