Win the Wilderness on Netflix is worth a watch. Beautiful scenery of Alaska and it has reinforced what I already knew, I don't want to go camping where a bear might jump me and if there is not a hot shower I do not want to play.

Just finished watching series 1 of The Teach on SBS On Demand. Murder, small town, corruption etc-thought it was a good watch

We have just finished watching seasons 1 to 8 - one episode a night. Bit of a marathon, but we loved it and are now suffering withdrawal symptoms.

Try The Witcher. Not a replacement in any way but not bad. Also the Last Outpost.

The Fifth Element is on high rotation on SBS Viceland = to be screened 5 times in a row today. A classic from 1997 if you haven't seen it before.

It's quite subtle in it's humour and very good. IMHO. The last episode in particular is brilliant.

The Guardian is less enthusiastic but...

I have a mind to download everything I enjoy and keep it on file in case the networks decide to delete it all.

It’s not be of the Germans you know but the old buffer using the N word. Sheesh.

“The Major was an old fossil left over from decades before. We were not supporting his views, we were making fun of them,” said Cleese, who knew nothing of UKTV's move until this masthead contacted him. “If they can’t see that, if people are too stupid to see that, what can one say?”

John Cleese slams UKTV decision to remove Fawlty Towers episode as 'stupid'

The comedy legend says removing the famous The Germans episode completely misses the point.

Ah. Fair enuf then. Mea culpa. I just read the headlines. Should have known better. Do you reckon Outlander would have been written and filmed differently then given Aunt Jocasta?

No. Why? It’s pseudo “historical”. Unlike Scomo, we all know slavery existed.

Well it was if you say contrast it with films from the Gone with the wind era.

We have started on the new season of Alone - great if you love a bit of wilderness survival. The contestants in the show are incredibly skilled.

That's a great show. Binge watched Season 6 last week. I think this is possibly the best reality show out there. No one is getting voted out, nothing is a popularity contest. It's all down to their own skills and the ability to be able to manage their own situation mentally.

I do know I would probably refuse to get off the vehicle that drops them off on day 1 as I wouldn't last 5 minutes out of fear.

Second season of Das Boot now showing.
