What TV are you watching?

Although it's not quite as good as Astrid, the new York-based English adaptation - Patience - was very enjoyable.(we've only watched the opening 2-parter)

It's been getting amazingly bad reviews but, what the heck, I'm enjoying it too.

Caught up yesterday with the Royal Institution Christmas lectures on the Beeb. Been watching these most years for 50 years I guess. Obviously much of the content is somewhat above my IQ grade but I like the demonstrations. This year they were delivered by Chris van Tulleken on the subject of food, the third one in particular gave much to be alarmed about. Henceforth I will be looking at processed food ingredients with some interest.

I thought these were well above average in terms of quality and entertainment. They had a goat and a snake to demonstrate various weird sh... stuff, amongst loads of madness!

I'd recommend Doc Tulleken's other programmes (some are on the radio) to anyone interested in what they shove in their gob. The recent ones have been very sobering (the one about chickens is horrific :-( )

I take reviews with a pinch of salt these days. I quite often find I really enjoy things the reviewers don’t rate.

I’m reading his book at the moment. So will watch the lectures too.
It’s almost impossible to avoid UPF in western society unless you are prepared to cook everything from scratch.
