    Usually, the number of days stated as available goes down as the days pass.

      So, the licence fee is still funding something worthwhile?

      In 2 parts, 59 minutes each, first broadcast on 28 Feb and available for 29 days. Now, is that 29 days from the date of first broadcast, or from today’s date? It’s about a groundbreaking clinical trial. Not for the faint hearted, raises more questions than answers but recommended nonetheless.

      Background here:

      29 days from 28 Feb, I would think.

        No - the number refers to how many days are left to watch it in the i-Player. (Tomorrow it'll say "available for 28 days".)

          There's only one thing to watch today right?
          On and on it goes.....
          Until we see
          The ayes and the noes...

          (still there's always the Champions League to lighten the mood later.... I can see some channel-hopping ahead...

            Sounds like a programme I should try to find on catch up.

                  Watching the Commons Live...?
                  Good grief that was close!

                  This is officially terrifying....

                  This is really challenging now.... rejection of No Deal Brexit and any extension? So no-deal brexit can still happen by default??!!
                  Is the extension voted on again tomorrow? I think so....
                  Now, with the 3rd division, there's a bigger majority for avoiding the no-deal Brexit. Good. But these amendments are really confusing....

                  Or is this now truly a crisis....

                    We desperately need a cunning plan - does anybody have contact details for Baldrick?

                      With the most prominent Brexiteers making millions from their games, they are not going to give up without a fight. I love the way they sing and sing about how permitting the populace to think and vote again would be an assault on democracy, yet for them to vote three times in the same heavily defeated 'deal' is the height of democracy.

                        ....indeed....that 3rd attempt, while obstructing any attempts to reach a better/different deal by reaching out to cross party ideas....would be just infuriating....

                        ....compelling viewing....as drip drip little bits of new info appear to the jigsaw....

                            Channel 4's new series 'Traitors'

                            Spy thriller in 6 episodes set in 1945 London, starring Emma Appleton, Keeley Hawes and Luke Treadaway.

                            Took me a couple of episodes to be drawn in but now I find it compulsive. Superb!

                                Part 4 of "Cheat", ITV's Drama of the Week, comes on tonight. Last night's episode left me with a feeling I'm increasingly getting from TV dramas these days: one of couldn't really give a damn what happens to any of the characters, in what is turning out to be a pretty dismal portrayal of supposedly intelligent but self-destructive human beings. Could this be a right-wing plot?

                                I shall only be watching tonight because it is the final episode.
