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: DiV 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: Flashheart on Saturday, January 21, 2012, 22:22:10 Harry Pearce is indeed a great character .

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: DiV 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.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, April 16, 2012, 09:13:24 Im watching season 3: Vengeance. 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.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: china red on Monday, April 23, 2012, 13:13:46 Really enjoyed Homeland, everything I have seen Damien Lewis in has been good (Band of Brothers, Homeland and dreamcatcher), really good to see the Brits doing well in Hollywood Tv shows.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DiV on Monday, April 23, 2012, 13:22:55 Watched the first season at the end of the holidays a long time back, and never started it again.

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: DiV 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.

The original version (Danish) of The Killing was also brilliant. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Monday, April 23, 2012, 21:44:34 Her voice did my head in.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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 it’s all in his head.

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.

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.

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. It just feels like filler to me. ************************Spoliers************************ Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Tuesday, October 29, 2013, 20:19:39 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: woolster on Friday, November 1, 2013, 16:23:48 Watched the escape artist with David tennant, very good start to the series

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.

Saul from homeland stars in it without beard and glasses, which doesn't quite look right!

Took me ages to notice, about half the first series, and then it suddenly hit me and I could stop pointing it out.

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! 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. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: chalkies_shorts on Monday, November 11, 2013, 11:55:00 Watch the Blacklist on Fox that will restore your faith in good TV.

4 episodes in, she is hooked. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Benzel on Monday, November 11, 2013, 16:09:33 Blacklist is amazing.
Just finished series 9 of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - best comedy around imo. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: LucienSanchez on Monday, November 11, 2013, 16:21:28 Two recent finds on Netflix - Archer and The League. Both really funny.

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.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Baggins on Monday, December 2, 2013, 22:44:48 Nearing the end of series 2 of Game of Thrones. In a critical capacity, its pretty poor and plays on every film/TV stereotype going. Its Lord of the Rings meets Eastenders via Caligulia.
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 :)
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: walcot red on Wednesday, December 4, 2013, 21:47:28 Just watched the mid series finale of TWD fuck me, that was excellent. I was close to giving up on it. Although it was a bit sad at the end. If you've seen the episode you'll know what I mean. Now I have to wait until February.

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.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: 4D on Monday, December 9, 2013, 08:58:28 Yeah its probably overran its course, but.certainly more light hearted and entertaining than a lot of the shite currently on the box.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: 4D on Monday, December 9, 2013, 10:25:40 What's Arrow about? Is it a documentary about the away fans pub in Yeovil, or is it a cockney tale about the wealdstone area?

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Thursday, December 12, 2013, 18:24:07 Archer is superb, glad to see others watching it. Just finished season 4, it gets better and better the more you watch. Favourite quote/scene has to be...."Are you shitting me? Bionic legs and you lifted with your back?". And "phrasing". Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Thursday, December 12, 2013, 21:50:27 Just finished season 4, it gets better and better the more you watch. 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.

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. Yeah, the first episode of Archer is far and a way from the best. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Friday, December 13, 2013, 10:42:04 Into series 2 of Breaking Bad. Not sure what I was expecting but it's a bit of a let down so far.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, December 13, 2013, 10:49:54 Into series 2 of Breaking Bad. Not sure what I was expecting but it's a bit of a let down so far. Series 2 is slow. I nearly gave up on it myself halfway through that series.It gets much much better. Persevere with it and I'm sure you won't regret it Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Friday, December 13, 2013, 10:51:35 I don't think i've ever started a series without finishing it. I will watch till the end but they way people have been bigging it up and I'm just like meh... is this it?
Plus his wife and her sister are fucking irritating and everyone says 'yo' far too much. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, December 13, 2013, 10:54:16 The hype is deserved and warranted.
I was skeptical as well but I genuinely think it's the best TV series ever made now that I've seen it as a whole. 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. Mind you I like The Walking Dead and that has been amazingly slow at some points.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Friday, December 13, 2013, 10:58:41 The hype is deserved and warranted. I was skeptical as well but I genuinely think it's the best TV series ever made now that I've seen it as a whole. It's not coming close to Sopranos for me. We'll see. 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

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Saturday, January 4, 2014, 22:08:55 Loved that series, the James Cracknell one was excellent as well even though he came across as a bit of a cunt (partly due to his brain damage)
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Sunday, January 5, 2014, 00:36:37 Loved that series, the James Cracknell one was excellent as well even though he came across as a bit of a cunt (partly due to his brain damage) I was going to mention the Cracknell one. 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.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Thursday, January 16, 2014, 14:41:26 Caught House of Fools on iplayer last night. Usual strangeness from Vic and Bob, but very funny.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Saturday, January 18, 2014, 17:51:56 Big Brother has been superb this series. I don't always watch it but am this time around. Bitching lying and egotistical D listers going all out at each other.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Saturday, January 18, 2014, 22:13:42 House of Fools has got the feel of a 60's/70's sitcom and is a bit groany/cringy at times but Vic and Bob are still more than worth it. Those two take prop comedy to another level.

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: 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 ???

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. Surely they wouldnt be able to read that ? Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Thursday, June 26, 2014, 06:07:58 Quite enjoyed The Returned. 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.

But then again, sometimes it's the only way to get a sensible answer. :D Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, August 6, 2014, 10:29:00 The complete series of Scrubs being available on Sky On Demand.
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: @mwooly63 on Monday, August 11, 2014, 20:41:12 Anyone watch the £15bn Railway?? Unbelievable engineering achievements. 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 Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, 08:13:56 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?

Breaking Bad, House of Cards = Must watch Also recommend The Wire, Sopranos with a mention to The West Wing... About 27 seasons of TV there, should keep you busy.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, 08:17:41 Breaking Bad.....best series I have seen in years.

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."Let’s 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.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, August 12, 2014, 09:23:02 Ah, thanks. Might have to take a look. This is my favourite scene in Breaking bad (Shit quality, best I could find..) 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. Title: Re: Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, September 23, 2014, 15:39:55 Started watching Portlandia last night...very weird but very good

I thought it started well and was good, but after about 5 episodes or so it seemed to follow a near identical formula and was kind of boring. 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. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: herthab on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, 10:26:32 Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad spin off, has landed on Netflix. 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.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, 12:00:06 Just watched the second episode, I think it's going to be a great series.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, February 12, 2015, 21:38:06 There is a programme about to start o ITV featuring car crashes caught on dashcams. I mention it due to the topicality on here. The second episode featured about a minute feature on the Magic Roundabout including a lovely 10 second shot or so of the CG.

Also on Netflix I have really got into white collar. really enjoying Marvels Agent Carter Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, February 13, 2015, 08:08:48 Also on Netflix I have really got into white collar. Haha, I watched all that on Netflix. It won't win any awards, but I found it highly watchable and it does have a great bromance. You ca tell those 2 are mates. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Honkytonk on Friday, February 13, 2015, 10:33:08 I'm enjoying Agent Carter too. I was worried it'd either be too 'YEAH WOMEN ARE BETTER THAN MEN, WOMEN ARE AWESOME YEAH' or 'Women have no place in the workplace!' because of the time it's set in but it's actually pretty well balanced in that regard.

Also, 9pm Hello Ladies feature length special on Sky Atlantic with Stephen Merchant. Not for everyone, but I enjoyed the first series and was disappointed when it was axed.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Tuesday, February 17, 2015, 17:56:58 Hello Ladies just wasn't strong enough. I enjoyed it but not surprised that it didn't last.

I really enjoyed the first series and, as you say, this series should be good also. It has so many strong characters that it's difficult to choose a favourite. Plus action, violence, gore, mysticism, fantasy, but perhaps more importantly..... lots and lots of totty.

It's had some lulls but there's plenty of interesting shit on the way I agree. I've dropped out of watching it a few times (which is quite telling about how fuck all would happen for ages) and have come back on the insistence of mates on both occasions. I got series 4 and 5 and caught up. I loved it, better than ever in my opinion. The build up to Terminus and post Terminus was pacey and engrossing in my opinion and the writers found new enthusiasm and directions. It was probably helped by being able to watch it all in a few days though. I hate watching episode by episode of lengthy American shows.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Monday, March 9, 2015, 13:49:02 Only just got round to watching it, but did anyone else watch The Casual Vacancy, seems to be one of a new genre of TV programmes that looks very nice and quite an interesting story at the start and going through but when you get the end it just has no point, no obvious ending and just seems lacking in structure!
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Monday, March 9, 2015, 13:50:00 Similarly I watched the first 3 episodes of series 2 of Broadchurch and it was frankly ludicrous and so far fetched it was becoming insulting!
Does it get any better or shall I not bother! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, March 9, 2015, 14:15:31 Yeah I thought the same but stuck with it - the actual trial and reveal is ok
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Monday, March 9, 2015, 14:20:28 The causal vacancy was exactly how you describe it horlock, imo.
Broadchurch was good but a bit of a let down on the first series. It continues more or less the same all the way through. I found it too predictable Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Monday, March 9, 2015, 17:01:10 Finished watching Utopia and loved it, such a shame I then read it had been cancelled.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, April 23, 2015, 10:28:06 I have to concur, Breaking Bad is up there with the best series I have ever seen, me and the wife sat down and watched all 64 episodes in about 8 days last year. Going to catch up again on Spike soon as we are recording them.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Thursday, April 23, 2015, 11:02:09 Please report back after season 2, episode 1. Hmmmmm sounds ominous.

