What TV show did you last watch?

Great Railway Journeys
Danny Glover travels from St Louis to Dogon Country, which is to say from Senegal to Mali, taking the Bamako Express, but also a boat ride and more. Danny took his wife and an interpreter or two, and seemed to find it a rewarding and enriching experience.

Paul Whitehouse: Sketch Show Years
1 - 1970s
Clipshow format which did at least bother with some early stuff as well as more familiar clips.

Star Wars: The Acolyte Ep 6 “The Parent Trap” Season 1

Talking Pictures: Gregory Peck
Mostly culled chats from 2 progs, one a single profile and the other an 80s chat to the ol' Wogan.

BBC - 2011

Janina "Morticia" Ramirez is the presenter of this documentary about the East Window of York Minster during its ten year restoration which was completed in 2018.

At 78 feet high it is the largest stained glass window in Britain and was made in 1403-1408 which is described as the golden age of stained glass in England. The contract for the window still exists and shows that the artist was one John Thornton who was paid the princely sum of £50 for the job.

A large part of the window is the series of 81 panels illustrating the Book of Revelation, the apocalyptic narrative which is the last book of the Bible. In an era when most people were illiterate and Netflix still to achieve world domination, this would have been one way for the people to engage with bible stories - a sort of vitreous graphic novel.

The restoration team are shown in action and much of their work is correcting faults introduced in previous restorations. They are shown repainting, gluing broken pieces together, replacing missing panes and setting it all in a new lead framework which is less obtrusive than the one used in the last restoration in the 1940s.

Caught this myself now. I agree with my right honourable friend above

Young Justice: Invasion Ep 18 “Intervention” Season 2

The Satanic Verses: 30 Years On
Mobeen Azhar tries (in 2019) to understand the furore about what sounds like a pretty lousy book, and is somehow surprised that some people are still cross about it.

Mark Lawson talks to Alan Bennett
Made for the playwright's 75th birthday, repeated to mark his 90th. Wistful about past projects and colleagues.

Painted City
Mairi Rodgers checks out the Nuart festival at Aberdeen, and even gets a go at it herself.

6.6 West Lothian; a fair bit on the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, and again end of series padding reshowing bits from earlier shows.

Despite my pessimism at the end of the previous series, I wouldn't be surprised if she's back for Series 7 in 2024.

SC's GDO
7.1 - Channel Islands
Well, another stunning real-life prediction there. She dug up spuds, fired a cannon, visited a small church and beat some copper.
