Tonight's Panorama (BBC1 8pm) replaces the Can Trump End the War in Ukraine? billed in RT with one in which Southport families speak out in the wake of August's fascist-organised riots and disinformation, deliberate or otherwise, in both the social and mainstream media:
I shall be postponing tonight's significant-looking Israel and the Palestinians: the Road to 7 October (1/3) at 9pm over on BBC2 for the iplayer in preference for the final of four programmes over on CH4, Go Back to Where You Came From, in which two groups equally divided from the off on matters of immigration and refugees are physically taken on dangerous routes ued by migrants seeking safety and futures in Britain and Europe, which has proved most revealing.Comment

One of my pals recommended 'Gaucho Gaucho' to me which played on the 'Storyville' string last week on BBC4. It's beautiful black-and-white celebration of a way of life under threat from the modern world. The film follows men, women and children and their horses and cattle in amazing landscapes - beautiful wee film. (75 minutes).

I was very impressed with Hugh Fraser (who later became Poirot's sidekick) in 'Cloud Howe', the second part of the 1980s Lewis Gibbon trilogy from BBC Scotland currently airing on BBC4. The supporting cast includes Celia Imrie.Comment

Talking Pictures TV is repeating Granada TV's ear;y 1970s saga A Family At War, which I sometimes think is the best TV drama I've ever seen . Not only is it well-acted and well-filmed (as many are even today) but also (Unlike them) it has a superb script.Comment

"...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 thoroughly enjoyed 'Towards Zero', the latest Agatha Christie adaptation on the Beeb. Great to see Angelica Huston and Clarke Peters in there. I thought that the guy who played Inspector Leach, Matthew Rhys, was particularly good, but it was a fine series. Call me old-fashioned but I do enjoy an Agatha Christie, partly, I think, because I know there's going to be some kind of resolution and I don't have to turn up for another season.Comment

I can’t recommend the Arena on the ballet dancer Stephen McCrea’s long road to recovery and peak performance after snapping an Achilles’ tendon highly enough. One of the best Arts docs in a very long timeComment

.... yes, loved it here too : and I agree that Matthew Rhys was particularly excellent : he has a lovely speaking voice, too. Ella Lily Hyland, who played the first Mrs Strange (the blonde) was also a bit of a find.Originally posted by johncorrigan View Post
I was very tickled to see Neston Park being used for the exteriors of their mansion : it's a mile and a half from where I grew up, and I cycled by it every Saturday on my way to and from my piano lessons. By the magic of cinematography it was 'moved' from the middle of nowhere in north Wiltshire to a Cornish cliff...
