    Make that two - my teenage daughter admits to watching it despite me laughing and pointing out its totally trash tv, utter utter rubbish. She knows but still loves it. God help us.

    I've just finished watching all eight episodes of Season One of the BBC series "Gentleman Jack" which has been showing on HBO over here. Based on the diaries of the "first British lesbian" in the 1830-40s, with Suranne Jones wonderful in the role of the main character, Ann Lister, and filmed at her ancestral home, Shibden Hall, near Halifax, I strongly recommend it as the amazing, and quite tragic, story of a remarkable woman who dared to be different in the face of local scorn and animosity. Beautifully filmed and acted, Season Two is expected to begin early next year.

    I've been wondering whether to watch it, but your recommendation has made up my mind and I will give it a go.

    I've been watching The Looming Towers, fascinating, and it beggars belief what went on prior to 9/11 between the FBI & CIA.

    On Netflix......Bob Lazar. Area 51 and flying saucers.

    About the guy who blew the whistle (if you believe) on area 51 and the US government having advance/extraterrestrial space craft.

    I watched following listening to the guy on Joe Rogan podcast.

    Who'd have thought munching on the rugs of Market Weighton would make it to a BBC Sunday night drama eh?

    I'm currently watching The Confession Tapes.

    Each episode is the story of someone coerced into confessing to something they didn't do and in each case there's no evidence other than the confession. In fact, in several of the cases, there's plenty of evidence that someone else was responsible.

    Even those who are released on appeal, when new evidence clearly proves they were completely innocent, are still threatened with a retrial if they don't accept a deal for a lesser charge keeping them out of prison on time served and avoiding any chance of a compensation claim against the state.

    Once someone is convicted in the US, everything is stacked against them getting released, even when it's blindingly obvious that they're innocent.

    It's actually pissing me off seeing how bent the whole thing is.

    You won’t like the documentary or the film about the 4 young black lads arrested in Central Park for a rape then

    I've seen that as well, at least that was so high profile, that when it was proven that they were innocent, they were released and given $41m in compensation.

    True, but you watch it knowing the same thing will have gone on thousands of other times where they haven’t been as ‘lucky’ (bad way to describe it but you know what I mean)

    There's some good one's about prisoners on death row.

    One guy was there for killing his own daughter, in a brutal way. They interviewed his cousin, as she was the brighter Hill Billy, and she was saying how it was sad, because he was trying to help the bairn as it was possessed by demons. She went to talk about the film the Exorcist, basically saying it was a documentary filmed live.

    The interviewer asked the lad's defence lawyer if this information could be used in an appeal for clemency.

    With a totally serious face, the lawyer said "This is Texas. You don't get clemency here if you're innocent, so they certainly won't give it to someone for being a retard."
