Louis Theroux's Forbidden America. The episode about porn, "pegging," who knew. How to keep a straight face while talking to three scantily clad women, all wearing giant - size dildos, or how to keep your dick limp.

Giant sized? Looked average size to me :ph34r:

The Titan sub thing yesterday was interesting , but boy are they dragging it with 2 episodes .. problem watching it with hindsight is we know they were dead in minutes after the event , so dragging it out speculating on what they did for 50 hours trapped in a submersible that was bolted shut , is a little pointless and also very claustrophobic

was a good day for documentaries last night , Why Planes Vanish , (mainly about MH370) was also interesting 

long story short is some armchair detective seems to have found a way to pickup whispers in Short wave radio bursts caused by planes passing through them and using that data , has located the wreckage as being slightly outside the zone that search and rescue ships were looking in .. and more importantly he claims to have it down to something like a 30 mile search  radius 

If , they can validate his research , then they may well go take another look

The Push: Murder on the Cliff on Channel 4 is a two part documentary following the trial of a man accused of murdering his wife by pushing her off a cliff. It is a tough watch at times but well worth watching.

Finished "The Rise and Fall of Boris Johnson". Obviously made me very angry, but at the end of the 4th episode I said to my wife that they've left out so much. They could have made 40 episodes, so much was left out or barely covered.

All that Labour need to do at the next election is get people to watch this. Every single Tory knew what he was, and yet they went along with him every step of the way.

Special mentions to Hancock and Javid for continuing to lie about having morals and being ignored. Words removed.

Documentary on BBC 1 panorama 8pm last night. 'The mobile home swindle'. It happened to me. Nothing will be dome about it these Gypsy owners are fleecing people of their life savings.

this was exactly my experience too. tried their best to introduce some drama and tension but failed fairly miserably. could have been a 15 minute doc. Also a disappointing lack of original or unseen footage.

I think it was much more fascinating watching it all play out at the time

I Enjoyed this. A fascinating insight in to a real life court room case along with cultural values/differences of a women trying to live a western lifestyle and then being suppressed.

Yes it was interesting. I felt so sorry for the victims family and when the dad showed the first bit of emotion we had seen from him when the verdict was given I found that hit hard as up until that point he had just sat quietly and come across as a quiet and considered man but clearly he was just bottling things up. .

Watched Louis Theroux: Dark States, Murder in Milwaukee. Just heart breaking how African Americans have become almost desensitized to the murder rate amongst their own people. 

Louis has that uncanny ability of being able to disarm the most hostile of nature's.

Fascinating insight into working class Northern Britain in the early 70s

Spectacularly ill-timed by Pilger in full demagogue mode, complete with lugubrious voice-over.

1971 was a high-point in terms of full employment, and coincidentally, it was conflict in Palestine which would trigger the oil-crisis and the subsequent hubris of the unions would lead to Thatcher and Blair.

Really, sorry to hear that. Gypsy's, Roma, Irish Travellers are above the law. Nobody does anything to stop them because its racist. The big problem is their culture of avoiding education at all costs, including parents taking their bright, intelligent kids out of school so they can enter a life of poverty and crime. If their kids were taken off them and given a proper chance in life the circle would end.
