running from law and the press and the parents
It's got Paul whitehose doing Arthur Shelby!! Honestly, this is the best. I'm laughing so much I've gone back to watch bits again, it's pretty quick paced

I see Rev is back on iPlayer , am very pleased about that.
A question. When they put a show back on iPlayer after a long gap, is that a signal they are warming us up for a new series?

Sometimes but not very often.
They have put up all of Spooks, Waking The Dead, Hustle and others and I am pretty sure they are all finished.
I don't think there will be any more Rev either.

The MOTD bit did it for me, brilliant.

Well, it might get shit later on, but my OH and I have rather enjoyed the first two episodes of SAS Rogue Heroes. I care not for historical accuracy or lack thereof in this case, but the fast pace and quirkiness of it. In fact, it was always going to be the only way we were going to last with it, as I grow increasingly less patient with grave, slow paced series.

BBC Two - The Hacienda - The Club That Shook Britain
The story of the Hacienda, including interviews with clubbers like Noel Gallagher.
An eight-part Storyville series, Philly DA: Breaking the Law, is excellent. Philadelphia elects a new district attorney, a former defence lawyer, who sets about trying to reform the justice system in the city to be less bang-em-up. There are bits of The Wire made real there, e.g. the concept of Hamsterdam.

When Ghosts first started, the first few episodes felt properly shit to me. Like a third-rate Sky One attempt at a comedy series circa 1990. To its credit it found its feet very swiftly afterwards and became surprisingly watchable, if not a comedy for the ages.
Have been somewhat underwhelmed by the first two episodes of S4. Felt a bit like the start of the diminishing returns phase, but I hope to be proven wrong.

The English review – Emily Blunt’s sweeping western is a rare, sensational masterpiece
Hugo Blick’s revelatory series is a gorgeous, glorious new take on the old west – a lawless land where no one can hear you, or anyone in your way, scream

joy in people
One of the best things I've seen all year. If I was going to quibble, I'd say the acting from Rafe Spall could have been dialled down a bit (a lot) but everyone else was so good and I found it so affecting it didn't matter.This is great

slight system overdrive
Can't say it had that effect but some great moments, the Adam Curtis piss-taking was spot on. They came dangerously close to saying the BBC was too woke at one point, but redeemed themselves by mercilessly roasting Rupert Murdoch (who is known throughout as 'Raised by Dingoes'). Did I laugh all the time? No, not even close, but when the hits are good you're allowed to have some misses.
This is very good, I'm halfway through.

Not finished it yet, got one left, however there have been a number of times where I've asked my wife "Are you sure that's not Danny Dyer" on the same basis of overacting and wank cockneyisms. Really enjoying it though so tonight, for the third time, I will try and watch the last one again without nodding off.
Not iPlayer but BBC Sounds, the radio equivalent. Gripping but utterly depressing look into the murder of Rikki Neave, how it was investigated by the police, including the assumptions made about his family, and how the perpetrator was brought to justice.

My mum said that I should listen as while it is harrowing it is fascinating.
I am wondering if we should rename the old pinned Wireless Watch thread to Whats on BBC Sounds as it is only myself a few other who have posted in it in the past few years and it is all stuff on Sounds.
Or just start a new BBC Sounds thread

BBC Sounds keeps me sane(er).Do you know I'd never even noticed that thread and I listen to the radio a lot.
There is so much stuff on there from old golden age detective dramas to new podcasts made by young women who are unapologetically themselves, and everything in between

Watching the second series of this and really enjoying it. Not much in the way of veggie options tho!
I gave up on that last night. Absolute tosh. Style over substance. Inauthentic dialogue/hair/costumes, a romanticised view of the time and place. And I really wanted to like it.This is great

It's a yarn. But an enjoyable one.
I'm very interested in the history behind it and have done a lot of reading over the years. It's not for me. Too many glaring holes.
