Television
We are now connected to Netflix and Samsung TV Plus.
I also like watching some YouTube channels. I particularly enjoy the southern Utah off-roading families and friends:
Two of my favourite television series were the BBC comedies Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. The Yes (Prime) Minister Files provides a great introduction to these classics about politics and bureaucracy.
Other television series that I have enjoyed include:
Time Team - UK archaeology
Grand Designs - UK house design and construction
Helicopter Heroes - UK air ambulance work
House - US medical drama
Grey's Anatomy - US medical drama
Scrubs - US medical comedy
We previously had our television hooked up to the Sky digital service. This included:
Movies
Web sites with a wealth of detail on and reviews of movies include:
Our closest movie theatre in Event Cinemas Whangarei
Lighthouse Pauatahanui is a small movie theatre complex within walking distance of where we lived in Whitby, Porirua.
I am a fan of Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993). Hepburn appeared in a great photograph with two Standard Poodles, one black and one white.
Radio
With broadband it is possible to listen clearly to some of the radio stations broadcasting on the web:
BBC Radio - from the UK
Virgin Radio - from the UK
National Public Radio - from the USA
Sports
Apart from flying, I am not a great sports fan but here are some sites that I sometimes look at:
The Ocean Race
Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race - starts every Boxing Day
Olympics (IOC)
All Blacks - New Zealand's famous national rugby union team
Cricinfo - cricket
FIFA - football (soccer)
