What TV show did you last watch?

The Listening Post
An Indian dig backfires, and Liz Oliva Fernandez gives the inside goss from Cuba, where predictably Marco Rubio's lies are fooling nobody.

1 - Isle of Wight
Surprised it's 3 years since his last such show. Here he talked a lot about his dad, who was a Tube driver apparently. Paul got to ride electric trains, steam trains and even model trains. Plus helping deliver a calf (by hand, not by train).

PM: DAT
2 - Switzerland
In a change from being reminded of Chris Tarrant' broadly similar series, this also reminded me that Treasure Hunt did a special one in Switzerland too. Paul claims to be yet another comic who dislikes heights, an inconvenience in this episode, but does see some pretty cast iron evidence about climate change.

Last Week Tonight w/John Oliver
A long and gloomy look at Trump's abuse of the Pardon system, and a short look at the way Ghana promoted films in the 1980s with creative and often irrelevant posters.

Sean Thomas gets out of the studio to visit the Sulak Canyon and the Sarykum Dune.

IV: Mount Elbrus
Sean considers climate change and glaciers with a couple of experts. One of whom says the glaciers might recover as a result of some drastic event, like nuclear war.

Devil May Cry Ep 6 "Purgatorio" Season 2

2.10 Down to Daytona Beach, for the prosaic Pig burger, followed by pancakes made at table, and a final challenge which combined 3 stacked sandwiches, which 85% fail. However, with no time limit, he skips the optional fries, and wins the day.

MvF
2.11 Back up to Boise for the Over the Edge burger (with brewery-added items), then an ice cream treat designed to look like a baked potato, before a challenge that involved super-spicy soup followed by super-spicy sushi, a 10 minute time limit, 98% failure rate, but he knocks it off in under 6.

The Daily Show w/Jon Stewart
Jon looks at the Art of the Non-Deal, and gets a surprise visit from Olivia Munn. He then has a very pally chat with Jason Bateman.

Devil May Cry Ep 7 "Into the City of Woe" Season 2.

African Voices: Yvonne Orji
Larry Madowo met this Nigerian stand-up in Los Angeles, and took in good spirit her withering view of his own brief stand-up ambitions.

Unspun World
El Nino is not climate change, just a weather pattern, though each might exacerbate the other. Oh, and even John accepts that ebola's bad.