Going to catch up again on Spike soon as we are recording them. Even though I have Netflix on my BT box, I had to invest in the DVD's, I've seen it so many times now and it never gets boring. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Monday, April 27, 2015, 13:06:20 'Hunters of the south seas' is well worth a look in my opinion. Find it on iPlayer
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Monday, April 27, 2015, 13:22:16 I thought it was really boring, struggled through series 1. Wont bother with any more. If you are talking about Breaking Bad I would agree, myself and the missus watched series 1 & 2 on Netflix and were just a bit meh about the whole thing, the premise was really good but got to the stage rapidly in series 2 of really just not being that bothered about the whole thing! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Monday, April 27, 2015, 17:50:52 If you are talking about Breaking Bad I would agree, myself and the missus watched series 1 & 2 on Netflix and were just a bit meh about the whole thing, the premise was really good but got to the stage rapidly in series 2 of really just not being that bothered about the whole thing! Stopped just before it starts to get really good. Good work..

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, April 27, 2015, 18:30:51 Netflix has original Thomas the tank engine. My 15month old son loves it and so do it.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Leggett on Tuesday, April 28, 2015, 09:59:18 If you get a chance to watch 'The Jinx: The life and deaths of Robert Durst' then do so, fantastically bizarre real life story about the aforementioned fellow, heir to a billion dollar company. I won't spoil it, do yourself a favour and don't google him either til after you've watched it. Fucking nuts.

It's terrific and almost like a TV version of the podcast Serial. The guy's eyes are terrifying and I have no words for that final episode.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 15:19:43 thought the first two were scene setters, but the third episode was brilliant.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 15:37:57 You mean last nights?
That was the episode that made me question the series. Anyway, what's happened to that crippled boy and why no sighters of the Dragon Queen's knockers Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: SuperBosnian on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 15:52:38 I would really recommend 1992 on Sky Arts, it's an Italian series with English subtitles. Very impressive stuff and you get to see Miriam Leone with her kit off numerous times.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 17:35:52 Am I the only one who thinks the latest series of Game of Thrones is a bit shite? Probably not, but you are wrong Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Processed Beats on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 18:32:26 You mean last nights? That was the episode that made me question the series. Anyway, what's happened to that crippled boy and why no sighters of the Dragon Queen's knockers Bran (the cripple) won't be in this season as his TV storyline has caught up with his book storyline and there is no new material for them to work from. As for Dany's assets, rumours suggest Emilia Clarke is unwilling to do topless scenes now that she has 'made it'.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Saxondale on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 20:27:21 I think she's the one who's been coming to the V festival and hanging around backstage for the past 4 years.
Ive never seen Game Of Thrones so haven't noticed. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 21:27:09 Just finished the latest season of Episodes, well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it before.
Matt Le Blanc is excellent, playing an exaggerated version of himself. Bit surprised by how far he was prepared to go with it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Leggett on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 22:51:48 GoT's TV storylines will be past the books by the end of this series apparently. Bran's storyline is right up to the current book, everyone else's is lagging behind massively. However, the books are not in real time, the chapters are all over the place, sometimes concurrent, sometimes a large period of time apart, with no real guide as to what's when. The last two books released so far were pretty much split in half, one for the north, one for the south, with some teases and spoilers in the first of the two. A really odd way of doing things, but G RR Martin seems like a bit of an arse anyway...

Some say it's a waste of a day, maybe... fucking great waste of a day though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, May 5, 2015, 20:10:45 In between night shifts, I successfully watched all 6 episodes of season 2 of I'm Alan Partridge today. Some say it's a waste of a day, maybe... fucking great waste of a day though. My girlfriend literally never laughed aloud until she watched Partridge. Now she absolutely loses it laughing if someone so much as says "Ah hah!" Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, May 5, 2015, 20:13:18 thought the first two were scene setters, but the third episode was brilliant. And back to the scene setting episode for four. Problem is there are so many threads going on that screen time is a bit limited, show a bit, move on, show a bit, move on...

I'm wrapping my head in tinfoil just in case... Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, May 5, 2015, 20:41:46 Episode 4 of GoT was utter bobbins and I love the show. That scene in the corridor was up there as one of the worst scenes it's had (just behind the Benny Hill Yara trying to free Theon one from Series 4).
On the bright side, Jaime and Bronn are amazing together and I'd watch a whole series of them. Call it True Detective. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, May 6, 2015, 08:18:38 I know they are setting scenes but I don't get really who all these weird army's are?? The monk looking blokes in kings landing and the ones in the gold masks in Mother of dragons place??
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Leggett on Wednesday, May 6, 2015, 08:49:06 they've not gone into it much on the tv show, but the monk chaps are the 'poor fellows', part of the Faith Militant, a super-strict religious lot, led by the silver haired chap Cersei Lannister has been talking to.
The gold masks are Meereen's Sons of the Harpy. When Danaerys took over Meereen she pissed off a lot of people, closing the fighting pits and casting out those in power, some of them are rising against her. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, May 6, 2015, 09:41:49 I know they are setting scenes but I don't get really who all these weird army's are?? The monk looking blokes in kings landing and the ones in the gold masks in Mother of dragons place?? If you are struggling with who is who and who does what etc. watch a separate program on Atlantic call Thronecast. It is not the best of shows, but it does a lot of digging into what has gone on in the episode and explains some of the characters and groups.. Downside is that you have to put up with Sue Perkins.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, May 6, 2015, 13:30:44 Thanks Legett - loving your mega info there - clearly a book reader?
Berniman I really like thronecast but my husband hates it as he said it's taking geeky ness to the extreme! I kind of take his point but I think I need to start recording it and watching it in my own time Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, May 6, 2015, 16:20:19 They did a good bit in this weeks episode about the faith militant so it's worth you taking a look. The useful part is when they refer back to previous series or episodes to show you where the references derived from for stuff going on in this weeks episode.
Apart from that, your other half is right, it is a geek fest, but less of a geek fest this year than it was last year :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: kerry red on Wednesday, May 6, 2015, 18:59:39 Bayern are giving it a right go against Barca.

Berniman I really like thronecast but my husband hates it as he said it's taking geeky ness to the extreme! I kind of take his point but I think I need to start recording it and watching it in my own time yup yup, not a prolific reader so took me the best part of a year, reading the books up to the point I'd watched the series was a bit of a struggle (apart from working out the massive changes between books and tv show!) but I enjoyed them! Well, as much as you can enjoy something so fucking bleak... :P Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Saturday, May 9, 2015, 20:33:19 Found watching http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05t7kc1/all-aboard-the-canal-trip extremely relaxing.

I see it's on Netflix and looks up my street... just wondered what anyone else thought of it.. Yep, watched all the series when they were on sky. I watched because I have an interest in American Football, and have to say I enjoyed it. High School Football is massive in Texas, and the show does give you a taste of that.

I watched the whole series when it was on Sky Atlantic previously. Like a long drawn out version of any given Sunday but based around high school football. You will recognise some faces as well that have gone onto the big screen after appearing in the show.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, May 18, 2015, 21:00:01 Game of thrones still has picked up a little?
Glad Margaries gran is back, she's ace. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nemo on Monday, May 18, 2015, 21:49:35 That episode reared between incredible and awful. Whoever thought the Sand Snakes were a good idea needs the blessing of the Many Faced God. On the other hand, the Winterfell scenes were incredibly well acted...Alfie Allen is playing a broken man incredibly and Iwan Rheon needs to come to an even stickier end than Joffrey.
It is great to have Olenna back to, her and Littlefinger's scenes baiting Cersei were a joy. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, May 19, 2015, 08:59:20 Oh my god how do you remember all their names??

Who is the man Daenayris is banging? Why can't Tommon get Marjorie out of Prison if he's king? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Farmboy on Tuesday, May 26, 2015, 07:27:49 His name is Daario Naharis (http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Daario_Naharis), he's the leader of a company of sell-swords and not of royal blood.
Cersei has allowed the members of the faith to carry arms and judge people according to the seven point star (their verson of the bible), she thought she would be able to control them and manipulate them to do her dirty work (getting rid of marjorie and her brother), this has back fired, and as the head Sparrow pointed out in the last episode, there is a lot of them and to try and stop them would mean war.

