Did anyone else watch the documentary film about the brilliant Usain Bolt last night? The amount of work that guy has put in to get where he is today is just phenomenal and yet he seems to remain as level headed and loyal to his group of friends and relatives as ever. The really telling thing for me was one of his…
Did anyone else watch the first episode tonight? I can forgive the Beeb any number of idiotic productions as long as it keeps making fabulous programmes like this. Brought back happy memories for us because, to celebrate our 60 th's some years ago, we cruised from Vancouver up to Glacier Bay including a stop at Juneau to…
Did anyone watch the above series which has just finished. A very sensitive portrayal of a number of issues, I thought.
We do watch it most years but I do wonder why as it's a puzzle that I can never work out!!! The songs I quite like don't do so well and yet others seem to do better. Is there such a variance of music taste across 42 nations in this internet world. Perhaps taste doesn't come into it as most of the songs entered would hardly…
Don't know if any of you managed to catch this new Canadian police drama on Saturday night on BBC4. Similar genre to some of the Scandi dramas. Looks as though it could be a good one. Cardinal is a detective, like many others, who seems to want to play by his own rules. He has a new sidekick but she is not just that but an…
Spent most of a very wet afternoon watching last night's One Love Manchester concert. Until the awful events of a couple of weeks ago I'd never heard of Ariana Grande but I have to say I was totally impressed by the way that young woman conducted herself. I sometimes get a bit sceptical about these big celebrities "giving…
Well, I thought that our local news in Yorkshire was bad, but the local news further north is far, far worse. We in Yorkshire have to endure the dreadful Harry Gration (when will he retire??) with his constant ranting about sport and his love of Bradford (from which he rightly moved to York many years ago). But in this…
And just up the road from us in the Cotswolds! Unmissable viewing this week. Great shots of the Blue Tits, Jays and Swallows and wow, those Peregrines at Salisbury Cathedral. Expecting more great stories, and no doubt some sad endings during the week. This is what the Beeb does best!
"It was 50 years ago today ...." that The Beatles released the Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. I still have it on vinyl and (not so good, CD) and although it doesn't get played that much these days, it's stood the test of time well. Anyone else still playing it? I wonder how much of today's music will…
Perhaps a bit late now to mention it (available on catch up) but the second series, and maybe the last, ended tonight. Amazing engineering. Good to see so many youngish people in charge of such works both in the civil engineering and building the trains. David
