Coventry are a long way behind Hull’s starting point & will struggle to fill Hull’s boots. Which is a shame. The place is in a rather dilapidated state.
This may well have been posted on the Climate Change/Global Warming thread I suppose ( see around 40 mins in). However, smart lady Margaret Atwood, on many fronts. Was repeated on "Imagine" on BBC4 again tonight. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b093tw95/imagine-margaret-atwood-you-have-been-warned
Unbelievable documentary on Storyville last night about the death of UN Secretary General Dag Hammerskjold in 1961. We’ll worth a watch!
Storyville is nearly always the best prog of the week on BBC4 whatever the week. Started watching this last night by chance and in 5 mins I was hooked. Riveting stuff - and I don't mean a documentary about shipbuilding. Watch this one if you get the chance https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06sc0x9 or this one https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03td9sc
Saw ‘Hurt Locker’ and totally agree with your recommendation. Will watch the ‘K2’ one which I must have missed.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b050r0bc Think this was the first Storyville I saw. Astonishing story, better than Hollywood, Also this one was good, courageous and fearless Jap lass who was raped fights back.
