I'm really enjoying 'The Gold' on the Beeb. Some great performances and a crackin' tale, well told.

Funnily enough, a pile of Frida Kahlo cushions were on display in the window of a niche curios shop in Upper Norwood when I passed by this morning, which looked impressive if expensive - no price tags. Some obviously wanting to profit by the exhibition, even though it is 7 miles away!

Iplayer now has more episodes of "edge of darkness", carching up on them, thrilling series.

... for those enjoying the Bruno Cremer Maigret series on Talking Pictures : Tuesday 14 March at 9pm : Maigret and the Judge [ la maison du juge ]

These Cremer Maigrets much the best tele versions I've seen...

I agree. I hope they go on to show the other series, whcih I didn't get on DVD.

Yes indeed.

They seem to have found them a regular Tuesday evening slot now: the programme guide via my HD recorder has allowed ‘series record’ for the coming weeks, which wasn’t the case with the first one broadcast.

Currently journeying through season 2, thanks to the launchpad provided by my 4K Firestick… and thence on to season 3!

I just watched the second programme of The Piano. Some astonshing performces - and a very moving outcome.

Wonderful first BBC2 programme on Frida Kahlo last night.
Some truly stunning photography and paintings.
Will look forward to the next two programmes.

iPlayer - The Blob - A Genius without a Brain.


Not an animal, nor a plant, nor fungus, the blob is one giant single cell whose amazing capacities are leading pioneer scientists to a very new world – that of brainless intelligence.

More commonly known as slime mould, this extraordinary one-billion-year-old organism challenges our understanding of what constitutes intelligent life. . .

"Shot on 3 continents, the film is a scientific investigation shaped like a thriller, following top international experts from Europe, Japan and the US, through their major discoveries, and offering a mind-blowing experience into the very roots of cognition."

Mind-blowing indeed!
