TV

Ashes to Ashes
3x08 Episode 8 [series finale]
And so that's that. Intriguing and not-unguessable, which is probably a good thing, especially as some of the questions/possibilities left dangling allow us to fill in some bits how we choose to.
But nonetheless, you can read some interesting/revealing post-finale interviews with the series' co-creator here.

Have I Got News For You
39x07 (20/5/10; extended repeat)
[Watch it (again) on iPlayer.]

Over the Rainbow
Show 10
Show 10: Results
aka, The Final.
[Watch Show 10 and the results (again) on iPlayer.]

Films

Tu£sday (2008)
[#51 in 100 Films in a Year 2010]
An '80s-set crime movie starring Philip Glenister and John Simm? Appropriate, considering this weekend's big TV.
