About Smashing Telly
Over the last 6 months, I have rarely watched regular TV, but did not have the patience to download programs, having found a wealth of timeless classics such as Kenneth Clark's Civilisation [sic] available instantly, as a streamed video of 'good enough' quality.
Smashing Telly is a hand edited collection of the best free, instantly available TV on the web. Not 30 second clips of a dog on a skateboard, or the millionth person to mime the Numa song, but full length programs. Smashing Telly, not Gimmick Telly.
Many of the items that I'll be putting up on a regular basis are documentaries, since thats what tends to be out there at the moment.
