Snap, Eugene! I've just posted about the tennis in the SIT!

I won't be watching the match, but wish Emma a good win, she has done amazingly well to get where she has....an inspiration indeed! Some highlights will no doubt be on the news somewhere.

Can't say I'm sad about the test match being cancelled (what a fiasco though), and will enjoy watching the Orangutans (little old men of the forest')....Thanks for the heads up Eugene

Me too, Baz. Last week's programme was about Malta and tonight's was going to be about Gibraltar - both places I know fairly well. I like Bettany anyway: saw her once live at the Edinburgh Book Festival.

I've looked ahead on C4's online Programme Guide and the Gibraltar show is already rescheduled for 8.30 to 9.30pm next Saturday. That may change, though: the plan was to show the film "Deadpool" tonight and "Deadpool 2" next Saturday, but although "Deadpool" has been cancelled, "Deadpool 2" is still scheduled. I don't know if movie rights mean they can't reschedule it at the drop of a hat?

Yes , Dame , Ros, Kaytee and I watched the Malta one too Eugene ….and really enjoyed it . I really like Bettany too ….I’ve watched several of her series ….especially the Egyptian ones ….although I have to say her cleavage can be a bit distracting at times . I hope they do show the Gibraltar one next week ….like you , I’ve got a nodding acquaintance with there , and Malta .

Yeah: when the series started, I meant to do a heads-up for the "History Ladies" here, but I forgot...   You can still catch up on My4, etc. though...

It's called "Treasure's of the World", but so far has been restricted to the Med with programmes on Greece, Malta and Gibraltar. It's clearly been made under Covid travel restrictions, but that's sometimes worked to their advantage, with Bettany getting access to the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum last week - something she said she'd wanted to visit all her professional life (it is open to the public, but you have to book months in advance...   ).
