What's currently good on the BBC iPlayer?

[PTK]

Have to agree with this.

Really rated the first episode - very original and totally absorbing. I watched the second episode last night and was very disappointed - just got daft. I'll still watch the last one - but my expectations are low.....

I saw the first episode of The Way last week or the week before, and I thought that it started well but became a bit daft, and I decided not to watch the rest of it.
It did not make sense that so many different political groups would turn up in town, and camp there. It did not make sense that the Army would be deployed. The Army were engaged in riot control without the proper equipment. It did not make sense that Wales would apparently by sealed off.

Raw and brutal isn’t it. I loved it, preferred it to it’s contemporaries but I am prob’ a bit biased.

I got 10 minutes into it and hated it. Wooden acting, shite accents, unbelievable dialogue.

She is, and episode one is great, but the quality suddenly dips, sadly. I gave up on it.

Might watch this with my eldest, she's into photography and women photographers in particular, I think she'll like this.

if you need cheering up after Tish, do yourself a favour and watcn The Assembly. Michael Sheen meets a group of people with a range of disabilities, who ask him a bunch of questions and he answers them. That’s it really - doesn’t sound like much, but it really is just the tonic if you feel you don’t like people much right now. Watch it, it’s only half an hour a long.

The Assembly

Michael Sheen faces the interview of a lifetime from The Assembly, a group of autistic, neurodivergent and learning disabled people. Expect revelation, chaos and a lot of laughs.

Am enjoying something called Float which I suppose you could call a mini soap opera for young adults in small town Scotland (somewhere on the Clyde estuary I think) that centres around coming out.

It’s quite charming, dreamy in places and some beautiful shots of the coastal area it’s set in.

Finished it now, and can't say that my enjoyment of it diminished at all.

This is one of the best things I have seen for a while. I think the acting and writing are superb.

Yeah, far better than pesky blinders, well worth the viewing
