good man Jeff Randall and one of the few in mainstream economic journalism that gets it.

I recently joined Netflix and there are some good documentaries on there. Recommended.

Second that, been watching this for the last 3 years and always eagerly awaiting each new episode, such a quality show, I would even go as far to say it the best TV drama, TV show even, ever!! I don't generally like TV, mostly stick to films and documentaries but this is gem.

I'm going to say it better than The Wire :o

If you haven't seen it watch 2-3 episodes and let us know what your thoughts are ;)

Wish I could get faster Internet where I live so I can use online streaming. I just use Lovefilm and have to say I find their service very good with a good range of non mainstream films and documentaries.

Out of the ashes is worth a watch, it is about the Afghanistan cricket team and I can't remember if I have said before on here but TT closer to the edge is excellent.

My daughter is now into economics having watched this with me last night. I gave her a couple of books from my Keynes archive. She's more interested in the historical aspects, but you never know!

I researched Keynes extensively in the early 90's.

I watched Mars Curiosity on Horizon last night (it was a repeat) but worth watching on Iplayer.
Absolutely amazing stuff!
