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.

TDTESS is a simplistic movie cast in simpler times when the tensions between the two superpowers were quite high. I holds your attention with the promise of some future event
and little else. The action is slow, the relationship between Mr. Carpenter and Bobby would, these days, be MOST suspicious to any American parent if not the police. It creeps along with most scenes overly dark and with stullified dialog and with an overall innocence that is charming to watch. I particularly liked the ease at which the robot destroys the armaments of those troops surrounding the ship after Mr. Carpenter is wounded, a good idea.
