i might try the handmaids tale. does anyone recommend it?

SAS Rogue Heroes is worth a watch, episode two was last night on BBC One, so it's on catch up if you haven't watched it yet.
Based on the formation of the SAS, it's a historical drama from Steven Knight (Peaky Fookin' Blinders), based on the book by Ben Macintyre...true stories, mad true stories. The guys the show is about are badass and a little unhinged as you'd expect, worth reading their wiki's because wow.

Watched the whole lot Friday / Saturday (it's on iplayer for those that can)... Brilliant series, very highly recommended.

I've read books about Stirling and Paddy back then, the series could be described as tamer than real life

Anyone who recalls a BBC2 series called "World's Most Dangerous Roads" from around a decade ago (repeated a lot on Dave since then) may wish to know a new series starts on Dave tomorrow night at 8pm.

Starting this Sunday on BBC2 at 8pm, is a two part series called "Paul Whitehouse: Our Troubled Rivers"

Best drama of this genre that I've watched for some time, that good that I did the whole series over 2 days.

^ Good to hear, such a great show. They were all great, but Jack O’Connell was excellent in the first season.

I was expecting a decent show and it was so much more.
Really well written. Great acting.
