Same as mine apart from the clan thought it was beautiful and a lovely story. I thought he was annoying and was putting human emotions onto an animal it was nice to watch we'll shot, but probably would be a 8 minute section of an Attenborough

The Battered *******s of Baseball. On Netflix.
Beautiful story of Bing Russell's (Kurt's dad) independent baseball side, the Portland Mavericks. This could only have happened in the 1970's. Great fun.

Watched HBO documentary about Andre the Giant this morning. Superb.
Netflix’s Last Chance U is on to season 5. It follows the fortunes of a different college American football team and the characters there each season. It had its moments, solid enough, but there’s also a spin-off Last Chance U on Netflix which is focusing on a basketball team from a junior college in East LA and it’s by far the best of them. Really great storytelling. I don’t understand why there’s so many great documentaries about basketball (Hoop Dreams, The Last Dance, this one).
The Crime of the Century on Sky Documentaries, the story of big pharma in America literally getting away with murder in the pursuit of profits from the opioid epidemic sweeping through the place.
Just watched killing Escobar, conclusion: Whilst some of these guys were special forces, I can't help but think they were seduced by money to overestimate their own capabilities to a ludicrous extent. Listening to them talking themselves up just reminded me of some bar room blowhard.
The Pharmacist, Netflix
I really felt for the guy after watching this
Revealed The hunt for Bin Laden,very good,just out.
The nail bomber on Netflix was pretty good. I remember it happening at the time.
Evil Genius, Netlix, It's 3 or 4 episodes but it's a "who dun it", so if you watch the first one you will continue to find out.
Epstein's Shadow : Ghislaine Maxwell, 3 parter on Sky Documentaries. I doubt she'll live long enough to stand trial for her alleged crimes.
She'll have a lot of dirt on important people.
Be surprised if she makes it to trial.
Obviously Epstein and his cronies are/were bad enough, but Maxwell's involvement makes everything seem even more sinister to me. I've never been one for tin foil headwear, but it does seem that there are people in certain circles who believe that they're above the law and normal moral standards.
Hemingway on the iPlayer.
I watched the documentary on Netflix about Arran Hernandez. Such a sad story on so many levels.
Went to see Summer Of Soul at Vue last night. It was excellent. About the Harlem Culture Festival in 1969. A music festival celebrating black culture against the backdrop of racism and poverty rife at that time. Would have liked to have seen a bit more about the sociopolitical aspect as was really interesting when they delved into it. However it was the music that first attracted me to the film.
One for my time machine ticklist.

Has anyone been watching ‘High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule’ about the Peru Two (well mainly the Northern Irish one of the two)? I’m up to episode 4. There’s moments where I’m shocked at how incredibly stupid they were.
I’m watching The Crime of the Century on Now TV, it’s about the Opioid Crisis in America. It’s unbelievable what these companies and doctors got away with.
The Widower, 3 parter on Sky Crime.
