The last seven days I had a bit of a catch up with programmes I missed and recorded for later viewing. I caught Stacey Dooley Investigates: Mums Selling Their Kids for Sex, on BBC3 via the iPlayer, which was not a particularly easy watch. The documentary shed light on mothers caught selling access to their own children to paedophiles.
We see two mothers who have several children between them - some as young as five years old - are seen accepting money in exchange for access to the youngsters. This evil trade in children in the Philippines is big business also via the internet with perverts from the USA, Europe, and the UK paying for access to children even babies where they a sexually abused on camera. I found the whole documentary deeply upsetting.
Highlight for me this week has to be Election night I just cannot wait for the 10pm kick off.
Saturday – Premiere Sky Cinema – Jack Reacher: Never Go Back 8pm
Saturday night and a bit of an action film who would not be happy well I will but I cannot speak for the wife who I believe will have her face in her laptop, which is expected because of the subject matter of the film.
Tom Cruise returns as Jack Reacher in this sequel based on Lee Child's bestselling novel Never Go Back, which finds the itinerant problem-solver accused of murder, and learning that he may have a child, he has never met.
Sunday – BBC2 – The Life Swap Adventure 8pm
I caught up with the first episode of this BBC2 programme on the iPlayer the other day and I am really looking forward to this one.
The swap this time involves Lillian, a military nurse from Nottingham who wants to live somewhere with a sense of community. She heads for Alaska to swaps places with Leslie, a B&B owner who dreams of travelling the world and is fascinated with British history.
Monday – Channel 5 – Big Brother 9pm
I am not a fan of reality TV so why this piece of TV crap. My mum god rest her soul she loved it which surprised me I would have thought it was not really her kind of TV. However, she like to nose it the interaction between the inmates. Not that my mum was one to sit in the window, twitching the curtains watching the neighbours this crap caught her imagination. The celebrity one was an out and out favourite of hers.
It was all she wanted to talk about so you had to watch it. In the end, I was watching and feeding her spoilers off the internet she just could not wait for the evening show she had to know.
Tuesday – Channel 5 – Our Dream Hotel 9pm
A new show for Channel 5 with Alex Polizzi presenting. She follows the progress of hoteliers who are just starting out in the hospitality industry. Her first port of call is an imposing Victorian mansion in the Orkneys, which has been bought by the Hodgson family from Brighton.
They hope to have completed the renovations in time for the tourist season – but are having to do a lot of the work themselves, despite lacking experience. We follow their battles.
Wednesday – BBC1 – Hidden Cardiff with Millard 9pm
I have lived in Cardiff all my life and even I can be surprised with the hidden nooks and crannies there are to find around the city I love. The same with the history of the city there is always a fact or piece of history to learn.
In this programme adventurer and writer, Will Millard investigates Cardiff hidden history in the urban exploration of the Welsh capital. Find out how Cardiff went from a tiny town to a thriving city.
Thursday – Various Channels – Election 2017 10pm
An all-nighter, well until the result is official anyway. At 10pm we get the exit poll with a fanfare will it be to ‘close to call’, a ‘tory landslide’, or the unbelievable sight of David Dimbleby announcing a Labour victory not expected as the polls tighten now who knows.
I will be alone has I channel hop around the different channels hoovering up all the news and results I am a real nerd for this kind of stuff. For company I will have a plate of sandwiches and something to drink and not for getting the world at my fingertips via the internet.
Friday – Premiere Sky Cinema – Eloise 11:10pm
Late night Friday horror and Eliza Dushku (Faith, Buffy) an added bonus could be a good bedtime film. If I do feel a bit on the sleepy side, I will it the record button for viewing at a later date.
