I missed the first series Laura so it's hard to do catch up
Have you been watching Blindspot on Sky Living, I love it https://www.sky.com/watch/channel/sky-living/blindspot



Season two was better than one IMO - they're not at all related Tess other than having the same lead characters in them. I really enjoyed the latest series.

Don't really watch Sky so don't know about Blindspot.

Not everyone's cup of tea I know but I've been watching a series on Iplayer called "The Nazi's -a warning from history".

It's in five parts and was first shown in 1997. It's very detailed and shows the circumstances at the time that allowed them to come to power and how events evolved over the period between the end of the first world war and the end of the second world war. Such a short period of time for such cataclysmic events to happen. (Only 27 years).

I'm up to part four of five.

It's absolutely fascinating if you're a history geek like me. Chilling too.

I love history as well Laura, I knew it was on but did not get time to watch it. Do people learn from history or do they quickly forget . Not so long ago I met a girl who told me she visited one of the concentration while on vacation & was not sure if the whole thing had actually happened & that it could have been all propaganda , needless to say I was left speechless . You can never underestimate people & what they will believe at any given time.

And there's such a danger in that. As time goes on and people directly involved pass away, then the reality of it dims and it becomes more of a "story" than factual evidence. The stupidity of people never fails to amaze me Tess and no some people don't learn from history because they don't want to. So I believe it could absolutely happen again. Well some of it is happening again now isn't it.

I want to visit one of the concentration camps too. I might go on my own. I understand it's not something many people want to do but I believe you can't learn unless you witness.

Anyway Sorry if a bit heavy for a Sunday morning and not appropriate for on here. I'll move on now. It's on I player if you do want to catch up Tess.

A lot of people have never heard of the Bosnian war & that happened in the 1990's more or less on our own doorstep which was not that long ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_War

I like Mrs Brown - we watched this last night - bit hit and miss. Some bits were funny, some were very clunky.
