Interestingly Richard Chamberlain was also the original Bourne.

watched that myself last night and really enjoyed it. Reminded me of those 70s/80s dystopian TV dramas... which i guess were what influenced the writer.

I taped it then discarded it when I found out it was to do with Michael Sheen.
Personally I find his new found Welshness an embarrassment. Just my personal view, enjoy the series.

I know that Monty. However after years of him not knowing it he now appears to think he is a "spokesperson" for our nation and some of his "speak" is downright embarrassing.

And kind of based on a true story too. I went down a wormhole checking out the East India Company and came across the story of the first Englishman to make it to Japan. Heck of a story - just that.

Miners' Strike 1984: The Battle for Britain (All4)
Features lots of interviews with the people involved from all parties involved in the dispute, wherever you stand this is a must watch I'd say for us to understand why this was such a divisive dispute that to this day has left deep scars in people.

Yes, was reading an interview with a chap who carried on working through the strike at Point of Ayr Colliery in North Wales. Forty years on and some people still won't talk to him.

I did see an obituary around 1980 or so for an old lady in a Welsh mining valley. Apparently she would attend funerals for strikebreakers from the 1927 General Strike, and when the coffin was being lowered she'd spit in the grave and loudly proclaim that another of those scab bastards gone to the horror of the other mourners. Even 50+ years on she had not forgotten or forgiven, albeit that was maybe taking it a bit far

Looks like Fallout series is hitting in April (based on the game).
Just started Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Apple) - it's great, especially if you like Godzilla and similar stuff.
