BBC Four: Super Rich: The Greed Game

"Banking common sense had been abandoned". This week on BBC Four Robert Peston looked at how the super rich have helped to cause the credit crunch. Many of Britain's super wealthy became rich through the supply of credit increasing due to low US interest rates, allowing a huge borrowing spree. In an attempt to make more money, individuals with terrible credit histories were allowed to borrow money...

Railways on the telly

There were a couple of decent programmes on the telly last night both on BBC 4. One was Julia Bradbury in Railway Walks . This was the second of four and was set in Snowdonia. Nothing flashy just nice views a few interesting snippets and a nice way to spend half an hour. The previous one the peak express is still watchable via the I-Player (if you live in the UK. Crime writer Andrew Martin's programme...

Last night's television: Cutting Edge: Ninety Naps a Day, Channel 4 Timeshift: Between the Lines, BBC4

Ninety Naps a Day (as far as I could make out the number was arbitrary, chosen for its alliteration) trod a fine line between the tragic and the hilarious, neatly encapsulated in a scene where Christine, the wife of a narcoleptic, talked of the appalling loneliness of 38 years of marriage. In the foreground, Kenny snored quietly: "He may as well not be here half the time". Kenny started up: "What...

Jamie's Ministry of Food, Channel 4 Beautiful People, BBC2 Ian Hislop Goes Off The Rails, BBC4

Unlikely, but Jamie Oliver has started a pyramid scheme – Jamie's Ministry of Food, Channel 4. He's gone to Rotherham to show a dozen kitchen-dodgers how to cook healthy food, on the basis that they will pass it on to friends, who will then pass it on in turn. A bit like gonorrhoea, but wonderful. Some of the families Jamie meets eat nothing but kebabs and chocolate; their children are sallow and...

The Avengers, The Prince of Darkness, Two Uninspiring Veeps, David Cameron’s Missing Plan and a Dashing Secret Liberal

A relative quickie today, as (for a change) I’m feeling rather under the weather (for a bigger change, I’m well-wrapped-up). I hope mainly to be asleep this evening, but if you’re insomniac BBC4 brings two episodes of The Avengers tonight. At 11.35 there’s Silent Dust , a bitter ecological fable with some memorable imagery but an uncertain tone, then at 12.25 the rather better Room Without a View :...

Hockney and lenses

This is an advert for something you can’t see, unless it’s repeated on BBC4 some time this week, if you can get BBC4….. (I checked BBC iplayer and youtube, to no avail.) I know that the thought of a documentary about art might not strike you as utterly compelling, but that’s what it was - both “compelling” and a “documentary about art”. It was an old Omnibus programme made by David Hockney. He argued...
