Secrets of the London Underground continues to be a really interesting programme.

Thanks for this. I find stuff about Underground systems fascinating. Looked it up after reading this earlier and have binge watched it today.

One thing though, I find the woman’s voice really annoying for some reason.

I enjoy that too. Ghost stations and all that.

Aye and Siddy (voice seems fine to me)! 🙂

Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets on Amazon Prime, focusing on a Christian Fundamentalist Family who followed the teachings of the IBLP and the various scandals that surrounded them, seems more like a cult for training masochistic child groomers, not an easy watch.

Islands on Sky Nature has been tremendous so far. 👏

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

London Bridge: Facing Terror on Channel 4, quite a moving and thought provoking watch.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

London Bridge: Facing Terror on Channel 4, quite a moving and thought provoking watch.

Found it really interesting, I had read about the victims and the perpetrator, but I had no idea about the story behind two of the men who helped stop the attacker.

I’m watching Murder Trial on IPlayer. It’s really interesting, I knew the first case covered but I hadn’t heard of the second one.

I've watched both and the above description is the same as my prior knowledge of the cases, I was quite surprised at the verdict in the 2nd case.

Just watched Rob Burrow Living with MND on BBC I player, utterly heartbreaking 🥲

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I've only watched the first half hour of James Bulger: The Trial (on Channel 5), I'm leaving the rest for tomorrow, it's a tough watch.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The Preppy Murder: Death in Central Park on C&I.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The Kidnap of Angel Lynn on All4, heart wrenching stuff. 😢

[Sloop67]

Pantani On Sky Documentaries , the "interesting " story about the rise and fall of Italian Cyclist Marco Pantani

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Endurance: Race to the Pole on Channel 5, I really enjoy Ben Fogle's programmes.

Taking Down an OCG. Just watched the three part BBC documentary about an organised crime group. Really good insight on how the police start to investigate these gangs and how one lead can be the catalyst to bring the whole group down. Don’t want to say too much but it’s also a harrowing insight into the lives of the people who stand up to these criminals, their bravery is amazing to me, I don’t think I could do what they did.

I found myself getting more and more annoyed with each passing episode and then surprisingly emotional at the conclusion.

I've stumbled upon a YouTube channel recently called OCG TV. Quite interesting as a lot of their videos are about Scottish based OCGs. The best bit is listening to them trying to pronounce Scottish places. Took me ages to realise they meant Wishaw when they were saying "wiss-haw"

Liz Bonnin's Wild Caribbean , Sunday nights on BBC2 or the iPlayer The first 3 episodes have really good , one more episode to go next week

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Manifesto of a serial killer on C&I, unbelievable how some peoples minds work. 😳

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Whale with Steve Backshall on Sky Nature is tremendous viewing.

[Jakhog1]

Telemarketers, a hbo documentary that I found on my iptv is about two former colleagues who worked at a dodgy call centre raising money for charities, the place was like the wild west.

Bad Host: Hunting the Couch surfing Predator on Sky Docs.

[EH6 Hibby]

Just watched the Sinèad O’Connor documentary on Now TV. I was probably a bit young to understand her politics, and like most people I thought her of a kind of joke or someone just looking for controversy or looking for attention. In her own words she doesn’t across that way at all. It’s horrible how the press have so much influence on people’s opinions, I’ve been guilty of it so many times, forming an opinion based on what I’ve read in the media.

Anyone eose unconvinced by this trend of people making “documentaries” about themselves? Tge Beckhams and now King Buggerlugs.

Just puff pieces, really. Not journalism.

The John Lennon doc on Apple is a decent watch.

[Jakhog1]

American Nightmare on Netflix, wow, what I will say is to go into this blind without reading up or watching any trailers, don't even want to give away to much here but the story is incredible.

Watched it in one go, never heard of it before and wow crazy stuff, hard to actually discuss anything about it without giving things away well worth a watch though

Another vote from me. Fact is very much stranger than fiction when it comes to these American crime docs.
