Digging up a Roman villa in the Cotswolds. They find a mosaic floor but it turns out Christians had vandalised it years before. No wonder they used to feed them to the lions.
Followed by 'Horizon' about hair. Some young bloke (who has a very full head of hair) is morbidly worried about his receding temples. 'It's the big problem in my life' he says.
Next week they will be investing why youth is wasted on the young.
The Yangtse Incident (1957) stars Richard Todd and Bill Hartnell. Bernard Cribbins made his film debut too. Super film about the Chinese People's Liberation Army attacking HMS Amethyst.

What next is my question? I've never seen an episode of "The west wing"... I watched the first series of "breaking bad" a couple of years ago and that seemed good so could be an option....
Any recommendations folks?
Still working through M.A.S.H, with a long way to go!
"The Wire" is very good indeed. All six (I think) serieses, but do tackle them in numerical order. "Breaking Bad" is meant to be excellent too - it's next on my list. My kids also rave over "House of Cards" (the US version, not the UK one). I would add "The Killing" esp series 1. Have fun!Quote:

Jez,
Yer in for a treat.
West Wing's awesome, huge fan, love it..especially when Alan Alda (Mash) get's involved.
Breaking Bad gets better, better then EVEN better.
Best series I've probably seen is The Wire?
Probably the best TV ever written imo, closeley followed by 'Oz'.

HBO at its best...Shown once back on Channel 4 in the wee hours of the morning...its brutal adult drama.
The Wire:
Examination of the American law enforcement 'ecosystem'...each series examines a different aspect.
Quality seeps out of it, Shakespearean in scope...genuinely gripping and 'gotta know what happens next' feckin' amazing.
