TV round up of the year.

Its this time of year and I've got a round up of all old television I've been watching this year as well as this years Miranda award. 

 

David Attenborough and the Sea Monster. Got an hour to watch and want to know why the BBC license fee is semi worth it in 2024. Its this. Two guys find a massive Pliosaur skull on the Jurassic Coast and they piece it together to make a prehistoric sea monster. If you don't have a license then Arrow DL will actually grab this. 

Food Unwrapped in Korea. I don't like Korea, I think its just a plastic Japan, but I do like food unwrapped, and especially Kate Quilton. So this is my favourite highlight of the year, her and some bender digging up penis worms with some old guy. Its little things that make this what it is. 

Spike Milligan The Unseen Archive. One of those programmes which takes a look back at a comedy legend. Growing up in India he learned how to speak some Indian and there is a nice clip of him talking to an old Indian guy in the audience of if I remember, this is your life. My notes say he owned a Weedle in the 80's and will have to see if I can grab this or record it when its on again.

Weedle and Synth 

Bettany Hughes in Turkey. Forget what the show is but she visits Arlsantepe in Turk-e-yay. Where they look at the motherfucking master sword from the Zelda games. Its not actually, but its the worlds oldest sword and has the Triforce markings on it. So its the proper Master Sword. 

Finally the last of the good ones. Michael Palin in Nigeria. A tour of Nigeria. And a focus on all the wrong stuff. I know we are supposed to be looking at the horrors of slave trade, as the beach they were sent out across the Atlantic. Something we could have easily avoided just by doing what we did in Australia and send out the native population instead of, well, this. All I could think of is that there were a heck of a lot of crabs on that beach. Oh and for the sheer coolness of the warriors up at Kano in the north. You want black knights for you D&D campaign, take a look at them warriors Dungeonmasters and say you're not inspired. 

The Miranda Award for sheer Television barrel scraping goes to. Doctor Who... Where we got rid of Jodie Whittaker and he regenerated into gay Andi Peters. Shit powered baby satellites, evil Drag queens (come on you can do a slasher horror about drag queens, make 'em the next clowns). But mostly for Dot and Bubble a show about being anti racist and white privilege only to find out Stargate SG1 did it a lot better back in the nineties.
