Is it time for a recommendations post? (205/365)

I don't think I've done one of these for a while. What have you been watching/reading/listening to lately?

I haven't actually watched much lately. We are working our way through Midsomer Murders from the beginning on Saturdays; I'm still watching classic Doctor Who on and off (more off than on) and we're also rewatching This Life (all on Britbox; I've also watched several episodes of Captain Pugwash which is charming), but nothing new. And I watched Dirty Dancing for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago, and liked it much more than I thought I would.

Mostly we have been watching the Clone Wars cartoon series. It's... a lot more complex than I thought it would be, although the voice acting is a bit patchy (Palpatine, in particular, does not sound anything like Ian McDiarmaid). And we're rewatching "Trials of Life" on Amazon, and it really is extremely good.

I also enjoyed the first episode of "Secrets of the Tube," but that really does depend on you being interested in geeky details of the London Underground.
