What TV show did you last watch?

Late Night w/Seth Meyers
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barry Diller had plenty of stories to work with. Later, Christine Baranski was acerbic and James Acaster is clearly someone Seth raves over.

10.6 Back to Bristol, at the Harbourside, with a view of gaudily painted houses, much like Balamory. They pick a print maker who uses really small wood blocks for her creations.

LAotY 2025
10.7 To Portsmouth Dockyard for the Semi-final, at which point they reveal two of the heat winners had been on the show before. The "challenge" of painting HMS Warrior amid a rising tide is dealt with with originality mainly by painting something else. With only 2 blokes in a field of 7, it's statistically curious when they both get put through to the final, alongside the pallet knife whizz they keep professing to dislike.

Thundercats Ep 9 "The Garden of Delights" & Ep 10 "Mandora - The Evil Chaser" Season 1

Ironheart eps 1,2 and 3

The Loss of the SS Schiller
Short documentary on the tragic Scilly Isles-based calamity in which over 300 people died, in May 1875.

The Listening Post
They talk to Chris Hedges over comparisons between demonising Iran now and demonising Iraq back in 2002-3.

10.8 To Stonehenge for the final. It turned out both previous entrants made the final, and one of them wins the big prize, perhaps after sucking up to judges that the show had inspired him in his painting journey. His paintings were pretty good, it seemed a close final.

2/4 Slightly better, he seems won over by some less psychotic American traits, and the mayors all sign their agreements like lambs.

JL's USoB
3/4 Maybe a break helped? He enjoyed Iowa and Missouri, learnt to love burnt ends, and discovered a sad fate in Kentucky.

David Starkey's Magna Carta
From 2015, inevitably, Dodgy Dave makes the case that MC meant less in 1215 than we're usually led to believe, and it tends to have more impact/respect in the USA than the UK, though times are changing (and clearly, a 2025 update would really have a lot to say, not that there'll be one).
