What TV show did you last watch?

Late Night w/Seth Meyers
Christian Slater was good value, whilst Zosia Mamet was comparatively fresher. Then later in the week, Michelle Yeoh was kick-ass, whilst Kristin Welker wisely didn't talk much on politics.

Last of the series, until 2024, and not a word on the Middle East. Unspun indeed.

UW w/JS
Back for a new series, and still nowt on the Middle East, or even Ukraine. Instead, a special from Taiwan about Chinese past, present and supposed future.

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.

J&G' WS - TIA
2 - "The Uists", namely Eriskay, South Uist and Benbecula. Their van conking out was the main subplot, as their kids and dog were AWOL. They made sure to discuss Whisky Galore too.

Star Trek Voyager Ep 15 “Hunters” Season 4.

After the series of Traitors UK has finished I've started to watch the American version of it.
They use the same location and the same games (with just a few changes).
Instead of Claudia they've brought in camp Scot Alan Cumming as the presentor.

The big change is that most of the contestants have previously been seen in American reality shows (Big Brother, Survivor, Housewifes of.. etc)
So in many cases the contestants know each other, many of them have grievances with other contestants. It seems to take the show to another level of parinodia

15/20 Adebunji Alade returns to demonstrate painting Figures in Landscape, which looked strangely more plausible than I'd have thought.
16/20 Phoebe Hicks is tasked with Child Portraiture, and she does a largely charcoal based gem based on a photo of her son.

17/20 Christian Hook talks on Playing With Colour, which he demonstrates using just 7 colours, and doing a picture based on a blank bust of a face, which doesn't have any colour.
18/20 Fin Campbell-Notman returns to talk on Painting Skies and Clouds, based on a colour photo of some trees on a hilltop.

Why Bridges Collapse: The Genoa Disaster
From 2019, looking at the August 2018 failure of the Polcevera Bridge, talking to some of those who survived the fall, and then engineers and folks telling the history of its construction, what techniques were supposed to help it, and why they ultimately might not have done. A pretty grim story, although there was some light amid the gloom: two oldies who lived in low cost housing under the bridge got together as a result.

Global Public Square
FZ went to Davos, naturally, and got to chat to Israeli president Isaac Herzog, and then Iranian vice-president Javad Zarif, and also the lady in charge of the WTO.
