looks fun. thanks for posting that.
I don't suppose anyone knows if there's an option somewhere to automatically always skip these pre-roll trailers that they've started adding to iplayer?
What's currently good on the BBC iPlayer?

If you haven't seen it, Lady Macbeth, starring the marvellous Florence Pugh, is currently on the iPlayer. Absolute cracker of a film IMO.

I watched this last night. Not my usual fair and I can't say I enjoyed it, but I'm sure plenty of others here would do.
It expires next Tuesday, so be quick-ish.

There's a new comedy called PRU, about a, er, PRU.
Obviously self-interest here but I watched the pilot last night (the pilot is only 17 minutes long) and while not being brilliant it was certainly ok and is a quite good reflection of life in a PRU. The writers are ex-PRU staff and one of the kids is an ex-PRU pupil. In fact she liked them so much she went to four.
Full series is 4 episodes I think and starts on Friday (but the pilot is there now). Also, one of the teachers is the woman who played Gervais's dead wife in Afterlife. And I like her.
Won't change your life but it's nice to see things like that on TV.

Have you watched the Marley Marl one? It's very much not just him and Shan, but Boogie Down Productions too. Roxanne Shante and Nas are among the interviewees, as well The Roots, who seem to be on all of them.
I've got just the Queen Latifah one to go.

Two episodes last night. Rest on demand. Already seen it, watching it again. It's so good.
The Terror is easily the most compelling new drama to reach British screens this year – review
This ageless story is told with rock-solid characterisation and intelligent, soulful dialogue brought to vivid life by an enviable cast including Jared Harris and Ciaran Hinds

I watched the first one and it made me feel sick, won't be watching any more.

During the post mortem scene presumably?I watched the first episode on tommers recommendation. I usually avoid supernatural/horror/monster shit so I'll give this a couple more episodes to see how silly it gets. If it was a straight historical adventure thing it would be right up my street but it looks like it's going to get weird.

Be sure to let us know as I can’t stand that shite either.

BBC Four - Storyville, Into the Storm: Surfing to Survive
A troubled teenager attempts to realise his dream of becoming a professional surfer.

It is historically very accurate, in as much as we know about the expedition. For example the spoiling of the food and the cans, the names of most of the people are accurate, the route of the expedition etc. The guy who died mentioned other people who had died earlier on, that's all true. The note left in the cairn is real.
Some of it might also be less accurate. But who can tell.
Oooh spooky.
Anyway Orang Utan mentioned it first, so if you don't like it blame him.

Aye, there’s only one strand of the plot which’s definitely historically inaccurate but it’s quite a big bit of the story

I absolutely loved The Terror - watched the entire thing in one sitting yesterday after finishing the last of Bates Motel, 5 seasons of which had taken up the last couple of days (look, if I start complaining that I have put on weight during lockdown, remind me that I could have been doing more exercise and watching less TV).
I actively enjoy dramas that mix history with a little nonsense, if they are done well - and The Terror does it very well indeed. Tbf, a lot of it is conjecture but feasible in "real world" terms without going into the supernatural horror type realm, but one strand of the story is obviously supernatural nonsense.

A big shout for this one, it`s called Jellyfish, at the moment on the BBC I player
Only a 7.0 on this one but I love this film so much.

Watched this morning. As gritty British youth dramas go it's really good. Young carers don't get much attention but it felt like it was well researched and presented a believable set of circumstances. Performance by the lead was great, her mum's wasn't always but overall II thought it came together really well. Would recommend.
Watched this last night, loved it. Definitely best depiction I've ever seen of being on ecstasy.
Twas bittersweet. I listened to a load of old and great classic party tunes after but I felt sad that that part of my life is over because it was so fun.

Just watched it. Absolutely fucking fantastic! Deffo the best depiction as you say - had the sweats all the way through. Top banana. Snowballs & Resurrection!

I might watch it again now, even though I bought it. Takes less clicks to get to iplayer
We enjoyed it, I read a review that said it was like, “Master and Commander meets The Thing”
Jared Harris and Ian Hart are really good in this.
Mrs S. wondered if a sequel would be called Tumbuq 2.

I’m on it!
I cheered myself up from a boring lockdown stupor earlier with the bright and vivacious Apocalypse Now.
