(And yes, Outnumbered was great!)Originally posted by vinteuil View Post... yes indeed - each episode a real gem. Don't miss the little bits of foolery after the end credits. And of course the credits with changes to the names...

Greyzone on Channel Four catch up. Excellent Scandi thriller, mixing terrorist threat and well-done characters, and up there with The Bridge et al. Birgitte Hjort Sørensen very watchable (she was tv journalist in Borgen.) I'm half way through a binge-watch of the ten 45 miniute episodes.
Apologies if duplicating up-thread posts.

Black Nurses: the Women Who Saved the NHS
On BBC4 last night, conveying the incredible story of those who came from the Caribbean on the Windrush, and subsquently, to work mainly as midwives and nurses in the NHS. Such programmes have usually tended to overlook the female portion of that intake, and it was heart-wrenching to see them describe in unexpurgated words the unforgiveable racism from white patients and discrimination in terms of recruitment and promotion given as thanks for their hard working devotion to duty and care. The programme concluded with a small crowd gathered to witness the unveiling of a statue outside one of the big London hospitals to the first black woman to come to this country, in 1855, to care for the sick. It seems almost impossible now to repay these wonderful and strong women the gratitude for what they did for us, and continue to do.
