Title: Color Teevee Programs Post by: 4D on Monday, September 5, 2011, 15:51:39 Seeing as there is a thread for films and music I thought I would start one for TV programs. Watched Appropriate Adult last night, about cromwell street. I'd forgotten how long ago that was! 2nd part next Sunday night.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DV on Monday, September 5, 2011, 19:01:09 Just finished going through my Only Fools and Horses DVD collection.
30 years ago today the first episode aired I believe. Still better than anything on the TV today Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, September 5, 2011, 19:01:34 Plus why is this "red or black" crap on every night??
No friends for 26 days either :( Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, September 5, 2011, 19:04:03 Just started on S5 of The Wire.

My favourite show of recent years.

My favourite show of recent years. If you're into shows where a dog smokes weed, drinks beer, watches Matt Damon films and breaks into cars and houses then Wilfred is for you. My favourite show of recent years. Is it worth starting with the original Australian show, or is it best to go straight into the American version? It's the same bloke as the dog in both isn't it?

I've had no Jezza or This morning for 6 weeks so loving it this morning! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Monday, September 5, 2011, 20:45:19 Just watched the first Appropriate Adult. Thought it was superb, the voice acting and likenesses were chillingly spot on.
I spent the first 10 minutes wondering where i'd seen the girl playing the Appropriate Adult (Janet Leach?) before, and then it dawned on me, she looks exactly like Marcus Wareing (TV chef).

I spent the first 10 minutes wondering where i'd seen the girl playing the Appropriate Adult (Janet Leach?) before, and then it dawned on me, she looks exactly like Marcus Wareing (TV chef). i also watched Appropriate Adult this evening (thank you TEF for reminding me) and thought it was amazing. Reminded me of being a kid and my parents telling me about it as my dad worked in social services in gloucester at the time. I did think the side story of Janets husband was a bit strange but over all a chilling programme to watch Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jutty274 on Monday, September 5, 2011, 20:56:18 i seem to spend most of my time watching the history channel at the moment, they have some good programs on like pawn stars, american restoration, american pickers & swamp people

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: woolster on Monday, September 5, 2011, 21:07:16 a mate told me to watch a comedy called phone shop, anyone seen it
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Monday, September 5, 2011, 21:09:02 not seen it, but the adverts looked shite so didn't bother, let me know what it's like if you watch it.
Someone told me about Trollied also, watched a few, it's OK, not brilliant though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, September 5, 2011, 21:14:49 Phone Shop was utter shite. Avoid.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, September 5, 2011, 21:24:25 The second series of Treme started last week, cracking episode.
I've started watching Snuff Box at work this week. Fucking weird. Matt Berry is awesome though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Notts red on Monday, September 5, 2011, 22:13:42 Next Sunday night, " Drugs in football " programme advertised earlier but didn't catch what channel sure it starts at 9pm though.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: PocketScience on Monday, September 5, 2011, 22:26:23 Phone Shop was utter shite. Avoid. I agree. Watched the first episode and it was a pile of wank, didn't bother watching any more to see if it improved Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Monday, September 5, 2011, 23:00:20 Phone Shop is possibly the worst comedy show ever made,
Just about on the same level as "Lee Nelsons well good show" Which is utter utter shite. I seriously think I could make a better show. In terms of good shows I have only just discovered 2 and a half men which is brilliant.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 08:09:26 I heart 2 & a half men! I got into it in Australia as there is literally nothing else on there!
It's kinda cheesy but funny - not sure how it's gonna work without Charlie Sheen though? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: larwood on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 08:33:59 BBC Four are showing The Killing again.
Great for me as i've started my maternity leave and so have masses of time to fill.Of course i know who the killer is so some of the tension is lost,but its still great tv.

God I slagged off today's Jezza but it's a 9/11 one and actually very moving - they just showed the 9/11 tribute centre - I challenge anyone to go in there & not be moved Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: donkey on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 15:55:53 I heart 2 & a half men!

It's the same bloke as the dog in both isn't it? Yep, same bloke. I've only seen a couple of the Australian episodes but think the US one has the edge (surprisingly). Apparently it's all off the back of a short film so will dig that out at some point with the rest of the Oz shows.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 20:53:02 Have recently discovered 'The Big Bang theory' and am working my way through the back catalogue. Bazinga! Just finished this. New episodes of BBT and How I Met Your Mother soon. I got to early season 4 of Battlestar Galactica and just gost tremendously fed up. Too much waffle about God and Religion, not enough 'preparing to jump' and cylons appearing out of nowhere and fracking everybody up. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 21:17:20 How I Met Your Mother is good.
Big Bang Theory started off good but got boring very quickly, nothing ever seems to happen, it's the same old shite every episode, it's about time they pulled the plug on it. Never seen Two And A Half Men, is it any good? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 22:47:27 How I met your mother is in my opinion better than Friends, which seems to be the benchmark that all sitcoms are based..
2 and a half men, as I said about I have on recently discovered but I think its brilliant, If you have Comedy central they seem to show it all the time.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 22:57:02 2 and a half men is alright to watch the odd time, but it's the same joke every single episode.
Plus it has that really annoying "meeeeeennnn" sound clip. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 23:15:54 Two and a Half Men is total gash. Awful.
Season 2 of Boardwalk Empire is on soon \o/ Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: yeo on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 23:32:09 the great british bake off is the bestest thing ever. agreed! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: walcot red on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 13:37:22 The Walking Dead was great the second series starts around Halloween in the US worth a download/watch. House is awesome, wonder how they are going to start this new series though. Bones will back on as well. I love the autumn all the good programs start again
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 13:40:17 Think House is going to be set nearly a year after the last series with House coming out of prison and Cuddy gone (the actress left).
Think will almost definitely be the last series, Hugh Laurie isn't contracted on for any more afterwards, and let's be honest; it's been gettnig a bit silly (but still awesome) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: walcot red on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 13:45:38 It's a shame that cuddy won't be in House anymore I watched it mainly due to how House, Cuddy and Wilson interacted. Hopefully they end it this series. Otherwise it may become another lost
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 14:06:45 BBC Four are showing The Killing again. Great for me as i've started my maternity leave and so have masses of time to fill.Of course i know who the killer is so some of the tension is lost,but its still great tv. I watched that and it's definitely one of the best television series I've seen in a while. I tried to watch the American one, but it didn't have the whole moody, dark, "Nordic Noir" feel that made The Killing so good. I actually thought after watching parts here and there that the characters were way less believable and it seemed to lack subtlety. It came across as less of an intelligent homage and more of a lazy copy. Edit: Cuddy's gone from House?! I actually couldn't be bothered with this series, but with Thirteen leaving (I love her soooo much) Cuddy would be the only remaining sexual object. Boooo. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: mrverve on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 14:43:51 The Soprano's. Excellent tv.

I actually couldn't be bothered with this series, but with Thirteen leaving (I love her soooo much) Cuddy would be the only remaining sexual object. Boooo. Yeah but this is House, there must be some more flange coming in from somewhere - Masters, 13, Cameron, even Stacey - there is a track record. Personally I thought the last series was the worst whereas the previsous one when he was in the nut house was amazing. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 16:26:36 Edit: Cuddy's gone from House?! I actually couldn't be bothered with this series, but with Thirteen leaving (I love her soooo much) Cuddy would be the only remaining sexual object. Boooo. Thirteen is still in it, but not for the full series. In and out like last series I think. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 18:47:23 Thirteen is still in it, but not for the full series. In and out like last series I think. Boo, I assumed she'd completely left, as I thought she disappeared during the series where he was mental(er). In that case they should state at the start of each episode if it has thirteen in it, then I can drool my way through it if she is. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [url width=400 height=591]http://i55.tinypic.com/fuo09f.jpg[/url] Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 19:29:48 Heard it's one of those that once you watch one you want to watch all of them.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: LucienSanchez on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 19:32:21 A lot of people seem to love it, but I watched the first couple and found it kinda boring so didn't bother with the rest. Yeah, i found it similar. But if you grind through the first 4 or 5 episodes you really get into it (and get used to the accents/way of talking of the drugs gangs), as well as understanding the characters and their relationships. It's worth the effort... Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 19:37:06 I think i've still series one knocking around somewhere, might give it another go.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 19:45:33 I've just bought series 1 of The Wire as always meant to watch it. I think Scrubs is one of the best shows ever made. And I really do think that. I originally hated it and my ex-flatmate used to insist on watching it every night. I inevitably watched some and began to realise it's superb. He also got me into Family Guy and anal.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 19:56:44 The Wire is actually better than anal, Barry.
The Wire is the best thing ever. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 20:11:49 Yeah, i found it similar.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 21:34:10 Struggled with this series so far. Me too. Children of Earth was pretty much perfect for the last 3 episodes. But this time its sold its sole to the devil (well American money). Its a good idea, but its utter tripe, over Americanised and stupidly slowly paced. In short either CoE was a fluke, or they really cocked it up. But I have to watch now as its so close to the end.

I too am gonna see it out because I've come this far (aware how gay that sounds) but this series has been very underwhelming and disappointing to say the least. Also, far too much gay sex for my liking! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 21:49:27 I'm watching Man V Food. I'm hungry now.

I love that program. Talking of a few bob though, one of the things I really love about the show is that it sometimes illustrates how much bang you can really get for your buck. There's been some stunning houses built for amounts far below what their looks seem to portray. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 20:06:48 I love that show. I spend far too much time watching More4.
Me and the missus plan on doing our own grand design one day. Mortgage will be paid off before we're both 40, so a self build purely from cash is the ultimate dream. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: stfcinbmth on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 20:16:07 Most of the initial cost comes from the purchase of the plot it's self. It's a great idea in theory tho, design and build your own house. Kevin McCloud is one of the most enthusiastic and interesting presenters ever. Must admit I'm a sucker for property shows, don't know why, guess I just like certain types of architecture, love anything Deco.

Kevin McCloud is one of the most enthusiastic and interesting presenters ever. I love the summaries he gives at the end. The bloke is superb. I love the way he's completely natural and is both candid and very knowledgeable. I'm not sure I could watch it without him presenting it. But then I've also watched a couple of the Grand Designs Australia and it's no less enjoyable. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: stfcinbmth on Friday, September 9, 2011, 07:42:36 That's a quality dream Sam. Quite agree. Any thoughts on the design Sam?

I want something with amazing views. Being perched on the side of a hill would be good. Then have floor to ceiling windows all round. Have you seen the one where the couple buy a derelict castle and build it back up again? They had an amazing roof terrace with big glass windows into the bedroom. That would be ideal.

Have you seen the one where the couple buy a derelict castle and build it back up again? They had an amazing roof terrace with big glass windows into the bedroom. That would be ideal. What about that Belfast monster? That was quite incredible. Slightly on the fucking huge size and in some respects a bit vulgar, but it remains one of my favourite Grand Designs mainly for the bargain price (when looking at the price relative to the home!) of about £300k by recollection. http://www.thomasoharearchitects.com/TOHAwebsite080410/Private%20Res%20blog/5D33557E-4209-42F2-94AC-B8D26AEF5A0E.html http://www.channel4.com/programmes/grand-designs/4od#2921789 Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Friday, September 9, 2011, 11:54:57 The Walking Dead is back on soon :D

"The way the younger additions seem to naturally slot on to the older exterior has given a lease of life to the dilapidated shell. The ancient crumbling brickwork has a look of fresh excitement, without hiding the true age of the features".
That might be true Kevin, but are describing a house or an OAP who has got three wrinkly digits knuckle deep in a 15 year old? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: flammableBen on Friday, September 9, 2011, 13:22:30 I fucking hate the cunt.

I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now I've got no more to watch. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Monday, September 12, 2011, 08:37:31 You can find The Corner, which the blokey did before making The Wire. Lots of regular cast members doing main character or one scene roles.

I watched the first series of 15 Storeys High last night, Sean Lock is fucking brilliant. I've also started on series 1 of Big Train, which despite having a cast containing Simon Pegg, Mark Heap and Kevin Eldon, I just don't find it that funny...

Sean Lock is the man, he's second only to Jim Jefferies/Jeffries in my opinion. I've been meaning to buy 15 Storeys High for quite a while, I really should do it! The show is apparently co-written by Mark Lamarr (under a pseudonym). Hilarious Sean Lock clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5b2br7vvBU Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Monday, September 12, 2011, 16:40:16 Anyone else watching the new series of Curb Your Enthusiasm? Used to be one of the best things on tv but it's going downhill rapidly. He's just getting up to crazier and crazier shit which is even more unbelievable and far too predictable.

Fucking brilliant. Thanks to whoever mentioned it! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, September 22, 2011, 08:27:53 Thought Fresh Meat was trying a bit too hard to be like the Inbetweeners. Not a bad thing if you pull it off, but they didn't yet. Maybe it will improve as the characters become more familiar.
Also slightly disappointed with The Fades. Didn't grab me as much as this type of show normally does. Can't quite put my finger on why. Still, again early days, I think it could be good.

The first Strikeback series was a bit rubbish (I don't know how they managed to move away from the book so much, when there was no need for it), so I gave the second a miss. Seems I was too quick to judge. I watched the first season of Warehouse 13 and quietly enjoyed it. I did like the cop bird though, so that makes it easier! It was like the first season of Leverage, in that I wasn't sure why I watched it, but strangely found myself drawn to it - it was utter rubbish though. :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Sunday, October 16, 2011, 14:52:21 The first Strikeback series was a bit rubbish (I don't know how they managed to move away from the book so much, when there was no need for it), so I gave the second a miss.

To be honest, I think having read the book the first series was based on might have ruined it. As we all know, most books tend to be better than the film (series in this case). Unfortunately they made a series based in one of his worst books and then changed one of the better parts of the story for no obvious reason. Watchman would've made a good series.

Up to the end of series 3 and may buy boxsets for 4 onwards as waiting for each new episode on a Wednesday takes ages. Didn't watch it originally as I figured it would be like A team with noone getting whacked etc. but its pretty full on to be fair. Probably a few other US shows I have dodged that are worth a go.

Didn't watch it originally as I figured it would be like A team with noone getting whacked etc. but its pretty full on to be fair. Probably a few other US shows I have dodged that are worth a go. The Sopranos is fantastic tv, watched them all originally and watching them all again on Sky. The only disappointment for me was the final ever episode, which seemed a massive anti-climax. The only other series I make sure I record at the moment is Boardwalk Empire, also on Sky Atlantic, another great US export. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: A Gent Orange on Thursday, October 20, 2011, 09:56:31 The Sopranos is stunning but I do think it sags in the middle. Two of the season mirror each other too closely in terms of the main threat - Ritchie and Ralphie is it? And Tony's horse. They felt like what they were, extra seasons bolted onto the three-part narrative to satisfy the networks and Chase's wallet. I liked the ending though. It had to be ambivalent, or Scarface.
On balance it has dated and looks very soapy next to The Wire. I'm also going to mention Homicide: Life on the Street which also looks pretty safe now but gave us David Simon and lots of the things The Wire would build on - naturalistic dialogue, wobbly cam, and genuinely morally ambivalent cops and robbers.

For the record, my other favourites of the last 20 years are probably Men Behaving Badly, Peep Show, The Inbetweeners, Frasier and Scrubs (I watch a lot of TV). They all, however, pale into insignificance when compared with Blackadder.

