What TV show did you last watch?

The Footage Detectives
A Goon Show special, of sorts, as some bloke from the Goon Show Preservation Society shills for new members, and shows three rare reels, largely of Harry Secombe with Michael Bentine.

10.1 A very hot day at Hampton Court, looking more at the gardens than the building, and some nice choices on the shortlist, where the bloke gets the nod over two chicks, though he does at least have a style, albeit not one I could believe will get the big win.

LAotY 2025
10.2 Llyn Padarn Lake at Llanberis, but with a view of Yr Wyddfa, fka Mt Snowdon. I recall the mountain being a commission choice years back, but I doubt they're short of ideas. At least the winner does a fine rendering of said mountain.

The American Vice President
PBS America cut to the chase, boiling almost 250 years into the fun from 1963 and 1974. Worth it to see quite how timely and rapid was the meteoric rise of Gerald Ford.

Fragments of Paradise
Lengthy profile of Lithuanian emigre and alternative film-maker Jonas Mekas, with tributes from other film-makers like Peter Bogdanovich and John Waters, as well as his family. Amusingly, he left his homeland with his brother Adolfas, whose story is not wrapped up (dead? unwilling to appear?).

10.3 To Clifton Suspension Bridge, where the judges end up "surprised" that almost everyone just concentrates on one end, rather than the whole span, much like the last time they did a bridge in a heat. The trad bloke beats the rad ladies in the shortlist round.

Thundercats Ep 1 “Exodus” & Ep 2 “The Unholy Alliance” Season 1

The Listening Post
Neyar Mortazavi offers a fresher perspective on Israel's attacks on Iran.

Real Time w/Bill Maher
Senator John Fetterman offers Bill an echo chamber, whilst Rutger Bregman and Ian Bremmer discuss whether AI stands for Apocalypse Imminent.

She drives him to a gig in Kendal, managing to fit a boat ride in the Lake District, and some kind of hill walk, into the journey, which I suspect begs questions about scheduling, but let's not be churlish.

AH's BW - Sir Lenny Henry
Some fun in London, but mainly larks around Dudley. She too a Brummie.

Thundercats Ep 3 “Berbils” Ep 4 “The Slaves of Castle Plun-Darr” Season 1

10.4 Rather than revisiting Hampton Court, they went on to St Pancras Basin, for a busy canal side scene, with the wildcards lumbered with Gasometer Alley (sic). The palette knife artist surprisingly wins.
