The Distant Barking of Dogs.

Ten-year-old Oleg lives with his grandma in eastern Ukraine, close to the front line of the war between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian government forces. His village, Hnutove, is just a mile from the war zone. Whilst friends and family have been able to flee, Oleg has no other place to go.

This Storyville documentary follows him over the course of a year, from 2016 to 2017, examining what it is like to grow up in the midst of armed conflict.

Amazing piece of work, all the more poignant.

Legends of Welsh Sport - Norton's Coin.


If horse racings not your thing, please don't be put off.

As with all good sports documentaries it's not about the event, there's so much more.


Deffo worth 30 minutes of your time.

Inspired in part by real events and set in the Nottinghamshire mining village where Graham grew up, at the heart of Sherwood lie two shocking and unexpected killings that shatter an already fractured community and spark a massive manhunt.

Alongside David Morrissey is a stellar ensemble that comprises Joanne Froggatt, Robert Glenister, Alun Armstrong, Lesley Manville, Adeel Akhtar, Claire Rushbrook, Kevin Doyle, Lorraine Ashbourne, Phillip Jackson, Perry Fitzpatrick, Adam Hugill and Stephen Tompkinson.

Done the first two episodes, if possible, it's improved on the first series. Christopher Walken excellent again .

Don’t watch a lot of TV series but really enjoyed this so far. Reminds me of a less grim Red Riding. Still quite grim mind.
