Ive just watched The World At War on Yesterday channel.  The Allied Forces crossed the Rhine and bombarded Berlin, Hitler was hiding in his bunker and German soldiers were running for their lives, hands in the air, getting kicked up their backsides and rocks thrown at them as they did.  He shot himself through the temple and his missus, Eva Braun, took cyanide.

Spoilers ! FFS.

The section on Iran is something some folk should read /watch - always makes me chuckle when the 'stone age' bollocks gets spouted.

If you like the series, Max Hastings book Abyss is worth a read.

Watched the first two episodes of 'We Were The Lucky Ones' this evening. Very good.

Brings into perspective how idiotic some people are in bandying the 'h' word about.

Coma is corny crap.

If you've not watched Manhunt or Shogun, there are two treats waiting for you. We Were The Lucky Ones is good but a story we have seen many times before. Quite timely though.

Yes, me too. Slightly reminiscent of This Is England but for my money seems to capture the zeitgeist a good deal better. Superb soundtrack.

Bloody Zulu's split my old mans head open at that second replay against Fulham! Hoping they get smashed in this ;)

Watched Cleaning Up on Netflix.  It's a few years old but I'd never heard of it, but it had Sheridan Smith in it so thought I'd give it a go.  It's about a cleaner in the city who starts insider trading.  It's also fucking rubbish.

Was really looking forward to The Secret War on BBC. About an American documentary following IRA active service units in NI in 72 and how the film disappeared, collusion with the security services, etc

Remember watching a few years ago when the film first resurfaced. Shocking at the time. McGuiness prepping a car bomb, top IRA bods demonstrating how to use weapons, make car bombs, etc 

This was rehashed bollox desperately trying to find an angle on the original documentary. Shite

Deffo. Wait until the mentalist comes out of prison in series 3. You’ll want to top him yourself.

Finished that last night. Brilliant. Scary to think about how much stuff I was oblivious to. Particularly in the 80s. Also how much I didn’t know about Putin’s rise to power

Yes. Do not miss it. Uncle Bren the uber cunt worth the entrance money alone.
