I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.

Bit of a strange one here. I was on my Amazon Prime account this week and I noticed there is a channel called "The Great Courses". They used to advertise on podcasts a few years ago, when they wanted you to sign up for about £100 for an online filmed college lecture series. They seem to have lowered their expectations and have put hundreds of them on Prime for £5.49 a month.

Although they were only filmed about 2014, they already look terrible - imagine Open University lectures from the 1970s remade by a Christian TV channel, with a series of middle-aged gargoyle profs in sports jackets and slacks shuffling across a hotel reception to look at either camera in turn. But the content (based on three I have on the go so far) is fantastic. For example, one of the three (the other two are American History from the Civil War to WW1 and Introductory Electronics!) is on Gnosticism, a mystical form of early Christianity. I'd vaguely heard of it, but knew nothing and probably cared less, but I'm riveted by it, including the idea that the Earth was created by an imperfect lesser God called Ialdabaoth. Who knew?

There are hundreds of courses on there. Have a look.


No. I've worked out that the more I learn, the less I seem to know.

Down with that sort of thing.

Just found Once Upon A Time in Iraq on BBC iPlayer.

Excellent 5 part doc worth the time. Bush really f*cked up that place. Those poor people.

The Plot against America is very good indeed.

Agree. Superb piece of television. What a mess.

Hard but essential viewing. Seems as though it was Bush's envoy who really set the dominos of shit tumbling rather than the actual invasion.

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

Just over halfway through I May Destroy You. It's incredible.

Both seasons of Dark Side of the Ring are on All4 - even if you don't know anything about wrestling, they're brilliantly compelling documentaries. The Benoit two parter is essential viewing

'Plot against America' and 'I know this much is true', both really good. Only just caught up with 'white house farm' from earlier in the year, (Jeremy Bamber murders), which was good also.

Thought the last series of 'Westworld' was a load of chickpea laden rough cut shit.

Another plug for the Plot Against America. Philip Roth book adapted by the writers of the Wire.

Plenty of parallels with stuff going on today in the US and around the world.

watched 'Father soldier son' a netflix documentary about an all american soldier with two young sons filmed over 10 years. Best not to give any more away as some surprising things happen to them over time. Very very good.

"Soft white underbelly" interviews on Youtube.

Majority of the interviews are from residents of LA, particularly those from Skid row and gang areas. Some are from further a field including the offspring of inbreeding.

I caught a bit of "The last wave" on BBC4 last night. Very promising, from what I saw.

We're nearly caught up on Ozark (outstanding but the tension really does a number on me, I must admit) and looking ahead for our next show. One of my mates recommended ZeroZeroZero–anyone familiar?

Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who adds a title to the queue and then leaves it sit for months/years? I finally crossed off one such film the other night: Dead Man's Line. Wish I hadn't waited so long. I'm not old enough (nor am I an Indiana native) to be familiar with the story before now.

Resurrecting this thread to give a 'shout out' to the 3rd series of Mortimer and Whitehouse Go Fishing that started last night on BBC 2.

1st episode of this series just as superb as the previous 12 from the first two

Great stuff!

Cobra Kai. Originally on YouTube but now on Netflix.

Follow up to the Karate Kid and actually pretty good. Honestly.

The Mrs and I just binged Season 1 of Cobra Kai and really enjoyed it. Loads of 80s throwbacks and each episode is only 30mins. Very funny and it doesn't take itself to seriously.

All or nothing is good value so far. A couple of funny highlights include Jose telling the sky sports news crowd on to to fk off when they say he is past it and Danny Rose having a full hissy fit then asking Levy if Milan are interested in him - err no Dan. Jose comes off as very likeable

yeah Jose is annoying coming across as alright, only seen the first 4 so far but him telling everyone his dog had died on Christmas eve was equally weird and lovable.

I'll have to see that. DN lived down the road from my grandparents in Cricklewood, we used to walk past his house every week. When the police dug up the garden after his arrest, my Dad got the job of putting the fences back. He said a young couple had bought his old flat there three weeks before his arrest and just finished decorating when the police tore it apart.
