    This is a good interview with Dick Van Dyke. I didn't know he had a drinking problem. And what happened to talk shows like this? Save for Letterman's recent Netflix thing. Dick Cavett's still around too.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XawJPRjKQvQ

    I've seen a few of these Cavett interviews on Youtube over the years.

    A really good show. Just last week I saw one with Kirk Douglas talking about John Wayne and Richard Harris about his haunted house. :)

    Gaybo and Parkinson where the last of the great chat show hosts.

    Some very high profile content there, wow. They still have a mountain to climb to catch Netflix though.

    So they call it HBO Max then only announce originals, CW shows and Friends? No HBO series?

    And does this mean The Nevers has moved from being HBO?

    I've watched the first series and it's very good. It's one case per season show so don't go in expecting a procedural.

    Maybe it was the good wife. I thought he was a more action kind of guy.

    Married 5 times, talk about not getting it right. Eeek.

    They are a far better quality than the ones I’ve seen in the past.

    I assume some work was put into cleaning these as they don’t look like video taken from a VHS tape.

    No spoilers for season 1 or 2 please.

    Is there going to be a third season of Mars (National Geographic)?

    I can't see any information online as to whether the story has been concluded or whether it is or isn't getting another season.

    Season 2 finished airing last December.

    If no announcement has been by now is it likely to be returning? I assume if it was in production the word would be out?

    So with SDCC this week, early previews are starting to come out for pilots. So far we have Batwoman and Pennyworth. Batwoman seems mixed and Pennyworth mostly positive.
    I'm sure we'll get more

    This is very cool. Channel 4 are running a realtime stream of the moon landing from 1969.
    In orbit and on descent now.

    The 'one small step' was 6h39 minutes after the landing.

    Audio only at the moment, but I'm sure it will switch to video when there is something to show.

    The comments are hilarious. At least once a minute, someone asks if this is live. :)

    Religious nuts are saying God will judge us all.

    A lot of commenters saying it's fake.

    OK I think it's minute for minute with the events in 1969. So the 'eagle has landed' will be 9:17pm and 'one small step' will be 3:56am.

    I think it's one of the dumbest ideas anyone has ever had for a show - and I include Big Brother in that.

    That is a series from the late 90's.

    They've just released remastered in HD.
