If the novel coronavirus has worn down the novelty of your usual streaming services, the National Film Board may be what you need. The 81-year-old Canadian public film agency has more than 4,000 titles available to stream for free at NFB.ca.

Found this on the BBC news today

How to see the world without leaving your home

Live streams of certain areas of the world.

The one of Times Square was eerily. In fact when I first looked at the feed, I thought the parking meters towards the bottom of the screen were cops/security checking for people.

The Lapland 360 degree is really cool as is the Northern Lights (if you rewind the feed you can some of the colours changing)

The one for Koh Samui got me annoyed as I could some people walking on the beach not social distancing plus I’m jealous because a week ago I was meant to be doing the same thing in Mexico

Andrew Lloyd Webber allowing his musicals to be shown free. https://www.whatsonstage.com/london-...B8TBP22kptYyb8 I watched Joseph with Donny Osmond last night. It was a rather strange adaptation. Tim Minchin in Jesus Christ Superstar next week.