Would love to know how he does some the stuff. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Summerof69 on Thursday, November 3, 2011, 19:56:54 I've begun to quite enjoy The Big Bang theory. Best comedy of the past twenty years goes to Gavin & Stacey though. It really is wonderful. Big Bag Theory is much better. New series starts tonight on E4 at 8. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Thursday, November 3, 2011, 20:28:20 Yeh, he is very good. Would love to know how he does some the stuff. Its the mobile phone in a bottle that gets me. Some people on line reckon its all camera trickery, can't see it myself. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Langers on Thursday, November 3, 2011, 20:35:09 Its the mobile phone in a bottle that gets me. Some people on line reckon its all camera trickery, can't see it myself. And the one where he goes through the glass, got to be some sort of camera trick, but then the people there are always shocked as well, unless that is all set up too, which seems very unlickly. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Thursday, November 3, 2011, 20:41:23 And the one where he goes through the glass, got to be some sort of camera trick, but then the people there are always shocked as well, unless that is all set up too, which seems very unlickly. My thinking exactly. Have you seen the one where he catches cigar smoke in his hand and makes it go through a coaster into a glass? Even with some sort of trickery its quite amazing. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Langers on Thursday, November 3, 2011, 21:00:17 Agree, really quite impressive stuff!
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, November 3, 2011, 21:12:52 You know that magic is exactly that - trickery. Right?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Thursday, November 3, 2011, 21:16:24 You know that magic is exactly that - trickery. Right? Fuck - you mean its not real ??????? Read the previous post when i refer to camera trickery ;D Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bogus Dave on Thursday, November 3, 2011, 21:37:58 You know that magic is exactly that - trickery. Right?

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: nevillew on Friday, November 4, 2011, 08:16:36 Frozen Planet has been ice so far. Corrected for you Ginginho. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Friday, November 4, 2011, 08:52:16 Thank you, Nev.
Although "Frozen Planet has been cool so far" may have been more apt. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Friday, November 4, 2011, 12:16:26 Anyone watch Life in a Day last night?
I quite enjoyed it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Friday, November 4, 2011, 12:31:54 I finally got around to watching some of that Dynamo matey. Fucking hell - absolutely mind boggling.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Notts red on Friday, November 4, 2011, 12:33:48 Life in a day was very random but some interesting stuff, I enjoyed it too.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Friday, November 4, 2011, 14:05:36 I finally got around to watching some of that Dynamo matey. Fucking hell - absolutely mind boggling. Its quite good I isn't it ? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Friday, November 4, 2011, 16:01:22 Yeh, he is very good. Would love to know how he does some the stuff. I honestly think its better not knowing. Take for example seeing Derren Brown spin 10 heads of a coin in a row. That was impressive. Then when he said it took him 9 hours to achieve, not so impressive. Or when Blaine (I think) got a member of the public to pick a playing card, and he threw it so that it "passed through glass" and it stuck to the inside of a shop window. Impressive. Until you know it was as simple as having an accomplice working on the inside of the shop who stuck it up during a distraction. It would be the same knowing how Dynamo does what he does. Could you or I pull it off, probably not as its highly skilled :) The guy is genius. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Friday, November 4, 2011, 21:07:15 I've been watching the first season of CSI Miami.
Is the bad over acting, the non stop cliche lines and unrealistic stories deliberate? Is that what makes it so popular? Are the other CSI shows the same? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: stfcinbmth on Friday, November 4, 2011, 21:57:17 I've been watching the first season of CSI Miami. Is the bad over acting, the non stop cliche lines and unrealistic stories deliberate? Is that what makes it so popular? Are the other CSI shows the same? Love CSI, but don't tend to analyse it too much, just take it for what it is, light hearted entertainment that passes the time if your chilling out. It's not meant to be real Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, November 4, 2011, 22:08:13 I've been watching the first season of CSI Miami. Is the bad over acting, the non stop cliche lines and unrealistic stories deliberate? Is that what makes it so popular? Are the other CSI shows the same? I agree with stfcinbmth. It's so cunty. I watch it all the time though. I love Horatio's cheesey one liners and the fact they explain everything to each other in ways that would never happen between knowledgable professionals. I used to love Calleigh Duquesne, until she started to look plastic. Now Natalia Boa Vista is where it's at. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: stfcinbmth on Saturday, November 5, 2011, 19:35:41 Now Natalia Boa Vista is where it's at.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 18:14:01 Fresh Meat was quite funny last night. Probably the best one yet actually. Jack Whitehall cracks me up in that programme.
Ricky Gervais' new show starts tonight. Not sure what that will be like but i'm going to give it a go. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 18:15:41 Fresh Meat was quite funny last night. Probably the best one yet actually. Jack Whitehall cracks me up in that programme. I am loathe to say I actually find him pretty funny in that show too. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 18:25:42 Fresh Meat has definitely got a lot better after a slow start, I've really enjoyed the last few episodes and i thought the first couple were really cack.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bosey on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 18:28:35 Fresh Meat has definitely got a lot better after a slow start, I've really enjoyed the last few episodes and i thought the first couple were really cack. Really? I thought the first 2 were wank and stopped there. Might give it another chance, will i need to catch up to understand the plots? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 18:33:34 You'd probably be better off doing that. The main negative with the show is that an hour seems quite long to build up to the amusing conclusion.
One show I've not caught as often as I'd have liked is Him & Her over on BBC 3. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bosey on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 18:37:57 I would recommend Archer. An animated series with a retarded MI5 spy. I watched a few online and was in stitches, then a year later it appeared on Channel 5, or 5 USA, one of the "5" channels on sky... If you like Family Guy, American Dad etc then this is for you.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: thedarkprince on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 22:14:02 To be honest, I don't like most of Merchant & Gervais' stuff as I find it too cringe-worthy. Some episodes of Extras (series 1) and the Office were good but far too many were completely crap to warrant the arse-licking from the media that these two get.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 22:14:22 Was a bit weird watching someone do what felt like a Ricky Gervais impression.
The Liam Neeson scene was bloody brilliant though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 22:21:43 The Liam Neeson scene was bloody brilliant though. Pretty much sums Gervais up - living off of famous celebrities who are falling over themselves to be associated with him. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Paolo69 on Thursday, November 10, 2011, 22:26:54 Thought it was half decent myself. Amusing in places without being brilliant but may be a grower. The Liam Neeson scene was definitely the highlight though admittedly.

the Liam Neeson bit was genius though Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Saturday, November 12, 2011, 18:00:43 Found Lifes too short very average. Maybe it'll improve, it will need to.

Yeah, that's my feelings. The Office and Extras were both great, but this is nothing new, it's a cross between the two, but with a dwarf as Brent. Saying that, the Liam Neeson sketch was great. There's enough there to make me watch the others. An Idiot Abroad was quite enjoyable though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Saturday, November 12, 2011, 22:21:14 Is anyone else watching Southland on More4?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Sunday, November 13, 2011, 10:11:03 Oooh I totally forgot about Southland. The first series was brilliant even with that cunt from the OC in it.
The Walking Dead is still going pretty strong. The last episode was probably the dullest of the lot but it seemed to set a few future story lines up. 3rd series is already confirmed and the next episode looks like it could be an absolute cracker. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, November 13, 2011, 10:11:55 Misfits on again tonight. It's good entertainment.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Sunday, November 13, 2011, 16:40:58 The Walking Dead is still going pretty strong. The last episode was probably the dullest of the lot I've found pretty much the entire second season a complete snoozefest. I'm not sure how they've made a zombie storyline boring, but they have. I know there were problems with the writers behind the scenes, I hope this is just "transition" issues. Its a shame, because I really really enjoyed the first season. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Sunday, November 13, 2011, 16:51:33 Misfits on again tonight. It's good entertainment. Oooh yeah the new one tonight. Didn't think much of last weeks to be honest.I've found pretty much the entire second season a complete snoozefest. I'm not sure how they've made a zombie storyline boring, but they have. I know there were problems with the writers behind the scenes, I hope this is just "transition" issues. Its a shame, because I really really enjoyed the first season. I've enjoyed most of it.

Not at Inbetweeners standards for me though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, November 16, 2011, 13:58:13 I watch it in the hope that it will get better. It doesn't.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 18:03:33 Discussing which episode of Life's Too Short is best is a bit like comparing dog shit, sure one may not smell as badly as the others but its still dog shit.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 23:48:21 I've found Life's too short a bit shit to be honest. It's ewok dude playing david brent in a mediocre office-extras cross over. It's had its moments, but in general has felt a bit weak.
I really enjoyed the first Charlie Brooker thing on C4 on sunday, although I thought some of the media discussion points were a bit forced. I came away wondering if I'd have sex with a pig to save someone's life, and that's the sort of thinking that only great telly can make.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Sunday, January 22, 2012, 08:02:47 Hustle used to be good, terrible now. Agreed, just rehashing old episodes now.

Was the book a best seller?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, January 23, 2012, 22:03:39 The book is excellent. I've heard that. Couldn't get into it on the box last night at all though. I'll try the book if its available on Kindle.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Notts red on Monday, January 23, 2012, 22:36:46 Did you watch it last night Lee? I will go and get the book now but wish I'd done it the other way round.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: leefer on Monday, January 23, 2012, 22:44:37 Would say the book is more about the tunnelers during WW1...the TV seemed to be a bit more focused on the love story.
Was good though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: thedarkprince on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, 09:08:56 Anyone watch Coppers? It's a great little documentary series that focuses on different roles each week - CID, beat bobbies, etc. Shows the banality of what they do: capturing criminals, locking them up, seeing them released and then they re-offend all over again.
The start always makes me chuckle. "Whoop! Whoop! It's the sound of the police!" Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, 10:04:50 Yep great watch, shows the police in a very positive light
Certainly shows how much of their time they have to waste over and over again on the same minor % of work-shy druggie/alcoholic scum of this country.

Also the first episode of spartacus:vengeance has been leaked. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, February 19, 2012, 15:17:02 Started watching Kitchen Nightmares, I quite enjoyed it and watched the lot.
When there were none left to watch, I tried the US version. It was fucking awful and I didn't even get through the first one.

It's brilliant! Top Gear normally has at least one poor episode a series, which is disappointing when the series is only 6 eps long..

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: oxford_fan on Thursday, March 8, 2012, 14:40:26 The Tube is the best program on telly at the moment, though the last episode wasn't as good as the other two.

Well, I suppose you've been out the country for a bit!!! Love the show - are you going through them all. Is it the first episode (the wrestlers tomb) you're watching? Shame they dont seem to be making anymore. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, March 11, 2012, 17:28:18 Going through the first series now, currently on episode 4
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DV on Sunday, March 11, 2012, 17:34:00 Episode 2 of the first series is probably my favourite of the lot. Actually now I've said that Episode 3 of series 2 is probably better imo.
Have you figured any of them out whilst watching - or has the ending always come as a surprise so far? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, March 11, 2012, 17:40:09 I sort of figured out the one where the old boy was killed in the bunker

The trailers made me think it's going to be another "Lost", but I have the first episode in my planner, to test it out. The moment it looks like it's posing too many stupid questions, it's getting the yellow button treatment.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 17:36:39 The Walking Dead - epic finale.
Watching Alcatraz and Suits at the moment. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bogus Dave on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 17:52:16 Watched the first episode of bored to death last night, seems decent
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: thedarkprince on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 18:52:12 The Walking Dead - epic finale. Really? I was a little disappointed to be honest, could've been so much better of the farm scenes had lasted longer. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: thedarkprince on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 18:52:44 Sounds like I need to get involved with Homeland. Thanks all.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 19:07:20 Really? I was a little disappointed to be honest, could've been so much better of the farm scenes had lasted longer. Mmm, I get where you're coming from - I'm easily please :D and extended final episode would've been nice though. SPOILERS I liked how Rick has finally turned though. The introduction of Michonne at the end was exciting too. She's a lot like how Shane ended up being, she's a goodie, just unhinged too. Merle will also be back in series 3 along with The Governor. The finale got 9 million viewers in the U.S, hopefully that's enough for the network to increase the budget after it was cut for this series. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: tans on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 19:14:31 I watched alcatraz on sky last night
Not bad Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 20:12:29 Hmmm, first Total Wipeout gets canned, now this
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a373805/yes-prime-minister-returning-for-new-series-on-uktv-gold.html Quote Classic BBC sitcom Yes, Prime Minister is being remade by UKTV's comedy channel Gold. A new six-episode run of the series is being produced by BBC Productions and will feature modern day twists as it follows the day-to-day activities of hapless Rt Hon Jim Hacker The Prime Minister's new challenges will include leading a coalition government, European economic turmoil and a Scottish independence referendum. Hacker's advisors Sir Humphrey Appleby and principal private secretary Bernard Woolley will also return. In the 1980s original, the late Paul Eddington played Hacker, while Nigel Hawthorne starred as Appelby and Derek Fowlds as Woolley. "We're not just bringing it back because it was a brilliant show in its time, we think it's the right moment. There's so much going on in politics and we couldn't think of a better time to lampoon and ridicule that," said UKTV's chief exec Darren Childs. BBC comedy head Mark Freeland said that the success of Yes, Prime Minister theatre tours had proved that the "iconic comedy has lost none of its satirical bite". Written by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn, the original Yes Minister aired between 1980 and 1984. The sequel, Yes, Prime Minister, ran from 1986 to 1988. Yes, Prime Minister was named the UK's sixth favourite sitcom of all time in 2004 and was famously rumoured to be the favourite TV show of ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Suppose with the original writer on board it might be good, but the original was a classic and should be left that way. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, March 30, 2012, 09:21:23 In hindsight I enjoyed The Walking Dead, it was a bit slow, but I did enjoy it overall. I, like thedarkprince, wouldn't describe the last episode as epic though Benzel!
Started watching Touch, that looks good and I'm meaning to catch up on Alcatraz as I have 2 episodes in my planner. Also, after not using BitTorrent for years - I used to hate waiting for a week with part completed films/files - I tried it over the weekend. I downloaded seasons 1-4 of Breaking Bad, 1-9 of Family Guy, 1-9 of Scrubs, 1-6 of Dexter and some films. All of those series' were programmes I enjoyed yet either missed a few episodes and stopped (Dexter and Breaking Bad), or have just watched episodes all over the place (Scrubs and Family Guy). Win. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Processed Beats on Friday, March 30, 2012, 09:30:50 Watched the first couple of episodes of Alcatraz last night. Hooked.

