Speaking of football, I've just watched the first series of that AFC Sunderland documentary. I have no particular affinity for Sunderland one way or the other, I'm from the other side of the North of England, but I did really enjoy it.
It humanised both the sport itself and the effect that under-performance and failure can have on a local community really well. It also has a gorgeous intro theme song called Shipyards. Good stuff.
