Things that annoy or delight you on the telly right now

The Devil’s Hour on iPlayer is pretty excellent.  Great cast, although Alex Ferns is either incapable of, or deliberately not, showing any emotion at all. 
 

Unlike most child actors, who are dreadful, the wee boy is terrifically creepy.

I just watched the first episode of SAS Rogue Heroes on BBC1. 

It was quite entertaining and amusing. I reckon I'll stick with it.

just finished the 2nd episode and enjoyed it so far

I like it, posting in code like the SAS.

I saw about 2m minutes of this and got the impression it was clearly a made up story.  
 

If real things aren’t good on telly they’ll get binned and other things will be completely made up because they’re good for telly. See Danny Boyle’s Sex Pistols thingy for examples.

Currently on Episode 2 of "Italia 90: Four Weeks that Changed the World" on Sky Documentaries.

They're discussing the game between West Germany and Yugoslavia, and one of the talking heads has pointed out that not long after that game, neither of those countries existed in the same form. Although it seems really obvious now, it's mental to think how much Europe/the world changed over the next few years with the break-up of Yugoslavia and the USSR, and the German reunification.

The really mental thing is how much Europe has continually changed as you go back in history, considering we think of it as a relatively stable part of the world.

What a start that tournament had. Within the first few days, the world champions defeated by rank outsiders Cameroon (which would be like France losing to Qatar now), we shit the bed against minnows Costa Rica (which would be like someone like Denmark losing to, erm, Qatar, considering we were considered dark horses and nobody rated our opponents), and Ze Germans go up against a very talented team of genuine contenders and ruthlessly take them apart.

The blip of post war stability that Europe enjoyed might still be with us today had good men like Tito, Hoxha and Honecker still had a hand on the tiller uniting men in socialist brotherhood.

Watched Dublin Murders in the last week. Enjoyed it mostly, story got a bit confusing at time cause it was 2 books mixed into one and wasn’t a fan of Rob’s very posh English accent (although the actors very posh Irish accent isn’t much better). Didn’t see the ending coming at all. Think just about every character was an “oh f**k that’s your guy from that”. Was great to see Nidge basically play the same character as he does in Love/Hate.

Bluey.

Australian kids cartoon about a family of dogs.

Pitched absolutely perfectly for likeability of the characters, life lessons and humour. Fantastic.

Greatest tv show ever
