Doom Scroll - Andrew Tate

Probably more about how the internet controls peoples lives.

I find Tate equally loathsome and fascinating it’s crazy the amount of followers he’s sucked in.

Amazon Prime’s’The Street’, about the gentrification of Hoxton in east london, probably been mentioned already but my god what a heartbreaking watch.

[overdrive]

We were in Belfast at the weekend and did a taxi tour of the Shankhill and the Falls Road. The guide recommended that we watch "Once Upon A Time in Northern Ireland" on the BBC iPlayer. It is basically personal stories of people who were either involved directly in The Troubles or that lived through it - from both sides and those who weren't really on a side at all. We got back yesterday and watched the first two episodes (it is a five parter). It is excellent. Some brutally honest stories and reflections from the people involved.

We'll hopefully finish it tonight.

[Donegal Hibby]

In the area I’m from in Donegal we have some beautiful beaches , one of them in particular that I regularly go too had one of the worst tragic events in Irish history that happened in 1943 which is still talked about today.

There was a Documentary made on it that apparently won a few awards , I’m not saying it’s good . I will let you be the judge of that .

Hopefully it’s alright to show it as I thought it might interest some you . Anyhow this is ‘ BALLYMANUS ‘ ….. Apologies about the breaks in it .

Was about to post about this, the whole process is fascinating to me. I’m doing a degree in Criminology and Law love every program like this. It definitely seems we have the same taste in tv, I noticed you’ve posted recently about a few series that you’ve watched. For example the Greek college program. I would be grateful if you had any other suggestions that I might have missed, especially if they’ve been on in other countries.

Wondered if you’d watched Accused : innocent or Guilty. Fascinating insight into the American justice system I saw it on channel 5 but realised it was series 5 so went back to my fire stick to watch from the start.

Tsunami 2004: The day the wave hit, quite a moving watch.

[Dmas]

Chasing lightening was quite a good watch, about a former up and coming UFC fighter and the robbery of a Securitas depo, I used to work in a cash centre for a major bank so was interesting to see cctv footage and how protocols etc failed as can remember a lot of changes happening after this particular robbery

It’s a true story that I wasn’t aware of until I watched. Quite dark at times but I’d recommend a watch

Perfect, thanks. I have a morbid fascination for stuff like this.

For anyone who has an interest in wildlife, this is a must watch

Tonight's 24 Hours in Police Custody, there truly are some disturbed people going about, surely the perpetrator deserved to be in a secure unit, he appears to have some serious mental issues.

My missus called it within the first three minutes of the episode. It took me a bit longer to click but it became clear it was the ex. Totally agree though, he should be in a secure unit. Even constructing coherent sentences seemed to be beyond him.

Not really a documentary but watched a you tube video about an island called tromelin island, really interesting story about slaves stuck on an island for 15 years in the 1700s, worth a read and watch

Can't say I "enjoyed" it, as it was a hard watch. Set against all the current talk of "grooming gangs", it's worth a watch.

Can't see that there were any winners in what was such a horrible story.

American Nightmare on Netflix. About a couple who get broken into and the woman is kidnapped. The police/FBI assume the couple are faking it and trying to copy the book/film Gone Girl. Except they aren’t. Some mental things in it. By no means the most mental bit but for some reason the FBI thought it was perfectly fine for their agent in charge of the investigation to be in a relationship with the guy from the couple’s ex-fiancée

Agreed with the charity money, she claimed she "gave it to the Salvation Army", with no further investigation.

So many wrong uns in one show.

I’m fairly sure they’re new as I haven’t seen them, but I may be wrong. There’s 2 new trails added to Murder Trials on IPlayer. They previously covered 3 cold cases, on Margaret Fleming, Dr Brenda Page and another case of a murdered mother and child. Just posting in case anyone else has missed this.

Having now watched the first new episode I just thought it would be interesting to add that I recently served on a High Court jury and the prosecutor was the same KC, I felt he was very fair and put his points across extremely well. He gave fair dialogue on the defences case and was very professional. Now starting the second one and it’s the same prosecutor, and also the defence lawyer who was part of my case is involved for one of the accused, I also found him very professional and he did his best to defend someone who we ultimately found guilty on 6 separate less serious charges that are being decided on here.

Same judge too. This is so fascinating for me to see the same lawyers do their stuff.

Same judge too!

Murder Case and Murder Trial both on currently, very similar programmes, both worth a watch.

[overdrive]

Murder Case and Murder Trial both on currently, very similar programmes, both worth a watch.

If anyone fancies an interactive version of this, I’d recommend a show called Murder Trial Tonight. I’ve been to it twice (two different cases). They show some videos acting out some things leading up to the murder. Then the show is the trial and the audience is the jury. Based on real cases with names changed. After the “jury” gives their verdict, they then show a video acting out what actually happened and the real outcome of the trial.

Think it’s coming back to Edinburgh soon with yet a different case.

We got talking to one of the cast in the bar after the first one and he was saying with that one, every audience had voted the same way which was the “correct” verdict in that we correctly found the person not guilty but the actual outcome was guilty and the person spent years in jail incorrectly. Amazing, assuming no evidence was left out of the show, that the real jury voted that way.

He was on Celebrity Big Brother last year. Didn't come across well at all on that. Came across as manipulative, conniving, a bully and a malicious gossip. Pretty sure he was ripping into Simon Cowell for less than what was described above about himself as well. I think Jedward absolutely despise the guy. I was kind of hoping the producers would put them in to confront him.

Watched this last week. Crazy how bad the policing was throughout. Mad how many serial killers there have been in that one area.

Struggling to sleep with an injury just now so about to stick on the sky documentary "Schmeichel "

Big Peter was an idol of mine growing up. I generally played outfield at youth football but was always first to go in goals if our keeper got injured or suspended

Spent a bit of time between the sticks playing Sunday amateur when I got a bit older

Just finished the final episode of Ozark Law, quite an emotional watch for about the last 30 minutes.

The Rory Gallagher Story on BBC i-player.
Shy and shunned the limelight and commercialisation of his music, never releasing a single. At his peak he was rated No.1 guitarist by Melody Maker (above Clapton, Page, Beck etc.), but he is still under-rated and also under the radar to many, esp the younger generations. I was lucky to see him live a couple of times late 70s. Awesome.

A literal genius. My old boy rated him better than Hendrix when they were at isle of Wight

Groomed: A National Scandal on All4, not an easy or pleasant watch
