Learned a few things from the Dinosaurs doc, fascinating stuff indeed.

Certainly one to look out for :thumb:

I've also been watching (again) the Galapagos series by the man himself - a few years old now, but absolutely stunning.

Due to the inclement weather I spent my own "lost weekend" watching the 5 volumes of Understanding Lennon/McCartney on the Yoo Toob. Fascinating stuff IMO.

So sat down to watch "Road" last night, a doco dedicated to the Dunlop family, the greatest road racers ever. Have renewed respect for Michael Dunlop now who I always considered a bit stuck up/aloof.

Just watched this (on Amazon Prime) and dear God almighty, I don't know whether to admire the courage of these guys or wonder if they have some kind of death wish! Liam Neeson the perfect narrator for this documentary, and some hair-raising filming from helmet and bike cams. Terrifying, but also very moving.

Watched a doco/show about one of my favourite people on TV yesterday and had a good old laugh out loud, which is needed now and then:

Billy Connolly: It's Been A Pleasure

An absolute class act who I've been a lifelong fan of. Saw him live many years ago in Bath - I was quite honestly in pain laughing.

Shall certainly watch this - thanks for the link :thumb:

A 4-Part "Docu-series" now showing on BBC4 in the UK - "Earth from Space". A few years old (2019), so no doubt available through the usual suspects (obviously including BBC iPlayer).

Episode 1 was absolutely fascinating (and frightening at times), so high hopes for the remainder. It's hard to put this in a specific field - showing the earth monitored by satellite, beit climate, nature, civilisation et. al. and followed with on-the-ground filming makes this truly remarkable IMHO.
