House of the Dragon
It wasn't scripted but when the crown fell off Matt Smith picked it up, and they decided to improvise it and keep it in. (The two characters are alienated brothers in the show.) Daemon (Matt Smith) showing deep down there is a heart somewhere ... although a few minutes after this scene, he goes back to his murderous ways. Paddy Considine is receiving good reviews for his portrayal of dying King Viserys Targaryen, as is Matt Smith who appears to be thoroughly enjoying playing a true George R.R. Martin 'baddie.' (His baddies often have a 'goodie' inside trying to get out.)

It's an iPlayer thing.

When things look blue it usually means you can click on them and it will take you somewhere. Sometimes that somewhere is magical. Ironically, this is not the case for the blue thing in this short paragraph.

The blue thing is a true thing for the sentence above it

First Contact: An Alien Encounter. BBC4.



Very interesting documentary, semi-dramatized, based on Oumuamua, a strange object that trundled in from Interstellar Space, passed through our Solar System and disappeared back into the abyss a few years ago.



It uses scientists from NASA, SETI and astronomy organizations from around the world in an effort to portray what the discovery of the existence of Alien Civilizations might have on the Earth’s population.



It’s very well done, and I wont give a spoiler as to how it ends, but I thought it was very clever, hearkening back to some of Carl Sagan’s explanations of the ‘Fermi Paradox.’



Not so much SciFi as speculative science.
