Murder in the Car Park,
After this week's news reports I decided to check out last year's documentary about the Daniel Morgan case on 4 on demand.
It is a fascinating docu drama about murder, police corruption, press corruption and the lengths that the establishment will go to protect reputations at the expense of justice. Chilling stuff.

[Bringer Of Funerals]

I'm watching a Canadian show called Heartland, about a family who look after horses on a ranch and it stars Amber Marshall from Resident Evil: Apocalypse

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

Over the past three or four nights, I watched Normal People, a drama series on iPlayer that was highly rated. It's not the best TV show I've seen on BBC this year, though it is one with exceptional performances and which I found to be interesting, occasionally funny, and often quite moving. The amount of sex and nudity is unusually high for a BBC drama series, though it never seems titillating or gratuitous.

Just watched series 2 sick of it, I could watch owt with Karl pilkington he entertaining, series about everyday life it’s entertaining and amusing without going out it’s way to be funny, sometimes I find the simple and basic humour better than something that tries to be funny
