What TV show did you last watch?

Unspun World
John Simpson returned to talk Greenland, China and India, with only a brief closing message for Ukraine and nothing on Gaza.

Actually a different series, albeit on the same premise. This 1807 effort depicts some bloke's mistress, qui s'appelle "Madame Duvaucey", in a time where mistresses were accepted but typically left legally unconnected, so they'd get gifts like diamonds to tide them over. If that seems dull, wait until they start harping on about how many diamonds came from India - so riveting it made me nostalgic for Crazy Legs Crane looking for gold.

TWIAP: Caravaggio's Comb
This gem, depicting Martha and Mary Magdalene, ties in the Catholic Church's taste in subject matter, the premise that ivory depicts purity, that before the Portuguese discovered elephants in Africa the ivory came from walruses in Greenland (!), and that hairstyles tell a thousand words.
I found this all more interesting than the previous one, which may bode well given there's 2 more left.
