What TV show did you last watch?

Beast from the East - The Big Freeze of 2018
It lasted less than a fortnight. Tomas Shafernaker drew the short straw as the weather expert entrusted to balance out the verbiage of such contributors as Greg Wallace, Michael Buerk and Nick Ferrari.

2 - Sea Coasts & Tidal Pools
Fife, where the bananas come from, and then the land of Nairnia to meet the nairncompoops of Nairn. Bloody cold water does wonders for the mind, apparently.

J&G's WS
3 - Rivers
The Tay, basically, which they dipped into in 3 places, like Kenmore and Aberfeldy. Among the groups they palled up with were the Dundee Dookers and the Freezing Fannies.

Dickens in Italy, with David Harewood
1 - Dave goes to Genoa, then Rome. He felt Dickens had nothing to say to him, until he read a travel book on Italy which Charlie wrote. He later says that whilst he admires the architecture of the Colosseum, he often forgets that it has a bloody past.

2 - Dave finishes off his free holiday by going to Venice, then Naples. At the latter, he amusingly goes to a seance with a 93 year old woman, just as thunder and lightning happen. She gives him a message he seems happy with, and the credits report she since died.

A pleasant enough effort, though more about Italy than about Charles Dickens, and I'm sceptical that an actor of his experience would have been so ignorant about Dickens.

Meet the Press w/Kristen Welker
A lengthy interview with Nikki "not going to be President on this Earth" Haley, and a shorter interview with Alexandra "also not going to be President any time soon" Ocasio-Cortez.
