Yeah I'm really enjoying this.
What's currently good on the BBC iPlayer?

Election is on iPlayer at the moment, if anyone's looking for a bit of light relief. Film starting Reese Witherspoon, it's quite funny.

It's a great programme. I thought this last episode was the best of all of them including the Liverpool and Newcastle ones.
Olusoga really makes history come to life via meticulous research and contextualisation.

Indeed
The bit where he showed the old lady the picture of her family (the one where they were all in the huge car) especially. Her reaction to seeing it (it looked like she'd never seen it before) almost had me in bits.

Self-Isolating before it was fashionable
The RadioTimes are running a campaign to have the Sarah Jane Adventures added to iPlayer - all of modern Who and Torchwood are currently on there, but SJA isn't available for streaming anywhere (I'm guessing K9 rights issues). I coincidentally started a rewatch a couple of days ago (DVD) and it's as great as I remember it. If you like Dr Who when it's not the Doctor taking on the entire universe, it's well worth watching

Another vote for Ranganation. It's great and seems to get crazier as the lockdown has gone on. You can really see it watching them back to back. Love it!

I just saw a pic/caption for that when I went on iPlayer to watch Sewing Bee the other night.
It's gone on my watchlist because Michaela Coel is brilliant.
For anyone wondering what it's about, it's a sexual consent drama that's got rave reviews, some snippets of which are in here (don't worry, no spoilers). Michaela Coel consent drama gets rave reviews

mrsb wanted to watch this the other night. I hadn’t heard of it and new nothing about it other than a brief line ‘arabella comes back from abroad unable to get to grips with the deadline for her second novel’ (or something like that). It filled me with dread, but I relented once I remembered who Michaela Coel actually was. Didn’t think it was anything special until close to the end of the first one, when there was a ‘hang on, what just happened?’ moment. And got hooked. Watched part 2 straight after and rewatched 1 to double and triple check just what happened in that club scene.
Excellent stuff.

worked it out now!
Thanks for heads-up , just watched it & perfect for my gin-head!

this is no longer a place of honour
We watched all 24 episodes of Cardinal over the last week or so - quite enjoyed it - Crime Drama - Canadian - 45min episodes - quite violent in places

The third series of This Country has been on for a while but I've only just got round to it.
I found the first two episodes slightly lacking but after that it was as brilliant as the other two series. The wake at the pub was particularly good.
I'm guessing this will be the last series.

I watched the first four of this yesterday and can't wait for the rest. Really challenging content though. I've been thinking about all of it a lot.
We watched the first two the other night. Girding myself for the next two.
Just finished season 2, love it.

I got to episode 4, a good look - graphic at times - at sexual consent. Looking forward to more episodes.
Re watched the end episode 1 last night as my husband started watching it. Still confusing and disorienting, as it should be.
Return to Turin, where Gary Lineker, Paul Parker and Terry Butcher retrace England's 1990 World Cup. I think it was shown two years ago, but I don't remember watching it then. Along with Mark Wright and Des Walker, Parker is the member of that team who you never hear anything of these days.
Be warned, it repeats the anecdote about Lineker's "dicky tummy" against Ireland.

Enjoyed this. But not enough surfing.

Anyone else watch The Salisbury Poisonings? A drama about... well, you know the story.
It's definitely worth a watch. The perspective is from a public health point of view rather than an international spy drama.
Which makes it sound dull, but it's far from that. Anne-Marie Duff is excellent as the executive tasked with leading the response (safety, contamination, tracing etc.).
Recommended.

Series 2 of Glow Up 
, it's the Bake Off/Sewing Bee formula but with make-up artists. For some reason got quite addicted to watching the first series despite having no interest in make-up.
