Jeepers Creepers

who do you think you are on Bbc1 last night with Boy George. Going back through his family history to his Grandmothers time in an industrial school in Dublin to his Great uncle being hanged for his role as an Irish Volunteer. Turns out he was one of the forgotten ten repatriated from Mountjoy to Glasnevin alongside Kevin Barry. an intertesting and enjoyable hour of tv if you get the chane to watch again.

Watched it. Thought it was excellent. Noticed his gramdmother was a Kinehan.

Watched it and it was very interesting. Also noticed that despite the Buddhist chanting he forgot himself one time and made the sign of the cross.

Watched it initially  out of "nothing much else to do" & it ended up very interesting. Have been to Kilmainham before & it's an integral part of our history, obviously . Did a tour of Crumlin Road jail a couple of years ago. They do all of the lead up, but the bit where they take you into the execution place sort of throws you a fair bit.

Denn Forever

The History of Ireland on BBC Four with Fergal Keane.  Monday night at 10pm or anytime for people who can access the BBCplayer.  Amazing how quickly you forget your history lessons from National school.

Pretty crap first episode.

Goliath on Amazon Prime is half decent. Billy Bob Thornton as a burnt out lawyer.

Documentary/Film on RTE now on John Hume in America.

It is a show which I consider to be an outstanding tv drama in all respects.  Imo this first episode of season 4 carries on where s3 ended and filled in a few more pieces of the puzzle of Jimmy constantly trying to find himself, which eventually culminates with him turning into Saul, amid bouts of self doubt and sabotage.

Watching Teachers back. Very good and aged well.

Milltown Row2

Watching The Forest or La Foret as its really known on Netflix... A bit like Broadchurch, very good
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

The Iceman

1 episode left to go in Kobra Kai - really enjoying it so far - great tribute to the franchise
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight
