What TV show did you last watch?

Alan Bennett at 80: Bennett meets Hytner
A one-on-one studio interview from 2014, presumably repeated to save doing something new for his being 90. Amusingly, despite using many clips from dramas, this was made whilst the film of The Lady In The Van was on the drawing board.

Star Trek Discovery Ep 8 "Labyrinths" Season 5 Final Season.

2.2 From Southampton, over to and around the Isle of Wight, with all three leads taking turns to drive the various vehicles, without too many mishaps for once.

TBSA
2.3 Still in the South, they truk around Dorset, have plans changed by Storm Babet, and check out an old school sweetshop.

Mark Lawson talks to... Kazuo Ishiguro
Nagasaki-born novelist whose works I also haven't read (though I have seen the film of The Remains of the Day).

The Media Show
Katie Razzall interviews Pamela Abdy, now CEO at Warner Bros and trying to build on the success of Barbie to improve the company's fortunes after some bad times.

Inside Museums: Orientalism
Alastair Sooke goes to the Pera Museum in Istanbul to consider possible cultural appropriation of European artists (though some Turkish ones joined in later, so maybe that's meant to be alright then). The trend for pictures of harems added a certain intrigue to the discussion.

Say Abracadabra
A short look at the Magic Circle from the mid-1950s, with various tricks which maybe don't look too convincing in grainy b&w.

The Bottom Line
Steve Clemons gets Stephanie Kirchgaessner and Stephen Rickard into the studio together to consider the Leahy Laws, then talks to Daniel Levy over Zoom to see whether Biden has any idea what the prospects for Gaza are.

How to Build a Cathedral
Jon Cannon takes an hour to run through the hey day of the first half of the previous millennium, improvements in arches, and other building improvements.

2.2 Derbyshire - Dipper
Though Jim gets to paint with actor Nitin Ganatra, he takes Nancy to Chatsworth House, where they make a clay model of a dipper. They also look at ring ouzels at Standage Edge, since they're of a similar feather to the dipper.

PB w/J&NM
2.3 Norn Iron - Puffin
Jim and Nancy head to Co. Antrim, so they do, where they meet Stephen Mangan on the beach where Jim plays tutor for once. The puffins are on Rathlin Island, with many, many other birds. Mangan supposedly once won a film competition on Screen Test, but never got to go on telly for the prize.
