Volcano with Dara O Briain , two part documentary on Chanel 5 . Fascinating and interesting stuff about the volcanoes of Italy

I was expecting it to be about perfume. 🤭

Watching Gone Girls, The Long Island Serial Killer. The American police’s attitude towards sex workers is disgraceful. Not an easy watch but very powerful.

Blink

Disney+

Tells the true life story of a Canadian couple who face up to the tragic diagnosis that 3 out of 4 of their children will lose their sight due to an inherited eye condition so make the decision to take them on a world tour to give them memories and tick off their bucket list before it is too late

A tough emotional watch at times

1hr 34 m with subtitles family speak English and French

The Tattooist's Son: Journey to Auschwitz on Sky History, a very moving watch.

The Final: Attack on Wembley on Netflix. It is about ticketless England fans forcing their way into Wembley at the Euro 2020 final. Absolute thugs. I remember one tiny bit of the incident being reported at the time but it didn't look like anything on the scale shown in the documentary. Did I just miss it at the time or was it not fully reported?

Think it is an old one on Prime so it’s probably been mentioned before but just enjoyed The Other Side of Edinburgh about Tony Hand who comes across as a thoroughly decent, modest and humble bloke.

Kinahan: The True Story of Ireland's Mafia

Four episodes. First three on the iplayer which I binged last week but the final episode not available until next week. Fascinating insight from the birth of the clan in the 80s right up to the present day. Much carnage along the way. I won’t give any spoilers but enjoyed it.

I watched it, had already saw a previous documentary so knew what to expect, all a bit weird though. The man who murdered his family on the iPlayer is also worth a watch

I have a real dichotomy with Dara O’Briain. I think he is very funny but I often have real difficulty listening and understanding him, because of the speed he talks at along with his Irish brogue. Just saying.

Definitely wasn't reported as much as it should have been.

It's on my list as I love these type of documentaries. I did see yesterday the Daily Record are claiming they are one of the groups involved in the recent Edinburgh-Glasgow gang war through their Scottish allies.

Watched this last week. Crazy how bad the policing was throughout. Mad how many serial killers there have been in that one area. The fact they said this one was "the worst for a generation" rather than the only/worst ever says it all. Found it wild just how apparently normal the killer can seem but has the darkest of secrets.

Barristers on All4, 3 part documentary about defence lawyers in London, interesting stuff.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Jack the Ripper: Written in Blood, part drama, part documentary, decent viewing on Sky.

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 watched that this morning, really good.

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
