I'd recommend Bluey for watching even without youngsters!

yes I've been known to watch Bluey on my own and I'm in no way ashamed of that.
Bandit is one of the greatest examples of modern masculinity in my opinion. Emotionally and practically available for his kids and wife but still firmly one of the lads

Only semi-questionable if you don’t have a kid and never watched it with one.
Next Goal Wins has appeared on Disney.
I don't imagine, for one second, it'll change the world but I'm only a few minutes in and it's already amused.

Watching a doc on the making of Frozen 2. It’s blowing my mind how many people are involved. And also how they appear to be writing it as they go along rather than writing it, animating and then done. Really interesting.
The original documentary about this is so good it feels like the film can only be a downgrade. Maybe I’ll give it a go though.
I think you have a problem.
The film is played out just for stereotypical laughs, and it's pretty good at that.
But you know who they're laughing with, (at) which ought to taks the edge off.
I'll definitely see if I have access to the doc though.
If you can remove yourself from the doc you'll be fine, it's basically footballs Cool Runnings.

Thanks for this - looks funny, happy for a remake of cool runnings tbh I loved it as a kid
It's available to stream on Now TV, or can be rented for £1.99 from Amazon or AppleTV (or bought for £2.99).

Nearly finished this and it really is mind blowing. I'd suggest anyone with any interest in Disney, film making or just seeing people with a passion achieve things should watch this. The female Director/writer is incredible as are the various heads of teams. Amazing.
I’ve got a feeling the documentary is on Sky Documentaries this week at some point. I found the treatment of one particular character fascinating - unexpected and very interesting element of a different culture.
They go there and that's probably the only aspect not played for laughs.

Disney+ is set to crack down on password-sharing.
Chief executive Bob Iger told CNBC the streaming platform would start taking action against the behaviour from June in some countries, before a "full rollout" in September.
Password sharing refers to users who share their log-in details with family and friends who are not in the same household, enabling them to access content without paying for it.
The crackdown would be "our first real foray into password sharing" to "turn this business into a business that we feel really good about", Mr Iger said.
Disney's decision comes after fellow streaming giant Netflix attributed a recent jump in subscribers to its own action on password sharing.

Shardlake is a four-part drama, based on the first novel in CJ Sansom’s critically acclaimed series, and is described as ‘an eerie whodunnit adventure, set in 16th century England during the dissolution of the monasteries’.
Shardlake’s sheltered life as a lawyer is turned upside down when Cromwell instructs him to investigate the murder of one of his commissioners at a monastery in the remote town of Scarnsea. The commissioner was gathering evidence to close the monastery and it is now imperative for Cromwell’s own political survival that Shardlake both solves the murder and closes the monastery. He leaves Shardlake in no doubt that failure is not an option. Cromwell insists that he is accompanied by Jack Barak to Scarnsea, where the duo are met with hostility, suspicion and paranoia by the monks who fear for their future and will seemingly stop at nothing to preserve their order.
Arthur Hughes plays Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer with an acute sense of justice and one of the few honest men in a world beset with scheming and plots. Shardlake works for Thomas Cromwell, played by Sean Bean the dangerous and all-powerful right-hand man to Henry VIII. Anthony Boyle plays the cocky Jack Barak, who leaves Shardlake unsure of whether he is an assistant, or Cromwell’s spy.
The series also stars Babou Ceesay as Abbot Fabian, Paul Kaye as Brother Jerome, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis as Alice Fewterer, Peter Firth as Norfolk, Matthew Steer as Goodhap, Brian Vernel as Brother Mortimus, Irfan Shamji as Brother Guy, David Pearse as Brother Edwig, Miles Barrow as Brother Gabriel, Mike Noble as Bugge and Kimberley Nixon as Joan.

^ I've seen better acting at the Peasmarsh Amateur Dramatic Society production of The Duchess of Duke Street.
Dismal+ really are stealing people's money. Worst streaming service of the lot imho.

Just had an email to advise my D+ subscription is going up from £79.90 a year to £109.90 in May. They can swivel on that. Time to cancel and await an offer.
