I wasn't even aware of it. Will they still be on the iPlayer because I'll be honest that's the only way I access them anyway?

No original content that's a blow.

Looks like Charlie Brooker's Screenwipes started there. It means the new Charlie Brooker won't be given that opportunity. Assume it means that they won't be producing any music documentaries themselves I know most of them are not original anyway but some are. 

I'll always see anything aimed at limiting the remit of the BBC as sad because it means the Tories are winning.

Finished behind her eyes last night. Really enjoyed it a complete story but you have to see it through to the end. Can't imagine its for everyone though

Haven't watched that, but Storyville (which iPlayer counts that as an episode of) tends to throw up some really good documentaries 

Yep I found myself watching Storyville- Collective this week- it’s been nominated for an Oscar and is totally fascinating and scary- about investigative journalism into the Collectiv club fire in Romania and the corruption in the health system. Highly recommend it - ( will be on iplayer now) makes you appreciate the NHS even more.

Watched ‘The Drowning’... three great episode and a finale that dropped the ball with some ludicrous script decisions.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Tina Turner documentary is fucking great.

Maybe not original stuff, but where am I gonna get my fix of brilliant foreign crime drama (The Bridge, Spiral, etc)?

Fucking Tories with their war on the BBC!!!!

I just got to the one where Charlie and Dee nick some speakers, find some coke in them, sell it for 300 dollars, but the coke belongs to the mob who want 25,000 dollars, so they go to a country club to sell pills, then Frank gets his son to start prostituting himself with old women…

…
They make loads of money but Charlie and Dee get a load of coke because they’re addicted and snort it all, so they get that priest they made homeless addicted too so he’ll sell it to the homeless for them, Frank starts smacking Dennis about, then Dennis and Mac insult the mob boss’s wife, but Dennis gets the money by selling Frank’s mug. Plus there are some perverted jockeys.

Good episode/s.

I must have missed Top Of The Pops that week.

This new series of Line of Duty started off a bit slower than the usual ‘character you think is gonna be important gets their head blown off at the end of the first episode’ from previous series, but this new episode was great and really started to tie up a bunch of loose ends. I’ve no idea if this is the last series or not - I didn’t think so but my mate seems convinced it is - but it’s doing a great job at having me constantly second guessing every character.

I believe the talk at the end of the last series was there would be 2 more series, so possibly this is the penultimate. I'm sure it would have been mentioned if this was the final season.

Am I the only person who thinks she looks like Phil Neville?

Started Your Honour last night great so far

[SwedgeAntilles]

Finished S2 of Westworld last night, enjoyed it actually, when I got my head around what they hell was going on. Onwards to S3, wish me luck.

[priest17]

Watched all of Episodes over the weekend, I'd seen season 1 when it first came out and just not watched the rest of it but its great fun. Ended probably the right time (could maybe of managed a season less) but the ending was satisfying.

Blasted through all of Wellington Paranormal yesterday and it was hilarious and lovely and gross at points, been waiting for to to come to the UK for ages (now on Sky and NOWTV). A must watch if you're into Flight Of The Conchords or What We Do In The Shadows. Hunt For The Wilderpeople vibes as well.

Watched all of Schitt's Creek and a lot of people have said it gets better as it goes along but I definitely preferred them as bastards nearer the start.

I'm jealous of you. I'd give anything to watch Season 4 again without knowing what was coming. Stunning, stunning television. Enjoy it, you may find it a little slow at points but it really pays off.

Just finished it at the weekend - really enjoyed it.  Bryan Cranston is really good as always.

Impossible predicament he finds himself in.  It obviously doesn't compare, but there are some parallels with Breaking Bad in the way it illustrates the lengths you might go to when faced with a particular situation.
