Default Chernobyl - Sky Atlantic

Anyone been watching this ? Just watched the latest episode, excellent so far. Some of the scenes where they spell it out to the leaders is very sobering. Very well filmed and a very eastern block feel as it's all so dulled down. Lots of soviet era vehicles as well to look at.

We have recorded it. SWMBO watched the first and second then stopped as she realised I would really like it.

Just at the moment tho’ I am so busy I have not found the time to watch it.

She did tell me about the female Physicist who reported to a manager that had previously run a Soviet shoe factory

You won't be disappointed.

Yeah it's a small part to set the scene of its a case of who you know not what you know.

My wife had cancer in the late nineties because of Chernobyl. It’s a miracle she survived. Having visited the old USSR a few times to see family it was and remains a place of total corruption at the cost of health and safety. It’s one thing having a nuclear capability but are you fit enough to have it and run it safely?

Hmmm - I very much agree. Apologies for mentioning this given your specific circumstances - but reading some of the reports from US Astronauts about the cavalier attitude to safety they experienced with their Russian “colleagues” made me wonder how the **** they haven’t killed more people.

I haven't seen this weeks yet, but after watching the others it actually makes you wonder what we are doing to this very wonderful world we live in. I found it actually scary to watch and think it could happen again. Excellent show, though.
