It's not often I have the opportunity just to sit in front of the TV for the evening. To be fair, it's equally rare that there are sufficient interesting programs to keep me there.
A Touch of Frost I'm a sucker for a good UK murder mystery, ever since the days when "Taggart" was a weekly fixture. They seem to be able to come up with plots and characters which are simultaneously more complicated yet simpler and more believable than the US attempts.
The Bill I haven't watched an episode of this in years. I'm glad to see that it retain everything which made it a quality brit drama while managing to update with the times.
Human Body - Pregnancy [edited after determining that the program I was watching was not what the onscreen guide said it was]
Appears to be the first in a documentary series chronicling the development of the human body. Next week ages 1-4. But I'll be at gaming. Steered clearly through the potential minefields. Kudo's for presenting firmly the unlikelyhood of any given conception coming to term.
OK, I'm a sucker for a good documentary as well.
Gentlemen's Relish UK comedy-drama, or possibly drama-comedy. Billy Conolly in a leading role. Entertaining, what I saw of it.
Cybertech P.D. Actually a pretty good low-level Cyberpunk film. The tech is subtle but ubiquitous. Really rich guys and corps have really shiny stuff. The middle class have voice activated systems in their houses and videophones. There's the usual seedy, drug addicted underground.
Obviously meant to be a simple action flick and doesn't do a bad job of it. Looks a bit like the pilot for a TV show that never got off the ground. Made in 1995 but has only really aged in some of the dates used (set in 2008 with background set in 2002).
There is an interesting look at one of the possible legal issues surrounding the first clones.

This one-- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413573/ -- the drama-- was the one I was talking about. The documentary must be way before my time, as I don't remember it.
