About to sit down to watch it in just over an hour! I wonder what 'mind bending journey' it will take me on this time.

The South Bank Show - Frank Skinner
Lord Melvyn talks mainly about Frank as a stand-up who did occasional other things. Frank gets clearly moved when talking about his father.

The Footage Detectives
Morris Bright came in with a couple of clips from special events marking blue plaques for Norman Wisdom, and Billy Cotton.

SKY ARTS - Mad Tracey from Margate

As you might imagine, this is an intimate, although not brand new, portrait of the life of Tracey Emin! Yes it featured that infamous piece 'unmade bed' which made her name (still highly questionable as an artwork in my view), but also in fairness to her, highlighted the relatively broad areas of 'real' art she excelled in - not least her sketches - which, it was said, actually showed her inability as an artist. I actually think that it features some of her best work, and for what it is worth, has a greater level of 'legitimacy' than is the case with Banksy.

Nobody questions that seeking to shock - too simplistic in describing Emin's work I believe - is perfectly legitimate. It is the creative merit that I question most, like Eugenie Scrase and the impaled tree trunk on railings that she had the cheek to put 'on show' some years ago for a competition run by C Sattchi! I recall actually that it was T Emin who described it as 'Genius' If you haven't seen it look it up.

Kirsty Wark and Brenda Emmanus meet co-ordinator Yinka Shonibare, and several hopeful artists trying to be included (they all are).

Joe Lycett - Summer Exhibitionist
The multi-faceted comedian fails to get included in the Royal Academy of Arts' jamboree, but meets several would-be artists, most of whom do get included. He also witnesses some of the selection process, and drinks beef tea. ISTT there was a near-identical show last summer but I can't remember who fronted it.

The Orville New Horizons Ep 8 “Midnight Blue” Season 3

Great Ep and the cameo was really good too, my only negative was the Ep was a little bit too long.

Last Week Tonight w/John Oliver
Back after a break with a look at Inflation, plus a follow-up to a piece about dolls on a Texan beach.
