Yeah tonight’s Ep is actually Ep 1 they never get shit straight lol.
"Hitmen"
Mel & Sue from Bake Off in Pulp Fiction-y spoof arrives on our screens about 25 years late. Talk about missing the bandwagon.
Everything about it - the Tarantino-esque gangster duo talking shit to each other and messing things up concept; and even the soundtrack (eg The Lemonheads "Mrs Robinson" accompanies an implausible segment of the pair dressed as a Simon & Garfunkel tribute act to infiltrate a wedding party to get at a target) screams "I wish it was still 1995".
And I suspect the two leading ladies wish they were back in the mid 90s as well probably.
It's OK - their natural charisma together carries it.
Star Trek Enterprise, series 3 finale "Zero Hour"
Good episode but it still annoys me all these years later that there were ZERO starships patrolling Earth's orbit, especially considering they were on the brink of annihilation
Red Dwarf: The Promised Land
The boys from the dwarf are back! Its brilliant from start to finish with plenty of laughs throughout.
plus there are even more laughs on UKTV Play with the “Smeg Ups” Blooper reel

From Serbia into Bulgaria. No particular hardships like in some previous years (Currie skipped the mountain trek, fair enough she'd old), but Chiles the Catholic convert tried to stir trouble about the validity of the pilgrimage.
pt 3 of 3
They all made it. There was never much drama of "ooh will we make our daily distance?" because they always did. The three women were also 50+ but despite ducking a couple of the along-the-way challenges, there was no drama about it. Anyway, everyone made it to the big mosque in Istanbul, and most seemed to have enjoyed the experience. Whether there will be a 4th series next year will depend on RL issues I guess.
Chernobyl Eps 1 & 2 - late to the game but I have this thing when everyone is like you must watch this it immediately puts me off, I didn't start on Game of Thrones until between season 4 & 5. Very good so far only planned to watch the 1st but went straight to the 2n & wanted to keep going but my bed beckoned
Leaning Into The Wind
Andy Goldsworthy is a visual artist doing stuff like leaving shadows on the ground, lines of leaves, rockless paths and other stuff which doesn't sound clever but looks it. He spent some time in Heysham, so that was nice to see him revisit too.

Bangor to Caernarvon, then down to Llanberis and finally Snowdonia (again).
2.4 Aberdeen to Ballater
Blah blah Balmoral, blah blah hunting estates, blah blah pretty river.
