Anyone else watching this? Superb so far, with a 9.6 IMDB rating to date.
Lovely bit of squirrel. Sorry. Can't get past the fact Martin is in it.
Recording it at present, currently on S2 of the Handmaid's Tale.
NB on all 4 catch up Walter Presents has some outstanding foreign dramas, just about to start Mr Avila S2
I don't know who that is, and it's bugging me.
This is a superb bit of telly and lifts the lid on a story that was covered up at the time.
Apparently, you can do a bus tour of nearby Pripyat, a place where the whole town were evacuated never to return.
Ever watched Kaboul Kitchen? Loved that.
I was wondering if there was any poetic license being used. If it's sticking to the truth, particularly the potential for a much, much larger incident ensuing (rendering Ukraine and Belarus (pop. 60m) uninhabitable for 100+ years) then blimey. And there was me seeing it on the news aged 13 and, whilst harbouring a little concern at the time, pretty much getting on with things.

Correct, you can take a tour as I was there just before Easter and it was really interesting.
Also within the Exclusion Zone was a top secret radar base which was the most advanced of it's kind at the time. Obviously it had to be abandoned but that actual receiving radar is still there and it is huge.
But getting to roam inside the buildings in the ghost-town of Pripyat was something else and they took as close as they could to the remains of the reactor.
Albion & England forever.