The thick of it is pretty much covers all needed whitehall satire these days. Yes Minister with swearing. Marvellous. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: china red on Friday, March 30, 2012, 14:57:31 Watching episode 2 of Alcatraz, good recommendation. Touch is excellent too, episode 3 is downloading now and can't wait.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Friday, March 30, 2012, 15:39:12 I've seen the first 3 episodes of Alcatraz and while I am intrigued, it's not something I race home to watch on my planner.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Saturday, March 31, 2012, 11:07:17 I've seen the first 3 episodes of Alcatraz and while I am intrigued, it's not something I race home to watch on my planner. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm more concerned about being sucked into another Lost style drama that has no ending, no meaning and no point. I'll judge at the end of the first series. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Saturday, March 31, 2012, 11:09:04 I worry there won't be a second series of Alcatraz. I'm enjoying it, but it gives me the same feeling as the 4400/Flash Forward/Heroes. I hope I'm wrong.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Thursday, April 5, 2012, 19:51:09 I've just started watching Once Upon A Time - a bit like Lost but with fairy tales (characters include Snow White, Jiminy Cricket, Rumplestiltskin, Red Riding Hood, Prince Charming etc). Sounds shit but the way they've done it is clever and it works.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: carbonwhite on Friday, April 6, 2012, 20:41:41 just finshed watching american horror story pretty good series.
also wathching grimm, isnt too bad either. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 00:35:42 Recently discovered Dexter.
Watched about 8 episodes in about 3 days. Loving it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 08:45:37 I worry there won't be a second series of Alcatraz. I'm enjoying it, but it gives me the same feeling as the 4400/Flash Forward/Heroes. I hope I'm wrong. I thought this too but it's getting better now, I almost gave up as it was a but samey, but more of the story is coming out now. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 09:19:43 Don't get me wrong Chubbs, I really enjoy it and I'm only 4 episodes in. But ratings in US were down towards the end and they have a habit of being dipshits and cancelling things when that happens.
Mind you, the BBC are on the same path now. They just cancelled The Fades. Still at least with the money saved we can get a 235th series of Two Pints...hooray. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: china red on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 09:21:38 The Fades was cancelled? Thats not good.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Processed Beats on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 10:33:05 I finished watching Alcatraz the other day and enjoyed it on the whole. True, it got a bit repetitive with the whole prisoner turns up, starts killing people before eventually being caught/killed but the last few episodes really reveal a lot about the story and it finishes on a right royal cliffhanger. I honestly am intrigued to know the rest of the story, so hopefully they choose to renew it!
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: carbonwhite on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 18:20:30 considering they spat the last 4 episodes of alcatraz in the states over the course of 9 days tells me they wont be making a 2nd season
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: nochee on Sunday, April 8, 2012, 20:18:24 I've heard that. Couldn't get into it on the box last night at all though. I'll try the book if its available on Kindle. I just checked and Birdsong is available for £3.99 on the Kindle. I will give it a go at that price, bargain Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: nochee on Sunday, April 8, 2012, 20:21:09 Started watching the ridiculous but oddly compelling Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Saddened to read the lead actor died of cancer in September with diagnosis to death in 18 months. Im watching season 3: Vengeance. It's a great show Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 21:48:33 That programme tonight with camcorder footage of the concordia sinking was well worth watching.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, April 15, 2012, 19:25:19 I watched the season finale of Six Feet Under last night, absolutely incredible. Definitely my second favourite TV series of all time and worth watching and persevering with if you've not seen it - the development of the characters, the dark humour and the way it deals with mortality is brilliant.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Sunday, April 15, 2012, 21:12:48 I'm sticking with Homelands - I kind of understand it but I kind of don't Watched the whole series last week, very good. Season 2 is being made at the moment. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DRS on Sunday, April 15, 2012, 21:15:04 Probably the best show i have seen in years Berniman.Twists are brilliant.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Monday, April 16, 2012, 08:17:55 It was very good, especially the last couple of episodes. Not sure where it can go for season 2, and part of me thinks they should leave it there, but looking forward to it all the same.
Halfway through Entourage at the moment. Missed it first time around so am watching it from beginning to end. Started slow but is growing on me big time now. The characters are ace.

It's a great show spartacus is superb, love it. some of the kills are insaneTitle: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, April 16, 2012, 09:14:16 also started season 1 of homeland, whcih i am quite enjoying.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Monday, April 16, 2012, 09:31:25 Last night's epsisode of Homeland was quality, things started to really click for me in terms of the storyline twists being explained.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DRS on Monday, April 16, 2012, 09:45:36 Said it a few times but the twists get even better. Once you see the last 2 you will see just how easy a 2nd episode will be to make
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, April 16, 2012, 10:51:24 I only have one episode of Spooks left to watch. Been putting it off because I don't want it to end :(

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, April 16, 2012, 17:08:27 I'm still plodding through Series 2 of The Wire but really enjoying it.
Also re-discovered the joys of Phone Shop over the weekend. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: janaage on Monday, April 16, 2012, 17:11:36 also started season 1 of homeland, whcih i am quite enjoying. Anywhere on line I can catch up with homeland? As starting on episode 9 & 10 was good but think it'd be a lot better if I'd seen episodes 1-8. 4oD only shows from epi 6 onwards due to 30 day licensing issues. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: pumbaa on Monday, April 16, 2012, 20:05:24 Sounds like I might need to add Homeland to the growing list of series I need to watch from the beginning. Like Spooks and Sherlock.

Have watched the last couple of episodes and I think it's great. Not in a "Ha ha, lets laugh at the freaks" kind of way, it's actually quite heart warming. I really feel for Justin, comes across as a nice bloke and was pleased that woman agreed to meet him and has also said she wants to see him again. Have also been watching Touch. The idea is good, but so far it's been a let down to be honest, the stories have been average and it isn't gripping at all. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, April 19, 2012, 08:06:02 really getting into homeland. glad i started watching it.

After the first episode I thought it looked like it was going to be superb and felt it would be a must watch, but now it seems each episode is pretty much the same just with a different number and chain reaction of events. It's a shame really, because it seemed to promise so much.

I am into Alcatraz at the minute, like has been said before the basic story of prisoner comes back kills some people, but i am really wanting to finding out what's going on. Just started to watch that fairytale programe thing on channel 5. I thought it was ok. I am struggling to get into Grimm, its not gripped me as much say alcatraz or homeland.

I still think Prison Break is the best ever. I watched all of Lost when it aired and have since watched in from the start again. The amount of things you wont notice first time round (because you havent seen all of it obviously) is staggering. They knew where they were going from the start. The first 2/3 seasons were good, it dragged in the middle and got better at the end in my opinion. I think they dragged it out for a season or 2 they didnt need - but did so to cash in, also I believe it got effected by the writers strike. The end, is satisfying but not completely satisfying if that makes sense without giving the whole thing away. Title: Re: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, April 23, 2012, 14:49:09 Personally thought the end was a massive anti climax, but it was always going to be hard to answer everything I suppose.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DV on Monday, April 23, 2012, 15:50:46 I wouldnt say a massive anti climax.
It was a good ending but not good enough to answer everything I wanted answered. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Monday, April 23, 2012, 15:57:03 I watched lost from the beginning and by the end was just waiting to see what happend which was a massive let down.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: chalkies_shorts on Monday, April 23, 2012, 22:03:00 Game of thrones is still excellent. Jerome Flynn saying "theres' no cure for being a cunt" makes it all the more surreal.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 07:30:15 Now finished Homeland, really enjoyed it, a gripping story and some fantastic acting.
The only slight issue I have with it is perhaps it was too long, some of the episodes in the middle were a bit dull and they could've easily reduced the story to around 8 episodes. Other than that it was well worth watching, especially the last two episodes. Oh, and I love Claire Danes a little bit. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Joycie on Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 08:56:31 Am i the only one who thinks 2 Broke Girls is actually a bit funny? The advert is seriously rage inducing. The dark haired bint is meant to be witty, but is seriously the dumbest looking/sounding little shite around. No one else i have talked to agrees :D Get involved in Game of Thrones (if you aren't already), the scenes between Arya and Tywin are great. Arrested Development & It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are worth a watch. As is The Wire. Obvo.

You could pinpoint exactly where they knew they weren't getting another season, and from then on shit just seemed to happen for no reason.
I was told to avoid Alcatraz as well so I'm not surprised it's being axed. Stick to HBO and occasionally AMC stuff. In the case of AMC, they tend to make short first seasons in the hope that it'll fund longer seasons thereafter.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Saturday, May 19, 2012, 17:22:49 Keith Lemon is fucking ace. He should light the torch for the olympics over David Beckham any day

They have just announced a 4th season, though it will only be 15 episodes which usually means it will be the last. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bogus Dave on Thursday, May 31, 2012, 09:22:02 Yeah, they've announced a 4th season but sacked most of the writers. I'm not expecting much
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Joycie on Thursday, May 31, 2012, 15:14:47 Just started Modern Family. It's pretty brilliant.
And the last episode of Game of Thrones was outstanding. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Thursday, May 31, 2012, 17:30:54 And the last episode of Game of Thrones was outstanding. I've thought the second series is terrible and has gone down hill from the first. Too many different story lines at the same time, makes it difficult to keep track and easy to lose interest. Reckon they could have presented it a lot better. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Thursday, May 31, 2012, 17:39:44 I think game of thrones is ace and you get the feeling there's still plenty more to come yet, whereas many other series run out of ideas quickly.
The totty factor is another plus. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: FormerlyPlymRed on Thursday, May 31, 2012, 18:17:04 And the last episode of Game of Thrones was outstanding.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 22:55:53 Just watched the season 3 finale of community. Been watching this from the beginning over the long weekend, halfway through season 3 now. Think Chevvy Chase is the star of the show, he might be getting on a bit but he's still got it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 00:14:43 Whaaaat?! Chase's character is one of the weakest I'd say. The show relies much more on danny pudi than it does chevy chase
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 07:10:54 Agree, Abed is quality and really owns the show in season 3.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 08:27:40 As the seasons go by you get more than an impression that the network has been meddling with the dynamic of Community but it didn't take a huge hit due to the quality of its writing. Episodes were more or less evenly distributed to start with but the shift has definitely moved towards Pudi, Glover, McHale, Jeong and Rash leaving the female cast to giggle and be ditzy (perhaps that's harsh but they certainly had more going for them earlier in the shows history).
Chase has been reduced to bits and pieces but I'm sure dear old Chevy has only himself to blame as (history proves) he's a bit of a knobhead. I expect to see more of Chase now that Dan Harmon has left the show. Community's unique quirks have been, in U.S. television terms, era defining but it's going the way of Arrested Development as a result of it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: 4D on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 10:39:49 one of the only regular programs I watch is silk.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 10:58:18 Silk is very good too. It is like an English version of The Good Wife, which is also very good.

Chase has been reduced to bits and pieces but I'm sure dear old Chevy has only himself to blame as (history proves) he's a bit of a knob head. Chase gets a lot of one liners and delivers them perfectly, whilst not the star of the show he doesn't seem to have lost it. Watching it back to back it gets crazier to the point of becoming a farce, not saying that's a bad thing but you definitely notice the change. One thing I like about US comedy is the long seasons which give the characters a chance to develop, especially the supporting ones. The dean is a great character who would have been nothing more than an occasional bit part character in the UK.

The dean is a great character who would have been nothing more than an occasional bit part character in the UK. Watching it back-to-back in seasons 1 and 2 is brilliant but its quality does dip in season 3 (it had high, high standards as we know). The one liner is enough for the audience and the show (and for me) but I doubt it's enough for Chase. I'm a big fan of Chevy Chase, the reason I first downloaded Community back in '09 was because it was his return to mainstream comedy, but never underestimate the guys ego. The 20+ episode thing only works for the best of the best. Many have perished due to the commissioning of too many episodes from the start. Some US comedies/versions (The Office, Parks & Rec, It's Always Sunny..., Workaholics) have started with 6-10 seasons and got bigger, I prefer this model because even if it's cancelled you've still got a nice cult classic with a start and finish (Andy Barker PI, Incidentally, the comedy 'Workaholics' has gone to 20 odd episodes for its third season so I'll be interested to see how it copes. It's a good immature guilty pleasure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML_yKt_SzvI&feature=relmfu Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 13:18:16 Been watching Hit and Miss on Atlantic - trans-sexual hitman(woman).

its really good twisted humour from the US (think arrested development) and in the later series stars danny devito! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Sunday, June 24, 2012, 10:11:48 I'm a happy owner of the Six-Pack. The last season had a bit of a dip but it's still quite strong.

Conversely I tend to attempt the same thing with How I Met Your Mother but I end up properly watching it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Sunday, July 1, 2012, 14:29:34 BBT is like many a comedy. It was good at the beginning when the characters were developing. It reached a high point in around the 3rd season. The 4th was on the downward trend (but with a few good episodes) but by the 100th episode they had run out of ideas and the subsequent stuff was poor. I fear for season 6 - but will watch it when it comes out in September!

Some great characters too, Ziggy, Frank and Nick are amongst my favourites.

There is little character development and you're basically watching their daily life over a few years and you can sum up the entire show in a sentence - some cops going after some drug dealers.

Sure stuff happens but come the end of it everything is pretty much back where it started. Not saying it makes it a bad show but it's not something I can get too excited about. Think it becomes a lot more noticeable when you watch the entire thing back to back in a short space of time, which I did.

Pretty big point of the show, that as much as mayors, police heads etc say there's going to be change, nothing ever changes. Highlights the struggle the lower level cops (McNulty, Daniels etc) have when trying to make a difference. Having every character go from drug dealer to born again great guy isn't realistic, so isn't in the show. Look at Omar's character for example. Absolute nutcase on the street, seemingly not afraid of death, then shows his other side, flaming homosexual who cares about his partner(s) and shows a crazy level of emotion. If you like simplistic stuff, very easy to spot 'character development' and obvious themes/messages, I'd stick to E4 etc. They have plenty of garbage that cater for folk who like that sort of tv.

Totally agree - it was deliberate and the point of the show, almost a documentary type angle to it. Again, not saying it makes it bad but it's not for me. If you like simplistic stuff, very easy to spot 'character development' and obvious themes/messages, I'd stick to E4 etc. They have plenty of garbage that cater for folk who like that sort of tv.

I get the feeling from watching 1 episode of the final season that it's gonna be epic. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 23:01:21 I've just started watching Breaking Bad too. I'm on series 2 and I think it may try my patience a little bit, but I really enjoyed the first series.

It's about 4 years old and was swiftly cancelled but when I read the plot summary I had to give it a go. I was hoping for 'so bad it's good' but it was just bad.
It's about a colonial solider who saves the life of a native and to show her gratitude she makes him immortal.

I don't have very high hopes though as I have an extremely low tolerance and opinion of JJ Abrams style.

Also had bedlam but deleted the shit after a few minutes. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Monday, August 20, 2012, 19:47:27 Just started watching New Girl, mainly for Zooey Deschanel. First few episodes are terrible but it gets a lot better.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: @MacPhlea on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 09:07:12 Watched the first episode of Strike Back last night - very much In the mould of spooks - fight scenes were a bit weak but I'll give episode 2 a go... Anyone else seen this?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: london_red on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 09:12:39 Yeah I'm about half way through the second season - Strike Back:Project Dawn. Better than the first season I think - becomes a bit more 24 than spooks. Very decent entertainment if not the most intellectual show.

Series 5 is still better than almost all other series 1's of other programs. As I said before, the writer of this made Generation Kill after The Wire so give that a watch if you find it.

Series 5 is still better than almost all other series 1's of other programs. I think season 3 or 4 got hit by the writers strike so wained a little - overall I loved watching every night when t was on BBC2 a few years agoAs I said before, the writer of this made Generation Kill after The Wire so give that a watch if you find it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 12:45:44 I think all of the series are brilliant, particularly 1 and 4. I'm with Samdy on this, it's a weird feeling knowing that there will be no more Wire as you approach the end of series 5 and although it's good to watch again it's never the same.
I need to check out Generation Kill, has anyone else been watching Treme? Another program from David Simon and not so different from the Wire in terms of the politics etc. I've got The Corner to watch but haven't got round to it yet. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 12:47:53 I started watching Treme a while back but found it slower than The Wire to get into.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 12:55:41 Once i'm done with Breaking Bad (halfway through season two), I might give The Wire another go. I've attempted it a couple of times but gave up after a couple of episodes, but everyone seems to say it's brilliant, so will persevere with it.
Having said that, people were raving about Community, I gave up on that halfway through season two. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 13:00:18 Treme isn't that slow, I think it's just that there are so many sub-plots going on simultaneously that it feels as though things take a while to develop or reach a resolution.
It also stars everyone's favourite recovering heroine addict Harley from The Wire/Steve Earle.