Go watch it, it's the best episode of this season by miles. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Monday, June 1, 2015, 22:47:11 Game of Thrones. Holy shiiiiiiiiiiitt. I came on here to post the exact same thing. Anyone who thinks this season is slow after watching that is already dead... Enjoy those on catch up...

I'm one of the few that thought the last episode was just OK. the fight scene was well done but there were only one or two important moments in it so the plot didn't really progress. they needed rick Grimes to show up .. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, June 8, 2015, 15:22:48 We've started watching Rita on Netflix. Kind of a Danish comedy drama. Lots of faces from the other nordic tv programmes but this is a lot lighter than The Bridge, Killing etc.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Tuesday, June 9, 2015, 19:33:32 Watched Guy Martin's Isle of Man TT programme last night which was about the 2010 event.
To be honest I know fuck all about motorbike racing apart from odd name here and this but this was mesmerising in an unbelievable yet morbidly fascinating way. Those guys are either incredibly brave or have the fear part of their brain missing. We all know that,give or take the most unlikely eventuality, F1 is pretty safe but these chaps are going villages, inches from walls in excess of 200mph - one little error and that's if game over, incredible. And I quite like Guy Martin. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, June 9, 2015, 19:49:55 I love Guy Martin

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, June 9, 2015, 22:36:39 watched the 1st episode of some netflix original Sense 8.....yeah that's all i'll be watching :-) I'm 5 episodes in. I want it to be quicker, but I'm sticking with it as it's showing promise. Started The Returned a few weeks or so back and have had to take a break after 4 episodes as it was feeling like it would be very drawn out with no closure. I have little patience for slow shit these days. Plus I saw Carlton Cuse's name, so perhaps wrongly tarred it with the Lost brush.

I have little patience for slow shit these days. Plus I saw Carlton Cuse's name, so perhaps wrongly tarred it with the Lost brush. I watched the first episode when it came out on Netflix, will go back to watch the rest at some point. It kind of felt like nothing really happened in the first episode, but I really enjoyed it. Sort of the story wasn't important as the whole thing was so dark, weird, on edge, creepy, strange, awkward. Or something like that, can't really explain it.

It frustrated me I suppose. The original French series was fantastic. It did lose it's way in the final two episodes, but I'm really interested what they do for the second series. I haven't bothered with the American one as I don't see the point. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, June 10, 2015, 06:28:19 ^^agree with that ^^ going to have to watch it again though because it's taken bloody ages for the second series to come out - later this year
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, June 10, 2015, 07:45:56 I saw the Danish version of The Killing first and couldn't watch the American one, so maybe I'll just give the the French version of The Returned and fuck the yank one off.

This Now a fucking long wait till the next lot :suicide: Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BruceChatwin on Monday, June 15, 2015, 18:54:40 Think he'll probably be resurrected (by Melisandre as AA) - if he's dead the whole R+L=J idea falls apart.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nemo on Monday, June 15, 2015, 19:10:20 Yeah, something will happen there most likely, but it wasn't just him, they killed off half the cast!
Also was "bad pussy" the worst line delivered in a good TV show ever? That whole sand snakes subplot has been genuinely pantomine standard writing. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BruceChatwin on Monday, June 15, 2015, 19:37:13 Yeah, something will happen there most likely, but it wasn't just him, they killed off half the cast! Also was "bad pussy" the worst line delivered in a good TV show ever? That whole sand snakes subplot has been genuinely pantomine standard writing. Yes, considering how many story-lines they have to juggle, and how precious time should be when you only make 10 episodes a series, that whole subplot didn't amount to much more than Jaime and Bronn wandering around, with no comprehensible plan, dressed like extras from a Carry On film. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, June 15, 2015, 20:47:18 Meh, completely underwhelmed by the "shock ending" of GOT. It was a damp squib ending for that character.
In fact whilst still good, this series of GOT has been my least favourite overall. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Monday, June 15, 2015, 21:04:20 Haven't watched the last two episodes yet, hasn't gripped me at all.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, June 16, 2015, 18:19:49 I'm mourning the loss of Jon Snow :cry: :cry:
I still have to finish watching the 1st episode of the new series of Hannibal, it started very "wordy" and a tad confusing and I got a tad bored? Still if Will, Jack or the Dr bird are still alive there's hope yet for Jon! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Tuesday, June 16, 2015, 18:51:46 So Chris Evans will be the new lead Top Gear presenter despite his repeated assurances he wouldn't do it.
No real surprise, he was never going to turn it down if they offered it to him. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, June 16, 2015, 19:08:41 He's OK on TFI Friday, but fuck watching the twat on Top Gear.
Oh well, here's hoping the three amigos get a new project off the ground sometime soon. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Wednesday, June 17, 2015, 07:48:56 Excellent, another reason to avoid watching Top Gear.
I couldn't stand it anyway, not a Chris Evans fan, so will continue to ignore it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Wednesday, June 17, 2015, 08:22:21 Evans is a good DJ but shit and an annoying cunt on TV
Can't make Top Gear any worse than it had become. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Wednesday, June 17, 2015, 08:29:48 The programme had almost run its course anyway - he has done bloody well to screw a three year contract out of the BBC.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Saturday, June 20, 2015, 20:56:47 Anyone watching No Offence on Channel 4?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Summerof69 on Monday, June 22, 2015, 18:01:50 Looking forward to the new series of True Detective tonight.
And Banshee...probably the most violent show on TV at the moment, and Lili Simmons...Wow !!! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jonny72 on Friday, June 26, 2015, 19:55:33 Murder in Successville is ace. Worth a watch on iPlayer if you missed it.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Friday, June 26, 2015, 20:17:52 I'm waiting for The Walking Dead to come back on. Make of that what you will, but it's way more than just about slaughtering zombies. That's just the fun part.
Meanwhile i've been watching Fortitude on Sky Atlantic. It's interesting...Kind of sinister murder mystery meets John Carpenters The Thing. If any of you looked the Danish Thriller series/book The Bridge then it's worth a look. Honest. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Friday, June 26, 2015, 21:17:21 Did anyone else watch Stonemouth, I cannot resist a bit of Iain Banks but it wasn't a patch on The Crow Road!
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Friday, June 26, 2015, 23:44:46 Did anyone else watch Stonemouth, I cannot resist a bit of Iain Banks but it wasn't a patch on The Crow Road! Nope that passed me....What channel was it on? Love Iain Banks, have read The Crow Road and Wasp Factory several times. Classic writing. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Saturday, June 27, 2015, 07:25:57 Black Work was pretty decent..
Title: Re: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Saturday, June 27, 2015, 08:30:56 Nope that passed me....What channel was it on? Love Iain Banks, have read The Crow Road and Wasp Factory several times. Classic writing. It was on bbc something, I watched it on iPlayer. It wasn't particularly advertised we only found it as we were searching for something to watch.Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: kerry red on Saturday, June 27, 2015, 15:33:08 Anyone else find the new True Detective hard to follow?
And that cop reminds me of Kevin from Corrie. Still a great soundtrack, though Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: janaage on Sunday, June 28, 2015, 22:38:40 Enjoying Humans, a little weird, but in a good way.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Sunday, June 28, 2015, 22:42:43 Has a very similar feel to Charlie Booker's Black Mirror stories, but strung out over a longer timeframe.
Enjoying it, but the more I think back I can't really say the plot is flying along - but I don't notice it while watching. Must be well written then :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: janaage on Sunday, June 28, 2015, 22:47:30 Yeah I know what you mean about the plot. It's like drifting along a river in a rubber ring on a Sunday afternoon. Very pleasant and acceptable. Sometimes you don't need pace to enjoy the journey.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Quagmire on Monday, June 29, 2015, 16:44:23 Anyone watching Black Work? Have enjoyed both episodes but feel like there is going to be a lot to cram in to the last episode on Sunday.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Thursday, July 2, 2015, 20:55:06 Am I the only who hasn't got a clue what's going on with season three of Hannibal? It's bloody hard work?

Enjoying it, but the more I think back I can't really say the plot is flying along - but I don't notice it while watching. Must be well written then :) Done on purpose I think. The writers talked about placing them into everyday mundane situations so it wasn't just a good or evil style debate it causes to the viewer. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Thursday, July 2, 2015, 22:10:57 Am I the only who hasn't got a clue what's going on with season three of Hannibal? It's bloody hard work? I got lost halfway through season 2 and gave up. Sometimes I think the writers try to be too clever and end up losing what made it a good series in season 1 Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Leggett on Friday, July 3, 2015, 05:36:06 Hannibal seems to have gone even more artsy than before. Losing patience with it!

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Sunday, July 12, 2015, 20:17:07 Definitely up there. Think I will have to get the DVDs so I can watch it again. Bet you see something you missed before every time you watch it.

