[Is it PotG?]

The Distant Barking of Dogs.

Ten-year-old Oleg lives with his grandma in eastern Ukraine, close to the front line of the war between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian government forces. His village, Hnutove, is just a mile from the war zone. Whilst friends and family have been able to flee, Oleg has no other place to go.

This Storyville documentary follows him over the course of a year, from 2016 to 2017, examining what it is like to grow up in the midst of armed conflict.

Amazing piece of work, all the more poignant.

Legends of Welsh Sport - Norton's Coin.


If horse racings not your thing, please don't be put off.

As with all good sports documentaries it's not about the event, there's so much more.


Deffo worth 30 minutes of your time.

A reminder, a new series of Beck is on BBC4 at 9.

Alongside David Morrissey is a stellar ensemble... ...and Stephen Tompkinson.

I first read that as "...and Stephen Merchant" and wondered how his character would fit in...

Just noticed the spectacularly dark Hinterland is now on iPlayer.

For Nordic noir fans not having had the pleasure, you'll love it.

The Outlaws is back for series 2.

Just halfway through ep1 and already had a few good laughs.

 

[Is it PotG?]

A really good thriller thingy from Wales, well worth a punt.

Done the first two episodes, if possible, it's improved on the first series. Christopher Walken excellent again .

Don’t watch a lot of TV series but really enjoyed this so far. Reminds me of a less grim Red Riding. Still quite grim mind.

Just finished this, the first Scandi thriller set in The Faroes.

A little formulaic, but pretty good.

On the Beeb in early July I believe.