Having said that, people were raving about Community, I gave up on that halfway through season two. I'm with you. I've ground to a halt midway through Season 2 of Breaking Bad. I do plan on continuing, but it's hard to find the enthusiasm for slow programmes. I also found The Wire slow as fuck and I plodded through Series 3 & 4, which was like watching paint dry, but although I was enjoying season 5, I stopped watching for no apparent reason. I will start again when my my planner's empty and I'm at a real loss for something to do. :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 13:03:56 I've got The Corner to watch but haven't got round to it yet.

It gets much better towards the end and season 3 is fantastic. Got to wait until October for the DVD over here though.The only other show that gives the Wire a run for its money is Six Feet Under. Much slower and requires more patience but it is truly wonderful: Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 13:09:52 The only other show that gives the Wire a run for its money is Six Feet Under.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 13:10:19 No sorry, it's not that slow, I think I just got bored with it - I don't know why - I loved Season 1. I think I struggle to watch anything that's longer than a few episodes these days!
The Wire is slow though, but although I'm not finished, I think Season 5 will leave me remembering it fondly. I felt exactly the same about season two but was bullied into watching the rest. It gets much better towards the end and season 3 is fantastic. Got to wait until October for the DVD over here though. Part of me knows that Breaking Bad is going to be good. I just love the concept behind it. It's too well liked for it to be no good. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 13:12:36 The Sopranos? I'll see your Sopranos and raise you Last of the Summer Wine. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 13:12:48 The Sopranos? shamefully I have never watched it.I do have a Norwegian series called Lillyhammer to watch which stars Steve van Zandt(?). It's about a former mobster who testifies at a trial in exchange for witness protection and a new life in Lillehammer. It's supposed to be very amusing: Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 07:07:22 Sopranos is No.1 for me. Followed by Breaking bad and then the wire. All other mentioned are very good also (Treme, The Corner etc.)
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 08:37:41 Chalk up another one for The Sopranos.
The West Wing does give it a run for its money though Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 09:29:35 Was 24 any cop? Never seen that either.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: walcot red on Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 09:45:46 Was 24 any cop? Never seen that either. 24 was ok, but it get got very very predictable and repetive, bad guy comes along, but there is a bigger bad guy pulling the strings, jack bauer says 'dammit' alot, and there never seems to be any secruity checks done in ctu as there is always a mole. working for the bad guy. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 09:46:33 I found 24 far too long, I know that was the gimmick (24 x 1 hour episodes set through the course of a day), but it dragged on and on.
I watched the whole of series 2, which was pretty good, but gave up half way through series 3. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 10:37:28 Sopranos is the best TV show ever in my numble opinion. I have never watched the Wire though.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 12:36:25 Shamefully I still haven't watched The Sopranos.
I've got through the first 3 series of Breaking Bad and despite a limited premise it's still going strong.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Kinky Tom on Monday, September 3, 2012, 20:41:36 The conclusion to Season 5 of Breaking Bad was splendid. that was the end of the series? damn it, end of the first half, second to be shown in 2013.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 20:17:28 Just started watching Once Upon a Time. Best TV show ever. Fact. The way they mix in slightly twisted versions of all the different fairy tales is ace. Worried about where they are going to go with season 2 though, reckon it could all turn to shit.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Sunday, September 9, 2012, 03:26:48 Either way, we have to wait until next summer.

It was pretty good, Steven Van Zandt is still pretty much playing Silvio Dante but that isn't a bad thing. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Processed Beats on Tuesday, September 18, 2012, 13:06:59 I enjoyed the first episode of Revolution, NBC's new lost-style show.
The premise is pretty cool and I'm curious as to where they're going to go with it. Also, the scenes 15 years into the future in the post-apocalyptic are very, very good. Characters need a bit of work though. Definitely worth watching.

Hopefully as the series carries on I'll start to like some of them.The first episode didn't really grip me either unlike Lost for example. This program seems very Jericho-esque. I also think this may also go the same way as Terra Nova, Flash Forward and Alcatraz, I hope I'm wrong though. I'll give it another couple of episodes though, to see how things go.

Same thing happened with Silent Witness. A 2 parter was postponed because it was about asians grooming young girls. It was originally due to be shown at a time when a similar high profile case was in the news. It randomly appeared about 6 weeks ago, which was months later.

I thought it was beyond shit and up there in the shitness stakes with the last series they did on Dave. If they can't do justice to the original episodes they should leave it alone and move on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Resort_(U.S._TV_series) Sounds like it might be worth a watch. Watched the first episode last night. Wasn't bad but even for a US TV drama the plot was a bit unbelievable and I'm struggling to see how they can pad it out enough to last a season, let alone multiple seasons.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Monday, October 15, 2012, 16:29:49 I'd heard the rumours of Netflix picking it up but didn't realise they had and were already filming. Amazed they got the entire original cast back, especially Jason Bateman and Ron Howard, plus they've added a few other star appearances.
It's definitely up there with the best comedies ever. Typical of the Americans though, they come up with a great comedy but no one watches it (probably due to them not getting the humour and it being too clever for them) and it gets cancelled way too soon. Watched a great episode last night (S.O.B.'s, from season 3) which was made just after they got the news the season had been shortened and most likely cancelled. They make a blatant but feeble attempt to get another channel to pick it up instead. I guess the title is a reference to it as well. A perfect example of their humour and brilliantly written scripts.

Arrow is very good though, enjoying it very much. I have also just started watching the IT Crowd and enjoying that very much, very funny.

Think they've spent too long setting it up and trying to rescue the brother, more time on the conspiracy would be better. Though it gets me the way so many of these disaster type shows are so US centric. I know its a US show but I reckon more of a world wide perspective would make it better and more believable. It's like the rest of the world doesn't exist. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Notts red on Friday, November 2, 2012, 22:12:57 The Hunted which was on last night has been quite good.

Speaking of new(ish) I watched a programme many moons ago about a lip reading expert working out what Hitler was saying. That was quite interesting. Thats the one. Apart from Downfall, I haven't watched a lot about Hitler so for me it was quite interesting. I am sure the subject has been done to death, but I found it interesting. What got me was his public speaking, I was almost mesmerised watching him. Clearly a total madman but a fascinating character.

bloody good, that. anyone got theories on the finale of series 2? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 20:17:08 Yes, contains spoilers so highlight to read:
he's not dead. Otherwise series 3 will be a bit shit. In the original The Final Problem, where Holmes seemingly snuffed it over the Reichenbach Falls, he returned from the dead in The Adventure of the Empty House, I think he tried to convince Moriarty's accomplices he was dead - but that failed so he buggered off on a bit of a walkabout. So he's obviously faked his death, but we'll have to wait and see how... I have to admit when I heard about a modern day Sherlock I thought it would be shit. But its quite the opposite isn't it. Only 1 episode I wasn't enthralled with - the Baskeville's one. Has anyone seen the US rip off called Elementary? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 20:24:46 Started watching Arrested Development sfter reading this thread. Coming to the end of season 1 now. When does it start getting funny? Is the doctor in series 1? Only in a few episodes but his scenes are excellent, "he's going to be alright" still makes me laugh. Has anyone seen the US rip off called Elementary? I've been watching it. Not that bad and it's growing on me. Plus I'm a fan of Jonny Lee Miller - Eli Stone was ace. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 20:28:09 I've been watching it. Not that bad and it's growing on me. Plus I'm a fan of Jonny Lee Miller - Eli Stone was ace. Thanks, I'll try to hunt it down. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 20:32:06 Oh and Sonic, in the interest of not giving spoilers, highlight below
remind me, did Moriarty die, I can't remember. If he did my guess is it was his body that did the falling, but somehow Holmes switched as I'm sure we saw a close up of Holmes on the floor? Erm, he must have exit stage left again at some point though Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 21:33:14 Oh and Sonic, in the interest of not giving spoilers, highlight below you see Moriarty blow his brains out before Sherlock jumps. There is a close up shot of Holmes' body on the floor and given the difference in stature between Sherlock and Moriarty I don't think he used his body as a fake.There's two things that must be key but can't figure it out myself - Sherlock goes to Molly to ask for help but we don't know exactly what with but considering her medical knowledge and the fact she works in a mortuary, it's not difficult to guess. The other is that Watson gets knocked over by a cyclist when Sherlock jumps, this is filmed and shown in a very deliberate fashion so must be some sort of intentional distraction... anyway, we know he's alive and series 3 is on the way. My thoughts are more of how he is going to get around the fact that everyone - the public, the police and Lestrade - all think he is a fraud highlight for spoilers Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 21:40:17 What's with the spoilers tags? It was on TV 10 months ago. If someone ain't watched it by now that's their problem.
Even more stupid given that the original story upon which the episode was based and which it follows (Moriarty and Holmes have a final show down, both appear to die except it turns out Holmes faked his death) was first published just under 120 years ago.

Here http://www.tubeplus.me/browse/tv-shows/Last/ALL/ and here http://www.1channel.ch/ As Batch says series 2 was a bit off the boil, the last two eps of series 2 built it up nicely for series 3. It's the last epsiode before the mid-series break, so you'll have plenty of time to catch up. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Thursday, November 29, 2012, 18:37:11 Watching Ross Kemp in Afghanistan for the first time.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: carbonwhite on Saturday, December 1, 2012, 05:28:17 Series 2 Slow Pace was down to character development. If anyone watches the Talking Dead which is a chat show in the states dedicated solely to Walking Dead, they have a different character from the show talking about the show...anyway one of the recent episodes it was mentioned how much each character has changed a huge amount since series 2. And it would not have been that obvious if the stories based around the farm would have been rushed.
IMHO the pace was only slowed down because of the Shane/Rick/Lori story if things happened like they did in the comics then this could have been avoided. But like i said i liked the character development, most of all Daryl and also Carol and Sophie. With Merle and Daryl Getting a new first person shooting game i can see them playing a huge role over the next half of this series.

Close to becoming my favourite show on TV now, seems to get better every season. The acting is not the best, but the continous twists and action makes it a must see. The lead actor is a brit too, used to be in Byker Grove.
If you haven't watched it from the start, get on with downloading it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Friday, January 4, 2013, 11:04:42 Just breezed through most of series 1 of American Horror Story.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Thursday, January 10, 2013, 07:29:17 I can't watch american reality TV, it does my head in.
I thoroughly enjoyed Gordon Ramsey's UK series, for example, but on trying the yank one I must have lasted about 20 minutes into the first episode before turning it off. They have to have such dramatic music playing all the time (it's a restaurant ffs) and the people act like spoilt little bitches all the time.

It seemed to disappear mid-season or something last season? Was it season 7? As I only watch TV from my planner, I rarely see trailers, so did it restart or is this the restart? I was and am confused about exactly what happened. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Thursday, January 10, 2013, 16:05:38 I have Bones recorded and will watch it tonight.
It ended where she had been framed for murder by that Pelant bloke and she was going on the run. Not sure if that was the end of the series or a mid season break, but she was pregnant during filming so perhaps she left to have the baby. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, January 10, 2013, 16:11:01 Just downloaded all 13 episodes of "Testees" I really love its silly stupid humour, well worth watching if you haven't seen it.

Take last weeks episode when they had a man who went on a picnic & thought that cheese & marmite sandwiches would get him love or the Tourettes sufferers who shout the funniest things at the wrong times. Noting that I've yet to watch any of this series, but did the last, and that I have a son with Down's syndrome, I don't find it funny per se. I do however find it interesting and compulsive viewing, and it gives an insight as to what we might expect with our little one as he grows up. Like most programmes, everything is in the editing, so it could portray somebody in a completely different context. I don't like the title either, but appreciate 'A case study into those who have disabilities and might find dating a bit more difficult' isn't so catchy.... Might watch all three tonight. Again out of interest, what did people make of Kate (the girl with Down's syndrome) in last night's episode? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: LucienSanchez on Wednesday, January 23, 2013, 13:18:45 Kate highlighted my own massive (unacceptable) ignorance. I genuinely thought people with Down's required round-the-clock care, and (for want of a better phrase, sorry!!) couldn't contribute much to society in terms of productivity etc. How wrong I was, and it made me feel a bit rubbish. She came across as a perfectly capable, independent, hard-working "normal" (again, poor phrasing...) woman, who just wanted a proper adult relationship (although that was expressed a bit too much, possibly down to her learning difficulties).
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, January 23, 2013, 13:19:42 It's just the 21st century freak show isn't it? Point and laugh at the afflicted, and how different they are to us.

It was quite reassuring in a weird way. A bit like last week when I said Armstrong suffering from cancer didn't make make him exempt from being a cunt, I would say that having DS doesn't make you exempt from being a bit desperate/clingy. At the end of the day we're all human and we're all fucking mental. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, January 23, 2013, 13:34:52 I thought Kate was brilliant.

I do however find it interesting and compulsive viewing, and it gives an insight as to what we might expect with our little one as he grows up. Think it depends on how you look at it - are you laughing at someone with a disability or laughing at someone who is shit at dating? I take the latter view, I do a fair bit of voluntary work and don't view or treat people with disabilities any differently - why should it be any different when I'm watching a programme like that?

Large parts of the last scene were filmed from Tony's perspective, so when it goes black that was also Tony's perspective.... Capiche? Well, that was my guess. Just because of the entrance of AJ. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Tuesday, February 5, 2013, 17:09:27 Got through The Soprano's box set in just under 3 weeks, last week. Ending was a bit strange, and ended up being far too complicated that I had to google it. Just started 'House of Cards' on Netflix. Think people over analysed the ending to The Soprano's. Read an interview with the creator recently and he basically said if you're asking whether he was killed or not you've missed the point of the whole thing. Thought House of Cards was ace. Felt like a British drama and true to the style of the original (if I remember it correctly). Kevin Spacey was excellent throughout. There was one thing that I thought let it down but won't spoil it for others.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Langers on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 16:18:18 Did anyone see Black Mirror last night, any good?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 17:29:47 Yeah, once again I thought it was well written and raised some interesting ideas. Decent bit of tv.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 19:08:10 I watched the first season of Black Mirror this week, thought it was pretty cool. Hoping the 2nd is as good, haven't started yet.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Saxondale on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 19:20:42 Enjoyed it, very very dark. I like Brookers writing as you can see exactly where his ideas are coming from (last night - spoiler alert, computers and comapanies increasingly getting to know you and be able to market to your desires) to the extent that I end up going, yeah obviously, why cant I have ideas and write then I could have done that.
More to the point I guess he just articulates a lot of what I think. Being that he's a bitter misanthrope in his early 40's I suppose its not a surprise I identify with his viewpoint. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Langers on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 19:30:35 Cheers, I usually enjoy his programmes so will watch it later then.

