What TV show did you last watch?

Bookmarks: AS Byatt - A Curious Mind
Nice repeat from 1996. She seemed crashingly boring, and I've not read any of her work. However, she liked snooker, so she can't be all bad.

(05-10-2021 20:35 )Doddle Wrote:  River Walks: The Deben
Blimey, the 9th one. Miranda Krestovnikoff takes an 8 mile plod through Suffolk, starting at the Sutton Hoo burial mound, and talking mussels, mink, curlews and sharks along the way, before reaching Ramsholt. I was surprised Deben was pronounced like Steven rather than Seven.

River Walks: The Exe Factor
Inevitably, perhaps, Yesterday finally shows this series, and I get to catch the 10th (and last?) one, which features wife-beater Stanley Johnson and his dipshit journo daughter Rachel as they trek 12 miles, passing their family home and plugging their wondrous bloody family (including that brother Boris was born in the same village as Ernest Bevin).

Magnum P.I. (Reboot) Ep 18 “Extracurricular Activities” Season 5 Final Season

Playground Serenade
A piece about Blackpool from 1960, which managed to include the elephants from Blackpool Tower Circus, and a beauty contest too.

Stargate SG1: Series 7 Episode 7 "Enemy Mine"

20 Days in Mariupol. The early days of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine told by a reporter trapped in the city when it was attacked.

I honestly can't find the right words for a review, it's extremely distressing in parts.

^^ Anyone who doesn't cry watching that is heartless.

New on Netfix is Banditos. Set in Mexico, dubbed into English.
But it does have the very watchable (change watch to f...) Ester Expósito.

The Bottom Line
Steve Clemons talks for former Sanders aide Matt Duss, then to senator Chris van Hollen, about why the US seems so powerless and/or unwilling to fix Gaza.

HARDtalk: Ciaran Hinds
Stephen Sackur tries, largely without success, to get the 70-odd year old actor to be negative about growing up in Belfast, or being an actor, or much of anything. But the wily actor is too genial to fall for such misery.
