I think Konstantin just sends in The Cleaners...

With regard to the actual deaths at Chernobyl, I know some of the scientists working for the Chernobyl Tissue Bank. The public perception of deaths from radiation exposure are vastly overestimated.

By 2014, 25 years after the incident, there had been 28 deaths from Acute Radiation Sickness and just 15 from thyroid cancer. There was an increase in thyroid cancer risk, especially amongst children exposed at the time of the incident, but it is treatable, and current estimates are that the death rate for thyroid cancer as a result of exposure will be about 1%. There is no scientific evidence of any long term effects on fertility or infant mortality and no evidence yet of any heritable effects.

In the titles at the end of Chernobyl, it said that the actual death toll was anywhere between 4,000 and 93,000, and that the official Soviet figure was 31.

... I thought Yrs & Yrs pretentious self-indulgent tosh.


Whereas Rockets was pretentious self-indulgent tosh of a different kind.

I couldn't agree more!
Series 3 of 'The Handmaid's Tale', on the other hand, has got off to a very impressive start (IMVHO), and 'The Virtues' built up to a truly powerful climax.
Then there's 'The Looming Tower', which has been riveting from the very start.

Graal Theatre is in two movements, around 30' overall, so the work itself will take up about half the broadcast.

'Berlin Station' - Now that's more up my street.

Und meine strasse! Only one to go.
I know you’ve visited the city and it’s what I particularly like about the series, lots of location shots.
Plenty of German tv actors who’ve also been in other programmes - I noticed ‘Inspector Borowski’ turned up as Kroll in the most recent episode (new series of the Inspector on Walter Presents Stanfordian, it’s completely different in style to series 1, quite barmy, try episode 4 which is nuts!).

In the titles at the end of Chernobyl, it said that the actual death toll was anywhere between 4,000 and 93,000, and that the official Soviet figure was 31.

The figures I quoted come from an UNSCEAR (United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation) report on the health effects of radiation from Chernobyl, so are likely to be more accurate and less sensationalist than speculative figures provided by the scriptwriters of a dramatized TV series. You can read the report here:

Twelve years running I've been to Berlin! I don't know what is up with me but can't take my eyes off Michelle Forbes (Valerie Edwards).

Phew! - thanks jayne - I would have overlooked this had you not drawn it to our attention. Huge admirer of Ms Saariaho and her music, though I believe (though I could be mistaking her for someone else) she has made a "return to tonality" in more recent years and her music sounds more like Debussy now than... early Ligeti?