Loving it. it's absolutely brilliant, enjoy.Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 19:38:00 Brooker's great. It's been interesting watch him change though- I still remember when he was a lonely, slightly chubby, bitter man with unfashionable gelled hair sitting in his basement wanking off over old people. Now he's married to Konnie Huq (at a Las Vegas drive thru no less), has fashionable hair, is thin(ner), is expecting a child, and doesn't masturbate for comic effect anymore!
Without a tv or iplayer I haven't seen his new weekly wipe, but someone described it as being like a panel/chat show, which just sounds like an abomination. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 19:43:57 Without a tv or iplayer I haven't seen his new weekly wipe, but someone described it as being like a panel/chat show, which just sounds like an abomination. It's still decent but his levels of smugness are starting to grate a little. The American and the talking head characters are fucking woefull. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Saxondale on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 20:08:44 Weekly wipe isnt as solidly funny as his older stuff but there are still parts that make me laugh out loud. Which as a bitter misanthrope isnt easy to do.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Saturday, February 16, 2013, 09:57:24 On the topic of Charlie Brooker, I saw episode 3 of weekly wipe and the first episode of the new series of Black Mirror last night. Weekly wipe is actually still very good, but the sets/surroundings do kind of set off in my mind that this isn't old Brooker anymore. Instead of an average suburban basement filled with normal clutter and detritus, he does his 'sitting in front of the tv' segments in an antique panelled room with a roaring log fire. Not very 'lonely misanthrope', more 'rich moaning twat'. Not that I think he is the latter, it just flags it up in my mind...
Black Mirror was fucking immense. I have not had a TV show bring up so many questions that remain unanswered in a long time. Me and my mate sat there for hours afterwards talking about the minutae. That episode is the best I've seen so far. Definitely worth a watch, particularly if you like near-future sci-fi like Children of Men or Looper etc. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Wednesday, March 6, 2013, 19:32:41 Parks & Recreation starts on BBC4 tonight. Similar to The Office (US) and worth watching for Ron Swanson alone.
Community has started up again in the US, might just be me but it seems to have gone downhill a bit - same old jokes and its getting boring. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, March 6, 2013, 19:39:02 Yeah, I watched Series one of Community and thought it was alright, gave up early into Series two.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, March 6, 2013, 23:21:25 Parks and Rec only really starts getting into its stride into season two, so don't judge it straight away if you're only getting into it now.
I'm not going to lie that community has its peaks and troughs, but writing it off at the beginning of season two is stupid. A lot of people got a bit uppity about the episodes in season four because of behind the scenes changes, but I honestly find that newer episodes on individual merit arent that much worse Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: dalumpimunki on Thursday, March 7, 2013, 07:29:48 I can't be arsed to go back through all the pages of this thread that I've missed in the last year, but in case it hasn't been mentioned, can I just say "Breaking Bad" is the absolute bollocks.
It might be the best TV drama I've ever seen. I know I said that about The Wire, and possibly Deadwood, but this might be even better. If you haven't seen it then watch it. It's worth signing up to Netflix (free for the first month), just for that and the US remake of House of Cards. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Thursday, March 7, 2013, 09:10:38 Parks and Rec only really starts getting into its stride into season two, so don't judge it straight away if you're only getting into it now. Absolutely. First series can be pretty average in places but you will be richly rewarded in season 2 if you stick with it.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Thursday, March 7, 2013, 10:35:00 The Walking Dead is starting to step it up again after a small lull in the series. I've not bothered with the last episode and the episode before that I switched off half way through. That shit is boooooooooring. I wonder how popular it would be if it didn't have the occasional zombie in it.? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jutty274 on Thursday, March 7, 2013, 12:44:51 The episode before the last one started crap but had a great ending & the last episode was quite good. Talking about Zombies i watched the film Cockneys vs Zombies last night it is well worth a watch just for Michelle Ryan but there are some great other roles including Richard Briers
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, March 7, 2013, 12:49:29 The episode before the last one started crap but had a great ending & the last episode was quite good.

No on FX but they haven't been great but they have been good, a lot of the yank shows have been going a bit stale recently.

I can think of plenty of dramas which can compete with Breaking Bad....Deadwood...Game Of Thrones...Sopranos...The Wire...Boardwalk Empire...Hell On Wheels...Dexter...OZ...Rome...Carnivale...Sons of Anarchy...The Walking Dead ;). Still a shame Breaking Bad hasnt been renewed.Also agree with this entirely. I can't think of a drama I've seen - ever - that can compete with Breaking Bad. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: dalumpimunki on Tuesday, March 19, 2013, 07:40:21 I can think of plenty of dramas which can compete with Breaking Bad....Deadwood...Game Of Thrones...Sopranos...The Wire...Boardwalk Empire...Hell On Wheels...Dexter...OZ...Rome...Carnivale...Sons of Anarchy...The Walking Dead ;). Still a shame Breaking Bad hasnt been renewed. I'm sort of with you for the first part of that list, although BB is the thing I've got into most recently, and so it sort of trumps the others for me at the moment (mind you very excited by the GoT return next month). After that though I think you're stretching it; Oz deserves respect as the granddaddy of all the high profile, high budget, long running US drama's, Dexter is fun, but Carnivale was a mess that got cancelled after one season, Rome and Sons of Anarchy are pretty much cartoons with nothing like the level of detailed characterisation that the others offer, and The WD is creaking as discussed elsewhere. BE I've not watched yet so I'll reserve judgement. BB has won all those Emmy's, and other TV awards for a reason. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, March 19, 2013, 08:40:58 BB has won all those Emmy's, and other TV awards for a reason. West Wing has 27 Emmy's (4th highest of all time) and is fucking epic. Yet it is never in the conversation for best US drama for some reason. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, March 19, 2013, 11:21:48 West Wing is brilliant
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BruceChatwin on Tuesday, March 19, 2013, 12:19:05 In terms of what is greatest, I think The Sopranos has the best cast of characters, The Wire's the most satisfyingly complete, and Breaking Bad the most exciting. Mad Men should be in the conversation, and Deadwood would have been if it hadn't been cancelled.
PS: I don't think BB's not been renewed CW, it's just coming to the natural conclusion of its story arc. Also, I think Carnivale was cancelled after 2 seasons lumps, but agree it's nowhere near the list of great shows. Wouldn't bother with Boardwalk Empire if I were you. Still enjoyable but not up there with the above (though maybe worth watching for Richard the wounded sniper). PPS: I think the characters in Rome are great, and not at all cartoonish (very difficult when you're dealing with historical figures), though it should have just been a single miniseries. We really are spoiled for TV drama these days. Just a shame in Britain we can't compete.

My memory of Carnivale was that I liked it but that it turned into a bit of a dogs dinner. Looking back it was probably the result of the writers trying to truncate the story line so that it concluded in season 2. Same thing happened with Jericho.

But it ticked so many boxes on my drama thumbs up lists I was willing to forgive it: True story Tragedy everyone knows but a story behind it not everyone does Detective story Political cover up (I love all programs about political cover ups) Maverick lead character with brilliant scientific mind Ethical and scientific flaws in pompous management exposed by brilliant scientific mind Twist at end British made programs like this come along on TV more rarely than Halley's Comet passes over the earth. Still available until 10.30pm tonight for anyone interested. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, March 25, 2013, 12:16:58 I must admit that I wasn't so aware of the attempted cover up, so the programme did add that educational aspect for me.
Brilliantly, as it finished, I flicked over to BBC Four to find A Beautiful Mind starting, so had an evening of Nobel Laureates. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: carbonwhite on Monday, March 25, 2013, 18:31:01 Agree with Barry, running out of ideas I think. Yeah they only have another what 17 books to carry on from.......Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: carbonwhite on Monday, March 25, 2013, 18:33:29 My memory of Carnivale was that I liked it but that it turned into a bit of a dogs dinner. Looking back it was probably the result of the writers trying to truncate the story line so that it concluded in season 2. Same thing happened with Jericho. Sort of the reverse of the problem that Heroes and Lost had, where both had at least one season where they looked like they were marking time because they didn't know how to finish them. Wasnt the writers strike going on around that time? i remember Lost and Heroes going abit sci wiff around that time.Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Monday, March 25, 2013, 18:54:00 Downloaded Seasons 4 and 5 of the simpsons, with seasons 6-9 on the go currently. It's easy to forget how good it used to be I'm currently re-watching them too (in order, because I'm just that anal). On season 9. It used to be so good! The Challenger was fucking great, if a bit over-dramatised. Superb example of the scientific method being THE most important tool humanity has ever developed. And screw politicians, seriously. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, March 25, 2013, 19:19:26 Really enjoyed The Challenger, missed it first time round but caught it on iPlayer yesterday.
Was only 5 or 6 at the time of this but remember watching the news with my dad and its piqued my interest ever since. Guess it highlights the pitfalls of massive government agencies who take risks to chase funding. Hopefully the private sector don't fall into the same traps. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Monday, March 25, 2013, 19:47:36 I must admit that I wasn't so aware of the attempted cover up. Was there any attempted cover up? Came across to me that it was a handful of incompetent people working in broken management structures, more of a cover their arses than a full blown cover up. The whole incident is now used a lot as a case study in areas such as whistle blowing, communications and group decision making - as similar disasters often are. Just a pity it always needs something bad to happen before people start doing something about things they know are wrong and they shouldn't be doing. Unfortunately most people choose the easy life instead. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Gibbons on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 23:38:18 Anybody else watch The Mimic (BBC3 I think)?

Its forgotten who the audience is - don't treat us as adults, treat us as kids. Doctor Who has changed considerably since RTD left it in Moffat's hands. It has become darker and more serious with plots that are becoming increasingly frustrating to follow due to story arcs that arc over a two-part series...I'm getting a bit tired of it as well.

Pretty much anything that Graham Linehan or Chris Morris are involved with are great. I'd agree with that. I really enjoyed the IT Crowd. On the surface it seems like a cheesey/throwaway comedy, but there is always a thread of satire and a couple of belly-laughs per episode. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bogus Dave on Friday, April 12, 2013, 22:18:33 Peep Show, Inbetweeners, Mighty Boosh, I.T Crowd, Black books Garth Marenghi are probably the only decent British Comedys of the past decade, and even they are pushing the older end of that spectrum.
The current roster of sitcoms are pure shit. Shit puns as in that youtube clip on the last page, shit slapstick (e.g. Miranda) or whatever the fuck Mrs browns boys is meant to be The only consistently funny TV shows are the panel shows, and thats only because they're a vaguely themed stand up vehicle.

A patronising and insulting underestimation of the tastes of their stated demographic that has resulted in almost nothing with any chance of standing up to the scrutiny of posterity being produced on that channel to date.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Saturday, May 11, 2013, 14:35:00 Yeah I've seen. Later seasons are always going to be compared to it's earlier ones, and they're always going to suffer as a result. On individual merit though I've found season 4 to be more than decent (opening episode and puppet episode aside). The writers of Community are, in my opinion, currently trying too hard. I won't back down from that and I don't think it's an uppity observation. If you strip everything that's good about the show behind-the-scenes then there's going to be a dip in quality and for me, Community suffered a significant dip during (this season alone). The U.S. Office suffered the same a couple of seasons ago. Seinfeld experienced a mild lull in quality when Larry David left and it goes on and on. It happens and it's probably good that NBC have given Community the same chances as 30 Rock and Parks & Rec had/have received as Community has room to get back on top. A lot of the best U.S. comedy on mainstream channels get minimal audiences and it baffles me.

Elton was good in the 80s because his overall message was about poking fun at the establishment and commenting on how shit things were and what a bunch of bastards the Tories were. Strong acerbic wit backed up by some strong actors around him - Rik Mayall and Rowan Atkinson being two. Dave Allen was another one who was brilliantly funny at the time. But the majority of his comedy came from poking fun at authority and the Catholic church, which was such a taboo thing to do at the time that it resulted in death threats from the IRA.

currently watching hannibal and elementary. both well worth a watch Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, May 27, 2013, 17:30:09 It's finally happened - Arrested Development is back for a nu start. Wasn't sure with the first episode but it gets funnier - partly due to the way all the episodes overlap each other and you see things from the different characters point of view, which makes more sense of it all the further in you get. Watched all 15 while hungover yesterday. Was very concerned after the first couple, but by the end some of it was best ever. It all ties together and twists so well. It's incredibly well written. It's ace Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Monday, May 27, 2013, 22:40:08 The Fall got off to a good start.Although I cant see the serial killers logic in killing really hot women whilst letting the his wife Chelle off of Hollyoaks live. I'm loving this, another corking episode tonight. Strangely I'm find myself hoping that matey boy gets away with it as his murders are very well executed Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 06:49:01 I'm loving this, another corking episode tonight. Strangely I'm find myself hoping that matey boy gets away with it as his murders are very well executed The Fall has me hooked as well! I wasn't convinced that Gillian Anderson would make a good English cop but she is actually pretty good and the accent isn't that bad for a yank. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BruceChatwin on Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 07:01:23 The Fall has me hooked as well! I wasn't convinced that Gillian Anderson would make a good English cop but she is actually pretty good and the accent isn't that bad for a yank. Sonic Youth won't be happy with you. Quote With her English accent and background, Anderson was mocked and felt out of place in the American Midwest and soon adopted a Midwest accent. To this day, her accent depends on her location for instance, in an interview with Jay Leno she spoke in an American accent, but shifted it for an interview with Michael Parkinson. Her current accent is probably best-described as mid-Atlantic tending towards English.

Her current accent is probably best-described as mid-Atlantic tending towards English. Ah!! interesting. Why would anyone want to live in the American Midwest anyway, stupid woman! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 07:09:40 Can't say Anderson's accent has been anything other than pretty good to my ears. There is the odd word that sounded slightly 'wrong', but we'll let her have one.
Very enjoyable this, and I read The Fall has been granted a second series too. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: dalumpimunki on Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 07:57:48 Ah!! interesting. Why would anyone want to live in the American Midwest anyway, stupid woman! I think she was about 12 so I doubt she had a lot of choice in the matter. I'm not sure Michigan can really be counted as a part of the Mid West anyway to be honest? The Great Lakes always look pretty far East to me when I look at a map.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Gibbons on Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 12:27:30 I think the mid west starts at Iowa Think it starts further East than that, Ohio.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: dalumpimunki on Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 19:06:51 Think it starts further East than that, Ohio. But I would agree that Iowa is Midwest. You're right! Ohio is the first of the mid west states. Which means the mid west starts two states in from the east coast. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, then the mid-west! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 22:06:40 Today I caught three or four minutes of 'The Wright Way (http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-reviews/wright-way-new-bbc-comedy-1856876)' by Ben Elton (I didn't realise it was by him until after I caught it). I don't think I have ever seen a worse sitcom in my life. What a shambles, probably the worst thing I have ever seen on TV. It reminded me of 'When the Whistle Blows' (from Extras) but without the irony or humour.

It used to be one of my favourite programmes, but it went downhill a few series ago. Exactly my thoughts. The first 3 or 4 series were excellent and then it started to lose its way quite badly. Good final episode though and the last 5 mins or so were very well done I thought.

Nice to see Mike Skinner get a big acting role, and Eric Cantona as the policeman, plus the lady from X-Files has been superb so far.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Baggins on Monday, June 10, 2013, 21:23:39 Not watching subtitled films is a bit like not reading books with no pictures. You only have to read some lines on a screen for a couple of hours, and to not do so severely limits your film choices. Plus, Penelope Cruz makes films in Spanish - she is worth a couple of hours of reading. After all, your hands are still free to do as one does when Penelope is on screen...

Need something to tide me over in the meantime though. Am considering the Sopranos, Homelands and Midsomer Murders (no joke). I've seen the Wire already. Any suggestions from a wiser TEF'er? I hardly watch TV so need something really good to justify it. Title: Re: Re: Re: Telly Programs Post by: herthab on Monday, July 8, 2013, 20:18:06 I've got to the end of Breaking Bad now. What a moment to leave it on and I can't wait for the next ones. If you've never watched Sopranos I seriously urge you to. For me, it's the best programme ever made. Boardwalk Empire is also very good.Need something to tide me over in the meantime though. Am considering the Sopranos, Homelands and Midsomer Murders (no joke). I've seen the Wire already.

Got The Shield all 7 Seasons to watch but just cant seem to get started on it Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Tuesday, July 9, 2013, 08:56:56 The League really dipped during the last season. The battle for The Shiva should always be the focus and hopefully they'll get back on track. True but the final scene of series 4 is just gold. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Tuesday, July 9, 2013, 11:21:15 Okay, I'll give the Sopranos a whirl. I watched the first 8 or so of Boardwalk, didn't really get going for me.

