I couldn't give a fig about Friends but I like this picture yikes. I get a "we are going to kill you and eat you" vibe from all 3 of them.

New series of Lupin on Netflix! Recommended if you haven't seen it - stylish and fun.

Mostly, apart from bits of the football, I've been watching Spiral (Engrenages) from the beginning. I just got to the end of series three, and, for light relief, watched the recent Storyville documentary, Raising a School Shooter, on the iPlayer. It featured three parents of students who had killed at school: two of them I didn't recognize, but the third was Susan Klebold, mother of Dylan, one of those who attacked Columbine High. I think I must have written about Columbine, I know I researched it, saw the movie, read several books. I was impressed with the documentary as a whole, but mostly with her: what a remarkable woman to have processed something so devastating and horrible and come out the other side intact, more or less.

Watched the three episodes of Time in a row (Jimmy McGovern, staring the brilliant Stephen Graham and Sean Bean). Blew me away. Actually in tears after one scene.
Just one more episode of series 6 Inside No 9 to go.

Watching a show about a Scottish ex SAS juck sent to assassinate Pablo Escobar. Surreal.

Watched the first couple of season 4 of The Crown.
I don't have a problem if they take liberties with the truth - that's what these kinds of dramas do - but I thought Gillian Anderson's portrayal of Thatcher was borderline comic. I actually laughed out loud a couple of times.
Emma Corrin is very good as Diana. And whatsisface as Charles, too, actually.

She's a fine actress and all, it's just like this particular performance has been beamed in from another drama or something. The tone is just a little bit off. The scene where she and Denis arrive for dinner at Balmoral all dressed up and the royals are all sitting about in their Barbour jackets and boots and just greet them with 'oh' is absolutely fucking ridiculous.

First two episodes of this. Pretty good actually - Clarkson, for all his undoubted wankery, is entertaining on camera and Caleb, who is a young 21 year old lad, and had "never been further than Banbury" is extremely likeable as his farming mentor. The scene where Clarkson turns up at the abbatoir with 3 sheep he had to cull, fills out the paperwork and then goes back to say goodbye to them only to find out that they were already dead was actually quite moving. As an insight into the life of farmers in this country, it was very insightful. More please.

Watched two of Steve McQueen's Small Axe anthology dealing with post war Black British history: Mangrove and Red White and Blue. I picked these as they seemed to get the most acclaim and neither disappointed, powerful and thought provoking. Will get round to the others in due course.

I watched the first episode of that new McCartney thing with Rick Rubin. It's more like a podcast really - there's not much to look at (although you do get to see a handful of old Beatles photos you might not have seen before) but for all that it's pretty good - certainly recommended for Fabs fans.
They're standing around a mixing desk most of the time, or McCartney's in a chair with RR sitting at his feet like an acolyte, and amazingly there ARE a couple of revelations in among the usual banal Macca-isms (I'm pretty sure the origin of the name Sgt. Pepper had never been related before - I reckon he made it up! and there was a 'WOW' moment that seemed to hit them at the same time it hit the viewer, listening to the multitracks off 'While My Guitar...').
Oh, and I could name the 'Michelle' chord* and Paul couldn't! Nerner
*it's Fm7+9 I think
