They have finally started reshowing Our Friends In The North.
1-3 on iPlayer now, then on bbc4 every wed for the next few weeks. Hadn't seen since it was on the first time but I remember it being superb
I watched one of the new (always excellent) Storyvilles.
Try Harder - documentary about a group of students studying to try and get into prestigious US universities.
Nicely done, funny, unsettling and inspiring.
Storyville had a new 8 part documentary series Philly DA. A documentary about a defined lawyer and civil rights activist who becomes District Attorney. First rostered was excellent
All the Storyville are excellent but I finally watched When We Were Kings last night. Missed it at the cinema (in 1996/7) brilliant doc on Ali and Rumble in the Jungle.
Very old now and the first two episodes have gone but I've really enjoyed Yes Minister. Never seen it before, always assumed it was one of those old, perfectly nice but dated comedies but I think it still works brilliantly and is very funny. Had to buy the box set as they stopped showing them...
I've watched and enjoyed all the recent Adam Curtis stuff but gave up on this after 20 mins. Could be starting 6/7 episodes seems a lot or just not a great time to watch that sort of thing but seemed very slow, and a bit like he was making it by numbers.
