Due to serious hangovers we’ve binged the hell out of Seinfeld’s comedians in cars getting coffee today. Lots of them very funny, others surprisingly dull.
Just finished season 4 of Black Mirror. It started brilliantly with USS Callister but was perhaps a little uneven after that. The final ep was pure Tales From The Crypt.
Filmed over three nights at the Royal Institution, Professor Sophie Scott examines one the fundamentals of human and animal life: the unstoppable urge to communicate.
I always watch the Chrismas lectures and, despite being primarily aimed at children, I always learn a lot. This years ain't the best if I'm honest, I prefer the physicsy ones, but still pretty interesting.
I have watched a couple of episodes of Seth Macfarlane's new series The Orville. No Keith Harris references. It’s a Star Trek TNG style show but with more of a comedy aspect albeit the cast are largely playing it straight. I’m quite enjoying it as the SF send up aspect seems to work well.
I got as far as episode one season one (Babe 3 a pig in parliament..... the true story of how David Cameron got to power) and i pretty much left it their it was far to disturbing. I think they should of saved the bestiality till at least episode 4 as i had no compulsion to watch episode 2 after that as a opener.
I'd forgotten that was the opening episode, but there were only 3 episodes in the first two series.
After the White Christmas special, it moved to Netflix and had 6 episodes per series/season.
It doesn't get much happier after that, so I guess it's "start as you mean to go on"!

I loved this episode and generally I've found most of this series pretty weak. I think it just benefitted having a narrator the whole way through. Just made it better on so many levels.
Not nearly as boring as it sounds, honest guvnor. Rachel Riley presents it, topless, whilst riding a white stallion through a field of opium poppies.
Okay, not really. It is good though. It's a 2 part show presented by mathematician Marcus du Sautoy who explores the mathematics of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, Greece and China. He examines the work of geniuses like Plato, Euclid, Archimedes and Pythagoras, and travels to India to discover how the number zero was invented and how Indian mathematicians created the concepts of infinity and negative numbers.
