He's sort of grown into himself, if you see what I mean. Florence Foster Jenkins, Paddington 2 and A Very English Scandal in the space of three-ish years is a great run of roles for any actor.
What's currently good on the BBC iPlayer?

Nighty Night has some very dark humour but it is brilliant
Vic and Bob's Big Night Out, if only for the Freerunning in the Community Rural Environment sketches (although the other stuff is very good too).

Is that still available? I was reading about it recently and felt I should watch a documentary of some sort to really take the whole thing in.

I watched the Alasdair Gray at Eighty doc tonight. Now feel a bit more educated.

Fuck that was horrible wasn't it. I thought I knew about it having read stuff before over the years, but when they show the end of jonestown I could actually feel my heart thumping.

Tonight watched the Kes documentary and the Chris Packham punk documentary, both very good.
Same, as a kid I remember seeing the front covers of stacks of bodies in the jungle, and heard the Kool-Aid jokes, but I really had no idea about what they created in the jungle, the congressman and the sequence of events, or that much of it was on tape of some sort; quite a tale, and that laugh of Jim’s, lordy.

I actually can't listen to the Alabama 3 track 'Mao Tse Tung said', I have always skipped past it because it gives me the creeps - only recently did I make the connection that it samples Jim Jones ranting .

The Chris Packham Horizon doc about the earth's population is worth a watch.
A new series of Man Like Mobeen has appeared, and the first episode is excellent, especially Uncle Shady.
Cheers for that - watched it over the last couple of nights. Fucking hell. I don't remember it on the news at all, but sort of vaguely took it in over the years. Always thought that the final day was actually a voluntary decision. Oh my god
I have loved that track for years. Totally ruined for me now. Cannot listen to it without knowing all of that.

Jonestown has always terrified me the most because as a non-religious person I can keep a certain detachment from most cults, I just wouldn't be drawn to them. But People's Temple; I can imagine how attractive the People's Temple must have seemed - antiracist, racially mixed, socialist, optional religion of the liberation theory kind - to someone young and lost (as I certainly was at points in my youth). And then once you're in Guyana you're completely trapped. Truly chilling.
This Life is being repeated on BBC4 for some reason, so you can find that on the iplayer.
Meanwhile, Frankie Boyle and Bob Mortimer's Cookery Show is only five minutes, but as much fun as one would expect.

A new Agatha Christie adaptation - The Pale Horse - started last night. Part 2 on Sunday. It's great so far! I can't remember the story at all but it's pretty creepy.
Pretty much exactly what I said on a FB thread I started about it, when someone said that they couldn't understand how people became sucked in by 'cults'. I could deffo see the attraction of the People's Temple.
Shame in the Game: Racism in Football probably confirms what many already know. It's an interesting watch nonetheless.

Somewhat annoyed with myself that I am enjoying Portillo on his global train journeys
I've never watched his programmes, but as a concept it sounds like it was dreamt up in the Linton Travel Tavern.
Not the iplayer, but Channel 4 seem to have bought up the UK licence for Seinfeld, and have put the first five series up.
