Yorkshire Cop: Police, Racism and Me on Channel 4 - Documentary about Bill Thomas, the first Black male police officer in South Yorkshire, What an amazing individual.

I’m enjoying the old man just now on Disney+ think it’s an FX show, it’s slow but it has a decent story and the acting is very good as well.

I also started the Watcher on Netflix the other night with the mrs and il see it through but I’m really starting to hate the Netflix original things they all seem to start well and just descend into absolute muck, had high hopes on this one with being based on true events and a half decent cast but Jesus

Watched the 1st part of the worlds end murders on the BBC IPlayer last night. Looking back at the 1970’s you forgot how basic policing was, loads of cards with details on them, rather than all on the PC now-days. How hard it was back then to catch a killer, no DNA/CCTV etc
2 lovely girls killed for little or no reason

Seeing Edinburgh in the 1970’s was interesting, featured throughput the program. Will watch part 2 tonight

I watched this too . Edinburgh certainly was Auld Reekie back then, everything looked dark and grey .

Theres only one word to describe Angus Sinclair and that's EVIL . We'll never know just how many crimes he committed.

[overdrive]

We started watching the Son documentary on Prime. We’ve not finished it but his dad comes across as an abusive welt who probably thinks his sons (no pun intended) made it in football because of the beatings he inflicted upon them rather than in spite of them.

[Onceinawhile]

Started watching, 'George Carlin's American Dream', two part documentary about George Carlin. (Available on Sky Documentaries and NOW TV. Interesting and in depth delve into the American comedian's life and work. Well worth a watch.

Really enjoyed this when I watched it, the guy was a genius.

I expect this is on the wrong thread mind you.

Watched it last week, typical Netflix dragging it out to 7 episodes when 4 is plenty, based on true events until you read about the true events and the Watcher is mostly nonsense.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Watched Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song last night. It was excellent, some great unseen footage a cast straight out of Who's Who and of course brilliant music throughout. I am a Cohen fan, I have been since I was born, his music was the soundtrack to my youth so my view on this film maybe slightly biased but it is worth a watch no matter. Available on Amazon at the moment.

I've been working my way through this and loving it. Didn't know whether to mention it on the TV thread, here or on the Ukraine thread. Really interesting in the way it provides some historical context for what we've arrived at in Ukraine today.

The raw footage without commentary is brilliant, it's really well done.

It's made me feel pretty old. I actually visited Russia in 1993 and watching the 1992-1994 episode, it looked a lot longer ago than it feels inside.

There's obviously been a fair bit of water passed under the bridge for Russia between now and then.

The Ronaldo doc is fascinating.

I’m not even close to calling myself educated on the subject I watched it as I found the guy quite interesting, I don’t think it’s so wrong to question things though aye it may be absolute nonsense but if you don’t question things seen as normal we’d all be thinking we’d fall off the planet sailing beyond the horizon still, I knew it was a mistake having Joe Rogan in it, just from his appearance makes anything he’s saying lose substance with people, I don’t particularly mind Joe Rogan either I get why people don’t like him but some stuff he puts out is a decent listen if you’re taking what he’s telling you as gospel u need your head read but it’s just a guy sitting chatting with someone else

Rogan is entertaining and I enjoy listening about subjects he knows about ie mma. The problem is he has no filter who he has on. He says its free speech but when your having vaccine deniers, your culpable to deaths. When he regularly has Alex Jones on your championing an idiot who lies about kids who were murdered.

On the programme. It was Scientists and rigorous study that proved we wouldn't fall of the horizon. There are thousands of Scientists looking to expand our knowledge of history, they aren't covering anything up.

It was good to watch it again last night. You got a real sense of the energy Dr Feelgood brought to the stage and the total bleakness of Canvey Island :greengrin

I happened to be channel surfing last night and saw and episode of "Forensics: Catching The Killer" was on Sky Crime which sounded like the sort of thing I'd watch to kill an hour, so I put it on expecting it to be one of these American true crime things. Turned out it was about the murder of Elaine Collie in Muirhouse in 1999. I vaguely remember it from the time (I was a teenager) but I found it quite interesting, particularly given the local perspective.

The episode is called The Murder in The Tower Block (for some reason - I'd hardly call a 4 story block a tower block) if anyone wants to watch. Think it might be repeated tonight.

