The Secret Genius of Modern Life is great fun. If you ever wanted to more than is decent about the inner workings of, say, your bank card, your passport or your microwave oven, then this is the show for you. Prof Hannah Fry's slightly bonkers level of enthusiasm is totally infectious

Also seen it and agree it’s pretty decent. Series two is better than series one.

If you enjoyed it look up another Irish crime series called Love/Hate. Quite a few years old now but excellent.

IPlayer has a lot of quality content. I don't bother with Netflix.

It has all the Dr Who on there now.

Both series start very strongly and finish with a silly unlikely whimper of an ending imo

Frank Sinatra at The Royal Festival Hall is excellent

The BBC has acquired the Irish crime drama Kin, an eight-part series that stars like likes of Clare Dunne, Charlie Cox, Aidan Gillen, Ciarán Hinds, Sam Keeley, Emmett J. Scanlan, Maria Doyle Kennedy and newcomer Yasmin Seky.

It tells the story of how when a boy is killed and his family embarks on a gangland war with an international cartel: a war that is impossible to win. The Kinsellas are a local crime family, while the Cunningham cartel is a vast global organisation. It is David and Goliath. Out-numbered, out-financed and out-gunned, the Kinsellas find themselves holed up in their Dublin stronghold while their businesses fail, and family members and associates are picked off. But they have something the cartel does not: the unbreakable bonds of blood and family. They are kin.

I've seen it, very good.

I enjoyed that series. Left open at the end for potentially another series?

Tonight on BBC Four (and then on the iPlayer after that) genuine HD rescans of

19:00 Last of the Summer Wine, "Getting Sam Home"
21:30 One Foot in the Algarve (the greatest sitcom Christmas special of all time)
