  1. Generally, a good documentary with a decent mix of positive and negative aspects of what this technology can do but the cost of achieving all this didn't really come up. Grayson's a good student of humans for his art, but there are aspects of the tech he missed out that then skew the portrayal.

  2. Watching the second part of the #GraysonPerry documentary about tech and the future and AI shit, and the look on his face while attending a pro-Elon Musk convention was absolutely priceless.

  3. Yeah, very interesting programme. Good to see both the positive spin from the tech startup execs and the arguably paranoid views of the anti-AI extremists each being treated sceptically by Grayson. It helps that he can read people so well.

  4. There's the first of a 2-part Grayson Perry documentary on Channel 4 right now, looking at current "AI" tech and what that may signify for the future, and it's already started strongly with a look at creepy "AI" companions. He's a good student of humans so the art he'll produce from this joining of them with the money-seeking tech should be very good.

  5. Went to see the Grayson Perry exhibition at the Wallace collection. It's wonderful. You have until Saturday to catch it. If you haven't, you should.

  8. Finally finished #GraysonPerry's Full English documentary and #PaulHeaton showing off his crisp packet collection was my absolutely my favourite part. 😍

    Tudor Spring Onion #crisps were my favourite ever - I'd eat a tonne of them every year on my 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 summer holidays 😋

  9. Personal fun (not really) fact about #Whitby, where #GraysonPerry is now sat, eating fish and chips on the programme: It's the place in England where we were served the worst pint of Old Peculier ever. It had a creamflow head on it. Old Peculier should not have a creamflow head on it. It shouldn't have a head on it at all. No idea why northerners pour it like that. It's all kind of wrong. Changes the taste beyond recognition.

  10. Interesting bit just then on #GraysonPerry touching on whether rich, posh, landed gentry people from the north are "northerners" in the sense of what most people in England consider a northerner. It's a problem, though, when a show hits extremes of people. You'll get well-off, posh people in Cheshire or St Helens who'd definitely qualify as northerners, so what's the actual dividing line that says yes or no? Tricky one.

  11. #GraysonPerry is hitting the north of England tonight for #FullEnglish on Channel 4 right now, and he's starting with some Northern Soul dancing. We've seen some properly good Northern Soul dancers on several occasions and it's a dance style we adore, with fabulous music as accompaniment. I've even been known to throw in a few Northern Soul dance steps myself on occasion.

  12. UK viewers, Channel 4, and #GraysonPerry now is looking at what it means to be English when you're not white. #FullEnglish

  13. Enjoyable first episode, but #GraysonPerry programmes always are, and nice to see him touch upon the fact that looking back to the past - whether some perceived glorious, heroic past of racist England, or some idyllic, everyone at peace with nature past of traditional England - is very, very white. Midlands next week, and a far more culturally diverse England to take in. Well worth catching if you missed it. #FullEnglish

  14. Love the various #pagan bits we're seeing in this programme. My wife's cousin is in two Morris sides (or was, the last time I checked with him). #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish

  15. #GraysonPerry singing to a White Van Man from the north is what good TV is all about. #FullEnglish

  16. There is something very, very satisfying about a good #AfternoonTea but we've never actually done one in England. We've had some fancy ones on cruise ships, though, and would probably rate #VirginVoyages as best at them, much to our own surprise. #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish

  17. I think I've just seen a Wet Druid contest taking place on British TV. #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish

  18. Really hoping these druids put the racist defender of Dover inside a Wicker Man before the end of this programme. #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish

  19. Amused by the adverts in the first break of this #GraysonPerry #FullEnglish programme: Riviera Cruises, then MSC Cruises, then Expedia travel booking. Or, to put it another way, here's how to get away from England after you've watched this.
