I created a list for people at work which might be useful for you: https://www.notion.so/markfresh/0232e1bcfe8041c4bbd65e77398c2cfc?v=ea658129a51d4f7893795ddbbbd315d3


I've just finished Call My Agent which was tres bien.

Currently watching the new series of Marcella aka Anna Friel, troubled again.

I really enjoyed Ted Lasso on Apple TV (I got a free trial). It's about an American football coach who's put in charge of a premier league football team and has to win everyone around. It shouldn't work but it does - sort of a heartwarming family comedy, but with lots of swearing.

Rebecka Martinsson on 4 and I like Great Pottery Throw Down although perhaps not hugh brow enough for this thread :) Watched both series of All the Sins (also on 4)recently but not sure whether I enjoyed them. Watched first one and a half episodes of The Serpent but couldn't get into it.


Just seen the Laurel and Hardy film is on BBC, didn't see it on release so may give that ago.

I loved A Discovery of Witches. It was, maybe still is, on Sky 1 and also on the catch up Sky channel. It's like a more adult-oriented Buffy, I'd say, with undertones of social justice (but not unsubtle, thankfully) and good twists.

On BBC4 via iPlayer try The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.

Also, Valhalla Murders on iPlayer was good.

Dalgleish on Channel 5 - kind of went under the radar of the media I think. Three two-parters that have finished now but you can probably catch up. Set in the early seventies and starring Bertie Carvell with great sideburns and an E-Type. Not what I was expecting of Channel 5 at all really.

I was late to BBC4's Paris Police 1900 series in their regular Sat night foreign series slot, so have been playing catch-up on iPlayer, imagine the offspring of Spiral and Peaky Blinders.


They're currently showing Stieg Larsson's Millennium series (Girl with the dragon tattoo etc), also worth watching...

    • Another stinker, thank goodness for the international break. Week 3 points...   Week 3 table...  
    • Hospices are coming under increasing pressure at the moment. Not only have their costs been forced up by the increase in employers NI and possibly the minimum wage for some workers, but the recent assisted dying legislation, which forces doctors faced with patients likely to die to offer suicide as a way out means that numbers of hospice doctors will withdraw as they don't ethically hold with the legislation. Additionally we might anticipate a reduction in research on end-of-life care and pain alleviation where the government is supporting an alternative (and one far cheaper than proper end-of-life care). This all brings pressure on the hospice movement as the assisted dying philosophy runs counter to it. It is hardly surprising then that they are looking to gain as much benefit as they can from higher prices.
