The missus isn't much of a cricket follower but doesn't mind the ODI's and remembers them as a kid.
I stumbled across "Howzat" in my DVD rack as we were packing yesterday so decided to give her a cricket history lesson, I love watching in every now and then, Packer was just an outright prick, I love him.

Kerry Francis Bullmore Packer knew what he wanted and knew how to get it.
Some irony attached to him passing on Boxing Day, the biggest day on the Australian cricket calendar.

Hey LMA I started watching this a few weeks ago on Stan. Not a bad show, extremely disturbing at times but interesting.LMA wrote:Speaking of subtitled content, I watched Midnight Sun on SBS Demand and thought it was pretty good, gruesome opening scene.
Also on Demand The Handmaid's Tale is well worth a watch, unlike anything I've seen and disturbing at times.

Saw this post has well. Have to agree with you that the actual scary part of the story is that it's not as far fetched as you would think.Magellan wrote:Been watching "The Handmaid's Tale" on SBS on demand in the last few days. It's a very, very scary story.
Highly recommended, particularly if you're into shows that are set in a future dystopia. Except the future isn't ruled by technology and robots, but rather it has regressed to a much simpler time when God and the Bible gave everyone the answers. This is because it depicts what it would be like to live under a Christian totalitarian regime - a bit like an Amish version of Orwell's "1984", or North Korea except everything revolves around Bible scripture as the law and satisfying the will of God in general. In particular, women have no rights, and are simply used as property.
Elisabeth Moss (Peggy from "Mad Men") is the central character, who is fantastic as a a 'handmaid' whose job is to bear kids for a high ranking government official whose wife can't conceive. The show examines her desire to rebel and break free of the regime, and it shows how American society slipped from today's normal into a totalitarian religious theocracy in the near future (which is part of what makes it so scary).

Put Dave Hughes and Rove McManus on the show as well, then incinerate it.
