What are you watching on TV? 2

Finished the 'Race across the World' last night. While i've no doubt that a lot goes on unseen in helping the contestants get from A to B, it certainly makes for enjoyable TV viewing. And the result of this one went down to the wire. Won't say more in case anyone is still watching.

I recently watched Manhunt, which is based on the true story of what happened to John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated Abraham Lincoln on Apple TV. I thought it was quite good. I've also recently watched Franklin on the same channel. Michael Douglas plays Benjamin Franklin, when he stayed in France during the American war of independence. It was very good. Also, I've just finished watching Under the Banner of Heaven on ITV's website. It stars Andrew Garfield as Detective Jeb Pyre. It is a bit strange, if you don't understand the Mormon culture and part of it is about Bringham Young and Joseph Smith. I had to look up about what happened to the brothers in the end, though Andrew Garfield was very good in it.

Watched the 'weekend with Alan Titchmarsh' on Sunday. Andrew Castle was on, talking about why he's disappeared recently. Basically he said that constantly having to present a current affairs news programme, which he said is focused towards only negative news, has taken a toll and he needed a break. It's giving him chance to refocus and he won't rule out a return to mediaa work in future.
He didn't mention about Tennis work.

given the recent comments about Mr Castle's tennis credentials by a certain ex-aussie player, I guess he'd have preferred to do less Tennis work !!

I've been watching the reboot of Quantum Leap on Channel 5. I know it was, recently, cancelled and there won't be a third series and I could see straightaway during the first episode as to why it wouldn't be coming back.
