    Watched the Venice one - wonderful!
    Lots of views of Venice, with a bit of history thrown in and some lovely gardens.
    Monty looked so happy and relaxed too.

    @Penny_Forthem. Thank you for letting us know. Really enjoyed the programme and learnt a lot. Beautiful place with some nice people.
    Was delighted to see them advertise afterwards that Peaky Blinders is back soon for another series. Will look forward to that especially Cillian Murphy!  :)

    Watching Frederick Ashton’s Tales of Beatrix Potter,  still as enthralling as it was 50 years ago. I’ve seen this many times and still love it.

    I caught Kate Humble's Coastal Britain (Ch 5 Friday) on catchup. She was on Holy island, Anglesey, a part of the world I thought I knew well, but even so, I was surprised to learn things. And a friend was in it, so it made it more personal. Recommend it for scenery, plant and bird life.

    Yes Penny I was the same, having been so many times (usually just to South Stack or The Range) but not strayed too far from the beaten track. But I'm afraid I can only take so much of Kate Humble constantly laughing at her own comments and saying "extraordinary" every other word.

    I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful

    BBC1 this evening at 7pm ‘The Green Planet’ - Attenborough. Really looking forward to it.

    I quite agree @VictorMeldrew, but  sometimes the scenery is far more magnificent than Kate Humble thinks she is!! Actually, quite often it is.

    We watched The Green Planet this evening.  Really good, but I would prefer a bit more in depth understanding of the relationships between plants in one place rather than whizzing about from rain forest t rain forest.

    Not a programme but Wordle is unexpectedly fun. Free. A new word each day. Rather addictive. Absurdly pleasing to guess the word in four gos.

    Usually in 3/4 @Fire,  I slipped up yesterday and didn’t get it in the 6th go!  Got the starting letter wrong, bad guess.
