the following on terrestrial TV during next week.
Wild China is a new series of six programmes starting on BBC2 Sunday at 8.05pm with Heart of the Dragon. It is a wide ranging documentary showing the countries amazing diverse landscapes, wildlife and human cultures.
That is followed by the 2002 film Hero on Channel 4 Sunday at 9.05pm. It is the Radio Times film of the week and is a visually dazzling martial arts fantasy.
Legends:Doris Day is on BBC2 Monday at 7.00pm which features clips from her varied film career to illustrate this biography. This ever popular actress is still the all time top female box office star!
Superfish is the Natural World programme on BBC2 Wednesday at 8.00pm. Billfish is the collective name for marlin, swordfish and sailfish which are magnificently weird, weigh up to half a ton and can swim at speeds up to 70mph!
Have a good weekend!

Not a bad collection of goodies to watch then!
We have all but given up tv. Just since the rabbits came to stay… we spend all of our free time watching in the garden and it never gets boring and there are no repeats! :o)
The kids will never give up their sport though!

Have to echo what daffy says - watching television in summer? How do you get the time? Must admit that China nature doc looks interesting though. Have a good weekend - looks like it’s going to stay warm!

okay, I don’t get those channels or programs BUTTTTTT, I do own that movie. Hero was a fabulous movie and I enjoy watching it over and over. Maybe THAT’S what I’ll do on my mothers day this sunday!

Good old Doris Day! I haven’t watched one of her movies for ages. No time now, however. I fear a few weeks of serious over time is slotted for my evenings and weekends

Daffy it all looks pretty good to me!
I must say that live entertainment like that must be far more appealing.
That’s kids for you! xx

Cafecortado hello! I make the time as it’s something I want to do!
Yes it certainly should prove interesting and informative.
Thanks, you too!

Mylozmom I’ve not seen it as this will be the first time it’s been shown on terrestrial TV. It’s a genre I like watching so should really enjoy it. xx

Well, it sounds like there’s plenty of entertainment lined up as you relax after your pottering, pondering, plotting and planting. I think I’ll be ready for much the same thing after working in the garden so much! Hope you enjoy all the programs

Wow. That “Wild China” sounds really interesting - I’m making a mental note to catch it (which, usually ends up with me remembering hours later that I meant to watch something… still… so long as I remember the iplayer
I should be okay - ditto with “Superfish”
Doris day - have to agree - great actress; I don’t often linger on these biographical shows - but - following the link made me remember happy Sundays with my nan and there’d always be some film on or other; happy memories
have a grand weekend

Mas yes they both should prove to be well worth watching.
I’m sure that a lot of people will have similar happy memories, I know that I have!
Thanks, you too. Cheers!
