The Hour (TV Series)
‘The Hour’ is about a new current-affairs show on BBC in 1956, and what happens in the lives of the team members involved in the making of the show. The series takes us through the journey of the show from a staid newspaper presentation to the visual and ‘breaking’ news reportage. With spies, honey traps and corruption thrown into the mix, danger is just around the corner for the intrepid Producer Isabel (Bel) Rowley ( Romola Garai) , and the journalist Frederick (Freddie) Lyon ( Ben Whishaw).
Well written and acted, this series is a good watch. The only crib being at times, the writers try too hard to fit it into the thriller genre, and dumb down the proceedings a bit (like the last episode of season 2). But in the end, it is still engaging enough and keeps you hooked throughout.

Rahul Dravid on Process n Results
“We need to take an overall view to figure out if our cricket is in good shape. We are ranked number one in ICC Test Championship and that’s equally important to me as winning an ICC tournament. We need to stress more on the preparation and the process, only then on the result. If you do, there is no reason why you will not get results in the long term. We have a very good team and as long as we are able to get things right at the NCA and in first class cricket, they we will continue to do well at the international level.”
