Meet the Press, w/Kristin Welker
She's settled her format down, clearly, more interview oriented than before. Mitt Romney is one of said interviews, and she doesn't mention that in a parallel universe, he would have won in 2012 and we might never have had the Trump era. Maybe just as well, as Romney seems to want to be both on- & off-message.

A decent Making Of type show from PBS America, on how Gary Cooper took the role after many others turned it down, how annoyed John Wayne got, and yet Gary got him to accept his Oscar and he made a generous quip about it.

"Prisoners of the Tower"
Valentine Dyall narrates this post-WW2 look at the Tower of London, in character as a ghost of a former prisoner. A curio of its time.
Imagine... Anselm Kiefer - Remembering the Future
Repeat from 2014 with an artist who has grand works, owns studios based in old factories, and who seems to hang on to all sorts of old rubbish that he's used before or might use again.
