Not on my BBC2 - my guides say keep the aspidistra flying at 23:20.

Missed it last night (knew it was on at 9:00, but watching some other
c**p), so cheers for the Heads up for tonight and Saturday night tho...

Odd, the Radio Times says the same thing (aspidistra).

To be honest I thought the doc was crap. It was shot in a bitty handheld
style that makes me feel ill. The woman herself I found to be shallow and
aimless. He photography was okay if you like the style but IMO it was an
hour too long ;-)

Yeah - I had seen her on interviews talking about her photogtaphy before
and wasn't too bothered about it.  Still worth a watch in recognition of
Pentax loyalty if nothing else...

I hope I'm not the only one to get incredibly annoyed by producers 
skimping on the cost of steadicam operators and rigs (or maybe just 
tripods) and then marketing their programmes as edgy...

The worst offender is a program called 'its nice to be xxx...' which the
missus sometimes tries to watch where they look at the lifestyles of
Rich  Famous.  All zooms and pans and flicking all over the place.
Cookery programs often do the same now, although never as bad as this
program...

NYPD Blue was an early adopter - I found it unwatchable.

There was an article in one of the magazines that came with a Sunday
newspaper a week ago (Telegraph?) and it was most certainly a well used and
battered 67 she was using in that.

Just watched it, without knowing these were posted.  She has a huge 67 
system, big enough to be pulled around on a cart by her assistant and 
she also uses a Mamiya Press, some Polaroid model, a 35mm/DSLR and a Holga.

Quote of the show, referring to the Holga: You couldn't do a whole 
shoot with this  Little does she know.
