As an Aussie, I see footage like this and compare it to the so called “rock n roll bad boys” acts like Oasis claimed to be. It really shows what big fannies they were when you put the effortless cool and danger of Bon Scott on show.

Binged it last night. Very, very good, utterly bleak. Would like to discuss the very final scene, but aware of spoilers. I wonder if it was that character or was it someone else? Thought they might be giving a sliver of hope for him, or was the point there is no hope and the cycle of violence will just continue… Reminded me of the end of The Wire a bit

Think there is a few suspects from over the years, I really liked the ending.

Got 3 left, trying to ration myself. It is very good.

Very late to the party but we’re enjoying Schitts Creek a lot

We don’t get Adam Curtis in the states so I was glad to see so much of his work is on Youtube. Started Russia 1985–1999: TraumaZone (for you iPlayer folks) last night. Incredible footage, taken from recently digitized BBC camera crew b-roll - thousands of hours of tape about the fall of communism, rise and then eventual fall of democracy. Hypnotic, educational, touching, haunting about human experience during this incredible period of time. 7 hours of doc, but well worth it.

you must check out Can’t Get You Out Of My Head then (and more of his work), all free to watch without the cleared music bits (as is on YT) over here:

Most recent series of Rise of the Nazis on iPlayer, about Nuremburg and the aftermath, powerful and shocking, particularly the archive stuff.

You can’t keep the damp flannel off the telly, but I have to say it’s quite pleasurable watching him get a pasting.
Watching this too, it’s been very good. The way iPlayer has it in sections of 3 threw me a bit as I jumped to the last bit after the first, but figured out what I’d done and am back in the right order and on track. User error…

The Alien abduction/invasion film No One Will Save You is pretty entertaining!
The Bureau for the second time.
Saw Jolyon recommend it during the first lockdown and I can safely say its some of the best (if not THE best) TV I’ve ever seen.

Might check this out. If it’s half as good as the original we’re in for a treat.

Incredible TV.
One of the best ever.
I just rewatched The Wire and got so much more out of it than I thought I would. Might have to go again on The Bureau.
