What TV are you watching?

I've been watching Ray Mears Wild Australia, a most interesting series about Australia's wild life, but it ain't long enough, its only 30 minutes an episode, it really could do with 1 hour episodes.

[QUOTE 4261503, member: 9609"]I thought the last 5 minutes spoilt it a bit too, shooting two of the occupants of the speeding range rover dead with one shot fired the length of a residential street.[/QUOTE]
With you there. Wasn't exactly a sniper's rifle either. We were also wondering why the Range Rover kept reappearing, to give her the chance to take a pot-shot. 'Why didn't they just drive, like, away?'

[QUOTE 4261503, member: 9609"]but overall an excellent series[/QUOTE]

With you there too. Good telly. (I speak as one who missed series 1 & 2, but enjoyed #3.)

To fill the hole left by Line of Duty, I've been watching a 20 year old NZ kid's series called Mirror Mirror... after the atrocious theme song, it's a typical kid's adventure which involves time travel (via a mirror), a canister full of deadly toxic 'sludge' and variety of dastardly characters who, for some reason, cannot see a group of children hiding behind a thin wrought iron fence... it's gripping stuff and is nicely filling the gap until Wentworth starts again on Tuesday

Bunkers, Brutalism and Bloodymindedness: Concrete Poetry with Jonathan Meades.

Meades pontificates in front of various mystery concrete buildings throughout Europe, linking Brutalism to Victorian Gothic and Nazi fortifications, bitching about the Georgians and the safe post-Brutalist architecture of modern times and bemoaning the demolition of iconic Brutalist buildings like the Tricorn, pointing out quite reasonably that if you allow buildings to fall into disrepair they become expensive to look after. Quite impenetrable, but mildly interesting - an introduction to Brutalism it is not.

I used to really enjoy the Les Hiddins programmes (aka 'Bush Tucker Man'), & wondered for a long time, if Ray Mears had ever worked with him
Surprisingly that only happened a few years ago

This is it; from 1.17


'The Wet'

Enjoying The Fall on amazon prime at the mo. Not a lot me and the Mrs enjoy together but this seems to work! Liking the different setting and Gillian Anderson has a very good character even if her accent gets questionable!

The Windsors - (just episode 1 so far) entertaining nonsense, surprisingly well written.

Enjoyed watching John Sargent barging down the Lancaster Canal and seeing my local haunts.

Followed it with Scales and West doing west to east in Sweden. The Stockholm and the Stockholm Archipelago are stunning on a fine day in summer. And grim as chuff the 364 other days of the year.

The Hollow Crown. (again)

 

[John the Monkey]

The Musketeers (Netflix)

Catching up on the first season of this enjoyable Saturday teatime nonsense, in no small part because of Murray Gold's rousing main theme. Peter Capaldi's Richelieu is splendid, as are Aramis and Porthos - so far (5 episodes in) D'Artagnan and Athos haven't been all that interesting, but I suppose we're only halfway through at this point.

Did you see him fall down behind the goal?
