I trust you’ve enjoyed the sunny weekend. Don’t get used to it, obviously. The UK has gone back-to-the-old-school for its weather. To be precise, this means the school of fish that’ll be swimming down your local high-street in the near future. (And here was me thinking that April Showers was just an internet address that’s blocked in the office.)
Even worse though, Homeland is over. NIGHTMARE! I have to say, I never expected Brad Pitt to rock up in the last episode. And what about that cameo from Beyonce as the president? I thought the whole spaceship thing was a bit far-fetched though. (Fret not, if you haven’t seen it yet, none of this actually happened. But Carrie did get eaten by rabid guinea pigs – and you can still see the final ep on 4oD).
Fortunately though, as we all recover from our first Sunday night without it, here’s some good news: we’ve got Series 2 of Homeland. Woo hoo! And we’re so excited, we’re going to screen it all tomorrow… ah, hang on… apparently not, on account of it not having been made yet. Shake a leg Damo, there’s a good chap…
We’ve also just commissioned a second series of brilliant, moving, funny and fascinating The Undateables. If you never managed to test your own loveability last time around, have a go on our relationship quiz.
Plus, we’ve got Series 2 of Homeland. Woo hoo! Worth mentioning twice, at the very least.

Now you know it’s possible, why not take our specially designed tests to find out whether you’ve been doing yourself down all these years.
Talking of things hidden, the brilliant Unreported World is back in full swing for 2012, tackling the far-away stories that no one else does. You can watch it, of course, on 4oD – and the stream is available all over the world.
Each week there’s a plenty of behind-the-scenes extras. Here’s Seyi Rhodes from his recent report on wrestling in the Congo, in a situation suggesting that terms such as ‘free press’ and ‘Leveson Inquiry’ might be lost on Congolese politicians:
