What are you watching?

I watched Midas Man on Amazon Prime last night.

It was about Brian Epstein's life concentrating largely on his management of The Beatles.

It was competently acted, and the George, John and Paul actors did very well, but for anyone who has slightly more than a passing acquaintance with his story, it tells you absolutely nothing new.

A bit of a shame really, it felt like a much better film was bubbling somewhere underneath the surface.

I've been watching 'Detectorists' on iplayer, and they keep mentioning a Saxon king called Sexred. I googled his name. You would not BELIEVE some of the results I got!

Watched this on the Princes in the Tower from last year on Channel 4. Interesting example of presenting strawman, and false dichotomy, and Robert Rinder appearing to prostitute his 'expertise'.

Note, there is not enough evidence to decide that Richard the Thurd murdered the Princes in the Tower but despite the way that it is presented in the programme that's not been the position generally taken. It's been highly questioned for a long time.
