3.7 The semi-final takes place at some lavender fields in Kent. Perhaps to steer the overall result, there's a majority of amateurs, which continues with the choice of the final 3.

LAotY 2017
3.8 The final takes place at Winkworth Arboretum in Surrey. The finalists get an extra half-hour to sort their composition, but only 2 of them take it up. The two blokes are amateurs, and the lady is a professional. They were all really good, but even with the commissions I leaned towards 2 being better than the other. Sure enough, the other one was the winner.

Late Night w/Seth Meyers
Joel McHale and Ali Larter were post-election guests, and Jim Parsons and Wendy McLendon-Covey were both funnier and positiver.

8.1 Ain't no stoppin' her now, she's on the move to the South Downs. She goes to Hundred Acre Wood (or Ashdown Forest), Battle abbey (to talk 1066), and somewhere called Hassocks (where there's a gardening museum).

SC's GDO
8.2 Billed as "Cheshire and surrounds" that means Manchester and N Wales. To whit, the Llangollen canal and the Pointcysyttle aqueduct, and later Jodrell Bank, the walls of Chester, the salt works of Northwich, and even Stoke on Trent. Some of which places I have been to too.

3.9 Oddly though viewers were told from the start what the commission would be, the winner wasn't told until the end of the previous show. Quite how the runners-up felt about this is not recorded.
The winning amateur, who turned out to be a school art teacher, like in S1, visited Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, and then got to spend a few days in Jamaica, visiting Noel Coward's old gaff, to paint the view there. The unveiling went OK though.

Glad there's another break before the next repeated series.

I've just been binged watched the first, five episodes of The Day of the Jackal.

It's fast and furious, it's production is simular to that of a James Bond film.

But it's worth watching just to see the beautiful Spanish actress Úrsula Corberó

Lioness S1 Ep 1 - 4....so far

I'm totally bemused how this series went under the radar for me . I was recommended it by a family member and after reading a little about it, I can say it didn't seem that appealing. How much was I wrong!....I've only watched 4 episodes so far and this is pretty gripping stuff. It's basically a special forces unit lead by Zoe Saldana and boy what a performance she puts in.

The action and tension is great, it's also got some other notable actors and actresses in this but it's been thoroughly enjoyable so far and has kept me hooked throughout .

Homeground: Dead Man Talking - The Secret Notebook of Thomas Hardy
From 2003, how his jealous widow tried to burn all his notebooks but somehow missed one which helped scholars understand the thinking behind some of his works.

Our Lives: Secrets of the Lost Mines
2 blokes in mid-Wales with a YT channel discuss how they got together, and make a final visit to what they dub the "Museum Mine".

Star Trek: Lower Decks Ep 4 “A Farewell to Farms” Season 5 Final Season.

The Footage Detectives
Noel and Mike finally leave the studio, to drop in on Pete Murray, to celebrate him turning 99.

7.7 To Thornwood Springs in Essex to try for rudd. Paul manages a trout, they try sleeping in a church, get frustrated by geese, but do eventually catch a decent rudd at the 11th hour.

M&W: GF
7.8 Down to the river Frome in a quest for grayling, as their surprisingly longest series draws to a close. Bob caught a trout, and Paul had already caught a cold. Bob also caught a gurnard, and they were able to check out Chesil Beach. Bob even demonstrated his amazing apple-splitting routine.

Again, another warm and welcome series. Unlike the last one, which felt like they wanted to stop, this felt like they were happy to keep going as long as possible.
