‘Cunk on Britain’ - BBC Two
‘Motherland ’- BBC Two
Starring Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard I also enjoy watching:
‘Breeders’ - Sky One"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I’m not a sports fan, but found this film engaging enough late night viewing. It isn’t very widely available but I can’t see why it deserves to be overlooked. Be aware – its only available on the iPlayer for the next 6 days.
“McFarland, USA
Kevin Costner stars as a failed American football coach who helps a team of underdogs.
Sports drama based on a true story about a team of underdogs who chase success with the help of a failed American football coach. Led by Jim White, a group of Latino students with an exceptional talent for long-distance running learn about discipline and a good work ethic as they face adversity together and bid to become cross country champions.”