Yeah I like Wilson too, to be honest I had not heard of any of those missing on his shows, particularly the two young lads who vanished (the milk carton kids) a strange case with a lot pointing to that guy who raped and killed others but surprisingly given his previous and his locality he was never charged with the disappearance of those lads due to lack of evidence

He is a pap for the Sun so no surprise there. Interesting that he and Bronson concocted the plan to hit the Sun front page with the revelation ‘Bronson wants a baby’ probably helped sell an extra few hundred thousands of the rag

After that part of me even doubted he was Bronsons Son, regardless of the DNA certificate. I also noted that Bronsons other Son was never mentioned, probably didnt want anything to do with him

Just watched all 3 episodes of 'Arnold' on Netflix, about, and mostly narrated by, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Splits it into his life as an athlete, movie star and politician. Really enjoyed it and does touch on his unacceptable behaviour towards women, which he acknowledges. Escaped a tough background to become the best in the world of bodybuilding, followed by all his other achievements. Very keen to stress all the help he received in the way, and now seems quite lonely, as a number of his friends have died and his wife divorced him after he admitted an affair with a member of their staff, who had his child.

Really enjoyed it and does touch on his unacceptable behaviour towards women, which he acknowledges. Escaped a tough background to become the best in the world of bodybuilding, followed by all his other achievements. Very keen to stress all the help he received in the way, and now seems quite lonely, as a number of his friends have died and his wife divorced him after he admitted an affair with a member of their staff, who had his child.

Yeah I’d have been happy with more bodybuilding and movies to be honest although Ep3 was still good I had less interest in that part, definitely a fascinating guy, managed to achieve almost everything he set his mind too, shows that hard work and dedication really can make a difference, fair amount of luck as well mind you

The Alpinist. About a young climber called Marc Andre Leclerc who climbs huge mountains on all terrain (ice, snow, rock) solo, without ropes.

Really quite a moving documentary. It was on Netflix until last week but you can still purchase it on Prime for £5.

Highly recommend and it's one that's stuck with me for days now.

Just finished watching Jury: The Murder Trial, found it really fascinating. It’s obvious how certain personalities can influence others. I felt the blue jury were democratic and listened to each other’s opinions a lot more. I felt the red jury were dominated by a couple of very strong opinionated people who overpowered others in to their way of thinking. I was interested to see the decision the real life jury came to. My gut feeling was murder but given the evidence shown, I don’t know if I could have come to that decision, I do feel that the victims voice wasn’t given much consideration.

You are right though, his family and friend were ignorant and selfish *******s 😡

Ive actually sat on two jurys in that court, as fascinating as they were, they were pretty much nailed on verdicts, I wouldnt have been too keen on that one though. At my first trial I had a great group who dissected every dot, on my second there were a few dickheads who the minute they stepped into the deliberating room had the accused guilty as the food was **** and they were in prison as they couldnt get out for a fag 🤣

I thought that was excellent and totally agree about the dominating personalities of a couple of jurors being the most significant aspect in the decision making process. It really did highlight the flaw in the process though, and I guess you have to hope that if you find yourself in a situation where a jury is judging you, that they relate to you enough.


The Push was fascinating as well, tragic situation and it was good that the victim’s family saw justice done.

We just started The Octopus Murders on Netflix, another gripping story that highlights the lengths people will go to for money and power.


The Ripper on Netflix was really good as well, about the Yorkshire Ripper. The Police, for all they were limited by technology etc at the time,, handled the case so badly, a basic starting point of misogyny from them stopped them catching the killer sooner and undoubtedly cost lives.

It is a bout an odd-ball guy in Inverness who is a local 'hero', raising lots for charity by doing challenging swims, is commended by the police for keeping the community safe, etc. There's a dark side to him, though and he does a runner just as he's about to be brought to justice and ends up faking his apparent death.

I'm less sold on the wheelchair and oxygen not being required - I'm assuming he didn't fake the covid, so he might well need those as a result - I just don't know. The thing that does make me suspicious about the breathing difficulties is that it doesn't seem to stop him being able to get riled in a press situation. For example, the clip in the first episode where he is on some (I assume) American news show and he goes a bit OTT with a rant and tries to get out of the wheelchair.
