Looks like Planet Earth 3 will be on soon - the 4k disc is available for pre-order.

Tonight in fact, and on iPlayer, hopefully in 4k.

Watched all four parts of The Reckoning last night - Steve Coogan as a spookily convincing Jimmy Savile. Unpleasant but compelling viewing.

Yep, the Hannah Fry one was very interesting... waiting for the next one in the series

And as of Weds next week, series 2!

The biometric passport, vacuum cleaner, smartphone, microwave, headphones and lifts.

Excellent watch, thank you

More than welcome. She's got a lovely voice - but having read an interview in RT she's an Essex girl and used to speak accordingly. I find it very hard to imagine!

And what's wrong with an Essex accent?

Yes, I saw from her passport born in Harlow...coincidentally, exactly the same month and year as my Quad tuner purchase.

She's a lovely woman and that's one of the (increasingly rare) things that I watch.
Almost made me want to get a passport - mine expired 16 years ago.

One of those old black and white inserts showed an old car crashing to a dead stop - and a woman falling out - which really amused me.

The smartphone one: could easily be a 10 hour programme covering the technology involved in those.

Couldn't possibly say...!

Tried to watch the first part of a two part documentary about Concorde that was on C4, but gave up after five minutes - incessant and overly loud & strident background music. Seemed particularly inappropriate as most of the viewers would be (I suspect) males not in the first flush of youth...

I persevered. Found it interesting, proving the Russians are very good at one thing - espionage - Concordski (TU-144).

Did the music subside?

No idea! It didn't bother my cloth ears

Bangers and Cash

Interesting programme but....

Some of their car prices have become so expensive. You used to use car auctions for a bargain, not any longer it seems. You can buy cheaper on the open market, especially brands like fast Fords.
