'Miriam Margolyes: Australia Unmasked' is a very rewarding three-parter

Laura Kuenssberg: State of Chaos is a fascinating watch. S1E1 recalls those innocent pre-Covid days when all we had to worry about was Parliament trying - and succeeding - at every turn to thwart enacting the results of the 2016 Brexit referendum despite the best efforts of Theresa May, her...

Not gratuitously gory, and doesn't salaciously linger on violent scenes, as many depictions before it have done. Has its moments tho

8-parter Colosseum is very impressive and very watchable

Gotta love Cunk On Earth mocumentary series for cringe and sniggers. Sample snippet, said in thick Northern stylee: 'Jesus was born Jewish, but soon converted to carpentry' :lolol:

Inside Our Autistic Minds, presented by Chris Packham. Touches on a few recent threads on here. Beautifully, sensitively done. Intensely moving

Not seen a thing at all about it on here, and scarcely anything anywhere else either, but 'The Lovebox In Your Living Room', the Harry Enfield / Paul Whitehouse telling of the evolution of the BBC over the past century is as surreal as it is masterfully funny! More than a few sly home truths...

That much-touted naff Aussie series earlier in the year, or maybe tail end of last year, about the guy that lost his memory gave Aussie drama a bit of a bad name IMHO. 'The Newsreader', currently playing, redresses much of the balance. It's a seriously decent six-parter set in 1980's Melbourne...

(assuming it will be available on iPlayer) Just watching part 1 of 4 of Commando: Britain's Ocean Warriors. Utmost respect to those guys :bowdown:

'When Nirvana Came to Britain' These are a good documentary, released in September 2021 to celebrate 30 years since release of 'Nevermind' album. Deals mainly with the period 1989-92 which saw the band explode into global grungy prominence, and sadly, fleetingly, the aftermath of the 1994 death...

I thoroughly recommend nobody tries to watch The Tourist sll the way through. Life will ALWAYS be too short. Dreary and wooden drama-by-numbers :yawn:

Highly watchable 5-parter telling the story of Michaella McCollum, one half of the 'Peru Two' who tried to smuggle £1.5m of cocaine through Lima airport https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p09m6ldn/high-confessions-of-an-ibiza-drug-mule

'Universe' is very watchable. Coxy at his most mystic, juxtaposed with a galaxy of down-to-earth rocket scientists. Maybe best watched late at night with a big bag of crisps :smokin:
