Things to watch that aren't usually there
Mar. 27th, 2020 10:49 amThough first, a low ( hoisting of the black and yellow flag. )
Whoever manages to be up to date with everything that they might watch on TV/the internet? I certainly don't. And coronavirus is only making it worse, because a whole rack of art and media companies are making material available for free online. So here's a few I'll be availing myself of. I can access all of these in the UK, but some may not be available outside it.
Norway's state media 24 hour Maine Coon kitten cam: https://www.nrk.no/alltidsammen/ Talk about lifting the national mood! You can stream cats all day and night. (During the day there seems to be great Norwegian sports highlights* at the weekend, radio in the week, but you can click on "Alltid katt")
Previously mentioned in this space, Opera North's amazing semi-staged Ring Cycle was my introduction to Wagner: https://www.operanorth.co.uk/the-ring-cycle/
The National Theatre will be streaming a play a week starting on 2nd April with One Man, Two Guv'nors, which I'm especially delighted about because I missed it in the theatre, and then in the cinema twice (last time in September - I had a ticket, but was ill...) https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/at-home I'm also looking forward to Twelfth Night at the end of April.
OperaVision is an existing programme of free opera from mostly European opera houses. Everything from Glyndebourne to modern Icelandic/Danish opera (no, I haven't watch that one yet)@ https://operavision.eu/en
There's an awful lot on iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer. I suppose it is time for me to watch Fleabag. Meanwhile I might revist the 90s with channel 4 vampire series Ultraviolet: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/ultraviolet/on-demand and Leeds set legal drama North Square https://www.channel4.com/programmes/north-square starring a youthful Rupert Penry-Jones and Helen McCrory.
*Insert obvious joke here.
