What time, TMINE? Including Nowhere Man, The Name of the Rose and Looking for Alaska

4 October 2019 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK

The observant will notice that last week, there was no ‘What time, TMINE?’ That’s not because I forgot but because there were no new acquisitions or premiere dates announced last week – at least, none that I noticed or anyone told me about.

This week, however, we’ve had a few premiere dates announced. And a faux-acquisition…

Oops, I missed it

Netflix has acquired TV3 (Spain)’s Les de l’hoquei (The Hockey Girls). That got announced this morning, but it’s apparently been available since September 20. Oh well.

Anyway, if you like teenage Catalan roller hockey and want to watch something that “addresses the subject of female adolescence in an honest way, with the occasional daring touch,” The Hockey Girls might be for you.
