I thought we were meant to have good TV when it was cold and wet outside? The schedulers don’t agree, showing the same old dross this weekend – with one exception.
TV PICK
The Act of Killing, Sky Atlantic, 10.15pm Saturday
It’s not supposed to be easy viewing, but this documentary following Indonesian death squads recreate horrors from their recent past is the favourite for the Oscar and Bafta Best Doc award< It also topped the Guardian's films of 2013 list. It won't be for everyone.
CATCH UP PICKS
If you missed anything in the week, now’s your chance to find it on iPlayer, 4OD etc. We thought BBC2 had a great line up on Wednesday so try The Restaurant Man, Line of Duty or Inside No.9.
Did we mention House of Cards season 2 is now available on Netflix? Possibly. Yeah OK we did. A marathon viewing on Sunday is being planned already!
WHY NOT TRY…
Want to avoid the gogglebox? Weather forcast is rubbish so why not have your own beer festival? Supermarkets and off licenses are stocking a wider range of craft beers than ever before. Get a range of single bottles of beers, then share each bottle out with everyone present.
For a good price you can pick up Brewdog’s US influenced Punk IPA in many Sainsburys, Tesco and Waitrose stores. In fact there are so many options now you could just take a random selection to see if you find a new favourite.