Friends have raved about it so now it's available via the sky boxsets I'm in. just finished it. 83 episodes over a month. It's brilliant. Didn't like the ending though Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Crispy on Wednesday, July 10, 2013, 13:32:01 Not a lot on at the moment so pacing myself through it Got The Shield all 7 Seasons to watch but just cant seem to get started on it Just started watching that on LoveFilm on my Xbox, It's pretty good actually!

Didn't like the ending though There is a clue in an earlier episode in the last series as to what happened. Take a look back and listen to what is said in the episode where Tony is out on the boat in the lake in Italy, just before he has the fight with his buddy. One line explains the closing scenes. Worth watching the last episode back too, especially the restaurant scene. It keeps switching from 2 perspectives if you watch, one through Tony's eyes, and one through other characters. Tis quite clever actually. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, July 10, 2013, 14:42:55 There is a clue in an earlier episode in the last series as to what happened.

I worked out what I think we're meant to conclude. The guy going to the toilet before meadows arrival the clue with darkness as the door opens. I just would have preferred a crystal clear ending as that is what made it so good when series concluded. One line explains the closing scenes.

Probably worth a watch. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Gibbons on Wednesday, July 24, 2013, 21:09:11 I watched the documentary about the Piper Alpha disaster last night which i vaguely remember seeing on the news (I was 9). Terrible disaster and for the survivors interviewed, the memory of that night clearly still has a massive effect on them. Pretty harrowing watching at times. Belated response, but they trailed a bit of that on the news - interviewed two survivors. One of them was saying how his feet were on fire so he ran to the edge of the platform to jump into the water and put them out. There was another fella in the way and, in his panic, he shoved him into the sea. For 25 years he lived with the guilt of having pushed this fella to his death. Wasn't until they were filming the documentary that he overhead another guy recounting the story from the other perspective and found out he hadn't killed him at all and all those years of guilt were misplaced! Brilliant story I thought (which I obviously haven't done any justice here)! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, July 24, 2013, 21:55:05 Wasn't until they were filming the documentary that he overhead another guy recounting the story from the other perspective and found out he hadn't killed him at all and all those years of guilt were misplaced!

Long as they hide their accents so the yanks don't think they're the Bad Guy, there are tons of Brits in the good bits of American TV. If it weren't for Brits, Hollywood would be even more of a hole than it is now. I have no facts to back this up, just a gut feeling.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Thursday, July 25, 2013, 17:11:37 Quote Knightmare, the 1980's kids' TV show inspired by fantasy role-playing video games, is returning in a special one-off episode filmed for YouTube on Monday, 5th August. Series creator Tim Child will produce it, and actresses Isy Suttie (Dobby from Peep Show) and Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter films) will feature in it. They'll be hosted by Knightmare's original presenter Hugo Myatt (Treguard) and joined by YouTube stars Dan "danisnotonfire" Howell, Phil "AmazingPhil" Lester, Emma "emmablackery" Blackery and Stuart "ashens" Ashen, reported The Guardian. Presumably those YouTubers will form the team exploring the Knightmare dungeon. Digital Spy mentioned that the new episode will be filmed at the original studio in Norwich, too. Knightmare, for those who don't remember or don't know, was a television game show in which one member of a team would don an oversized barbarian-style helmet (so they couldn't see) and step helplessly inside a virtual fantasy world. The rest of the team would be the eyes and bicker about how best to guide their friend through the many puzzles and perils that lie in wait. Knightmare is being resurrected for the inaugural Geek Week festival on YouTube, which runs from 4th-10th August. It's a big deal and everyone's getting involved, with content to sprout from around 100 YouTube creators during the week. :clap: Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Thursday, July 25, 2013, 18:27:43 New PhoneShop on E4 tonight.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, September 14, 2013, 09:58:32 Has anyone mentioned 'Ray Donovan'? Sky Atlantic. Brilliant show. On a par with the Sopranos IMO.

James Spader was excellent in Boston Legal. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BruceChatwin on Monday, September 16, 2013, 18:40:25 Holy hell. What an episode of BB.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Riddick on Monday, September 16, 2013, 18:45:25 Holy hell. What an episode of BB. Serious crazy shit happened in that one. Where does it go now with 2 left, can't wait to see. My one hope is something bad happens to Skylar! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, September 16, 2013, 19:11:32 Just watched that too. It's all getting rather crazy.
I'm a bit miffed that Jack's gang have been brought by the writers to help bring the story to a conclusion. IMO it could've been done a bit more organically between Walt & Jesse, but I suppose it adds to the drama. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Empathy Sloth on Monday, September 16, 2013, 19:22:19 I'm on Bosnian TV tomorrow at 5pm. BHT1. I'm probably on other channels too but I'm too big time to give a fuck. If you want some signed shit send me a PM.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Monday, September 16, 2013, 20:10:32 Can't believe they're blocking eztv.it as well now. All totally pointless, if you Google "eztv" half the entries on the first page are telling you how to bypass the block. Still think the answer is reasonably priced content, I can't be the only one that would prefer to pay for stuff if it's priced right.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Monday, September 16, 2013, 22:21:06 Netflix is a fiver a month isn't it? Though they don't have everything.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, September 17, 2013, 09:10:20 Netflix is £6 a month. We use it a lot, films are pretty pants but they have Enough stuff on there to keep us entertained.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, September 17, 2013, 09:12:34 Netflix is great for the price. I've managed to watch entire series in a few months where DVD boxsets would have added up to well over £100 in some cases.
There is plenty of decent films on there too. If you get it make sure to use mediahint so you can use US Netflix. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: @mwooly63 on Tuesday, September 17, 2013, 11:50:32 Netflix is a fiver a month isn't it? Though they don't have everything. Saw on the news this morning that Netflix trawl piracy sites to see what series/movies are hot so they can add to their line up :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, September 17, 2013, 12:49:12 I had Netflix, switched to love film instant, far more choice.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: dalumpimunki on Tuesday, September 17, 2013, 18:51:27 I had Netflix, switched to love film instant, far more choice. I think if you like films Lovefilm is better. If you want the best selection of US TV drama, then Netflix. The only movies that Netflix seem to have tied up are the Marvel franchise ones that all seem to pop up there. If I really want to see a film I'll see it at the cinema, or buy the DVD, so Netflix suits me better. TV box sets are sooo much more expensive than buying the oldd film now and again. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 00:27:11 I just watched the end of Dexter....
Oh dear.... Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: china red on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 03:26:36 I just watched the end of Dexter.... Oh dear.... Yeah a bit of a strange ending, I thought the first five episodes of this season were dull and then got a bit better. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 06:03:55 I did used to have Lovefilm but the online selection wasn't very good - I assume that's changed then? I got fucked off with being sent DVDs I wasn't in the mood for watching at the time so ended up joining Blockbuster. Which was great until I watched everything I wanted to from there, then it closed.
The google play store looks ok if you just want to buy the odd thing without a subscription. Tubeplus is where it's at though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: 4D on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 09:11:33 Saw 'By any means', seemed quite decent.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 09:33:52 Watched the penultimate episode of Breaking Bad last night.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 12:10:48 Watched the penultimate episode of Breaking Bad last night. Sets it up nicely for the finale next week, although I think I'm going to have to avoid the internet all day on Monday to avoid spoilers before I can catch it on Netflix on Monday night. Yeah same here. I get the feeling the last episode is either going to be totally epic, or a complete and utter let down.... no middle ground... Walt is obviously gonna go all Heisenberg after the last few minutes, one to get the :popcorn: out for that is for sure... Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 12:37:50 That episode was a bit of a let down after the previous one, hopefully it's just building things up for an epic finish though.
They say it's not going to be a Sopranos style ending where everyone is left to their own conclusions. There's obviously going to be a few more deaths, just remains to be seen who actually survives until the end. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 13:36:59 It will turn out that Hal has finally been driven mad by Lois and the kids and its all in his head.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: dalumpimunki on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 13:44:46 Yeah same here. I get the feeling the last episode is either going to be totally epic, or a complete and utter let down.... no middle ground... Hasn't the final episode been trailed in flash forward in the first episode, when Heisenberg arrives back in town and makes a really big weapons purchase in the car park of the diner? I'm guessing a big confrontation, you don't buy an M60 machine gun and boot full of ammo for show do you? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 13:56:03 Yes, it showed Walt going back to the house to retrieve the ricin too.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, September 30, 2013, 12:32:58 So new True blood tonight, and new TWD on October 18th, good, good.
True Blood has been on the slide for a bit, but its still watchable. They are killing it off the series after this upcoming (in the UK) one, which is probably about right..

Nope, not after this one, they are making a 7th season and then that will be it. I have already watched the one that starts tonight, it sets it up for the final season in the last episode.

Definitely lived up to expectations.

And also left the possibility of a movie open, which is something they're planning. Great show that sustained 5 series without turning shit, which most do.Definitely lived up to expectations. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BruceChatwin on Monday, September 30, 2013, 22:06:13 Probably the best overall final series, if not the best finale (The Wire's ending was pretty much perfect even if the final series wasn't great), of any TV show I've watched. It was basically eight straight hours without a drop in tension. Earns it's place alongside The Wire and The Soprano's as part of a holy trinity at the pinnacle of television drama. It's going to take some show to displace any of those.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 15:20:16 Speaking of TWD, have they done a load of webisodes for this series? They have indeed. Go online this week. Today infact! "The Oath" Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 19:32:35 I finished watching Breaking Bad earlier. I really enjoyed it, and would happily recommend it, but I'm not sure how it gets held in similar esteem to The Wire and The Sopranos. They're in a whole other ballpark of drama with far more depth and substance, in my opinion.
Breaking Bad, certainly in it's early days, had incredibly weak and annoying characters, an annoying and slow story that didn't really go anywhere and sometimes felt like it was not a drama, but maybe a black comedy. Sorry fanbois, but I needed to say it, in spite on knowing vast numbers of internetters will wish me dead. :hide: :french: Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 20:36:57 It's all about opinions Barry. I still think Sopranos is no.1, probably followed by the Wire and then BB. I also thought Lost was good (except the ending) which puts me on a lot of peoples hit list.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: walcot red on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 20:45:14 Breaking Bad, certainly in it's early days, had incredibly weak and annoying characters, an annoying and slow story that didn't really go anywhere and sometimes felt like it was not a drama, but maybe a black comedy. Sorry fanbois, but I needed to say it, in spite on knowing vast numbers of internetters will wish me dead. :hide: :french: I did find the first series was a bit slow, but thought they were the setting the series up well. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 20:49:01 Each are good for their own reasons.
Shows like The Sopranos and The Wire have great depth to their stories but were sometimes a little slow. Breaking Bad was more about the drama and the writing, there always seemed to be a permanent sense of suspense.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 20:49:17 Whereas I couldn't get in to The Wire. I tried, I really did.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 20:50:10 Try again.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BruceChatwin on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 21:07:23 Breaking Bad is almost like a high melodrama. I think you either see that as a merit or a drawback. I don't think judging it on the basis of depth/ realism against programs like 'The Wire' is much of a worthwhile comparison. Both shows set out to achieve very different goals, and delivered on them pretty much flawlessly.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, October 29, 2013, 19:50:26 What fuck has happened to Homeland.
The plot lines are getting more and more ridculous, the twist about Carrie and the mental hospital business being a elaborate trick was dreadfull. Don't get me started on Dana kid! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, October 29, 2013, 19:56:43 TV is great: Orphan Black (BBC), Newsroom (Sky, just finished), new Strikeback (sky), new Revolution (Sky), new True Blood (Fox), new Walking Dead (fox), new South Park (comedy central), new American Horror Story (fox) plus other stuff to try like new Dracula (Sky Living).
Screw you Summer TV schedule, Autumn is here and I'm living the (couch potato) dream.

Don't get me started on Dana kid! ************************Spoilers************************ I'm hoping Dana has another (successful) go at her wrists in the bath; I couldn't care less about her storyline, yet over a third of the episode every week is dedicated on her.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: joteddyred on Friday, November 1, 2013, 20:17:28 Watched the escape artist with David tennant, very good start to the series I thought so too. Wasn't expecting how the end of the episode panned out at all. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Friday, November 1, 2013, 20:31:08 I watched the new Dracula. Couldn't have been worse.
If I understood the plot right, Van Helsing resurrected Dracula to make form an alliance in order to take down The Order, a group who were responsible for wiping out Van Helsing's family. So they hatch a plot to financially destabilise The Order by reducing the need for oil, from which The Order make their money, by unveiling a wireless lightbulb. Yeah that's right, Dracula was going into the wireless lightbulb game. In Victorian England. WTF.

Yep its fast going down the pan, I reckon whatisname brody is tied up with something and they rewrote it to try and paper over the fact. 6 weeks of dana being tortured would get it back on track. Fast losing patience with The Walking Dead as well, you'd think by now they'd expect zombies in cars/houses/shops, but no, treat eveything like a sunday picnic in the park, no one would be this constantly dim. Think i'll ditch them both shortly, both starting to insult my limited Intelligence.

Last nights episode was pretty good, a definate step back in the right direction. Plus it potentially looks like that Dana has fucked off for a while, huge bonus. Still intrigued with Brody, assume it can't be long until focus shifts to the search for him. About time his missus got her funbags out again as well Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, November 11, 2013, 20:05:44 About time his missus got her funbags out again as well Hell yes.

I absolutely love it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 09:39:59 I'm about half way through series 5 of Breaking Bad now. Holy cow.
Also, The Walking Dead mid-season finale was a doozy. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: pauld on Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 12:32:32 I don't bother with telly programmes these days, just watch dashcam footage of Sippo driving to and from work :)

Just started watching it on Netflix. Was put off with it being animated, but it's worth the effort. One of the funniest things on TV at the moment. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Monday, December 9, 2013, 01:49:04 Just started watching it on Netflix. Was put off with it being animated, but it's worth the effort. One of the funniest things on TV at the moment. Honestly, I watch more animated stuff now than I did as a kid. Saturday morning cartoons with my breakfast is still a tradition. Adult Swim have made some really great 'grown up' animated series- Harvey Birdman and the Venture Bros. are great piss-takes of various Hanna-Barbera properties and the general themes of that era of cartoons. Of course there's the more mainstream stuff like South Park, Family Guy (which I personally don't find that funny on the whole...) American Dad (which I primarily watch for Roger the alien), Bob's Burgers (same voice actor as Sterling Archer, and they reference that in an episode of Archer) etc. Watching top gear in Vietnam for the second time :) That's a good one, nearly as good as their first Africa one (OLIVERRRRR!). I want to go back and watch the Three 'Wise' men special, because I remember it being terrible and interesting at the same time but I can't precisely remember why... I know it's the cool thing to hate Top Gear but I still enjoy it. The challenges on the US version are great too, the presenters actually have some chemistry when they're off-script, but the studio bits are generally dire. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Monday, December 9, 2013, 04:18:44 Love the Top Gear specials but don't watch the regular series.
Archer is superb, glad to see others watching it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: 4D on Monday, December 9, 2013, 07:59:05 The top gear India trip was on last night, daft but fun. I liked the American one when they went from Miami to New Orleans, and we met 'fat' stig :)
Title: Re: Post by: herthab on Monday, December 9, 2013, 08:23:43 Top Gear is tired and old. Clarkson et al doing the same things, with the same 'witty' banter. Absolute gash.

