8.3 A comparatively ordinary choice sees contestants sent to Castle Ward, in Norn Iron, to tackle one side of a castle built with one face in one style, and the opposite in another. Charmingly, the wacky surrealist gets the win.

LAotY 2023
8.4 Back to Blackpool, with a view of the rollercoasters at the Pleasure Beach. For once this series, the weather turns rough in the afternoon, and though the retread contestant makes the shortlist, they don't win.

Meet the Press w/Kristin Welker
Marco Rubio makes a change from Lindsey Graham, whilst Bernie Sanders bats away blatant attempts to suggest he's helping Trump by exposing the current uselessness of the Democrats.

Doctor Who Ep 3 “The Well” Season 2

3/5 The Darkest Secret
How Drake Bell became a victim, but was eventually able to take his accuser to court.

QoS - TDSoKT
4/5 Too Close to the Sun
How Bell's day in court did go his way, but not before his accuser had 41 letters of support from other industry types who believed that Bell must have been at fault. Dan Schneider supported Bell, though, and his rise at Nickelodeon continued with shows like Victorious and iCarly. But in 2018, after several inquiries, he was finally shown the door.

8.5 Returning to Ascot, they utilise (kind of) the Royal Enclosure Picnic, and the wildcards are fitted in in front of the pods. One contestant is a lady in her 90s, though she doesn't even make the shortlist.

Star Wars Andor Ep 1 “One Year” Season 2

Capturing Lee Miller
The everyday story of a nude model whose father photographed her naked as a child, who then went on to learn photography from Man Ray and dally with the surrealists, then became a war reporter for Vogue, was part of the liberators in Europe after WW2, wherein she got photographed naked in Hitler's bath, but which other horrors finally put a stop to her larky life. When's the biopic coming out?

5/5 Breaking The Silence
Actually a follow-up to the main series, with Soledad O'Brien talking to Bell and a few others about the fall-out from the story. There were clips from Schneider protesting his innocence and offering qualified apologies for any complaints. The good news was that some of the victims had been able to reconnect with loved ones as a result.

8.6 Back to County Down, near Strangford Lough, with a view to Audley's Castle, which supposedly is a big deal for Game of Thrones fans. That counts me out.

Running Across Recovering Sanriku - 13 Years After The Disaster
So, if you missed it, there was an earthquake & tsunami over on the North-East Coast of Japan back in March 2011. And 30 people undertook a running race over the Whit 3-day weekend last year to see how the country is recovering. They cover 129 km, not counting the trains (!), and there's chance to enjoy smashing scenery, climb at least one mountain, and support the oyster, scallop and venison industries along the way.
