      I just watched a documentary about Breatharians, the content and production quality are quite impressive for a YouTube channel with just over 200K subscribers. I watched another good one on the same channel a while back and also enjoyed it. :)

          I think the correct term for Breatharians are bare faced liars!
          Most of the documentary's on YouTube are extremely well presented and produced. Some are made by small production companies, but there are a lot produced by one person.

            Plenty of poor souls in Ethiopia etc have lived on just the Sun and air, and they look emaciated in early life before they sadly die.
            These Breatharian frauds insult the starving masses.

              It can be really fascinating, like this episode when excavating a Roman villa and they discovered a Stewart gravel tray!

                I watched a really interesting documentary on Netflix called Kiss the Ground yesterday. It is about talking climate change through regenerative agriculture. Highly recommended viewing.

                    There's a brilliant programme on BBC iplayer called Code Red, warning you will need some tissues handy. Life is so precious.

                      BBC 2 BOXING DAY AT 6.40 PM....
                      "ANYTHING GOES"
                      A 1934 musical that will fit the Boxing Day bill nicely.
                      A round of cold turkey sarnies, a mince pie or two and a glass of sparkle .
                      A good reason to be merry....

                          Don't know what's on at Christmas yet but it will probably be Call the Midwife special. Dr who but we don't watch it anymore.

                            I'm thinking of treating myself to a year's subscription to "Britbox" streaming service. Some of our stations do air things like Call the Midwife, etc but they are few.
