Vaccination is an issue that divides the vast majority of people who realise the remarkable benefits of a science that has got rid of some of the appalling diseases that afflicted humanity, and the minority who do not.
Immunisation has meant children get sick and die far less often than they used to, but as Australian film-maker Sonya Pemberton notes in Jabbed: Fear, Love and Vaccines, diseases ''largely unseen for a generation are returning''.
Pemberton's documentary on Sky's Vibe channel on Sunday at 8.30pm looks at why people are not vaccinating their children, and highlights the impact of delaying or refusing immunisation.
The show contains some confronting footage of a baby with whooping cough, and notes vaccines have delivered a remarkable, but often invisible gift, allowing people to avoid illness and death.
Pemberton also looks at the rare cases of reactions to vaccines, and explores, through those who have dealt with the issue, what has happened.
Jabbed: Fear, Love and Vaccines also looks at the science behind vaccines, and the cost of opting out.
The wages of sin is death, but the wages of sinful downloading are worse - Game of Thrones withdrawal.
The first four episodes of the fifth season of Game of Thrones were leaked online, meaning plenty of Dunedin fans with loose televisual morals joined bad eggs around the world, and enjoyed a feast of the new series as it began.
But the downside to that has been felt keenly by those same people over the last month.
While decent folk enjoyed the show on a weekly basis, illegal downloading types found themselves in a dark Game of Thrones void, with an enforced four-week wait between episodes four and five.
Truly has karma come to those who have transgressed.
As the very final half-series of Madmen drifts gently to a close, Remotely Interesting has noticed some disturbing metaphorical aspects.
Breakages were the theme of last Tuesday's offering, which included a broken typewriter, a broken car, and Don Draper's former wife Betty's unfortunate diagnosis.
We like that Don is on his solitary quest to find himself in rural America - but what will he find?Also on the horizon on SoHo is the second series of True Detective.
Series one was spectacular, until the final, which ended far too nicely.
Let's hope the malevolent darkness that so entertained us with the first series of the disturbing crime drama, which starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as troubled detectives (as television detectives must be), bleeds into series two.
Series two starts on June 22, with Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell, both of whom appear to be wading in morally ambiguous territory.
Let's hope it ends badly.
