Reading Time: 2 minutes

This is the eighth blog post in a series titled Wonderful Websites. The first focused on general health and can be read here. The second focused on mental health and mental illness and can be read here. The third post focused on shopping and can be read here.

The fourth focused on money and can be read here. The fifth focused on gigs, shows and theatres and can be read here. The sixth focused on paganism and can be read here. The seventh focused on gay culture and society and can be read here.

Here’s Wonderful Websites for TV, Online Streaming & Films:

1. Netflix – Is great for TV series and films. I use Netflix for rubbish watching when I want to relax. I like American documentaries like Lock Up and Prepers.

I like all Sci-Fi series of Star Trek and other programmes like Designated Survivor, Z Nation, Zoo, classic films and the large variety of comedy on offer.

2. BBC iPlayer – The iPlayer has a great variety of programmes. I enjoy watching programmes like Planet Earth, Doctor Who, Question Time and The Last Kingdom. I don’t regularly watch the iPlayer, just when I know there’s been something on TV that I’d like to watch.

3. YouTube – Has some great content on it. From music videos, tutorials for just about anything and funny cat videos. You can also find some old TV programme in full on there.

4. All 4 – I only occasionally watch things on Channel 4, but what I like about it is that it has full box sets available to watch.

5. ITV Hub – Good to watch the odd programme that I like on ITV. What’s off putting is the repetitive adverts. For this reason I can’t stand to watch more than a couple of programmes at any one time.

6. TED: Ideas worth sharing – Has some brilliant videos by experts and specialists in a wide range of fields. The videos are around a wide range of topics and mostly are fascinating, informative and enlightening.

7. Amazon Prime Video – I’ve never used this service, but know people that swear by it.

8. iTunes Video – I’ve only ever bought one film off iTunes. This is because a lot of times buying the DVD on Amazom is cheaper or the same price. I’m also not keen on the restrictions Apple are placing more and more on content you buy through their store.

Are there any TV, Online Streaming & Films websites that you think are useful that aren’t on the list? If so leave a comment below and let me know.

In the next post in my Wonderful Websites series I will list great websites for music.

Blog soon,

Antony

Wonderful Websites About Paganism

1. Damh the Bard is a pagan singer songwriter. I absolutely adore this man’s music. I hope one day to see him live.

2. Llewellyn Worldwide publishes books around all topics pagan and spiritual.

3. The Angry Cauldron is my favourite American online pagan shop. I love it because it sells Dorothy Morrison products.

4. A Bad Witch’s Blog provides regular content from a London-based Witch. Her posts are a enjoyable to read.

5. The Goddess & The Green Man is a pagan shop in Glastonbury. They sell some really unique items.

6. The Witchs’ Voice is an American website that I used visit often. It has interesting articles on all aspects of paganism.

Wonderful Websites – Gigs, Shows and Theatres

This is the fifth blog post in a series titled Wonderful Websites. The first focused on general health and can be read here. The second focused on mental health and mental illness and can be read here. The third post focused on shopping and can be read here. The fourth focused on money and can be read here.

This post lists wonderful websites for gigs, shows and theatres.

1. See Tickets isn’t as comprehensive as Ticket Master but offers more choice around seating meaning you tend to get better seats.

2. Ticket Master has tickets for gigs, shows and theatres across venues, across the country.

3. Manchester Theatres lists gigs, shows and theatre performances by Greater Manchester venues.

4. Manchester Academy venues (Academy, Academy 2, Academy 3 and Club Academy) often host less well known artists. I love these venues as they are in city centre, are smaller and more intimate.

5. The Lowry (Salford Quays) is a smaller venue that has a good variety of shows and theatre performances.

Are there any gig, shows and theatre websites that you think are useful that aren’t on the list? If so leave a comment below and let me know.

The next post in the Wonderful Websites series will focus on websites for paganism.

Blog soon,
