Might wait for all 6 episodes to drop then get a month Netflix trial.

Beware the trial, we did that and now pretty much only watch terrestrial on demand (iplayer, 4OD etc) or Netflix

That's their cunning plan (mwah hah hah etc) Currently trialing Amazon Prime for a month, will see how Netflix compares.

Really enjoyed episode 2, I can't believe how far they've come in terms of technology and skills when compared to the first series Snow Leopard section, all very impressive.

I know it's close to home but the Golden Eagles were stunning to look at, bloody crows!

Really quite enjoying "Mars" on Nat Geo.  Just caught up to episode 4 and it continues to have a pleasant balance between current documentary (progress towards Mars exploration and how it compares to Exploration in the Antarctic etc) and Sci-fi Dramatisation of a future mission.

No sign of John Carter yet or nubile red skinned Princesses, however...


All posts either sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek or mildly mocking-in-a-friendly-way unless otherwise stated. I always forget to put those smiley things...

Adam Curtis' Hypernormalisation was released to iPlayer last night. His Bitter Lake was one of the best things I watched last year.

Tipped off to check this the other night - Storyville doc on Beitar Jerusalem and their badshit crazy fanbase.

Also been enjoying Modus on a Scandi-noir tip. It's no The Bridge, but a decent watch:

the windsors on 4's catch up/iplayer thing. Piss take soap opera of the royal family 2 series and an xmas special. Probably not one to watch if you're a royalist with no sense of humor.

Following a tipoff in The Guardian over the weekend happened upon "Search Party", all season 1 available on the Channel 4 catchup thing.


A bit unusual - think whodunnit / private eye style thing, but framed in a hipster-y, millenial post-post-modern NYC universe. Actually quite funny in places too.

Did anybody else watch SS-GB? It got a slating oh Twitter but I really enjoyed it, despite having to rewind and rewatch a few bits with the subtitles on.

I've not seen it, on the digbox to watch, but the synopsis sounds remarkably similar to;

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fatherland-Robert-Harris/dp/0099527898

which seems to have been released only a few months after

https://www.amazon.co.uk/SS-GB-Len-Deighton/dp/0586050027

I believe The Man in the High Castle covers similar ground too.

It was a decent first episode, but not brilliant. Definitely going to watch the rest of the series and reckon it might develop well. The Man in the High Castle was really good. (Especially the first few episodes)

For those unaware, the new series of Inside No.9 starts again tonight, 10pm on BBC 2. Shearsmith/Pemberton horror comedy weirdness........

I'm not one to go all nerdy over cars and engines and machinery and whatnot. But.
Fuck. Ing. Hell. Robot Wars is AMAZING. Massive lumps of metal hurling each other round like rag dolls. Shrapnel flying everywhere. The losers begging the victors to stop ripping panels off their machine and at least leave them with something! This is how it always should have been!

As a mate put it in a text message: "there's a team that claims their robot is pulling 1000 amps. Thats like...A substation. Put your finger in there and you'll vanish in a puff of smoke."

That'd be insane  - I think (but am not sure) that substations typically have 400 amp fuses.   Presumably a robot would be running on 12V or 24V batteries, so that would be a peak power of 12-24kW..... crikey.

Decent docs on photography don't come round very often. This is the best I've seen since 'Gursky world' about ten years ago. Not the sort of stuff you'd likely put on your wall but hugely entertaining and a real character.

Thanks for the reminder - I've been looking forward to this.

And, on the contrary, I've been trying to secure a print of this one for my wall for some time...

We've been watching Treme, the HBO series about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (been watching in on Amazon video and are about half way through season two). At times this is a pretty raw portrait of a city that was truly fucked over. At the same time, I'm starting to really enjoy how the separate characters and storylines are becoming ever more entwined.

Really enjoyed this free doc about the Newbury protest, which climaxed 21 years ago last week.

The climbing link gets a brief section, and Sheff scenesters will be able to spot a familiar face or two. Scabs!
