What's on the TV today?

Starting today, a four-part series Jungle Warfare, on PBS America daily at 4.15pm and repeated again at 8.40pm. The whole series can be seen in one go on Sunday 27th from 5.20pm.

I think part one deals mainly with the war against the Japanese and the following three concern how jungle warfare tactics were used in various post-war conflicts, Vietnam, Malaya...

 

Might give that a whirl Martin. Cheers as always.

 

Hoping it’s another PBS good ‘un.

 

I thought this would be well worth a watch, albeit not WW2.

Tonight, 9pm, BBC2, Helmand: Tour of Duty.

 

The programme will be a hard watch Martin.

Always remember, never forget,

Jim.

 

I hear you Jim, that it will.

 

Cheers, I just put it on iplayer now.

 

Thanks Martin...just like Owen I will give that a watch too.

 

On tonight at 10.00pm on BBC2.

{ BBC2 showed "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" and "I Know Where I'm Going" yesterday afternoon, so should be on the iplayer now. }

" Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger -

Eminent American film-maker Martin Scorsese shares his lifelong love affair with the films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Drawing on a rich array of archive material, including their major works such as The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes, Scorsese explores the collaboration between the quintessentially English Powell and the Hungarian Pressburger and how their partnership had a major influence on his own body of work, including such classics as Taxi Driver and Raging Bull."

Apologies if you cannot hear it?! Perhaps someone can post it correctly, thanks

 

I just saw this Lesley, whilst flicking through the channels. Jacob is such a credit to both himself and of course his parents.

 

Nice picture of Jacob with Dwayne Johnson AKA the Rock from tonight's show:

The cat.

 

I can’t remember a Family at War cat, but that’s my memory for you. I’ll have a look out for it in this rerun.

Most famous British tv cat, apart from Arthur (who here remembers Arthur?), is the Coronation Street puss:



And my own favourite Cat? Peter Bonetti, of course.