Bet you see something you missed before every time you watch it. I've watched it several times on Netflix.. along with Better Call Saul... I still had to get the BB box set(s) though, although I don't know about any bonus features as my parents are working their way through them at the moment. I'm on series 4 of Friday Night Lights at the moment too.. Loving that. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Skinny Pete on Sunday, July 12, 2015, 21:04:09 My Sky contract is up next month.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Friday, August 7, 2015, 01:12:09 Don't know if anyone's seen it but I am starting to think our media strategy is a half finished episode from "Nathan For You". I recommend it for a few silly giggles.

Pretty disappointed by season 2 of the True Detective, seemed to me to lose its way after 4 episodes.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Friday, August 21, 2015, 08:35:22 Watched the first episode of Show me a Hero last night, made by the makers of The Wire, and you can so tell. It has very much the same feel as the Wire..
Early days but I think it is going to be another winner. First episode is very much about introducing the characters so I am expecting it to improve. Think, The Wire, based in Yonkers, New York rather than Baltimore, but focused on the politicians rather than the police.

The anachronisms of time period help build character I think - Gotham is a city being held back and always teetering on the brink of utter chaos. For characters to have mobiles and try act like film noire detectives really works. I just wished they would stop shoving later batman characters in front of us and pointing at them shouting "LOOK! LOOK WHO IT IS!"

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Thursday, September 3, 2015, 20:43:08 Thought Cradle to the Grave was very good on BBC2 earlier.
Title: Re: Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Friday, September 4, 2015, 14:03:24 11 episodes into Some Of Anarchy now. Loving it.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Quagmire on Sunday, September 13, 2015, 15:23:41 Looking forward to 'This is England 90' starting tonight.
Enjoyed the film and the previous series so hoping this is as good as those. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Sunday, September 13, 2015, 21:03:00 Me too - the last series was so hard to watch at times but not much makes you feel like that any more just hope the new series is as good
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Sunday, September 13, 2015, 21:29:09 Thought Cradle to the Grave was very good on BBC2 earlier. Just watched it, some bits were very funny, not sure about Mr Kays London accent though! Title: Re: Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Monday, September 14, 2015, 23:15:07 Anyone catch Doctor Foster last week? Was pretty decent.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: EldeneRed on Tuesday, September 15, 2015, 20:36:45 Been watching American Horror story. It's kind of a mix of a decent-ish set of concepts and setups with some piss poor execution.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, September 15, 2015, 20:45:46 quite liked the first series, the second series, asylum, started off even better but lost the plot a few episodes from the end, coven was rubbish, freak show was alright.
when does hotel start? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: EldeneRed on Tuesday, September 15, 2015, 21:14:12 quite liked the first series, the second series, asylum, started off even better but lost the plot a few episodes from the end, coven was rubbish, freak show was alright. when does hotel start? This Halloween I hear. I'm on Coven, I'll likely finish it quite quick but it looks a bit dull. Freak Show isn't on Netflix. First season was good until the whole dying characters thing became irrelevant, they almost seem happier dead as ghosts. Asylum was pretty good but the last episode "And everyone just kinda died" was a bit weak. I don't understand how people find this scary though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, September 21, 2015, 18:34:58 Started watching Narcos on netflix. So far its very good, only 3 episodes in but has the makings of a true great.
Only issue is, about 70% is subtitled so you really have to pay attention.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Thursday, September 24, 2015, 16:37:28 I've given up on it many times, but I'm currently in love with it and have been for the last 2 series. It can be a bit slow, but if you download it, rather than watch it one episode a week, I think it's great. Until it fucks me off and I give up again.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, September 24, 2015, 17:41:09 The spin off has started well too
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Sunday, September 27, 2015, 22:21:23 This is England 90 was bloody incredible tonight, a masterclass in writing and acting
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: yeo on Monday, September 28, 2015, 03:35:35 I've never watched any of 'This is England',mainly because the actors look so grubby in the trailers.
I still love 'The Walking Dead',although it can frustrate its ultimately a good watch.I'm also enjoying 'Fear of the Walking Dead'. 'Cradle to the Grave' is awesome.It doesn't matter that Peter Kays accent isn't quite right. Spud, Dannys Dad was the suprise star of the book and the writing on the series is fab. Also really enjoyed 'Unreal' Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: tans on Monday, September 28, 2015, 05:42:26 Narcos. Very good.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Amir on Tuesday, September 29, 2015, 11:27:55 Narcos. Very good. I'm four episodes in since you posted this. Really well made series, cheers.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Quagmire on Monday, October 5, 2015, 17:49:11 This Is England was brilliant again last night, shame it was the last ever episode but they've definitely left it open for another series further down the line.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Monday, October 5, 2015, 18:17:54 Yeah it's been great, some quite uncomfortable, but edge of the seat viewing.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, October 5, 2015, 18:57:18 Yeah it's been great, some quite uncomfortable, but edge of the seat viewing.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Monday, October 5, 2015, 21:56:33 I assume those heavies just chucked Combo in some locked room to die?
I got distracted at that crucial point Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, 05:28:47 It just cut away as Combo was being carried away by the two guys screaming "I don't want to die". I thought that scene in particular was quite harrowing. The wife couldn't watch it, but then she's a wimp anyway.
Title: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, 06:27:12 Quote I've just watched it and I'm so upset with Milky! think he is as upset with himself<despoilered sorry it's too late fh> fantastic TV in the last two episodes.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, 06:55:08 Errm, yeah, spoilers much you lot?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, 07:12:32 Anyone got any decent documentaries based around the Chernobyl disaster? Not Chernobyl as such, but it does talk about Chernobyl quite a bit from recollection and is a superb documentary on Nuclear power, Pandora's Promise. Pretty eyeopening from recollection. An actual documentary on Chernobyl would be kind of good though. Not just because of it's ghostly nature, but the propaganda and the fact the number of deaths was actually tiny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDw3ET3zqxk Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DRS on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, 07:22:40 How tiny is tiny?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, 07:35:55 The initial death toll (first 3 months) was less than 50

Never been the same since Brody left though Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, October 13, 2015, 10:07:59 Yea I thought it was ok.
The first 3 series, whilst a bit ridiculous at times, was pretty action packed and exciting. Series 4 bored me generally apart from last few episodes. It was better when based in the US with all the Broady stuff going on. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, October 13, 2015, 13:03:07 Not seen it mentioned on here but check out the series Mr Robot, best show i've seen this year. I'm about half way through the final episode. Not sure why I've not finished it. Unexpectedly dark with some unpredictable parts to the story. I liked it, but found at times it was a little slow. And I'm sure there were some ridiculous parts that grated a bit, but I forget exactly what they were, so can't have been that bad. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Tuesday, October 13, 2015, 13:58:00 Yea I thought it was ok. The first 3 series, whilst a bit ridiculous at times, was pretty action packed and exciting. Series 4 bored me generally apart from last few episodes. It was better when based in the US with all the Broady stuff going on. I agree.. the first three were awesome. This latest season has started ok, but nowhere near as good as the first three series. I get what you mean about season 4 too.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Wednesday, October 14, 2015, 17:24:59 So Fry won't be hosting QI anymore?

They're all awful as ever, although the one girl saying that she was "passionate on the cactus" last night nearly finished me off from laughing.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, October 28, 2015, 22:37:01 River is weird but oddly compelling. Probably mostly because Skarsgård is fucking brilliant.

Thought it was incredible. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, November 12, 2015, 14:56:06 sober-Hans
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, November 18, 2015, 23:01:21 sober-Hans Super...Simon? Simon Hans? Another top notch episode tonight. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, November 18, 2015, 23:07:58 Super...Simon? Simon Hans? Another top notch episode tonight. Yep! Simon, cool name. Mark sounded exactly like my Mrs re: central heating. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, November 22, 2015, 14:59:25 The man in the high castle is available on Amazon Prime. Binge watching today, first episode pretty good.
I see the Bridge is back on BBC also. Happy days. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Sunday, November 22, 2015, 19:06:12 The hunt is the usual David Attenborough brilliant standard of tv programme. Looking forward to tonight's episode.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Sunday, November 22, 2015, 20:36:04 Yeah, that's been ace, like any BBC nature show with Attenborough really. Can't believe he's 89!

I see the Bridge is back on BBC also. Happy days. Just got amazon prime and just from a quick browse through it, it has far better shows than Netflix. The only think stopping me from getting rid of netflix is the DNS hack to run US netflix.

The only think stopping me from getting rid of netflix is the DNS hack to run US netflix. We used to watch Netflix a lot but since getting AP we've barely watched netflix. Some not bad films on Amazon also. '71 and nightcrawler were recent reasonably up to date films on Amazon. Mr robot isn't bad and criminal minds is always good to pass a course of hours or so.

