The Planets (2019)
Fascinating science, great visuals and narration
I'm amazing at how much I've learned in such a short time from this series, with fascinating science backed up with excellent CGI where needed for explanation (but not over-used), and good clear narration from an intrepid Brian Cox, who pops up all over the world to show Earth terrain similar to the planets he's talking about.
The only thing stopping it from getting 10/10 in my book is occasionally scene changes can be very slow, with the gaps between commentary too long. A bit more punchy editing and it would be perfect.
Jonathan Creek: The Chequered Box (2004)
A very disappointing episode
The fourth season of Jonathan Creek is a distinct step down in quality from Series 1-3, and this episode is a classic example. A decent central story is constantly distracted by pointless side-gags, culminating in the totally unbelievable idea that trained paramedics could take a wax dummy to hospital whilst leaving the real patient lying on the road.
