What TV show did you last watch?

BBC 100 Women: In Conversation - Sharon Stone
Chi Chi Izundu went to Italy to talk to the actress turned painter and activist, about her book, her brush with death, sexism in the movie industry and everywhere, and so on.

23/40 Polly Pincott talked on Tricks to Finding Likeness, and picked a tricky photo to work with and from.
24/40 Tom Croft talked on Self Portraiture, using a low angle shot of his own face.

25/40 Lorna May Wadsworth returns to discuss use of Pastel On Stencil Paper, and gets a live model in a feathery hat, much use of peach & lilac.
26/40 Stuart Jarvis talks on Perspective In Urban Landscape, using a b&w photo of some underground tunnel, much talk on convergence and the vanishing point.

Influential w/Katty Kay - Sir Derek Jacobi
He's 87, has had to give up stage acting, but otherwise seems pretty sprightly. He valued his lucky break, and talked of some of his roles and people he's known and worked with.

Invincible Ep 7 "What Have I Done?" Season 3

Behind The Scenes: Detective Conan
Aoyama Gosho is a manga artist who's been working on his own series for decades, and turned 60 whilst making this. He seemed affable enough, and his journeys of research were more fun than his creative process. He seemed to have the right degree of self esteem for his success.

Arena: From Roger Moore With Love
Like the Christopher Lee doc a few months back, here Steve Coogan imitated Rog to narrate his story, based on letters and writings of his. Also with home movies that Rog filmed himself, many co-stars and children talking fondly generally, and not omitting his UNICEF work in later years. A charming account of a generally charming man.

Reacher Ep 2 "Truckin'” Season 3

Al Pacino - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Colin Paterson got trusted with a big name pushing his memoir, and Al seemed amused with some of the questions.

Last Week Tonight w/John Oliver
A long piece on sports betting, in connection with "March madness". So many ways to lose money, so few to win.

27/40 One of the worst winners, Curtis Holder, is brought on to talk on Connecting With Your Sitter, a pretty thin premise I'd have thought. As Curtis' style was pretty much unique (and crap), it seems odd to suppose viewers could learn how to copy it.
28/40 My other worst winner, Brogan Bertie, gets to talk on Composing From Life, almost as thin a premise as the previous. Those who supposed that the first series covered pretty much every eventuality aren't getting much evidence to the contrary now.