Really getting into Criminal Minds at the moment, half way through series 2 on Sky On Demand, it's really good. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: molepar on Sunday, November 22, 2015, 22:30:52 Just caught up on the new series of Peep Show from last night. Peep show is comedy gold but so underrated by the general public based on viewing figures. Liked the first episode of season 9 a lot but thought the 2nd episode wasn't quite as good. They should do a feature length peep show film; that would be ace.Thought it was incredible. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: janaage on Monday, November 23, 2015, 07:23:37 The man in the high castle is available on Amazon Prime. Binge watching today, first episode pretty good. How does AP work, in terms of watching a series like Man in the high castle? Are episodes recently all at once or do you have to wait for next episode like normal TV. I see Amazon are doing a free 30 day trial so I was thinking sign up to that watch MITHC and job done. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, November 23, 2015, 07:50:23 Really getting into Criminal Minds at the moment, half way through series 2 on Sky On Demand, it's really good.

All episodes are available at once so you can either binge or watch an episode at a time at your leisure. I would recommend it, definitely worth a fiver a month in my eyes. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Monday, November 23, 2015, 08:01:11 Anyone watched/started watching Jessica Jones on Netflix? Any good?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, November 23, 2015, 11:21:49 I watched the first episode and I found it slow and dull. It reminded me a bit of Dare Devil in that respect. It just plodded along with nice, albeit dark, camera work, but had nothing to really make you excited about what might happen.
I've given too many Netflix series a chance, Sense 8, Dare Devil and a few others and they just went no where and had glacial pace. I'll probably be giving this a wide berth. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Monday, November 23, 2015, 11:55:51 Ok cool, thanks.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Monday, November 23, 2015, 12:02:23 There are 11 series in total so you are in for a treat! :) Ha, no idea how long it's on Sky Box Office for, hopefully a while as we're only getting through one/two episodes a night, so at this rate it's gonna take approx 6 months to get through them! :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Monday, November 23, 2015, 12:10:32 What wold people recommend from the current offferings of box sets on sky ?
I've done the sopranos and recently got through boardwalk empire so they're out. Something of that ilk would do nicely as I loved em both. Is Mad men any good? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Skinny Pete on Monday, November 23, 2015, 12:21:15 I like Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Tried Mad Men but found it meh.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Monday, November 23, 2015, 14:14:33 The Mrs likes Chicago fire. Has the black fella from till death us do part in it playing a yank I think.
I'll look out for Chicago pd. Thanks Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, November 23, 2015, 16:16:29 My husband watches Chicago fire. I find the acting very questionable at times? Lady Ga Gas boyfriend is hot though
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, November 23, 2015, 17:13:19 Love Chigago PD, although not watching Chicago Fire can be a bit annoying as you tend to miss bits when there are crossovers.
Criminal Minds is another good one, big fan of crime dramas. That and NCIS come top of the list along with Bones. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, November 23, 2015, 17:13:45 Anyone watched/started watching Jessica Jones on Netflix? Any good?

I'll look out for Chicago pd. Thanks There is another cross over on it's way called Chicago Med. based in the ER department. They have already crossed over in Chicago Fire with the black nurse flitting around with one of the cast.. I can't see any news of it being shown over here yet though, though no doubt one of the usual suspects will pick it up.

Re watched phone shop lately too.. I remember how much I hated it initially but love it now. Jfw will be happy Jon Snow is still alive..? :D Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, 17:31:52 People seem to rave about Phone Shop, i've never watched it, admittedly because the adverts for it made it look so unbelievably shit.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, 18:32:35 I love Peep Show. Last week's scene with them watching Jez and Joe had me crying with laughter.
As for PhoneShop, once you can accept it for what it is, it's brilliant. Now I want to re-watch all of Peep Show and PhoneShop. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, 20:41:57 Ok so I'm having a Homeland catch up - I really have no idea what's going on but I'm still enjoying it!!

She is quite annoyed because Med isn't on there yet... Billy from neighbours has come a long way!

My uncle flew as a navigator in them, his house is absolutely plastered in paintings and models of them, they hold a special place for our family. Gorgeous machines.
Title: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, November 30, 2015, 10:21:08 was a very good program indeed legget. Guy Martin was a lucky sob to be going up in the blades too. more so to taxi xm655.
must go and take a look at 655, it's up just off the 429 fosse way in Warwickshire. they do cockpit tours for a small fee. one point though, the title of the program was incorrect :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: janaage on Sunday, December 13, 2015, 18:55:21 Finally got around to sorting out Amazon Prime so 4 hours worth of Man in the High Castle last night and a few more tonight.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, December 16, 2015, 22:59:45 So, Peep Show finale. A bit anti-climatic... but that's probably fair enough? I can't really see how those two characters could really settle down and grow up in the space of six episodes. So they didn't try.

No idea who likely to win this year, Farah must be favourite but the drug scandal may have tarnished him somewhat?THE STRICTLY THREAD SHOULD BE UNDER HERE ALSO. Watching for first time in years just to see what bollocks Fury comes out with and how the BBC handle the cockwomble.

Whitlock's pommel routine on the grand piano was amazing! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, December 20, 2015, 20:24:12 I'm not sure that claiming it was "bantz" constitutes an apology.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Sunday, December 20, 2015, 20:26:21 It's Murray's according to the bookies. Should be Froome's IMO but if people take the ridiculous title of the award into account has no chance.
Would be quite amusing to see the moral outrage if Fury won, he should have a shout on sporting merit Title: Re: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Sunday, December 20, 2015, 20:30:48 It's Murray's according to the bookies. Should be Froome's IMO but if people take the ridiculous title of the award into account has no chance. Fury is reasonably eloquent and has a 'personality' but needs to engage brain occasionally. Anyone except Hamilton for me!Would be quite amusing to see the moral outrage if Fury won, he should have a shout on sporting merit Title: Re: Post by: horlock07 on Sunday, December 20, 2015, 21:02:39 Nice to see Andy King getting noted on the list of sports people who have died during the year.

Most shockingly Paloma Faith seemed to be coming across as more obnoxious and less likable than Boy George on it - which is quite some achievement! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Monday, January 11, 2016, 10:09:38 No excuse in the world for watching drivel like that I'm afraid.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Monday, January 11, 2016, 13:54:50 Cant stand Paloma Faith. Is it me or does she remind anyone else of Helga from Hey Arnold? I used to quite tolerate in her in a 'she's mad, but it doesn't seem to be put on madness - unlike others' sort of way, but seeing her the other night she just came across as being thick and unpleasant (and next to Boy George that is saying something!) Anyway hopefully the family can now watch it going forward whilst I am working! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Monday, January 11, 2016, 14:00:39 I like her. I reckon she'd be an amazing ride too. Not so sure, from my (admittedly limited) experience extroverts are often fairly passive and dull - its the quiet and shy ones who are the lively ones. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, January 11, 2016, 14:55:39 Cant stand Paloma Faith. Is it me or does she remind anyone else of Helga from Hey Arnold?

Yuck yuck yuck Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: janaage on Monday, January 11, 2016, 23:32:23 Just finished 'Gomorrah La Serie', not quite as good as Romanzo Criminale, but looking forward to series 2 in May. Brutal Italian drama.

Holy shit. A good watch though (if good is ever an appropriate word). Reminded me very much of the "paradise lost" trilogy. I've moved on to The Staircase now which is similar.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: janaage on Saturday, January 16, 2016, 22:07:03 Man in the high castle is pretty good so far. Excellent series, though not that fast paced.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Saturday, January 16, 2016, 22:48:47 Please say you mean May 17th, and not May 2017. Which you almost certainly do.
I've got one episode to go, usually hate slow stories but this one has me hooked. Though Mr Robot was good (a bit geeky, which suits me) for about 8 of the 10 episodes. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Thursday, January 28, 2016, 15:33:23 Just finished "the staircase". Fascinating doc. Similar to making a murderer but in my opinion a bit better. If you liked that (or even if you didn't) I think the first 3 episodes at least are on Vimeo, just google it.
No spoilers but :eek: you change your mind re: innocent/guilty every 5 minutes and then something new comes out. Fascinating case. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, January 28, 2016, 17:00:12 Watched the first two new x-files.
Good nostalgia, quite enjoyed it, but can't help feel its time has gone. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Thursday, January 28, 2016, 17:03:55 Trophy Kids, anyone watched it?
Both great, and frustrating at the same time. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Thursday, January 28, 2016, 17:18:16 Yeah, it's on Netflix.
The 'discussion' in the car with the High School football kid was........ awkward. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: STFC-1879 on Thursday, January 28, 2016, 19:17:28 Just finished "the staircase".

No spoilers but :eek: you change your mind re: innocent/guilty every 5 minutes and then something new comes out. Fascinating case. Watched that last year, was excellent. If you are in to that sort of stuff then you should definitely watch 'The Jinx'. Another great crime documentary series similar to both of the previously mentioned ones, and just as good. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Thursday, January 28, 2016, 22:15:55 Watched that last year, was excellent. If you are in to that sort of stuff then you should definitely watch 'The Jinx'.

