What good TV did you watch last night ? With iPlayer and lots being now available onDemand, share a good watch for others to enjoy!

Last night I watch on iPlayer 'When Britain Ruled the skies' 2 series, about the history of the British invention the Jet Engine, and how it was the world leader in aviation, until the ill fated Comets started falling out of the sky, allowing Boeing to take over. It was a very good watch and highly recommended.

iPlayer BBC Four. Catch it while you can.

Its on DvD, so doesn't really count I suppose, but I am currently watching through Twin Peaks. I watched it originally back in the very early 90s, but the missus hasn't seen it at all and has utterly fallen in love with it.

I really wish Lynch and Frost would go back to Twin Peaks and revive the franchise, it was revolutionary TV in its day. But sadly I doubt it will ever happen.

Ah !! ...well in that case, perfect.

If anyone watches it, I highly recommend getting stoned whilst watching it. Its just one of those shows which works very well whilst under the influence. Like Hannibal and Lost :D

I watched the first episode of Our World War, which was pretty good. The first episode of a trilogy about King Alfred and the Anglo Saxons. All about fighting the vikings and stuff, which was also good and a couple episodes of Michael Portillos continental railway journeys.

Where's my woolly jumper, pipe and flagon of real ale?

Dispatches - Nigeria's hidden war on channel 4.
This isn't really reported in the news, war crimes going on. Brutal stuff.
Worthy watch on 4OD.

Horizon - Should I Eat Meat? How to Feed The Planet

Apparently we should be eating about half the meat we currently do for sustainability reasons (about 100 grams).

Thats easily solved, an increase in marriage...as any man will tell you that once married 50% of the worlds population eats about half the meat they used to do
