I know I keep going on about this – but I’m so happy to see that BBC Four’s bought the UK rights to Robert Altman’s Tanner on Tanner. And they’re showing it in the run-up to the US election which means we won’t have to wait very long at all to see it!
Maybe they could reshow Tanner ’88? Probably a bit too hopeful.
And I’ve only just noticed that BBC Four have been reshowing the wonderful Phil Aglund documentary, Beyond the Clouds, on Mondays. This is the kind of documentary that we’re missing these days. On top of that, there’s the Graham Greene season in the next few days, and I also note that Sky at Night is getting a primetime repeat on BBC Four as well. Excellent news. I’d love the channel to also show Horizon repeats in the same week, and also Panorama – but Panorama should rightly be repeated on News 24. I wish someone could explain why it isn’t.