Thanks for the extra recommendation :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, January 28, 2016, 22:17:14 Was next on my list to watch actually! Thanks for the extra recommendation :) Are any of these on Netflix or Amazon prime? Enjoyed making a murderer. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Friday, January 29, 2016, 11:30:05 Are any of these on Netflix or Amazon prime? Enjoyed making a murderer. I don't have netflix but both were easy enough to find online. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DRS on Friday, January 29, 2016, 11:32:49 Is making a murderer only on Netflix?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Friday, January 29, 2016, 11:36:20 Is making a murderer only on Netflix? I'm pretty sure it is. It's not on amazon prime anyway. But again, easy to find online. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Friday, January 29, 2016, 14:48:29 Making a Murderer is on Netflix, watch it over the last few days, very good. I can also recommend the Jinx Ells, very similar albeit the other way around in that it was amazing that he was getting away with it..
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Friday, January 29, 2016, 19:21:07 Making a Murderer is on Netflix, watch it over the last few days, very good.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Sunday, January 31, 2016, 20:53:07 Making a Murderer is on Netflix, watch it over the last few days, very good. I can also recommend the Jinx Ells, very similar albeit the other way around in that it was amazing that he was getting away with it.. Finished the Jinx this afternoon. That ending was jaw dropping :o. Not sure what I'll go to next now though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Monday, February 1, 2016, 20:54:38 This is a recommendation to those who enjoyed MaM and also a request for recommendations if you know of any others:
The Jinx The Staircase - already mentioned Capturing the Friedmans - from the same producer of "The Jinx." 2 men accused of sexual assaulting many children and how the case unfolds. A Murder In The Park - A man is saved from execution within 24 hours of the injection in a an apparent miscarriage of justice and confession from the perpetrator. But the alleged confession is troubling. Central Park 5 - 5 black kids give statements to the police that makes Brendan's look perfect and reliable. Follows the initial trial and their eventual release, many years later. The Cheshire Murders - an absolutely awful crime that follows the trial from start to finish, with one defendant blaming the other. Prophets Prey - alongside Deliver us from Evil - victims of sexual abuse and how it was dealt with by religious officials and police, the former from a fundamentalist Mormon sect and the latter from the Catholic Church. Paradise Lost - A trilogy about the West Memphis 3. Just watch it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, February 4, 2016, 22:30:51 Just watch the first 2 eps of lucifer. Well worth a watch.

It's pretty fascinating, and definite similarities with how the police go about their interviewing with naive kids as was evident on making a murderer. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Friday, February 5, 2016, 10:48:12 Just watch the first 2 eps of lucifer. Well worth a watch. Cheers, I shall :) There is a documentary about the west Memphis 3 on Netflix, called West Memphis. It's pretty fascinating, and definite similarities with how the police go about their interviewing with naive kids as was evident on making a murderer. Is that West of Memphis, the one by Peter Jackson? I've seen that too. Preferred the Paradise Lost trilogy but it's still such a fascinating case.

I have 45 minutes left to go but its just getting interesting now the dodgy stepdad is being interviewed. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Friday, February 5, 2016, 10:56:05 It was :)
He is dodgy isn't he? I do recommend you look at some of the "they did it" stuff afterwards though. Not because I necessarily believe they did, but films like that (it was produced by Echols I believe) don't necessarily tell you everything. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, February 7, 2016, 21:08:21 Started watching Suits. Really enjoying it. A nice difference from the usual crime or dark dramas we normally watch.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Sunday, February 7, 2016, 22:29:14 First 2 series are very good. My interest started waning on series 3 when they got into internal corporate crap which I didn't give 2 hoots about, It lost me then.
Title: Re: Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Sunday, February 7, 2016, 22:42:42 Finished sons of anarchy last night.. Really enjoyed it!
Next up is Peaky Blinders and Dexter. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Monday, February 8, 2016, 11:35:45 Suits is brilliant, the new series that started in America last week is ace.

Quite enjoying it so far. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, February 8, 2016, 20:17:44 The Jump seems to be going well. One dislocated shoulder (Arlington), one dislocated elbow and double arm fracture (Tina Hobly) and one double beginners vertebrae fracture requiring surgery and a nervous 48 hours where it seems they wondered if there was paralysis (Beth Tweddle)
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, February 8, 2016, 20:38:18 The Jump really is a dumb idea. I stood at the top of the ski jump at both Oslo and Lillehammer and it is literally ridiculous how steep it is
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Monday, February 8, 2016, 20:48:16 I've only just discovered it's not even for charity. I thought it was some sport relief thing. I was about to make a joke about how they're raising money for people with disabilities by crippling people. BUT IT'S NOT EVEN THAT? AND THERE'S BEEN THREE. FUCKING. SERIES? AND JOEY ESSEX IS ON IT?

My wife has MND so we are living through this. A year ago she was still coming to football (in fact we bought her a season ticket for this year), and now she is basically bed bound. It's an awful illness, I often see people talking about cancer and the horrible treatment, but at least with that there is treatment & most times some chance at living Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Thursday, February 11, 2016, 16:19:18 The law is this country is so wrong on that subject, big complex can of worms to open though.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Thursday, February 11, 2016, 19:29:50 Its pretty much all I've been thinking about since I watched it. It really was a powerful programme.
The strength of the family, friends and the man himself was unbelievable. I guess until we are in that type of situation we can only imagine it.

The wife said the same thing about a dream, I said no, one was shot, not eaten, but it was clever how it was carried through. I'm expecting a reversal now as that was their intended final stand, they'd given up pretty much. Rest of the series will be the remaining biker gang that Daryl sorted and the W crowd. Probably wasting each other in the finale. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, February 24, 2016, 21:23:08 Walking dead was interesting.

Makes you wonder why real homeless people don't do that, lazy bastards. To be fair to the bloke he is not in the best of health. He also befriended a homeless guy he met on the show and took him in, then phoned an ambulance when he collapsed. Saved his life apparently (the homeless man's, not Willie Thorne's.)

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, March 17, 2016, 23:16:40 I don't believe they have. I'm considering reading them but it feels a bit weird as a 30 year old.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Friday, March 18, 2016, 01:43:53 Weird is being a 30 year old fiddling kids on a BBC show. Do it, and tell me!
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Friday, March 18, 2016, 01:44:37 Oh jeez, not fiddling, just read the comics
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Friday, March 18, 2016, 07:15:14 It has improved, it was absolutely fucking dire before. I think getting rid of Hershel (sp?) maybe have helped, he must have been one of the most boring characters I'd ever seen.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Friday, March 18, 2016, 13:00:14 This is easily the best series of it so far. As above I nearly gave up. Has anyone ever read all the comics? Just wondering if the tv show has overtaken them yet? No they haven't. I am already ITK about two main characters that would be due to be killed off this season if the series sticks with the comics (although they don't always do that). And no I haven't read the comics, just heard it from somebody who has. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, March 23, 2016, 22:24:48 Very good documentary on bbc tonight called 'employable me' following a guy with Tourette's and a guy with autism in their hunt for work.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, March 23, 2016, 22:35:38 No they haven't. I am already ITK about two main characters that would be due to be killed off this season if the series sticks with the comics (although they don't always do that). And no I haven't read the comics, just heard it from somebody who has. I think they'll have to deviate in that case If its Rick, Darryl, or Mshone ( I dont want to know) as I'd probably stop watching if 2 of those went. Most of the others are just star trek crewmen really. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 09:41:11 I think they'll have to deviate in that case If its Rick, Darryl, or Mshone ( I dont want to know) as I'd probably stop watching if 2 of those went. Most of the others are just star trek crewmen really. Well the first one I heard got switched to an alternative character's death this week. Just goes to show that it doesn't matter what happened in the comics when it comes to the TV show. I can tell you who was supposed to die this week according to the comics if you like :D Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Panda Paws on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 10:52:54 Just about to finish season 1 of Peaky Blinders - been on the watchlist for ages and finally got some time this week. It's very good.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 12:19:10 Must have been Darryl as the line was about the crossbow kicking and missing the real target.

Dunno, cosmics is four loosers. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 13:28:57 Must have been Darryl as the line was about the crossbow kicking and missing the real target. Nope. In the comic, Abraham apparently received the King Harold death instead of the Doc.. Must have been that Ginger goatie... Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 17:39:28 Better Call Saul has been excellent again this series. I think I prefer it to Breaking Bad
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 17:49:28 Better Call Saul has been excellent again this series. I think I prefer it to Breaking Bad I seriously need to catch up on this. I got 4 episodes in and got bored, but have been told it gets much better after the initial 4 episodes. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 17:54:07 I seriously need to catch up on this. I got 4 episodes in and got bored, but have been told it gets much better after the initial 4 episodes. It does get better, I thought the first 3 were very poor but stuck with it and it did get better even if nowhere near as good as Breaking Bad IMO.Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 17:57:00 I can recommend Flaked, a new Netflix show by Will Arnett.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 18:04:10 Better Call Saul has been excellent again this series. I think I prefer it to Breaking Bad Thanks for the reminder this has started again! Was gutted to get to the end of the last series and 2016 seemed like a lifetime away. That's my evening sorted. Anyone seen / heard of Delocated? I've started watching it and it's so bizarre I can't decide if it's genius or shit ??? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Thursday, March 24, 2016, 20:36:36 Better call Saul is next on my list once I've finished breaking bad. Half way through series 3 of that and I think it's the dogs danglies. Love it !
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, March 29, 2016, 21:56:21 Fuck the end of that episode of The Walking Dead, seriously.
(https://i.imgur.com/iDNZv98.gif) Anyway, I've just watched the first couple of series of Line of Duty. The first series was a bit slow to get into but I'm glad I persevered, the second was excellent but slightly disappointing due to the half-baked ending. The Night Manager was also excellent. I hope Hiddlestone isn't the new Bond. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Tuesday, March 29, 2016, 22:20:12 Better call Saul is next on my list once I've finished breaking bad.

