I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing. |  | | |  |

Great ending. Urban can do no wrong as far as Im concerned. He kept his helmet on when being Dredd.
I wish I did! |
Except for his woeful accent, which vears all over the place. |  | | |

"Arctic Alone" has two episodes left and the poor sods trying to keep themselves alive in the frozen wilderness around the Great Slave Lake have now been eking out an existence for over two months.
I have found the combination of haunting natural beauty, half-forgotten skills and mental and physical challenges utterly compelling but I expect many would find it niche, nay boring. Hey ho. |
I watched the final episode of "Arctic Alone" on Friday. There was heartbreak for one of the last two contestants when the medical team insisted that she withdraw due to frostbite in her big toes. That's what ice fishing when it's minus 30 degrees C does to you. She was actually coping pretty well, with her traps still catching snowshoe hares and the ice fishing contributing a few sizable fish. She was helicoptered out on day 89.
That left one bloke, but to get the $1m, he needed to stick it out for the full 100 days. That he duly did, but, ironically, he was having less success getting food than the afore-mentioned woman and was relying on the remains of a musk ox he had killed weeks before. At the very end of the challenge, that meant having to boil up musk ox hoof and - change channels now if you are of a sensitive disposition - chyme.
Chyme is partially digested stomach contents, in this case, the grasses the long-dead musk ox had consumed 
He really earned his victory! |  |

For sheer schlock exuberance and repeated mastery of the word 'c unt' from Karl Urban, The Boys on Amazon is hard to beat. |
L ike the show but Urban's accent ruins his "cnting" for me . For absolute mastery it has to be Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast. |  | | |

The Mandalorian season 2 is here tomorrow (Friday) - well worth a look if you haven't already, especially if you're a sci-fi / star wars fan - it's brilliant. |  |

I planned to wait until the series had run and then binge but caved. First 2 eps definitely up to the standard of series 1.
Perdida on Netflix. Spanish with English subtitles. Very good. | | | |

Helas!
I was looking around for a bit of Spiral and I see it's now on sale on Amazon Prime at about £8 a series. Being too mean for that, I have been watching a Netflix series called Le Bazar de la Charite (English title The Bonfire of Destiny) starring the great Audrey. It's based on a disastrous fire at a charity ball in 1897 Paris, and it's very enjoyable rubbish, a mash-up of Downton Abbey, Les Miserables and Titanic, but much less subtle than any of them. The plot is at the same time ingenious and laughable, but it looks great. Audrey is looking painfully thin these days, but there's a bogglingly lovely character played by (it says here) a French pop singer called Camille Lou, so I'm sticking with it.

Thanks I'll check it out. | |

Watched the first 7 series at least twice. My French is still not good enough to bypass the sub titles.
Not a big fan of Audrey Fleurot but I do like Carolien Proust. And Philip Duclos as le juge is always entertaining.
In fact, I'll give a big push for a lot of the Euro dramas from BBC4. The Bridge, Borgen both 2 other excellent choices. |  |

Not sure if it was a first showing but there was an excellent documentary about Ronnie Scott's on BBC4 last night (now on iPlayer).
Some great footage throughout with multi-instrumentalist Blind Roland Kirk (and I mean multi-instruments all at once!) and Buddy Rich on drums the stand out for me.
It's not all about the Jazz but as much a story of post-war London. Mobsters, friendship, money and depression.
I've never been personally but hope to spend a Tuesday afternoon there one day. [Post edited 18 Nov 2020 9:06]

Agree on the Caroline/Audrey thing.
Also I thought that the recently finished “DNA” by the writers of “The Killing” in BBC4’s Saturday evening foreign import slot was very good. And ‘The Twelve”, a Belgian whodunnit about a jury trial on C4’s “Walter Presents” was very intriguing as well. | | | |

I'm jumping the gun somewhat here, but this looks like it needs to be watched:
I believe it is available on Curzon Home Cinema. (not 100% on that). |  |

Apologies if it's been mentioned already, but I found a German film from 2018 on Prime called The Captain last night. It's very long (4 hours) so I've only seen half of it so far. It's brilliantly made (helped by black and white filming) but very unpleasant. A young deserter on the collapsing Western Front in April 1945 finds an officer's uniform and convinces people he's Hitler's personal emissary. You probably won't enjoy it, but it's well worth trying - I thought I'd give it ten minutes and two hours flew by.
EDIT - 2 hours, not four. Oddly, once it finishes, they show it again. [Post edited 30 Sep 2020 16:07]

I saw a couple tonight. It’s not bad by any means, but nothing special so far. No surprises yet. |  | | |

If not enjoy. | |
