While we are talking about TV series, who has seen this one?

Because of it’s poignant relevance and incredible accuracy it has to be up there with the best TV I’ve ever watched.

5 episodes of astonishingly accurate, terrifyingly grim, movingly heroic, sobering brilliance.

I felt it deserved a thread of it's own.

There certainly are a large number of people who'd agree with you...I think.

I heard it mentioned on the Beeb and look forward to seeing it.

Btw did you know that the Ukraines now sell blueberries in the European market? They collect baskets of the things from the surrounding forests then sell them to a company that has someone to check the radiation level. The low level of radioactivity blueberries are put to one side and the ones with a high level are put to another. Then the low and high level types are combined and sold on as blueberries with an ‘acceptable’ level of radioactivity: so always read the label!

Ironically that’s what the Russian head of nuclear energy said when they were designing the Chernobyl reactor.

Norwegian fish farms, the ones floating on the fjords, that’s another polluted source of food sold in the EU. France buy a lot of their salmon, the Norwegians wont touch it!

Is that the "REAL" reason Britain (well some of the Brits) want out of the EU?
