What TV show did you last watch?

Artworks Scotland: Moira Shearer - The Reluctant Star
She had her centenary last week (well, she died in 2006, but anyway), and this short profile was from the same year. Best remembered for The Red Shoes, which she hated, working 3 times with Powell & Pressburger, whom she didn't like, and 55 years of marriage of Ludovic Kennedy (so, 1 out of 3).

Tea with Judi Dench
A one-off with Kenny Branagh visiting his old friend at her home to talk about old times.

UN Secretary General Interview
The Beeb's Anna Foster tries to make Antonio Guterres take more blame for the world's problems.

The Bottom Line
Steve Clemons talks to Daniel Yergin about the prospects for oil policies, and later to Christian Whiton, who sounds like a made-up pro-Trump character, but turns out to be a real one. Amongst many worrisome ideas he seems chuffed with is that Trump wants Greenland so he can be the President who added #51 (as if 50 wasn't a conveniently round number).

2 - Wachau Valley, Austria
Mountains, castles, apricots... Austria has them all.

RG's WMAW
3 - Normandy beaches, France
D-Day, mainly, though he did sidle off to Bayeux too.

The Listening Post
A chat to Ellie Leonard, working hard to make the Epstein files more available than the US govt wants them to be.

The Daily Show w/Jon Stewart
Spends the first half berating another mad week in Trump-land, then spends the second half talking to some Washington Post shill and parroting Trump's lines on Iran.

11.2 Back to London, and St James' Park, with a view of Buck House. News this week of a massive format change for S12 adds a melancholy touch to viewing this now. Again, generally very good results all round.

LAotY 2026
11.3 Down to the port of Dover, leading to frenzied results, however competent.

Philip Larkin and the Third Woman
"Sir" Andrew Motion went to Hull to meet Betty Mackereth, the 3rd woman that the famous Hull librarian/poet/photographer was keeping on the go, and to discover a new/lost poem of his. Made in 2010, repeated because she recently died at 101. Such is television.
