I watched it this morning when I couldn't sleep.

They are very talented! It's funny that we often think of jewellery as being so delicate, yet there they are, burning and twisting and rasping and pulling. It's really fascinating.

I loved the stretchy thing they use to make chains.

And the way the metal melts into neat shiny little balls

I watched it last night on the rerun, it took me back to the jewellery course I did a couple of years ago.

I want to watch the jewellery one, that sounds good.

We’ve started watching I Can See Your Voice on Mr S’s suggestion as the kids loved The Masked Singer so much and also because we vaguely know someone on it . It’s AWFUL! And so contrived! But also weirdly entertaining, I can’t wait to see the rest.

It’s so drawn out and terrible, but somehow a background watchable.

Series 6 of Superstore is on ITV and it's set in covid real time. Pretty cool as it's one of the very few (if not the only) fictional programme I've seen that is.

I keep missing this and can't access bbc iplayer.

I'm watching Makeup: A glamorous History which is on directly after it. It's covers make up through the ages. It's very interesting.

I'm really enjoying Makeup

The Elizabethans though. Lead poisioning

Motherland series 3 starts on Monday at 9pm, I’m guessing on BBC2. Series 1 and 2 on the iPlayer. Love Anna Maxwell Martin but the real star is Diane Morgan.

Grey’s Series 17 and its spin-off fire station series, Station 19, are all about the rona, Marth. It’s actually almost refreshing to see it being used intrinsically as part of the plot, rather than having to suspend your awareness of the circumstances surrounding its production.

I'm enjoying the make up thing too. I love Lisa Eldridge.

That Mare Of Easttown thing is good so far. Kate Winslet is great in it. As with anything like this, it can all go to shit in the last episode, mind you.

We've just started series 3 of Keeping Faith. I really enjoy it! All three series are on iPlayer.

I loved that, Azu - I binge watched series 1&2 and was really pleased to see the third .

We started watching The Terror last night. It's really good.

Did anyone watch The Pursuit of Love last night and was it any good?

I did, and I loved it. It was camp old nonsense, but none the worse for that.

Ooh good, I shall watch then.