Favourite quote/scene has to be...."Are you shitting me? Bionic legs and you lifted with your back?". And "phrasing". I'm determined to give it a go, but I watched the first and wasn't bitten. What'll keep me going though is how much a mate told me I'd love Family Guy and Scrubs and both took me ages to give them a proper go, yet after a few episodes I loved them.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Friday, December 13, 2013, 10:57:50 I'm half way through season 2 - some slow episodes, some really good.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, December 13, 2013, 11:11:21 It's not coming close to Sopranos for me. We'll see. I've watched both. The Sopranos was brilliant and consistently good. Breaking Bad was a little slow in places, but it's gets better and better. Seasons 4 and 5 don't have a single bad episode. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Friday, December 13, 2013, 11:48:54 Breaking Bad reall starts to kick in at Season 4.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jutty274 on Saturday, December 14, 2013, 23:40:44 I love him & her. I thought that this season went a bit flat away from the flat but the speeches episode was brilliant

I watched his "Trilogy" on Discovery some time back and I was in awe of the man and the machine that he is. I even then bought it on DVD to watch again. The episode with the accident and recovery was pretty poignant, and the marathon episode was just unbelievable. http://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Cracknell-Trilogy-DVD/dp/B0058O9XTM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1388882180&sr=8-2&keywords=james+cracknell+trilogy Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jutty274 on Sunday, January 5, 2014, 10:09:18 The Chris Eubank one was really good, i only watched that one & the Drogba one both of which were really interesting but the Eubank one really put him in a different light in my eyes.

Bitching lying and egotistical D listers going all out at each other. I've caught some of it this season as well and it's been absolute bonkers. The ratings have been so good, the series has been extended, so it is now not finishing this Friday. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: joteddyred on Sunday, January 19, 2014, 17:25:41 I'm looking forward to the second series of The Following, which starts this week. It will be interesting to see where it goes after all the twists in the final episode of series 1 and who actually died.

Horrible to watch.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, April 4, 2014, 08:09:22 I watched the latest Louis Theroux documentary last night. Incredibly moving, I love LT's programmes in general, and whilst this was more serious than other ones he has done, didn't make it any less watchable.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Friday, April 4, 2014, 09:58:13 I watched the latest Louis Theroux documentary last night. Incredibly moving, I love LT's programmes in general, and whilst this was more serious than other ones he has done, didn't make it any less watchable. Both his LA Stories ones have been fantastic. The second one more so. The ending of that was just, wow. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, April 4, 2014, 10:05:10 Both his LA Stories ones have been fantastic. The second one more so. The ending of that was just, wow. It was unbelievable and does go to show that doctors don't always get it right. It was the polar opposite of the scenes where the guy with Leukemia got married and the entertainer was told there was nothing else that could be done. I thought it was done very well. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, April 4, 2014, 13:03:52 Started the first, but as a dog lover I decided I didn't want the pain of seeing distressed dogs, and deleted it. The second was superb. Louis makes great TV.

I still remember the BBC Scientology docs where Scientologists actively tried their hardest to drive the filmmaker insane and it ended up with him shouting at them. Horrific. And they have fucking adverts on the tube now. Disgusting. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, April 4, 2014, 13:28:42 It's just that 'I can't believe Louis just asked them that, how awkward is this moment' feeling you get that makes me love Louis Theroux. And the fact that he comes across as really unassuming and a bit naive. They seem to always walk into his traps with open eyes.

So utterly different to any other standup comic you see on Telly.

Agree sort of, S2 seems to have taken an already thin idea too far. Gervais now more than ever is constantly breaking character, and there's no bloody plot. Half the cast seem to serve no purpose. It's basically an hour of someone saying "be a nice person/don't be cruel to animals". Passed me by a bit I'm afraid. I wasn't in the middle of punching a kitten when I tuned in ???

I don't usually like yank documentaries as they tend to treat the viewers as though they are blithering fucking idiots (I can't think why that would be) They've got it right with Cosmos though. They've made it enjoyable for the layman without being patronising. Tis very good. The presenter is also excellent..

Fargo is brilliant the more i watch it the more i love it the casting of Martin Freeman is great as is Billy Bob Thornton Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, May 21, 2014, 13:49:10 Happy valley is excellent.

Fargo is just fantastic - unbelievably based on a true story. Mr Sloane may turn out to be decent. The one programme that should be straight up my street is The Following - but there's only so much mindless throat-slitting you can stomach and I've had enough of it. Penny Dreadful is just that - dreadful. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, 10:36:18 There's some good stuff on at the moment.

Reminiscing with some twatty yoof tv presenters who were born in 1984 about Gordon Banks save from Pele. Cunts. The worst 'looking back moment' comes from the unlikely source of Neil Warnock aka Colin Wanker. Apparently his favourite World Cup match ever was Italy v W Germany in 1970. According to Colin he remembers watching the game thinking 'here we go again Germany are going to win on penalties, again, just like they always do'. Even though it was 12 years before Germany actually won a World Cup penalty shoot out.

I love the main character. He's slick, but you get the impression that he's about to go fucking nuts and kill every cunt around him at any moment. His misses is well fit as well.

Should be a big season ender next week Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, June 10, 2014, 20:52:05 Yup, hopefully.
I thought the problem with last night's was that it suffered a bit from keeping with the one area of action. Good Sam episode, but ultimately not the story I wanted resolving and didn't much progress the plot (on the face of it). Erm, don't want to spoil it for anyone .. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Tuesday, June 10, 2014, 21:04:46 Got four episodes of GoT to catch up on tomorrow.
I've managed to avoid most spoilers so am excited. Though I started reading the books whilst on holiday, not sure how my brain is going to cope with reading book/ season two and then watching season 4 tomorrow! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Tuesday, June 10, 2014, 21:06:14 please be mindful of spoilers chaps, some of us are a couple of weeks behind
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Wednesday, June 11, 2014, 06:05:21 GoT has been getting juicier and juicier. I couldn't remember exactly what happened in the books for the past couple of episodes and it made it so much more fun to catch up on them.
Saw the new series of Legend of Korra has been leaked in Spanish as well, spoilers everywhere, but I shall be awaiting it properly. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, June 11, 2014, 08:35:30 The season has been the best of GOT by far IMO. Although I agree with what you say about last nights episode with regards to story Batch, it was a stand out episode with regards to action and production etc. At times it reminded me of watching some of the big scenes in the LOTR movies, especially with the addition of a few new faces.
I thought the 360 degree continuous scene in the courtyard was brilliantly filmed. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, June 26, 2014, 02:45:08 No idea if anyone else has mentioned it but I've started watching 'The Returned' and it's been brilliant so far. A bit of a Twin Peaks vibe about it. Available on Netflix.
Warning to you thickos who cannot read: it's French with English subtitles. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: @mwooly63 on Thursday, June 26, 2014, 04:29:02 Warning to you thickos who cannot read: it's French with English subtitles.

I felt it did tail off slightly towards the end of the series but still pretty darn good. Hopefully the second series isn't too far off.
Channel 4 ran their adverts in French with English subtitles when they showed it. Those guys.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: 4D on Thursday, June 26, 2014, 06:12:21 I'd rather have bad dubbing than subtitles

Ray Donovan - cant make up my mind about this one, watched the first series and was OK. He's a sort of mildly loveable gangster, with a very creepy John Voigt as his dad. Lots of shagging and violence but I found the overall storyline kind of predictable. Much the same as Banshee - which has much more of both shagging and violence. Take it or leave it, really Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Thursday, June 26, 2014, 09:41:10 Just finished Season 4 of GOT, definitely the best so far.

Definately worth a watch... Not on a par with Fargo, but one of the better recent new series that have come out on Sky Atlantic.

Now it isn't. It took a nose dive though as soon as the murder was solved. Title: Re: Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, June 26, 2014, 18:42:26 Twin Peaks was brilliant. Ruined by the network demanding a resolution to who killed Laura Palmer.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BruceChatwin on Thursday, June 26, 2014, 19:12:59 Watch the first series, at least. The pleasure in watching Twin Peaks is entering the universe, the murder is just a Macguffin to keep things moving along. You can always look up who killed Laura Palmer online, and skip season two. 8 episodes is about the right amount. It might be a bit dated in some respects, but there's never been anything like it, before or since.

Been a joy watching it all through again, one of my all time favourite shows. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: pumbaa on Monday, August 11, 2014, 19:58:45 So, tell me about series I should be watching
I know about, but have yet to watch Breaking Bad, House of Cards etc. Worth it? I've watched most of the highly rated stuff on Sky/terrestrial - GoT, Boardwalk Empire, Homeland etc. What gems am I missing? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Monday, August 11, 2014, 20:02:14 The Wire?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: kerry red on Monday, August 11, 2014, 20:04:24 The Wire? Wire is brilliant - once your ears tune in to the accent/slang If you can get hold of The Good Wife that's worth watching Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Monday, August 11, 2014, 20:38:23 Anyone watch the £15bn Railway?? Unbelievable engineering achievements.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, 08:38:26 Basically....A 50 year old chemistry teacher with no money and 2 jobs and a new child on the way is diagnosed with cancer which he cannot afford to pay for the treatment of.
His brother in law is a Drug Enforcement Agent and takes him on a "ride along" where they arrest a drug supplier, he decides to try his hand at making crystal meth and finds out his very good at it and can make lots of money, with lots of twists and turns, killings and moral dilemmas. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: 4D on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, 08:48:47 Ah, thanks. Might have to take a look.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, 08:53:22 Ah, thanks. Might have to take a look. Me and the missus heard a lot of people recommend it and we weren't sure about the content as it didn't sound like our sort of programme, within the first half an hour of the pilot episode we were hooked and then watched all 62 episodes inside 3 weeks.Never had a series grip us like that one did, yes there are some not so great ones but in the main its fantastic. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, 08:54:37 Yep was a great 3 parter that The precision involved in the TBM is amazing Am hoping they do another mini series before the 2018 opening I still can't quite get my head around how they can be so accurate with a TBM that weighs 900 tonnes, is 150m long and 8m in diameter - incredible. I'd have loved to a been in the meeting when they agreed to build the new Canary Wharf Station : Engineer 1."Lets build a new station at Canary Wharf" Engineer 2. "Ok, where abouts" Engineer 1. "Underwater" Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, 09:01:38 It's amazing the lack of coverage it's had considering it's one of the largest engineering projects since the Channel Tunnel was built.

No major spoilers in this so don't worry... Jessie (the young one) makes me laugh everytime I see this scene, great acting from all involved. There are numerous scenes like this all the way through the series, and everyone will have their favourites, this one just cracks me up every time I watch it..

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, August 20, 2014, 08:04:05 Slowly getting through Breaking Bad, the wifes not a fan so i got to cram an episode in here and there.
We are currently working through House on netflix. I watched up to season 5 when it first came out but from watching it again i don't remember much so its like watching a new show. There's a pretty good US Crime drama started recently on 5USA called Chicago PD, dont by the same people who made law and order. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Wednesday, August 20, 2014, 08:09:56 Speaking of Breaking Bad, I see they're doing a spin-off called 'Better Call Saul'. Although Saul was such a great character, I'm not sure how this will go down..

Band of Brother though. Brilliant. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Sir Pissalot on Thursday, August 21, 2014, 21:09:50 Just finished watching the final episode of The Honourable Woman. Really good. Recommended 'catch up' for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Everything gets better and better. That's the one...one of the guys meets an 'opposition' soldier from the same State in the US...I'll say no more, in case anyone is yet to see it. I'm sticking with it :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: janaage on Saturday, August 23, 2014, 07:09:48 Has anybody been watching Matrioshki on sky arts about the sex trafficing in eastern europe, it is really good, the downside is that it is set in Belgium and has English subtitles. Haven't seen that but another Series that was on Sky Arts (now available on catch up) that's brilliant is Romanzo Criminale. Again with subtitles but a great watch, set in 1970's Rome about a criminal gang and the copper trying to stop them. Only 4 episodes in but superb so far.

I've been given The Pacific to watch....anyone care to share their thoughts on this one? Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Wednesday, September 10, 2014, 19:20:57 I found the pacific less good, the characters were sort of interchangeable and less distinct.

Watched the first Leftovers - liked it and recording series. Watched the first The Strain - wanky acting but not really into the vampirish genre so will leave this one. I watched the first series of Ray Donovan which was OK but wont bother further. Resurrection is pretty good but, as yet, not sure where it is going.

As that's all I watched though my opinion isn't worth a lot. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Saxondale on Tuesday, September 23, 2014, 19:39:33 Im watching Holby city at the moment.

Resurrection is pretty good but, as yet, not sure where it is going. Have watched 3 episodes of leftovers so far, it has a lot of potential because of the amount of unanswered questions, but to be honest I have no fucking clue what is going on or why? Episode 3 didn't help with this in the least.. Gonna stick with it though Have Strain recorded Just finishing the 2nd series of Ray Donovan, thought it was better than the first Not sure what Ressurection is.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, September 24, 2014, 15:57:55 Resurrection is about a town where people who have died years ago suddenly reappear with no knowledge of what has happened to them.

Enjoyed watching those sickos squirming.Glue is decent and I also liked the 24 hours in custody programme Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Monday, October 6, 2014, 17:43:45 See Twin Peaks is getting a third series, due out 2016.
Title: Re: Re: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, October 6, 2014, 18:50:20 See Twin Peaks is getting a third series, due out 2016. Had that been confirmed ?!Edit: just googled it. Wahooooooooooo. Lynch and Frost are writing it all too, and its a continuation of the story. Damn fine news. Not been this excited since Star Wars Episode 1 was announced. Hope they don't fluff it as much as that though :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Saxondale on Monday, October 6, 2014, 19:42:42 Jar Jar fucking binks killed Laura Palmer.

One of the most intense pieces of TV I've seen. Harrowing stuff. Just watching this now... Sickening! Proper cringeworthy. Funny though as the main guy says to one of the guys that they're in the roughest part of Nuneaton... 1) all of Nuneaton is rough, pretty much. And 2) he says it as he walks past my uncles house!! Ha. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Processed Beats on Tuesday, October 7, 2014, 12:46:54 Homeland season 4 started well. Feels like a completely new show.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Tuesday, October 7, 2014, 17:58:53 Just watched the the pedo hunter thing. Really quite sickening.
I hope he stops as many as possible, I don;t know what to think about him putting them online though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Tuesday, October 7, 2014, 19:08:30 Just the the pedo hunter thing. Really quite sickening.

Some of those made me laugh, although Westworld the TV series with JJ Abrams and Anthony Hopkins sounds like a winner. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: stfc1975 on Sunday, October 19, 2014, 20:52:37 Russia's Toughest Prison on BBC Four , right now is worth a watch.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Sunday, October 19, 2014, 21:45:35 Catching up with Gotham and Agents of Shield this week, I was struck with how good both are. I think Gotham is edging it slightly atm, mostly because Agents has some very weak actors in it, but I really would appreciate them not shoe-horning in a new Batman villain every 5 seconds.
"HEY! THIS GUY LIKES RIDDLES! AND IS CALLED ED! YOU KNOW, LIKE EDWARD NYGMA?!? I BET HE LIKES GREEN SUITS TOO!" I still hope Kevin Conroy makes a guest appearance - he is the one true Batman. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, October 20, 2014, 09:00:09 Homeland is back and has started quite well.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, October 20, 2014, 09:07:25 Really? I thought it's been pretty terrible.
Should've ended it after the last series with Brody swinging from the crane. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, October 20, 2014, 09:13:38 Really? I thought it's been pretty terrible. Should've ended it after the last series with Brody swinging from the crane. I'm surprised they made another series to be honest but I personally think its been quite good, well the first episode was. The second one last night was a bit slower but there are worse things on TV for sure.

