What TV show did you last watch?

Hibakusha Stories - Long Journey For Peace
The story of Sunao Tsuboi, survivor of the Hiroshima bomb, who met Barack Obama on his visit there in May 2016.

Another Story - President Obama in Hiroshima
The other side of the story, with a speechwriter, a write-in campaign, another hibakusha campaigner who discovered that 12 American POWs were killed in the same attack, and so on. Made 6 years after the above, by which time Tsuboi was dead.

9.2 A hot day on Liverpool Docks makes for a complicated idea of landscape, but the resulting paintings are pretty good.

LAotY 2024
9.3 To Hever Castle for a look at a loggia (?) by a lake, where a very wet morning does at least improve as the day goes on. One retread contestant (from back in 2016), but they don't even make the shortlist this time.

The Last of Us Ep 7 "Convergence" Season 2 Finale.

The Eighties
1/8 Raised on Television - Part One
How American telly developed through shows like St Elsewhere, Miami Vice, Family Ties, Moonlighting and so on.
2/8 Raised on Television - Part Two
More of the same, with CNN, Saturday Night Live, The Golden Girls, Married With Children, the Simpsons, etc

Talking Movies: Cannes Film Festival special
Weirdly, Tom Brook didn't spend much time on events, let alone mention the big Iranian win. He did do some archive on his first experience of it being in 2002, some comedy on how difficult it can be even if you have an access pass, and then repeat of bits from the French cinema special they did last year.

Doctor Who Ep 7 “Wish World” Season 2/15

Alison Hammond's Big Weekend - Jimmy Carr
She drives him to a gig in Kendal, managing to fit a boat ride in the Lake District, and some kind of hill walk, into the journey, which I suspect begs questions about scheduling, but let's not be churlish.

9.4 Back to the Aberdeen area, at Stonehaven, with a contestant from Preston making the shortlist, but who doesn't win. The weather turns wet towards the end of the time limit.

Police Squad Ep 3 “The Butler Did It (A Bird in the Hand)” Season 1

3/8 Video Killed The Radio Star
MTV, the British Invasion, racism & sexism, heavy metal, Live Aid, hip-hop & rap.
4/8 The Fight Against AIDS
How Rock Hudson's death obligated the government to give more of a toss about a viral pandemic. The inclusion of Anthony Fauci (in this 2016 series) adds a degree of unwitting comment about events of this decade.