Best season yet. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, April 5, 2016, 16:16:38 shit cliffhanger I thought. Spent all that time building it up, superb last 15 minutes, but now the momentum has been crushed by not resolving it for another 6 months. a collective, oh for fucks sake from most i'd imagine.
bet it leaks out in that time too. they should have looked at game of thrones on how to give watchers a payoff while also a 'fuck' moment. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, April 5, 2016, 20:37:11 shit cliffhanger I thought. Spent all that time building it up, superb last 15 minutes, but now the momentum has been crushed by not resolving it for another 6 months. a collective, oh for fucks sake from most i'd imagine. I though that was a bit shit really. bet it leaks out in that time too. they should have looked at game of thrones on how to give watchers a payoff while also a 'fuck' moment. On one hand, its pretty obvious who it was but in true TWD fashion they will spin in a make it not be the person it should've been. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, April 5, 2016, 21:03:23 On one hand, its pretty obvious who it was Is it? Unless you mean it should follow the comics (I've read that spoiler). Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, April 5, 2016, 21:09:32 It was whoever the black male character in that scene was. I think that's how it's worked so far?
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Tuesday, April 5, 2016, 23:27:11 I've enjoyed every second of Better Call Saul, especially the second series. Seconded. Started watching Dexter today... 2 episodes in, undecided.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, April 6, 2016, 06:26:37 shit cliffhanger I thought.

Agreed. A shit ending to arguably the best series to date. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, April 6, 2016, 19:34:23 Is it? Unless you mean it should follow the comics (I've read that spoiler). I made my assumption without knowing what happens in the comics. I based it on the way the camera pans at the end. Reading various forums there are various theories. At the end of the day, it could be anyone of them. I hope its who i think it is. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, April 6, 2016, 21:46:02 Who do you think it is? One of the van dwellers is the Internet's popular theory. But I read an interview from a producer (I think) saying that he's as sure as he can be that you can't tell.
To be honest, given the way that the Glen dumpster resolution and the leaving the house covered in guts were dealt with whatever angles and theories we have can be undone by the next episode. In six fucking months time. Roll on Game of Thrones :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Thursday, April 7, 2016, 08:45:10 I know who it is supposed to be (from the comics) but I don't think it will be that character. I think it will be one of people from the camper van that went with Rick. To me it just seemed a bit strange why they went with that group.
I might be wrong though, but nobody will know until October anyway.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, April 7, 2016, 12:31:32 I also think there is a traitor in the Rickpire. Or the savours as psychic. One of those.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, April 7, 2016, 17:01:31 I think it'll be Abraham.
1. He volunteered 2. The episode had a pointless scene with him pondering fatherhood with Sacha 3. He should've received the arrow through the eye instead of Denise (as per the comics) 4. Negan remarked "you took that like a champ" after the first blow, nobody else aside from Rick could handle that 5. He's ginger Another option is Aaron whose presence on that trip was entirely pointless and there was a scene in the RV where he barely justified his appearance in the episode. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, April 7, 2016, 19:28:07 one can hope its Coral
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: @mwooly63 on Sunday, April 10, 2016, 20:51:47 Just finished Sons of anarchy on Netflix.
Not sure why didn't watch it when it was on originally but probably the best thing have seen in a long time. Superb. :moped: Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Monday, April 11, 2016, 08:22:19 Just finished Sons of anarchy on Netflix.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, April 18, 2016, 12:13:44 Started watching Bosch a few weeks back on Amazon. I think it's great. We've watched both series on Amazon. Its pretty good, mindless Cop fare! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, April 18, 2016, 12:36:35 Started watching Daredevil last night... ..Decent so far. More to follow.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Monday, April 18, 2016, 13:59:53 Finished breaking bad. I thought it was fucking brilliant.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Monday, April 18, 2016, 14:09:15 Finished breaking bad. I thought it was fucking brilliant. Better Call Saul will continue the fix if you need it. Stands alone by itself. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Monday, April 18, 2016, 14:11:08 I'll be starting that asap.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Monday, April 18, 2016, 15:03:10 I absolutely loved Breaking Bad, but I can't get into Better Call Saul for some reason.
Will have to give it another go from the beginning. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: herthab on Monday, April 18, 2016, 15:20:42 I absolutely loved Breaking Bad, but I can't get into Better Call Saul for some reason. It's a slow burn, but I really enjoy it. Much better to view it on its own merits than compare it to Breaking Bad though. For me, only The Sopranos is better.Will have to give it another go from the beginning. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Monday, April 18, 2016, 15:24:14 I did enjoy Breaking Bad, but Bryan Cranston got on my tits a bit at times.
He had this habit of saying 'Skyler', and nothing else, when they were fighting. 'Skyleeeer'. You know when you live with somebody for a while and you pick up on their slightest mannerisms which then begin to get under your skin? I think it's a bit like that. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: tans on Monday, April 18, 2016, 18:32:46 Finished breaking bad. I thought it was fucking brilliant. Ive only started this recently, currently on series 3 Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, April 18, 2016, 18:53:09 I'm in the Better Call Saul is better camp although whether I'd hold that opinion without watching and knowing what happens in Breaking Bad I don't know...
Anyone else watch Fear the Walking Dead? Thoughts? I found it quite compelling but also desperate at times for some action. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, April 18, 2016, 18:55:34 fear: it's almost good but I really can't stand any of the characters.
I can't really say why it's almost good, I think they've gone from 0-zombies too quickly, or maybe not exploring it in the way I expected. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Monday, April 18, 2016, 19:04:24 Ive only started this recently, currently on series 3 Do you like it ? It gets proper fucked up later on. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: tans on Monday, April 18, 2016, 19:06:29 Do you like it ? It gets proper fucked up later on. Yeah mate cant stop watching it Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: michael on Monday, April 18, 2016, 19:08:36 There's a scene in Breaking Bad in Saul Goodman's office, and his mobile phone rings from inside his desk drawer. He opens the draw to reveal several different phones for him to search through before picking out the one that is ringing. If you enjoyed that, then you'll enjoy Better Call Saul.

He opens the draw to reveal several different phones for him to search through before picking out the one that is ringing. If you enjoyed that, then you'll enjoy Better Call Saul. I reckon I'd enjoy a spin off from any of the characters from breaking bad. The small cast developing like they did helped make it what it was for me. Good ending too which makes a change. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, April 18, 2016, 19:23:52 Better Call Saul is almost as much about Mike as Saul, the confusing but is that he looks ancient now!

So many questions remain unanswered. It's going to take a real dark turn and at some point, it's got to. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, April 18, 2016, 19:34:43 There's a looooong way to go I think.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Friday, April 22, 2016, 13:19:37 Getting through better call Saul now pretty sharpish. It's quality
Thinking sons of anarchy next ? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Friday, April 22, 2016, 14:14:37 Season 3 of prison break is better than i remember it being. I know season 4 was shocking.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Friday, April 22, 2016, 14:44:42 Didn't get into Better Call Saul or The Walking Dead after several episodes of each.
Perhaps I need to persevere, judging by this thread. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, April 22, 2016, 21:29:40 Didn't get into Better Call Saul or The Walking Dead after several episodes of each. That's like me watching several episodes of Breaking Bad after seeing and hearing all the hype. It had promise but ultimately I found it utterly boring. Perhaps I need to persevere, judging by this thread. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Friday, April 22, 2016, 21:38:18 That's like me watching several episodes of Breaking Bad after seeing and hearing all the hype. It had promise but ultimately I found it utterly boring. Ah, see, I loved Breaking Bad. It just gets better and better. The Wire was another one that is rated at least as highly as Breaking Bad, but I struggled with that, watched the first couple but gave up with it. Edit: After re-reading this post I couldn't help but think of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4LhXycJ7rI Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Friday, April 22, 2016, 21:42:25 I'm finding this series of BCS nowhere near as good as the first. I definitely don't think they're so comparable that if you like one you'll like the other.
Still, some things just don't "click" with you no matter how badly they're hyped. I still think GoT is fucking abysmal for example. Starting again Sunday I think? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Friday, April 22, 2016, 21:57:32 Yeah, i've watched it the whole way through and can't say i've enjoyed it that much (Which I know is an oxymoron), it is certainly overhyped, but i've watched them all in the hope it gets better. It's like an amalgamation of Lord Of The Rings, Braveheart and, well, porn.