The second one last night was a bit slower but there are worse things on TV for sure. Could have done a pre-program warning about the scene with Quinn and the big beast Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, October 20, 2014, 10:52:26 Just started Walking Dead over the weekend. Brilliant so far.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Monday, October 20, 2014, 10:55:48 It is a vast improvement. Probably helped by the fact they have gotten rid of Hershel who was the most boring character in the history of everything.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Sir Pissalot on Monday, October 20, 2014, 11:36:31 It is a vast improvement. Probably helped by the fact they have gotten rid of Hershel who was the most boring character in the history of everything. Agreed, but wasn't that a whole series ago? It seems like it, anyway. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Monday, October 20, 2014, 11:44:11 Could have been, I stopped watching it as it was boring me to tears.
Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Monday, October 20, 2014, 12:40:18 I'm ashamed, but I can help liking storage wars. It'll probably get boring quickly but it's good filler Sunday TV until then!
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, October 26, 2014, 21:22:24 Just started the 2nd season of Sleepy Hollow, well worth a watch.
Grimm Season 4 has just started Chicago PD is a good one too. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Wednesday, October 29, 2014, 09:16:24 The Missing with James Nesbitt was pretty impressive last night, not sure how they will manage to make it last 8 episodes mind you.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Wednesday, October 29, 2014, 10:05:44 Anyone watch Supernatural on here? The 10th season has just started and looks intriguing to say the least!
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, October 29, 2014, 10:23:58 The Missing with James Nesbitt was pretty impressive last night, not sure how they will manage to make it last 8 episodes mind you. I agree Abrahammer. Its going to be very difficult to keep the intrigue over 8 episodes given the way the programme began last night. The Fall is back in November as well. Funny how all the good films and tv series seem to come out in October/November/December. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Wednesday, October 29, 2014, 10:33:53 The Fall is back in November as well. Funny how all the good films and tv series seem to come out in October/November/December. Autumn/Winter programming. People have to stay in because the weather's shit so the rival stations all put their A-games on to compete with each other.

People have to stay in because the weather's shit so the rival stations all put their A-games on to compete with each other. Ah. That makes perfect sense Honky. Why didn't I think of that? Also I guess that's what all the Simon Cowell shite like Pop Idol is on about this time of year as well? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Thursday, October 30, 2014, 09:27:16 Glad to have The Walking Dead and American Horror Story back. The start of TWD was fantastic, and it's progressed nicely so far. Jury still out on Horror Story.

Capaldi could have been a great doctor, but not with crap scripts and stories which hark back to the days of Sylvester McCoy. The plots just get more and more ludicrous and often make no sense.
The season finale was total bollocks, the only good bit was the teaser at the end - I didn't even know he was in the Xmas special.

My sentiments exactly. The season finale was total bollocks, the only good bit was the teaser at the end - I didn't even know he was in the Xmas special. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Sunday, November 9, 2014, 23:33:50 Has anyone seen the bizarrely named Peaky Blinders on the BBC? I caught episode 6/6 of series 2 the other day and found it strangely compulsive. Think I will have to go back and watch series 1 and the other episodes of series 2.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Monday, November 10, 2014, 10:00:17 Has anyone seen the bizarrely named Peaky Blinders on the BBC? I caught episode 6/6 of series 2 the other day and found it strangely compulsive. Think I will have to go back and watch series 1 and the other episodes of series 2. Peaky Blinders is brilliant, highly recommended. I thought the second season was better than the first. Anyone who hasn't watched it should, it's a bit like a UK version of Boardwalk Empire with Brummie accents chucked in, the soundtrack reminds me a little of Snatch. Really good, probably my favourite British drama series.. Oh, and the Peaky Blinders name is based on the name of the gang/gangsters based in the Midlands back in the day. They all wore peaked caps but they had a razor blade sewn into the back of the cap witch they used to take off and slash across peoples faces, hence the Peaky Blinders.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Monday, November 10, 2014, 20:14:55 The new version of Homeland is really boring me now. The old version might have been totally unbelievable but at least there was action and excitement in it.
Carrie's ability to hold on to her job just gets more and more unbelievable. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Processed Beats on Monday, November 10, 2014, 21:40:04 The new version of Homeland is really boring me now. The old version might have been totally unbelievable but at least there was action and excitement in it. Carrie's ability to hold on to her job just gets more and more unbelievable. Wait until the latest couple of episodes (6 and 7) US-pace. Homeland back to its best. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Thursday, November 13, 2014, 23:31:17 Just flicking around, saw an article on the comet landing and watched. Then saw a senior labour guy demolished and I thought I'd check what it was, as I was doing that, A talking heads with Patti Smith and David Lynch came on, and it was newsnight! What happened there? last time I saw that It was Jermy Paxson, and very boring, what I watched tonight was pretty good.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, November 21, 2014, 12:27:33 Sometimes Netflix is a pain on our Samsung TV, but on the whole it seems to be ok. BBC Iplayer is the worst.
Our TV has a habit of losing network connection which is a real pain. The issue appears to be that our internet is out the front and we have this booster thing in the living room but it cuts out a lot, I reckon it tends to coincide with airplanes going overhead, but that is probably baloney. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Friday, November 21, 2014, 12:46:28 Flying balony passing overhead is currently the subject of ongoing WFi connectivity issue studies. Hope the get get the answers you need.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: reeves4england on Friday, November 21, 2014, 13:46:13 Agree with those who've enjoyed The Missing. Caught up on episodes 1-4 last night and can't wait for the next one.

Not a fan musically but fascinating footage. Usual story of loads of hits then finding out they only had $25,000 left in the bank between them. Young Debbie Harry was fuckity fuck fuck gorgeous Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: 4D on Monday, December 1, 2014, 10:44:11 Did I hear somewhere that Luther is due back on the telly? ???

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, December 7, 2014, 13:12:25 Been watching the Swedish/Danish crime drama 'the bridge' on netflix. I've been a bit wary of the subtitle malarkey but it's fantastic. The main characters are superb, especially saga noren who is absolutely hilarious.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Sunday, December 7, 2014, 16:36:07 Watch The Killing as well. The Danish version that is. I tried the American version, but I couldn't watch it after The Danish one.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Monday, December 8, 2014, 14:37:21 Wait until the latest couple of episodes (6 and 7) US-pace. Homeland back to its best. You're right, the last 3 episodes it's been back to its best. Plenty of action however silly and unrealistic it might be Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, 12:26:31 The missing finale was fucking superb.
Looking forward to broadchurch in January now Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, 13:15:24 Watch The Killing as well. The Danish version that is. I tried the American version, but I couldn't watch it after The Danish one. There are quite a few Scandi dramas I want to try. FWIW the Bridge was one of the most enjoyable TV programmes I have seen in a long time, better than Breaking Bad even! The missing finale was fucking superb. Looking forward to broadchurch in January now I have deliberately not watched this so I can watch on Saturday night as TV is fucking dire at the weekends. Its been excellent so far, still no real idea who has committed the crime and if the child is even still alive! Title: Re: Post by: horlock07 on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, 22:27:55 Working through Marco Polo on Netflix, it's got an air of Game of Thrones about it.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, December 18, 2014, 00:04:39 Looking forward to the final part of The Fall tomorrow night. I've found this series a bit disappointing compared to the excellent first. But I assume he will eb getting his comeuppance. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Thursday, December 18, 2014, 09:17:39 This isn't going to sound the best.
I found it more interesting when he was actually committing his abducting, raping, murdering, etc in the 1st series Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Thursday, December 18, 2014, 10:59:38 It made perfect sense in the context of the Tv show.

Looking forward to broadchurch in January now Confirmed at the end another series is on it's way too. To do with a little girl that goes missing and how the family cope when they get her back by the looks of the short trailer. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Thursday, December 18, 2014, 20:44:38 The missing finale was fucking superb. Opinion has been pretty split on the final episode but I liked. The subtle facial expression the kid gave Nesbitt at the end certainly left a little unanswered question for me. Title: Re: Post by: Abrahammer on Thursday, December 18, 2014, 20:46:04 It made perfect sense in the context of the Tv show. Gchq have you marked as a rapey serial killer though Gillian Anderson is absolutely memorising me in this I must admit, she is aging extremely well Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: kerry red on Thursday, December 18, 2014, 20:50:53 Still waiting for her to get her jugs out
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Thursday, December 18, 2014, 22:34:26 Excellent final episode I thought, in the particular the main interview scene.
The last couple of minutes was a pointless storyline twist and really wasn't needed though Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Sir Pissalot on Thursday, December 18, 2014, 22:46:58 Excellent final episode I thought, in the particular the main interview scene. The last couple of minutes was a pointless storyline twist and really wasn't needed though I think that the final twist (better not say what it was in case it spoils things for anyone yet to watch it) was the only way they could finish it. I could see its significance and why the Gillian Anderson character was so upset about it. But it was a bit far fetched that the journo and the other guy could have got to the right spot in the forest so quickly. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, December 18, 2014, 23:27:38 What a shit end to wrap up a rapid slide downhill in quality. Truely piss poor.

Apart from when Ricky was interviewing her and she crumbled everso slgihtly. Mark seemed very confident until he made his shambolic pitch the week before. They haven't really gone too much into business idea so it's either brilliant or fairly ordinary. The imbiciles are back this week, that retard Sarah probably the worst of a terrible bunch of people!

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Sir Pissalot on Monday, December 22, 2014, 08:23:02 So far as I could tell, the guy that won seemed to base his whole case on bigging himself up and rubbishing his opponents. Every time he was asked for details of how he was going to turn his business plan into a highly profitable success, he avoided giving any details and just bull-shitted people with rubbish like "believe me, I'm the best at what I do and I guarantee 100% that I will be successful". Sadly, he was never pressed to say "how".
At the end of the day, Sugar made his choice based on wanting to take a gamble rather than on anything of substance. He can afford to take the risk and won't lose any sleep if it goes tits up.

Has she learned nothing from Dragon's Den: 1. She has nothing to protect her from the big boys nicking her idea. Though the big boys presumably already thought of the idea and dismissed it, its not exactly left field. SO.. 2. Presumably she needs to build THE brand for colour choice, which is difficult, expensive and with risk. 3. A lot of her money will get tied up in stock 4. Sugar would need to support her a lot. Whereas Marks idea seemed non-unique and old hat. But either he will pull it off, or not, but should be practically maintenance free. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: dalumpimunki on Monday, December 22, 2014, 20:27:23 So far as I could tell, the guy that won seemed to base his whole case on bigging himself up and rubbishing his opponents. Every time he was asked for details of how he was going to turn his business plan into a highly profitable success, he avoided giving any details and just bull-shitted people with rubbish like "believe me, I'm the best at what I do and I guarantee 100% that I will be successful". Sadly, he was never pressed to say "how". At the end of the day, Sugar made his choice based on wanting to take a gamble rather than on anything of substance. He can afford to take the risk and won't lose any sleep if it goes tits up. I think it was more a case of "Shit I'd have to actually do some work on the tights idea. Fuck that give it to the other fellah, I've no fucking idea what he does but at least I can just let him get on with it". Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, January 7, 2015, 16:25:55 I've been running out of things I fancy watching lately, so randomly decided to watch Brooklyn Nine Nine, which is actually really good, contrary to what I expected.
I also downloaded and watched The Profit. It's some Entrepreneurial American show where a successful bloke, Marcus Lemonis, comes into a failing business and tries to turn it around with "his own money". As with a lot of American reality shows, it does feel over-edited and a bit fake at times, but despite this it's very good and the bloke is highly likeable and isn't too sweary and loud as you'd imagine someone doing this on TV would/should be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7V9Pere_SM Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, January 7, 2015, 17:17:31 The first Walking the Nile program was good.

It must be hard trying to cram months of footage into a couple of hours of good TV. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Sunday, January 11, 2015, 00:18:12 Why do reality shows on the BBC tend to be happy and those on ITV nasty?
With the BBC you get the Bake Off, the Voice and Strictly - the judges are all nice and friendly to all the contestants and each other, the contestants all get on well and help each other and you get a nice happy feeling watching. With ITV you get X Factor, with the judges consistently having a go at each other and calling the singers not on their team shit. With I'm A Celebrity, they're in the middle of the jungle, being starved and forced to do nasty challenges just to get a few bugs to eat. I can't watch either of them for more than a few minutes. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Sunday, January 11, 2015, 09:09:41 Jesus H , they really fucked up the return of stars in their eyes. I like Harry Hill, but this was absolute garbage with overlong "intros" of the contestants that were staggeringly cringeworthy.
It made Splash looked high brow. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Sunday, January 11, 2015, 09:12:41 With ITV you get X Factor, with the judges consistently having a go at each other and calling the singers not on their team shit. Wouldn't mind that if it was honest comment, bit its so clearly to an agenda. With a free reign I be a bloody brilliant judge, if only I had a TV friendly face. I know, I could do a voivce-over response after the judges stop lying. Might have to move it until after the watershed.

You watched xfactor recently, one ,assize love in for the acts these days, almost as if they want the public to call in and vote, in some money making exercise - surely not. Gone are the days when acts get slaughtered by the judges, some really.

Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Sunday, January 11, 2015, 14:31:42 I think it kind of was a piss take version, rather than a revival of the old slightly more serious format.

This is therefore not a coincidence. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, 21:00:35 The new series of Broadchurch is getting ridiculous - its like they have thought that the first series pulled people in, we can just go completely off the wall now.
Glossing over the unofficial witness protection (funded by what who how), the fact that the crime is apparently the fault of the perpetrators wife we have the legal process... Witnesses sitting in court before giving evidence, the hard ball QC creating waves and upsetting the community yet staying in the local town hotel... its just weirdly so far away from any believable process. We really enjoyed the first series and fully understand that drama can often veer a little from reality to achieve dramatic effect - but its like they just cannot be bothered with this. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Friday, January 16, 2015, 21:58:09 Just watched the first few episodes of a netflix drama, The Killing. Early signs show lots of promise.

It's laughing with them at jokes they are making about themselves.
The undateables, on the other hand, is taking regular members of the public with disabilities (who admittedly willingly go onto the show), putting them in social situations which exacerbate these disabilities and going "LOOK.

Jan, I've seen the film, which I didn't really enjoy tbh, but the series looks to be more highly rated. Maybe the opposite of City of God, where the tv shows were shiiiiite!

Is there anything that's conspicuous by it's absence, for the next time I go shopping? I've already seen.... The wire Breaking bad Game of thrones The shield The sopranos The killing Homeland True detective (if anyone hasn't seen this, check it out as it doesn't seem to be so widely known) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Friday, February 6, 2015, 12:57:24 Gp's behind closed doors. There are some seriously fucked up people in this nation of ours. That's all I can say.
Car crash Britain was something I could relate with. The guy in the lorry calling drivers dickheads after they continually cut him up reminded me of what i have to deal with daily. The programme was wrong about accidents going down though. They are up for the first time in 20 years with more injured and killed. Thank the Tories cutting traffic police for that.

The first episode was quite slow, as you'd expect, due to introducing new characters and the back story. The second was much better and it looks like being a must watch for me.

I fear this is going to be shite. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: herthab on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, 10:55:22 I fear this is going to be shite. If the second episode is anything to go by, it definitely won't be shite. Too soon to tell if it will reach the heights of BB, but taken as a completely separate show it promises to be very, very good.Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, 11:09:20 If the second episode is anything to go by, it definitely won't be shite.
