What TV show did you last watch?

Bradford's Big Bash
This year's UK City of Culture, famous as the city where I had maybe the best Yorkshire pudding I've ever eaten. This show was about the opening ceremony, with top "Bradfordian" Steven "fka Dynamo" Frayne.

5.5 Back to Gateshead for the Tyne Bridge (and more), and Kate disappears again, under the guise of being pregnant. One might think these two eps were filmed a) out of sequence, and b) much later than the other heats. Rather blows the myth. Two retread contestants, and oddly almost all 8 main contestants pick an identical viewpoint, at odds with the full span of the bridge.

LAotY 2019
5.6 The last heat takes a view of Drake's Island, in Plymouth "Sound". One retread contestant makes the final 3, but not the semi-final.

Late Night w/Seth Meyers
Ben Stiller was pushing the 2nd series of Severance, whilst Pauline Chalamet was pushing some other drama.

11/20 Presumably sourcing 20 different artists was too much, so the first 10 get to double up. Here, Sara Reeve talks on Loosening Up, but just using one largish brush.
12/20 Gareth Reid returns to talk on Observing Facial Features, by dividing a face into abstract shapes.

13/20 Fujiko Rose returns to talk on Botanical Flowers, which look a bit trickier than most other topics.
14/20 Morag Caister returns to talk on Painting With Lines, and even has a live model to work with, though it seems both a bit boring and a bit under-skilled.

Global Public Square
Handily timed to clash with the hostage release, FZ brought Mustafa Barghouti back for the first time in 15 months, and effectively pitted him against an Israeli podcaster, Haviv Rettig Gur, who confidently expected the three-phase deal won't get to phase two.

6 - Islands and Oceans
Mull first, where she filmed Balamory, and where they both get stung by jellyfish, and then on to Iona, where they end the series with a skinny dip.

Overall, an excellent series, and they do mention what they might cover in a follow-up series, so I hope there is one.

Back as hoped, this time travelling off the mainland, and with their two sons also along with their dog. They also check out the adjacent Vatersay too.

5.7 The semi-final takes our 6 heat winners plus wildcard choice up to the Firth of Cromarty, still without Kate (though she's had the baby). Three women get picked for the final, including the wildcard.
