Each month we discuss two different television programmes, that have been chosen at the previous meeting.  In addition, we aim to give recommendations for about other shows that might well be worth watching.

A brief summary of the views considered In last month's meeting where we discussed, Michael Palin in Venuezla and After the Flood, series 2.

Overall, we enjoyed Michael’s dry sense of humour. and apprecaited that his team made documentaries in what we would think of as dangerous countries. We compared the documentaries that Michael Portillo has made in much safer places – and much brighter clothes!

Whilst for After The Flood, which was felt to be somewhat of a curate's egg, good in parts but somewhat difficult to follow without having watched series 1. Also the final episode seemed a bit contrived with needing to tie up so many loose threads that had been left along the way in the series.
