    HBO box sets and Netflix american programmes are great but I'm going to give some BBC TV a nod, the consistently good Happy Valley, classic British cop show building up to a great finale, also the recent re run of Early Doors, a great British sitcom.

    Watched two things this morning:

    Waking The Titanic - The story of Fourteen people from the small village of Addergoole in county Mayo, Ireland (total population of 92) who were on the Titanic when it sank, only three survived. It's obviously a heartbreaking story, but it's also quite an interesting watch, I wasn't aware how much luxury the third class passengers travelled in, for many it was the first time they'd seen electric light, slept in their own bed, eaten fruit and used silver cuttlery.

    Jung_E - This is Korean sci-fi, set in a future where humans have pretty much destroyed the planet and there been a war for the past forty years. It's basically the story of a woman who's trying to recreate her warrior mother using her mothers brain in the body of an android. Being Korean it's fairly over the top and a little weird, but the special effects are impressive. Sadly, the star had a brain hemorrhage and died before it was released.

    Browsing through YouTube last night and it suggested the opening ceremony for the London 2012 Olympic Games. I started to watch and finished it earlier tonight, nigh on 4 hours worth. It reminded me of what an absolute triumph it was. I also remember the naysayer HDM types that told us it would be a disaster were nowhere to be heard the day after. :emoticon-0100-smile

    I watched Worth yesterday, it stars Michael Keaton in the true story of the lawyer tasked with deciding the value of the lives lost on 9/11. It's not bad, though Keaton has a weird accent and I doubt it's all that factually accurate, but it's an interesting story.

    There was a shop on Greenwood that had a mirror like that, between the chemist and the chip shop.

    “Those Romans certainly knew how to make things. That sun dial is 2,000 years old and it is still working.” My favourite observation from Tony from an outside broadcast he was doing. Remember first hearing him and the others on the pirate radio stations when they started up in 1964. Like a whole new exciting world of music you actually wanted to hearafter years of the BBC at that time. Like him or not he is an ultimate professional.
