BUSINESS CLASS

TV

Season 7 sees Peggy and Don in competition for the position of alpha personality, a gender dynamic unimaginable in Season 1. Draper’s mentor Roger Stirling has outstripped him, and the toxic comforts of fat has-beendom are beckoning. It’s up to the second half of Season 7 to show us whether or not he’ll catch up with the world.

TV / Boxsets and Individual Episodes

Fargo Season 1

The Walking Dead Season 5

Mad Men Season 7

The announcement of Fargo, the series, caused consternation – why besmirch the legacy of a much-loved Coen brothers classic? However, this new TV incarnation give us something closer to the reigning spirit of today’s TV drama – violence, nihilism, and a whole lot of antiheroic behaviour. Sit back and marvel at the well-wrought drama of each episode.

That The Walking Dead even managed to stumble to a fifth season is a testament to the show’s quality.

Since the very first episode, a sort of zombie apocalypse has been taking place behind the scenes. Cast and crew infighting, budget problems and a revolving door of showrunners led to several near-cancellations – still the show remains, acclaim piling up faster than the bodies of the undead.

It’s been the show’s guiding tension since the very first episode – when will the 1960s hit? And not just the rock music, drugs and tiedyes, the familiar countercultural representations of that era; the 1960s was also the beginning of today’s corporate advertising culture and its discontents. In Season 7, it finally arrives – sit back and watch the future of Mad Men unravel.

TV Episodes Modern Family first hit our screens in 2010, and has become somewhat of a culturally defining series. Enjoy a Season 6 highlight on board your flight. Those with a more anarchic sense of humour may appreciate an episode of The Big Bang Theory.

For something a little more factual, tune into some of our documentaries. Super Senses explores the extraordinary sense of smell that animals possess, whilst Cosmos: A Space Odyssey, hosted by astrophysicist, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, investigates how we discovered the laws of nature.

Soccer fans shouldn’t miss 250 Great Goals, which brings a selection of some of the finest goals scored over the last couple of decades, including a stunning free kick from Paul Gascoigne in the 1991 FA semi-cup final and Lionel Messi scoring an amazing goal against Getafe in 2007.
