Yesterday channel "Abandoned Engineering" is an interesting watch.

Also Great British Railway Journeys hosted by Michael Portillo, great viewing.

Any recommendations lads...
 
That's TV 1 & 2 run old TV series, particularly comedy, some of which are worth watching.
I noticed they were running League of Gentlemen the other day, but it seemed to be a recent series which I didn't know existed, with lots of updated scenarios.

League of Gentlemen is absolute quality fair play 👍

I don't watch a lot of TV but I've loved watching Abandoned Engineering since it started in 2016 and occasionally catch up with a few episodes I missed on UKTV Play. Some extraordinary and fascinating things just lying around or hidden away on this planet! I've even visited a few of them when I've been travelling in the area, most recently the Rajamaki flak towers in Finland when I was there last May literally just a few hundred metres off my route back to Helsinki airport.

What is freeview? Have you got to have a specific box for that or can i get it on Virgin Media?
 
On BBC player I recently watched an episode of Storyville titled "Our Dad the Nazi Killer".

We'll all have heard our fill of Nazi atrocities but this has some really revealing angles on what unfolded post-war. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
