Yes, this was amazing - she was such a force of nature.
Sorry to hear about your friend. My little cousin died of bowel cancer aged 31. It is, quite literally, a shit disease.
What's currently good on the BBC iPlayer?

New presenter is a bit wooden though. Maybe she'll warm up.
scrolling through the iplayer films list I spotted this was up - So Long My Son
www.bbc.co.uk
I can't recommend it highly enough.
an epic following a group of Chinese families of an industrial town. back and forth from the 1980s through to 2010s. through all the grand political and economic upheaval that took place, social pressures like imposition of the one child policy, etc and against that personal tragedy and heartbreak.
it is a touch over three hours long though. think it'll be easier to watch again at home now than when we saw at the cinema
BBC Four - So Long My Son
The lives of two families over three decades of social and political upheaval in China.

Watching this on the actual telly at the moment, it's excellent - presumably (hopefully) it will appear on iPlayer.

Our Hobby Is Depeche Mode is an incredible Jeremy Dellar film about Depecje Mode fans around the world.
It’s a great reminder of the power of music and the intensity it can bring to people’s lives.

Given how certain DM tracks instantly take me back to pivotal moments in my life, I might just watch that.

This is really good - we've seen the ones on John Lennon and Amy Whitehouse so far.

Absolutely fucking loved Colin From Accounts. There aren’t many sitcoms with such likeable characters, even the awful ones.
And the dog.
And one of the final lines:
”We are going to make that little girl cry though”.
….”Good”

That's on my 'to watch' list.
Currently watching Paris Police 1905 (you can guess where it's set by the title....) which I count as part of my French studies.It's pretty good I thought. I didn't realise there's actually one before that (1900), so I'll have to watch that sometime.
We (me and my wife) loved Paris Police 1900. So beautifully crafted, from the costumes to the cinematography. Unfortunately it disappeared from iplayer halfway through the series; we had to get a week's free trial of Studio Canal+ to finish it. Looking forward to PP 1905.
Ah cheers mate I thought only the first was there.Watched 3 of these so far, and they're very good

Vice is there again, the dark comedy biopic of Dick Cheney, sadly still with us.

I’m a bit in love with the female lead’s best friend.
I enjoyed The Stones and Brian Jones. The less heard about guy who started the band as a blues cover outfit before being over taken and then sacked by Jagger/Richards before drowning in a swimming pool and joining the 27 club.

Arena - The Stones and Brian Jones
A look at the relationships and rivalries within The Rolling Stones in their formative years, as well as the creative musical genius of Brian Jones, key to the success of the band.

I think he started it.
But, yes, it was an interesting documentary.
(The story about him not being plugged in during a later recording - out of badness - that his French ex-girlfriend told isn’t true. Many who were there say he was plugged in, but he was so out of it his track wasn’t useable so it’s way down the mix. Still there, because they couldn’t isolate very well in those days, but just faded out as much as they could).
The documentary mentioned that Hendrix and Morrison both gave him glowing obituaries before stepping off the coil themselves a year later. Not sure when Joplin went and can't be arsed to look so you're probably right.

Joplin went in 1970. Jones was the first of that “spate”, which led to the concept. Others, like Robert Johnson, were added retrospectively.
Yeah, it was a 60s thing going forward. The retrospective stuff doesn't count imo.

I wonder why nearly all the documents relating to Jones's death are held secret for 75 years?
I didn’t know that. Weird.

It's riveting, isn't it.
Used to think some of the early punk gigs in London were rough, but you really took your life in your hands trekking to the Harp Bar, Belfast eh.
It's her sister, isn't it?
