I thought to watch something not recorded by the TiVo to take a break from trying to clear some recording space. So I looked at what was on the various channels live. There was a 1959 #GregoryPeck movie, set in Australia, post-war, with submarines. It was called On The Beach. I was expecting some technicolour romp with lush South Pacific scenery. Perhaps some surfing or swimming or something. How wrong I was! It's a black-and-white post-apocalyptic tale of how Australia is the last place on Terra to succumb to radioactive fallout after a global thermonuclear war and everybody slowly dies. (G'day, professor Falken!) Hell, no! So back to the TiVo recordings and the made-for-TV romance with #JewelStaite it is, then. Even though the premise of that is that the other halves of both of the protagonists, who are obviously Destined to Find Love, have recently died. It has to be more cheerful than #OnTheBeach. #GlobalThermonuclearWar
