It was good trip down memory lane, I grew up to/with their music

4 - Isle of Harris
Wet weather and big eagles; also Edwyn Collins and his other half. Poor bloke's right-hand is useless so has to draw left-handed. Jim did an obligatory "rip it up" joke.

PB w/J&NM
5 - East Yorkshire
Gannets, and Jim's mum. And Jim paints Scarborough. With a small brush.

Last King of the Cross.

An Australian show based of the life and autobiography of John Ibrahim a nightclub owner, and his experiences in Sydney's Kings Cross.
It has Underbelly vibes, which isn't a bad thing and has lots of familiar faces if you watch Australian shows/movies. Worth a look, it's on Sky Max.

Pushed as the "start of a new series" (when it's been monthly as long as I've known, albeit possibly not lately), and seemingly presented in more of a magazine format, it seems some new initiative called Juice has plans for not just Mars, but Jupiter too.

TSaN - Will an Asteroid Destroy Earth?
Maggie and Chris gamely ask such inane questions as did alien matter influence human creation, and can our DART program really help us cope with NEOs (Near-Earth Objects) since it shows we're suckers for acronyms?

A "30 years" tribute that may have been from last year as they said the first one was NYD 1990. Some nice clips and the main players all contributed. I kept wondering what Eric Sykes thought.

The Story of Bean
A 1997 profile, presumably to help push the 1st film (which I gave up watching). Richard Curtis and Howard Goodall, the other erstwhile 2 Musketeers, happily backed up Rowan Atkinson's recollections. Some of the Making Of clips included were at least interesting.

HARDtalk: Sir Isaac Julien
Zeinab Badawi got to put the questions, some of which were inane, to the prominent black artist who's a big star in the States and not here, about such questions as why he accepted a gong, given the whole "British Empire" tag to it.

Arguably channel 5's greatest fidget returns with yet another series of this show. In keeping with the channel's stated commitment to make less shows about Yorkshire, this first edition sees her in the "Yorkshire valleys", supposedly checking out minor places she might have missed in several previous visits. As such, she went to Newby Hall (where John Sergeant and friends went earlier in the week), then York (!) and two trips to Harrogate (!)

SC's GDO
Devon and the South Coast, or basically Devon and Dorset. Lyme Regis, Torquay and Dartmouth among others, and tributes to Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle too.

Alice Walker - Beauty in Truth
Needed a couple of goes to get through this rather tiresome story of an American writer who rose to fame from humble origins. It says a lot that her 10th book, The Color Purple, came as a surprise to me but did at least give the documentary a lift.
