South of the River (TV Series 2021) - IMDb

South of the River: With Tammy Abraham, Michail Antonio, Ebere Eze, Rio Ferdinand. South of the River tells the stories of some of English football's most high-profile young players who all hail from South London, including Jadon Sancho and Declan Rice.

m.imdb.com

Watching south of the river about the amount of footballing talent that comes from south London. 14% of English players in the Premier league come from a 10 mile radius in south London. On Netflix, I think one of the things I love most about football is the way the poorest youngsters can change their lives and those of their family.

It wouldn't surprise me if 14% of the UK population live in that same area.

Enyoyed part 3 of Blue lights last night.It's the Belfast setting that makes it for me.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoed the Bob Marley & reggae repeats on BBC4 last night (and in the early hours).

Race across Canada. Really enjoyed it although I guess we should take all reality tv with a pinch of salt!

Just liked the scenery more than the ‘drama ‘

Rise and Fall - have really enjoyed this, right up to the finale. Having the evicted rulers from the last red room choose the winner seemed wrong to me.

It's been the weakest / least interesting series yet. How did Ladi and his daughter make it out of the national park!?

I'm glad we're not the only ones still trying to work that out. Totally agree it's not as good as previous serious but great scenery make it bearable.

100% I've never been that interested in Canada but the scenery is incredible and such contrasting places. The lack of "different" travel options makes it a bit less entertaining.

Channel 5 (my5) - just watched part 1 (Jungle) - absolute gem of a documentary.

Fabio, Grooverider, Goldie, Kenny Ken, Ragga Twins, DJ Rap, Shy FX, MC Skibadee, the best times

I just liked looking at the scenery. As I said it all felt very unbelievable in terms of narrative but so is all reality tv

Scenery is stunning. Not as dramatic as the previous series in South America though

Do agree that a lot of what happens appears to be staged, and doesn’t always make sense.

Personally I find the participants quite irritating… with exception of ‘man like’ Mobeen - who seems like the nicest bloke you could ever meet.

I’ve travelled across Canada coast to coast some years ago, so brings back some great memories

Watched the new Essex Boys documentary over the weekend.Was pretty good and it's definitely a case that has held its fair share of interest over the years

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoyed the latest episode of Blue Lights on the box last night.

The Essex Murders on Sky Documentaries

As feared it was full of gangster types embellishing their own images.
