@BillRM,
The G and T Show (it's about Star Trek).

Full disclosure: I do their social media work now. I've known Terry (the T of G and T) for going on 8 years now, I think. Funny people. It's NSFW if that matters to people.

@djjd62,
Thanks for that long and interesting list and I will be looking at sampling at least half of that list that cover areas of interest to myself and that I would not had known about if not for your posting.

The BBC look like a gold mine and here I had been only using it up to now for news and Dr. Who shows/games.
