My mind has been completely blown by the fact I didn't realise they changed Tamla Kari for the teacher off Uncle in the second series of Cuckoo. I think swapping Cuckoo out distracted me, but now I'm impressed I even manage to remember to breathe.

1000 Heartbeats is my new favourite rubbish daytime television show. It's a bit like The Cube but more 'brains' whilst you're linked to a heart beat monitor, the game ends once you've had a thousand heartbeats. Also Vernon Kay hosts it although nobody ever laughs at his jokes so they come across as bizarre statements. There's also a string quartet that accompany the whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQB_jbp9rRY

If they don't have people leaping out and going "argh" at the contestants then they've missed a trick. Actually, that goes for all gameshows.

I keep advocating Storyville itt because every one is worth seeing. The latest, about rape in India, is insane. Watching will definitely make you angry, unless you're rapey, in which case you'll find yourself nodding a lot.

Is it India's Daughter? e: yep! In the news a lot recently, first time Storyville's got a doc before the cinema. That whole... imprint? is the best thing on BBC4.

At the attitudes of the unrepentant rapists, at their lawyers, who were equally dismissive of women, at the kind of culture that produces angry, selfish, wicked men like that and then looks the other way or openly condones their actions while blaming the victims. Jyotis' parents were wonderful though. Her father seemed such a decent, loving man, who celebrated his daughter and all she was about to achieve. It was a brilliant, horrifying documentary, Storyville is amazing.

Mr. Squishy posted:Is it India's Daughter? If anyone interested can track it down, the one they done about James Randi was amazing, and deserves to be watched. As does the fact that BBC4 have re-aired Pain, Pus and Poison, which is a great 3-part series by Michael Mosley about the advent of modern medicine. I love Mosley's presenting of it, because he's so obviously enthusiastic. He even takes a dose of Sodium Pentothal to demonstrate it's effects. He also gives tonnes of praise to Friedrich Sertürner who is someone who should be considered even more revolutionary than Fleming, yet 99% of people have never heard of him.

Another Storyville that was on a month or so ago that was amazing was The Arabian Motorcycle Adventures, about an American guy with OCD who decided to travel around the middle east by bike to go on an adventure, then wound up fighting in the Libyan civil war with the rebels. It was such a ridiculous story. I don't think it's on iplayer any more but if it comes back, I'd recommend watching it.

So for those of you watching Fortitude, that was certainly one of the more hosed up things I've ever seen on TV. This show started pretty solidly and has spiraled out a bit in the last couple episodes, I like the moments they actually spend building up the town itself. Stanley Tucci is pretty great though and his interactions with everyone are pretty good. This show feels a lot like it's echoing The Killing(the American one) except that they're actually resolving things and they have more compelling characters.

Poldark , then. So far it's basically watch Aiden Turner brood in candlelight, watch Aiden Turner brood on a cliffside, watch Aiden Turner brood some more on horseback. Since he is the handsomest man alive, I'm not complaining.

I was having a conversation with my mate the other morning about travelling, specifically 'voluntourism', so I enjoyed seeing quite an extreme version of this. Like a cross between Forrest Gump and Full Metal Jacket.

They laid out the groundwork and reasoning behind it episodes ago. Bacteria survive, frozen in the tundra. There are parasites and illnesses that can co-opt the behaviour of a host to propagate themselves. Which is what this infection is doing. It's laying its eggs, as it were, in warm nests. The programme has been fairly clearly building toward this, with absolute confirmation last week.

To be honest, I think comparing it to King is a disservice to the programme.

The BBC have cancelled the showing of something they sell to a lot of foreign markets, which they are normally loathe to do, so it's unusual.
