At a local Baptist church the Harvest Festival service was under way. The children all came up to the Pastor, gave up their gifts of produce to be put around the base of the pulpit. Bread, Ham, Beef, Marrows, tins of beans, fruits of all sorts etc., The last child was carrying a bowl of oranges, as the Rev bent down to…
Rather belatedly I’ve got into the antics of Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse and their fishing adventures around the UK. It’s a simple formula, just two good friends sharing beautiful locations, enjoying each other’s company, and reflecting on life. As you’d expect the observations and banter are very funny at times. It…
Wonderful series of documentaries on BBC iPlayer at the moment for anyone with an interest in sport, and particularly Football. Fever Pitch is the story of the Premier League, from its set up in 1992 onwards, and how a series of circumstances came together to change the face of football forever. Some very good…

Watched all 3 episodes of ‘Stephen’ on ITV Player last night. It tells the story of the Stephen Lawrence family and their fight for justice for their murdered son. It’s too good to wait until next week for the next episode. Powerful, compelling TV all the more so as these shocking events actually happened. It made me feel…
Given recent events the BBC recently screened the documentary ‘Rolling Stones: Crossfire Hurricane’ originally created for their 50th anniversary. If you’re a Stones fan it’s a great watch on iPlayer. ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ - isn’t that one of the best song titles ever?
Anyone staying on the North Yorkshire Moor site as we are going there on Sunday. Just wondering what tv reception you have or if I need to take plenty of reading material. j
Has anyone been watching Richard E Grant's TV programme on BBC 4? This week he was in southern France exploring various writing trails, finally getting to Provence and interviewing Carole Drinkwater about her life and books. Italy previously, I'm enjoying these programmes, lots to look at and many tales to tell.
The Olympics usually coincide with a few decent Sports Documentaries available to watch on TV. Couple I have recently viewed are both on BBC iPlayer, “Lance” a Storyville two part in depth documentary around Lance Armstrong, and possibly the longest fall from the highest pedestal in recent sports history. It can be a…
Just a word of warning to others. I have subscribed to Netflix for some years now but have found that over the last year or so, we have watched it less and less - mainly due to the large proportion of American films which, frankly, I find irritating. I therefore cancelled my subscription a few weeks ago. Last night and…
