That is a Canadian Classic, spam.......lost track of how many times I've watched it now.
I watched it, twice. I was somewhat underwhelmed.
Apparently, the documentary focuses on the actual words of Van Gogh taken from the hundreds of letters he wrote his brother especially.
Benedict Cumberbatch of Sherlock fame portrays Vincent.
Yes he sure can. He is giving another great performance tonight. Oh and did I mention, he is absolutely to die for. :lol:
Hadn't heard of him, so I googled. Sounds like an interesting chap. Great hair. :smile:
Been watching good ole Leon Redbone singin and pickin guitar on youtube. He was performing Harvest Moon. His style is so much like my dads playing it's like sitting and listening to my father sing that ole song again.
Oh happy day..............I just switched from Knowledge to PBS in time to watch Joan Baez sing 'Forever Young' which tops my list of all-time favorite ballads.
Watching a documentary called Soundbreaking: The Recording Artist
Just got to see Tom Petty sing 'Free Fallin'.......rockin'.........

For me, Joan covered that song better than anyone else.
Bit I'm watching now is about George Martin and his influence on The Beatles
Righteous Brothers................You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'........sigh
Always liked the Righteous Brothers. The late Bobby Hatfields' version of unchained melody was one of my favorites. I use to play that one on my guitar.
All Aboard! The Country Bus
BBC4 is inviting viewers aboard for a very special two-hour journey through one of the most spectacular and beautiful bus routes in Britain.
The 'Northern Dalesman', as the bus on the route is called, has been rigged with specialist cameras as it travels on its journey, snaking across the iconic landscape of the Yorkshire Dales. Filmed in real time, the cameras capture the road unfurling, the passing scenery and the occasional chatter of local passengers.
The bus route begins in Richmond in North Yorkshire and takes viewers on a lush and varied ride, along a river valley thronged by blossoming hawthorn trees, through ancient mining villages and wild flower-filled meadows.
The bus climbs high into the Dales, vast and peaceful. As it slows down to allow sheep and their lambs to cross the road, the only sounds are the wind and the cry of curlews. And then the final stretch across cotton grass-covered moorland. With the mountain range known as the Three Peaks in the distance, the bus descends towards the striking 24-arch Ribblehead Viaduct, one of the great engineering achievements of the 19th century.
The programme features captions integrated into the landscape to provide details about the dramatic countryside through which the bus is passing - from aspects of the natural or geological environment to specific highlights of Britain's agricultural or industrial heritage, from the ancient stone hay barns that dot the landscape to the scars left behind by the lead mining of previous centuries.
So sit back, relax and enjoy the journey!

All Aboard! The Sleigh Ride (2015)
In a Slow TV Christmas special, BBC Four rigs a traditional reindeer sleigh with a fixed camera for a magical journey across the frozen wilderness of the Arctic. Following the path of an ancient postal route, the ride captures the traditional world of the Sami people who are indigenous to northern Scandinavia and for whom reindeer herding remains a way of life.
Filmed in Karasjok, Norway - 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle - this journey takes us through breathtaking scenery not normally glimpsed by anyone other than the Sami. Deliberately unhurried, the rhythmic pace of the reindeer guides us along an epic two-hour trip that takes us over undulating snowy hills, through birch forests, across a frozen lake and past traditional Sami settlements.
Facts about the reindeer, natural history, Sami culture and the Arctic climate are delivered by graphics and archive stills embedded into the passing landscape. With no commentary, music or presenter - just the crunching of snow and the soft tinkle of a reindeer bell - this hypnotic sleigh ride is an enchanting experience to put everyone in the Christmas spirit.
