Cold War, Hot Jets - iPlayer.

Interesting. Besides, I'll watch anything thats got wings attached...

Some of those Prime Rock docos are just great.

 

My personal favorite was Genesis and the Beach Boys was pretty good too.

 

The Pink Floyd one was very emotional.

Struggle Street series 2 started last night on SBS here in Oz. 

A kiwi family are on it.

Eye-opening for some.

Inside Chernobyl's Mega Tomb - BBC4 iPlayer

Documentary which follows the construction of a trailblazing 36,000-tonne steel structure to entomb the ruins of the nuclear power plant destroyed in the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. It films close up with the team of international engineers as they race to build the new structure before Chernobyl's original concrete sarcophagus - the hastily built structure that covers the reactor - collapses.
Built to last just 30 years, the temporary sarcophagus is now crumbling, putting the world at risk of another release of radioactive dust. Radiation levels make it impossible for workers to build the new shelter directly over the old reactor, so engineers are erecting the new megastructure - taller than the tower of Big Ben and three times heavier than the Eiffel Tower - to one side and will then face the challenge of sliding the largest object ever moved on land into place over the old reactor.

Hopefully for him his predictions will be a bit more accurate the second time round!

Icarus. Fascinating look into the world of Russian doping. Some of it is full on KGB spy stuff. Very entertaining and well worth a watch. It's currently on Netflix.

Dial111: Started watching Dirty Money on Netflix

Corporate greed and capitalism, nuff said.

Good watch.

I uts enoyed wtahcing Flinbt Town.  Not a cheery watch, pretty grim.  But provided some insight.  If you liked 'the wire', then it's worth a look.

Yep, all of them are worth watching, although the one on the maple syrup theft sits a bit weirdly alongside the others.

Particularly enjoyed the episode on Scott Tucker and the payday loan scandal. I'd never heard of him or the scandal prior to this. He, his wife and mates certainly make a good attempt at playing innocent! Interested to read later that Tucker has earlier convictions that they didn't mention in the doco.
