The Extreme Staycation

  Location: London, UK  COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown If you have watched the TV show  Succession , then I think you may enjoy a three part documentary on BBC iPlayer about the Murdoch family called "The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty". It's a fascinating documentary about the family and the terrifying number of political connections and power wielded by the family. And if you  haven't  seen Succession - well, I think it was one of the best dramas of the last couple of years. Superbly acted, filmed and a great story full of pretty despicable people.  Great stuff!

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown There was an excellent drama on BBC 1 this week (now iPlayer) called The Salisbury Poisonings. It was a very well written three part piece, based on something that happened so recently and yet was able to tell a side of the story that I imagine most of us didn't know. Rather than focus on the criminal side it focuses on the residents of Salisbury and the unintended victims and their families, who's lives were changed forever by this act of terrorism. I found it very moving - catch it when you can.
