watched part of the Roosevelt series on PBS - very interesting how history proves them to be great successes while today's revisionist right wing "historians" claim they were failures
Roosevelts - Part II
Very interesting and well documented history of the advancements made in society thanks to
Progressivism which, strangely enough, was a Republican invention.

Just got finished watching The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. Great movie, but there was a LOT of dubbed voices in it. The dvd also had 7 deleted scenes on it, that were in Italian as that was the only release to have those scenes in it while in theaters.
I watched the first episode of the BBC's new drama The Driver on Tuesday night.
David Morrissey plays a Manchester taxi driver who becomes the driver for a gangster
The Driver (BBC1) is a new three-part drama starring the brilliant David Morrissey, without his eyepatch and a few guns slung over his shoulder as he's best known just now for his role as The Governor in The Walking Dead, the new series of which returns to Sky in October.
Taxi driver Vince McKee (Morrissey) and his estranged wife Ros have blamed themselves ever since their son Tim cut ties with the family, and now they live separate lives. Vince's day-to-day existence picking up fares on the streets of Manchester takes an unusual turn when he accepts an offer from a criminal gang organised by his ex-con mate Colin (Ian Hart, a real-life childhood friend of Morrissey's), who has resurfaced after six years in prison.
Although initially thrilled at becoming a driver for gang leader The Horse (Irish actor Colm Meaney, widely known for playing Miles O'Brien in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, who puts on a fairly convincing Northern England accent) because of the good money he gets paid, once the criminals arrange their major job McKee soon regrets what he's got himself into and wishes he could have his old life back.....
Colm Meaney is a man called Horse
Written by Bafta-winning Danny Brocklehurst (Accused) and Jim Poyser, it also stars Claudie Blakley, Shaun Dingwall and former Corrie star Sacha Parkinson.

Here's a TV series which I find very enjoyable, the second series of which has just started on TV channel Dave:
Dave Gorman: Modern Life Is Goodish
Comedian Dave Gorman thinks modern life is good...ish.
However, tired of endlessly being sold stuff he doesn't need, feeling manipulated by the media and harassed by technology, he's become slightly obsessive about the 'ish'. But instead of letting it drive him mad he's decided to fight back. A bit. Sort of. Ish. So he'll be sharing his observations and venting his frustrations in mischievous shows for Dave.
Presented using his own unique blend of stand-up and documentary comedy, it's a whole new take on the things we normally take for granted.
Whether it's idiocy on the internet, ill-thought-out technological solutions, unquestioned advertising logic, online 'news', one-click agreements to pages of terms and conditions, the cult of celebrity, Lord Sugar, the new Blister Pack Economy, or even (somewhat distressingly) discovering exactly where on the A-Z lists of fame he resides, Dave Gorman does what we don't: he stops and actually looks at things. And asks questions. And judging by some of the things he discovers, perhaps the people churning this stuff out ought to stop and look at what they're doing from time to time too. Because there's a hell of a lot of it that makes no sense at all.
The series is loosely based on Dave Gorman's internationally critically acclaimed live show, PowerPoint Presentation, which went on a three-time-extended nationwide tour of the UK including multiple London dates at the Hammersmith Apollo and the Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre.
Join Dave, on Dave, for a journey of intellectual curiosity and a healthy amount of humour as he holds up a mirror to the countless questionable things we're all exposed to but just seem to accept as ok.
In episode 4 of series 2, which was shown last night, the award-winning comic opines on life's little oddities, including micro-chipped cats, over-familiarity in coffee shops, self-driving cars, QR codes and cybersquatting!
