TopCat Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Rillington Place on BBC is one of the best things I've seen in years. Very dark, and based on a true story, but excellent drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Bit sad I missed Rillington Place, I remember the '70's fillum version starring Dickie Attenborough, Judy Geeson & John Hurt was good if not pleasant viewing.

Thanx I'll see if I've got enough time but I'm reading the last two David Mitchell (the Cloud Atlas one) books, the new China Mieville one and will struggle to finish those before Neil Gaiman's is out in February. That's a lot of alternate realities to handle while still staying coherent in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Watched a couple of the Planet Earth II series, quite simply stunning. The clarity of the pictures, even on my laptop, is breath taking and the work that goes into these programmes is amazing. Attenborough is just the icing on the cake. When he "goes" there is going to be a massive void left for the BBC to fill. The BBC I Player is a superb piece of kit, I've downloaded quite a few programmes recently.

There isn't a person in the last 50 years who has delivered science (albeit mostly Biology) to the masses to such a huge degree than Sir David. His programmes have done so much to help educate pupils. Almost without exception pupils are fully engaged when I use his programmes in class. I unashamedly tell the pupils that he's my celebrity hero and that I'll be devastated when he pops his clogs. Luckily I've been in the presence of the great man, when he re-opened Glasgow Uni's Zoology museum after its refurbishment in the 80's. The last episode of Living planet II on cities was stunning. I've watched it 5 times and I'm still not tired of it. I've started re-watching The first series, where they started using HD cameras. It's got about 14 episodes and is well worth re-visiting.

I've been selective in the episodes I've downloaded. Watched "Mountains" and just finished watching "Deserts" and, coincidently, have downloaded "cities". Great way to pass an hour.

Some are better than others, but I guarantee that there will be parts of the programme that will astound you with what they reveal about certain animals and their behaviours. I've watched thousands of hours of natural history programmes and even I was left in awe with some of the stuff that I'd never seen before.
