What TV show did you last watch?

Wogan - Gene Hackman was there because he was filming Superman IV, Erno Rubik was pushing Rubik Magic (I remember that), and Frankie Howerd had shows to plug.

Spring Awakening - Those You've Known
The story of a benefit show in NY, 15 years after its Broadway success, with original cast including Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff, and co-backer Tom Hulce. It clearly made no impression on me back in the day, but then that's hardly surprising.

25 Years of Bargain Hunt
They did as little as they could to mention David Dickinson, but then they didn't get word from Tim Wonnacott either (he's only 74). Some mention of past experts, and acknowledgement of some who'd died. Izzie Balmer FTW though. You know it, I know it.

Invincible Ep 8 "I Thought You'd Never Shut Up" Season 3 Finale

It’s The Walking Dead Glenn vs Negan pt 2 which creator Robert Kirkman did that purpose.

7.4 Back to the Eden Project, but looking at the gardens rather than the Biomes. This results in some desperately weird attempts to avoid an ordinary painting, including this week's gimmick contestant who rips up old Women's Weeklys (and does make the shortlist, fair play). Rarely have I felt the judges would have been most happy not to have a winner at all.

LAotY 2022
7.5 Compton Verney again, this time centring on the house itself, where judge Kathleen used to work apparently. More weird gimmicks like drawing on brown paper bags (and again shortlisted). The winner is somewhat more serious.

Amusing 2000 profile which played up the hatred from Scottish art critics, and the salacious stuff of his that didn't enliven his recent obituaries. Against this, his fans ranged from Valerie Singleton to Richard O'Brien.

What Do Artists Do All Day? Jack Vettriano
The other repeat to mark his death. This 2013 profile covered more than a day, even with a 5am start, but as it included a model dressing up in 4 outfits for his approval, then going to a photoshoot in some garage with the model, and Jack taking 2 goes at the resulting painting, maybe it doesn't need to be a literal day.

Reacher Ep 4 "Dominique" Season 3

This Cultural Life - Michael Palin
Thought I might have seen this before. He praises Terry Jones, GBH and the travel shows.

LAotY 2022
7.6 For unknown reasons, they didn't have a 2nd heat at Whitstable, so it's Semi-final time at the Forth Bridge. They stuck to picking 1 wild card as well, so it was 6 down to 3, and the 4:2 ratio of women to men was matched with a 2:1 ratio for the finalists.

Daredevil Born Again Ep 6 "Excessive Force" Season 1

The Great Detectives - The Simple Art of Philip Marlowe
Nigel Williams looked into Raymond Chandler's story back in 1999, and brought in Dashiell Hammett too. More writers I've never read (Williams included, I think).
