Banned from screening in Tasmania, 6 part true crime investigation Undercurrent screens on Seven.
Sandy Bay, Hobart, Tasmania. January 27, 2009.
This is the story of Undercurrent, a true-crime series in the tradition of The Jinx and Making a Murderer. An active, unfolding investigation with twists, revelations and cliff-hangers. A series with the potential to divide opinion and spark debate across the country, right up to the dramatic final episode when the threads come together and the truth is revealed. Undercurrent is a CJZ production for Channel Seven.
Bodyguard is 'CONFIRMED for season two with Richard Madden to return as PS David Budd in hugely popular Jed Mercurio directed drama' Actor Richard, 36, played the role of PS David Budd in the 2018 show which was created and written by Line of Duty's Jed Mercurio Now Jed has finished writing Line of Duty season six and Richard has completed filming Eternals, the pair can start work on the follow up together Season one followed David Budd and Home Secretary Julia Montague (Keeley Hawes) after he is appointed as her dedicated Principal Protection Officer Excluding live events, Bodyguard became the most watched programme of 2018, with 17 million people tuning in to see the final episode
I must have fairly similar taste in TV as I have tended to enjoy various of your recommendations.
The latest ones have been:-
Vigil. Been quite gripping so far. Not great, but definitely good. Looking forward to the finale.
Annika. Keeps reminding me of Death in Paradise, though don't know why. Interplay between Nicola Walker & her daughter is wonderful. Needs another series to flesh out the other characters.

Yeah, I have enjoyed Vigil, you can rely on the Line of Duty mob, and Annika has been ok. Silent Witness keeps plodding on, Manhunt, The Night Stalker has been good. I watched series 1 of Manhunt, and enjoyed that, before starting on the second series. I have also been watching a fair bit of true crime on Discovery plus.
Just found this on Sky Documentaries a bit of easy viewing but with some fascinating stories attached to the people who have owned/stayed in some of the worlds top hotels.
Richard E. Grant’s Hotel Secrets is a high-end, luxury travel series that tells the fascinating, scandalous and often downright debauched stories of some of the world’s most famous hotels. Across eight episodes this glossy, often irreverent, series takes Richard from New York to Paris, London to LA, Vegas to Ireland and the French Riviera, all in the name of digging deep into the history of landmark hotels such as the Savoy in London, the George V in Paris, the Waldorf Astoria in New York and LA’s unique Chateau Marmont to name but a few.
Richard’s energy, enthusiasm, depth of knowledge and infectious desire to ask the unaskable has created a series rich in fascinating facts, laugh out loud revelations and top drawer names from Britt Ekland to Donald Trump, hotelier Andre Balaz to Salvador Dali’s muse, and top chefs, designers and hotel insiders.
Shot like the inside pages of Condé Nast Traveller, Hotel Secrets is a stunning blend of archive, interview and experiential moments where Richard digs deep into the psychology of what makes people behave badly in hotels, right through to learning how to lay a table to the exacting standards of the Ritz.
“IT'S UTTERLY FRIVOLOUS, BUT HE'S ENJOYING HIMSELF SO MUCH IT SEEMS CHURLISH NOT TO SHARE HIS GLEE.”
Gill Crawford Radio Times.
“RICHARD E GRANT'S HOTEL SECRETS IS PRETTY CLOSE TO A TELEVISION EQUIVALENT OF ONE OF THOSE HIP HOTEL COFFEE-TABLE BOOKS - AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A BIT OF VICARIOUS GLAMOUR. BUT GRANT’S PRESENCE, MISCHIEVOUS AND VULGAR IN JUST THE RIGHT WAY, MAKES IT WORK.”
