thisbluespiritI'm still tired from yesterday, but a head's up (via a genealogy news feed I follow) in case it's of any use to other people:
Find My Past (one of the big online genealogy sites for the UK) are allowing free access to their main UK collections till 26th June. (No strings attached for this one, not even fake-orders to get it; only registering if you haven't already.)
Some more details & instructions on the site's blog: https://blog.findmypast.com/free-british-irish-records-2445715211.html

Hope you recover soon. Have fun with the site!

Date: 24 Jun 2017 07:55 am (UTC)Well, I finished that Thurs. In the meantime I am mostly watching Tenko which I recorded off Drama earlier in the year. It is very enjoyable, but everybody keeps dying. I am v worried that we have a couple more series to go because nobody can survive that long!

Date: 27 Jun 2017 07:25 pm (UTC)Anyway, I recorded it off Drama - they ran it on Sat mornings earlier this year, so it might come round again. (They're doing Secret Army at the moment, which I'm also recording, but it must be very long as it's still going after a couple of months of 4-ep Sat am stints!)
Oh, I think modern TV can do grim and gritty if it's something like WWII; it's just that they thought tackling the end of the world properly was a bit of downer for SF, because obv all sf is just escapism. /still bitter

(Unlike some of the other Thrillers I have now seen, it is fairly cheesy in a comforting way and the scariest thing in it is actually the American girl's fiance.)
