[TV] What's good to watch on BBC iPlayer ?

I re-watched another great Storyville documentary, Jonestown - Terror in the Jungle - I think its been around for a while now. Gripping and disturbing.

That was excellent. Not had a chance to watch this yet but seems similar and supposed to be very good

I think pretty much all Storyville are excellent..particularly The Mole Infiltrating North Korea and also The Two Escobars.

Hmm..just checked and neither are currently available on iplayer!

The BBC has announced it has acquired Romanian spy series Spy/Master.

The six-part series, filmed in Romania and Hungary, spans one perilous week in the life of the fictional character Victor Godeanu (Alec Secăreanu), the right-hand man and most trusted advisor to Romanian President Nicolae Ceaușescu (Claudiu Bleonț). With his government poised to uncover that he’s a secret agent for the Soviets, Godeanu uses a diplomatic trip to Germany as a springboard to defect to the United States. Helped by undercover Stasi agent Ingrid Von Weizendorff (Svenja Jung) and up-and-coming CIA agent Frank Jackson (Parker Sawyers), Godeanu must elude the KGB and his own country’s spooks – all while his wife and daughter face the fallout back home.

The series also stars Aidan McArdle, Ana Ularu, Laurențiu Bănescu, Andreea Vasile, Nico Mirallegro, lulian Postelnicu, and Elvira Deatcu.
