Mr Bates vs the Post Office - didn't see it when it aired, but enough to make the most mild-mannered among us fume.

Dara & Ed's Great Big Adventure - didn't see it when it first aired, but a three-parter about Dara O'Briain and Ed Byrne's 4,000 mile road trip through the Americaa. Interesting and funny.

Have you seen the hour-long piece about the series coming to an end? It's on iplayer at the end of series 9. Watched last night and really enjoyed it.
Also watched the latest 24 Hours in Police Custody, about three separate people involved in the crystal meth business in (of all places) Norfolk. I reckon they should have called it Breaking Broad...

After recommendation from two friends Rach and I have just finished season 1 of All Creatures And Small. I vaguely remember watching the original when I was a kid and wasn't sure about watching a remake but I love it. Will be starting season 2 tonight.

Re-watching Oz & James's Big Wine Adventure, and will doubtless segue into the Californian one and Oz & James Drink to Britain. Oz's pretentions being mocked by May is a source of endless delight.

Set up to record a three part series by James May about the 'great' explorers - quotation marks included as the first one seems as though it'll be bringing Columbus down a peg or two. Will give it the benefit of the doubt as the RT writeup is good, though staggeringly it's on C5...

Earlier this evening, my wife was watching a programme on BBC 4 about Cleopatra and, I couldn’t help thinking about Carry On Cleo…
No mystery as to which of the two of you is the cultured one.
Leave BBC4 to the wife and you stick to ITV3......where you can watch a quality documentary about transport in the 1970s, called 'On The Buses'.

Condemned to watching ITV3, is a fate worse than death. Watching On the buses, is worse… 😱
Watched the first two so far, rather good. Would have liked Lucy Worsley's take on this as she is brilliant at these kind of historical features.
James May is undoubtedly the best presenter out of the three TG presenters. I don't enjoy anything the other two put out as it verges on imbecilic and staged.

Only thing that got on my nerves was the music - too loud and too jaunty. Haven't seen the second one appear on the hard drive, so I wondering whether I set it up just for a single programme, not the entire series. D'oh! if so...

The Young Ones on blu ray. Still looks a little tatty as you'd expect, but a definite improvement on the DVDs. For example, I'd never noticed in the one where they have a house party that the lecturer is snogging one of the other partygoers.
It's dated in so many ways, but was such a massive influence on comedy that I'll always have a soft spot for it.

Earlier this evening watched, The Plank (1967). Not the first time, won't be the last time. It's a wonderful little film.
