What TV show did you last watch?

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Ep 8 “The Sword of Kahless“ Season 4

The Daily Show w/Jon Stewart
Trump has odd ideas about Thanksgiving, and Elizabeth Kolbert had a new book on the environment to plug.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Ep 9 “Our Man Bashir” Season 4

Stranger Things S5 Ep 1 to 4.

Good to see this back and back on form. I'm not entirely convinced by Linda Hamilton's appearance but that's a minor quibble and having to wait until Christmas & New Year for the final episodes is a bit of a ballache too

The 4th series ends with an obligatory look at a sci-fi film (actually, they did Highlander, to be fair). The days of a budget to send presenter Iain Nathan to a country involved are clearly long gone too. Probably easier to make these shows than the "Discovering/Producers" ones.

Classic Christmas Movies: The Muppets Christmas Carol
Stone me, they're doing an extra short series for Christmas as well. A couple of clips of Michael Caine talking (though generally, rather than specifically about this film) did make a change, also footage of Jim Henson and the Muppet team.

A sculptress who had a sad, bad childhood, and made Tilda Swinton sleep in a box, to the ire of Brian Sewell. She'd had mental health battles, but seemed robust at this time.

IMOW: Yinka Shonibare
The last one of this series saw the artist looking back on some archive of his past, and what has led him to his style. As his parents had higher expectations of a career for him, his acceptance of CBEs etc seems a fair mark of respect (and he says much as such).

12.10 The final sees actor Brian Cox taking his turn, and sure enough, the gimmicky choice wins the day. Oh well.

12.11 The winner's film, in which said lass pals up with Professor Hannah Fry, her subject, and produces a portrait that everyone likes, as per usual.

CCM: It's a Wonderful Life
But of course. They did at least largely agree that it's a rip-off of A Christmas Carol.

Arena - Clint Eastwood: Part One - Out of the West
From 2000, when he was only 70. Clinton Jr, in fact. In a nutshell: "my mistake, four coffins"
