Hold the Sunset (2018)
Dreadful
What were JC and AS thinking, getting involved in this dire 'comedy'. I enjoy a good laugh, but this didn't even bring a smile to my face. I even watched the second episode to see if it was anomaly, it wasn't!
Horizon: Supermassive Black Holes (2000)
Style Over Content
I was looking forward to watching this episode of Horizon and learning more about black holes. What I learned was how to pad out a 15 minute program to an hour, by showing numerous repeats of the same meaningless graphics, moody video clips of scientists walking about and lots of shots of a 'black hole' neon sign, presumably so the BBC could get their monies worth from a prop that will be hard to re-use. Add to this the commentary that was twaddle half the time, and I'm sure you can understand my disappointment.
The BBC used to produce great science programs, that didn't talk down to the viewer, or assume that they had the attention span of a gnat. I'm no scientist or expert, but I felt cheated and insulted by the constant efforts to sex up what would have been a very interesting topic, presented properly.
