The TV Thread redux

Not sure if its been duscussed here already but I’m binge watching Tour de France Unchained at the moment. Still on series 1. Its the same model as the F1 thingy

I think its excellent asit flips between interviews, and action sequences etc. It seems to have a lot of unseen footage. To me anyways. The crashes are nuts.

Serious question.
Does it cover the use of performance enhancing drugs?
If not, it’s dishonest.

No, and I am not convinced of the latter either but I know you cant rule it out either. It’s both fantastic that there’s one guy that is rewriting the sport and isn’t an asshole, but worrying that the gap between him and and the rest is so huge.

First series, so far there’s been little on Pog. It’s as if they didnt get access to him.

Still I’m finding it enjoyable, and its always a good discussion point with guys at work as I’m surrounded by ultra marathon runners, iron man people, runners, fell runners, mountain bikers efc.

Anyone watching Shifty, the new Adam Curtis documentary? Damn, it’s a grim (excellent though!)

It’s on BBC iPlayer, well worth a watch imho

Squid Game is back for the third and supposedly final season. It absolutely pissed it down here all day yesterday so I binged may through it. Unfortunately, it was a real disappointment.

I was really pleasantly surprised by how worthwhile the second season was given it was difficult to see where they could go with the story, but I thought they pulled it off really well. The show does a really good job of introducing good characters with real clarity about who are they and what their motivations are and that carried the second series. This time around with no new characters to introduce it all just felt tired. It was a much needed end to a high concept idea without much room inside it to explore any more than it already had.

I’m three episodes in and the CGI on two things in particular had me in absolute stitches, laughably bad.

I dont really like gore but found season 1 of squid games really addictive. I dont feel i can bring myself to go through season 2 or 3 of that though.

Just watched penultimate episode of Murderbot. I love this show, its been great fun.

I’ve also just started season 2 of Shrinking. I think that show is great.

Some may remember this being groundbreaking at the time…

*ITV is bringing back the iconic 7 Up documentary series with its tenth film, 70 Up, set to air in 2026. *
*The series, which began in 1964, has followed the same group of people every seven years, giving a unique look at their lives from childhood to now. *
Though director Michael Apted passed away in 2021, production on the new installment started last month.
You can catch up on the whole 7 Up Collection now on ITVX.
