BBC1 - Imagine……..Hockney, the Queen and the Royal Peculiar.
…...but sadly not on I-Player yet : Probably too life enhancing.
The Queen’s Window, a new stained-glass window by David Hockney celebrating the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, was dedicated at a service this morning.
(Surely an equal to Chagall...…...Made at Barley Studio, York)

ADDED NOTE Apologies to LMcD - the name of the programme was indeed quoted (as pointed out below) - as ever in my case, too much haste, less speed.Last edited by Cockney Sparrow; 10-10-18, 08:27.

I'm hopeful.
Tell you what I enjoyed lately was Saturday evening's BBC4 Aussie drama 'Mystery Road'. Despite some dodgy dialogue in there, the exploration of the dark side of Australian society and the terrific landscapes, and two fine lead performances made for three weeks of enjoyment and intrigue. Bit too much use of drones, but that seems to be an unfortunate feature of recent TV - they need to be a bit more grounded, in my opinion.
I misunderstood your use of "drones", jc - I was going to say "but that's what didgeridoos do![FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

johhcorrigan: agreed about John Hurt, saw that episode (was it a Christmas all-family watch? I seem to remember so) and yearned for him to take over full time"...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 thought Jodie Whittaker was great on Sunday.

Moffatt has done wonderful things for Doctor Who - the Weeping Angels and "Are you my mummy?" are amongst the best things in the fifty-five-year history of the programme - but I'm rather glad he's handed over the reins: it seemed to me as if it wasn't until he knew he was relinquishing Admin/Management duties that he regained his form.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]
