Салатные палочки Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 A Killing in Tiger Bay. Available on the iplayer. Three part documentary on the iplayer about the killing of Lynette White in 1988 and the wrongful conviction of three black men for the murder. Absolutely frightening the lengths the police went to to charge five innocent men. The audio of the interviews is hard listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_ Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 The Frank Zappa doc currently on IPlayer is tremendous. What a man. I know a lot of his music is probably a bit out there for most (myself included), but he's a captivating individual. Definitely worth a watch.

Think it's in 3 parts and tells the story of Alan Sanford who put up a million dollars per man to the winners of a 3 match 20/20 series between England and West Indies. An absolute **** of a man.

Ray Gin Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I see that "Next Goal Wins", an excellent documentary about American Samoa's attempts to qualify for the 2014 World Cup while they were ranked the worst team in the world, is being turned in to a comedy-drama being directed by Taika Waititi. Could be one to keep an eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 " Wishful drinking" . Its a recording of a one woman show Carrie Fisher did several years back. It explores her life and her battles with addiction and her bananas family. She's extremely funny and at times its very moving about how her life has been so decked up due to variety of reasons. She talks about being Princess Leia and those weirdo fandom fans who lust after her. One guy told her he used to masturbate 4 times a day about her from age 14 -22.. Not sure why he stopped ? She didn't say She speaks about her relationship with her mum Debbie Reynolds and its clear they had a loving but bizarre relationship. It a great documentary. "Tina" Outstanding documentary about TIna Turner. She looks back on her life. The abuse from Ike is explored and its awful to listen to. He really was scum. But she finally left him and at a court settlement gave up rights to all their music and royalties but wanted to keep her name. it was a great act of defiance against him as he had named her Tina. He agreed. She has had the last laugh as we know she went on to incredible international solo success and finally found real love and emotional support from a man. A really inspiring story. Beautiful woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) World War Two on YouTube has been going for several years now, documenting each week of the war in real time, week by week. So this week was Episode 216, October 9th-15th 1943. They have lots of other spin-offs too like Spies&Ties which follows the espionage efforts, On the Homefront which looks at conditions for civilians and War Against Humanity which examines war crimes committed by all sides. Lots of other videos as well as those; in-depth profiles of key personnel, major events get their own videos and anything else they can think of that deserves more than a regular weekly episode to cover. Sadly, the War Against Humanity series has had to be published more frequently as the war has progressed, as the death tolls and massacres are getting too numerous to cover in monthly updates. It's now weekly. It's chilling that fighting was raging in Ukraine on the same weeks in 1943 as it is right now, right down to the same towns and railways. They did the same thing for The Great War, starting exactly 100 years on from the assassination of Archuduke Ferdinand. After the armistice was signed in Nov 1918/2018, most of the team split off to make the WW2 channel, but some of them stayed behind to cover all the civil wars and other action that kept going after that. And there was A LOT of action after Nov 11th 1918. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheGreatWarSeries https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldWarTwo Edited October 19, 2022 by Cade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
