Synopsis:

** "The US, is it a narcissistic empire. Maybe you'll agree, or maybe not - I'll put it to you like this...

Let's Talk - Pacifica Host Garland Nixon on the ideology of empire. Referencing Blinken, Yellen, Ukraine, Gaza, the Rules Based World Order, alcoholics, and The Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders...

** "I hate it when people think that I'm English..."

James Ivory Talks Merchant Ivory. And turning the camera back on Oregon reared Ivory and that historic filmmaking team for a change, with this new documentary delving into their over half a century extraordinary body of work counting 44 productions.

And the immense creative energy they had together - raising as well the gender question concerning the male mix with their late, esteemed screenwriter, Ruth Prawer.

** "The plot thickens - a lurid labyrinth of beastly bureaucracy..."

The UK Desk: The Final Extradition Appeal Of Julian Assange. Brett Gregory breaks down the issues with investigative filmmaker Matt Alford, in the belly of the Belmarsh beast over there where Assange hasn't seen the sun in five years - and fightback strategies in progress...

** "As someone who likes to curl up with a good mystery book, and what with historical figures in unlikely places under assumed names of course - Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer; Marx, and Sherlock as a youth shy with women; and which may or may not be tied to the repercussions of the recent annihilation of the Paris Commune - well, you've got me to open up the covers..."

Karl Marx, Private Eye: Dissecting ruthlessly the secretive components of this Jim Feast historical detective fantasy. And what all of this has to do with Hitchcock, carbuncles, Eleanor Marx's flirtation with an older man - and a Christmas goose out of season, plump and hardy courtesy of Engels.