The solution is as simple as creating a thread with SPOILERS in the title.

Not bad, more than a bit unrealistic and when the end is revealed you think why they bothered with all the bollocks in the middle.If you haven't watched it, the last Line of Duty is fucking superb - best thing I've seen on the box for ages.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Leggett on Tuesday, May 24, 2016, 09:47:11 I watched the Five. So many plot holes and unanswered storylines in the last couple of episodes, it really annoyed me. The first few episodes were thoroughly enjoyable, genuinely didn't know where it was heading, but I guessed the big twist before the reveal.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, June 1, 2016, 12:31:41 Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, at Least when Joey was doing bits.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Wednesday, June 1, 2016, 21:19:05 I would quite happily punch anyone who has ever been involved with top gear and it's cataclysm of xenophobia, laddish, it's-just-bants, childish, "oooh look at this thing that goes fast", nauseating pseudo pub chat racist sexist bullshit.
Why are people kicking off? Has anything changed or is it just that it's Chris Evans doing it now? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ginginho on Thursday, June 2, 2016, 00:13:28 I know, sexism is the worst.
Oh by the way, how are you getting on organising the Euro Stunners? 😄 I didn't actually mind Top Gear but then that's the first time I've watched it for years due to that odious cunt Clarkson. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Thursday, June 2, 2016, 09:18:16 I watched it last night. I know it's always been scripted but it wasn't a problem before, it was too obvious last night though. It's as though they were trying too hard. Evans wasn't as annoying as I was expecting him to be, but then it seems he was trying to emulate Clarkson rather be himself, which was irritating.
Am I actually saying I would prefer Evans to be himself? I'm confused. Maybe it'll get better as they settle in? Or maybe not.

I had no idea that had actually happened, was it reported much on the news at the time?

Only really watched it because we couldnt be arsed to move to get the remote and it turned out to be really good. We watched the first 3 episodes on the Iplayer (bizarrely you can watch it there before its on the TV) and it was good, although the third episode was spoiled a bit (I won't say why). Decent cast and writer though. Some of it was filmed directly outside my (old) office in Canary Wharf.

Decent cast and writer though. Some of it was filmed directly outside my (old) office in Canary Wharf. We actually watched all three last night, I think there re going to be 7 in total so not sure when the others are on? It was Ok, a clever premise but the writer just seemed to lose interest towards the end (not sure if that is why you thought it was spoiled a bit - PM me!), the writer writes mainly teenage fiction which did reflect a little in the dialogue (the 'banter' was a bit grating at times but I am 40 and I suspect not the target demographic), an interesting change of direction for crime drama and one I suspect trying to engage a younger audience by being less formulaic than most. We will definitely watch the rest assuming we remember its on in a three weeks time!

Chris Evans quits Top Gear. The season grew on me as it went on but it was never going to work. They should just bury it now. Started Season 3 of Chicago PD, Loved the first two and this one has started off brilliantly. Hemlock Grove, more the missus watching but from what i've seen it's pretty decent, last few episodes are pretty graphic.

There's 2 series of it up on on iplayer atm and it's definitely worth a watch.

Anything with Ianucci involved I'll happily watch. Watched IT Crowd all the way through again recently, such a brilliant show. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Tuesday, July 26, 2016, 21:57:00 I recently discovered 2004: the stupid version is on YouTube.

Absolutely brilliant, watched 8 in a row so only have 2 more episodes to watch, highly recommended.

It's one of those series' that feels properly well made and likely to be considered a great. It's so well scripted and put together. John Turturro stars as well and he makes me wet.

Absolutely, he also wrote Southpaw.. and is very good friends with Travis Barker from Blink-182 (useless information). I'd heard about the prequel.. I'm not sure what to think about it at the moment... would be pretty good to get some more background with JT & Clay. Incidently, I hear that Brad Pitt could be playing JT?

TGT is not necessarily a car program anymore, but for entertainment purposes it does a job. https://twitter.com/...274142304493568 Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, October 7, 2016, 10:04:11 Got to agree. I'm a car nut and perhaps because I was no longer the show's target audience, TG had begun to annoy me too much to watch it.
However, that looks like a more spectacular version of Top Gear and I suppose removing BBC constraints might make it more watchable as well. Although removing Hammond and telling clarkson to reign in the Clarksonness would probably make the show immeasurably better.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Amir on Saturday, October 29, 2016, 07:56:27 I've not seen the original and I'm without a laptop or internet at home for 5 days, which is why I decided to watch it. I'm not sure if I like it or not so far, but knowing me I'll end up watching the whole thing anyway (I've watched every episode of GOT and I decided that was shit after half an hour) That's nothing, I watched the whole of Prison Break and that's truly utter shite. It was a bit like when I read The Da Vinci Code, I hated it but I couldn't stop, and I actually took some pleasure from my loathing of it :-) I've just been watching Black Mirror, not having known it existed until last week. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Saturday, October 29, 2016, 22:39:28 Just watched final episode of The Fall
Wow, incredible stuff Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Saturday, October 29, 2016, 22:44:49 Just watched final episode of The Fall Wow, incredible stuff I'm planning to watch it tomorrow. Barely anything has happened in the previous 5 hours but I'm gripped. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Saturday, October 29, 2016, 22:53:22 I'm planning to watch it tomorrow. Barely anything has happened in the previous 5 hours but I'm gripped. Yea this series was a bit slow and probably could have been wrapped in 3 episodes. The last episode is a corker though Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Saturday, October 29, 2016, 23:32:59 Just watched The Young Pope. Pretty slow, and no idea where it's going yet, but watchable. Also just caught the man in the high castle first season which I remember others liked, thought it was very good.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, October 31, 2016, 11:16:40 Don't hear many people talk about Lucifer, not just here but in general. Its an Amazon Prime original jobby and really worth watching.

Its an Amazon Prime original jobby and really worth watching. Don't know how up to date you are with it but the latest episode was excellent. A new series based on the movie Frequency - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0186151/?ref_=nv_sr_2 - started recently, it has been a really strong start, I'd recommend it for sure. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, October 31, 2016, 12:06:08 Yea this series was a bit slow and probably could have been wrapped in 3 episodes. The last episode is a corker though Great way to end the programme. Just started to watch Frequency KT, seems like its going to be quite good. Also watching 'The Code' which is an Australian drama and has made a strong start (had to pay for it mind) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Monday, October 31, 2016, 12:26:38 I've been suffering from a Labyrinthitis/Vertigo thing so have watched a fair bit recently including Line of Duty (thanks to the recommendations on here) which I loved and also White Collar which was easy enjoyable viewing which is just what you need when you are rendered useless.

I don't mind snakes at all, I even used to keep some. Those racer snakes gave the the heebie jeebies though, they had such malevolence about them. Some sublime filming went into that.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: red sheldon on Monday, November 14, 2016, 19:53:20 I've just finished watching Quantico on Sky Box Sets, which was okay, but I'd like a recommendation as to what to start watching now, it has to be on Sky box sets as we dont have Netflix. So what good American crime series are out there??
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Monday, November 14, 2016, 23:24:31 Anyone watch NW on BBC 2 tonight?

Title: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Sunday, November 20, 2016, 20:56:33 For me it's being slow to reveal the main plot too, though I suspect last week it finally did..(that's UK pace, no idea where USA is at)
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, November 20, 2016, 21:30:52 I think the main gist of it was clear within the first 3-4 episodes, there's been no real twists or surprises.
Plenty of boobs though. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Monday, November 21, 2016, 00:31:20 I watched the first series of Alpha House on prime today. Not up there with West Wing, but still an entertaining look at American politics.

I wish I hadn't Yeah I watched that, very strange. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, November 21, 2016, 12:33:54 Yeah I watched that, very strange. It had good reviews so thought I'd give it a go. Its so strange.Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Monday, November 21, 2016, 12:58:20 Been away for a few days back down in the 'Shire, when I got back the missus has signed up for Prime (not really sure why) so will have to have a root around and see what I can find on there!

Kiefer Sutherland is brilliant as usual, but I fear the plot lines are going to get more and more ridiculous. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Wednesday, November 23, 2016, 18:28:10 Is anyone else watching Designated Survivor on Netflix? Kiefer Sutherland is brilliant as usual, but I fear the plot lines are going to get more and more ridiculous. Yeah. I've been enjoying it. I want them to get back on track really but I dare say it'll all link together in the end. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Sippo on Friday, November 25, 2016, 21:10:48 Just watching max and Paddy on dvd. It's great.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Friday, November 25, 2016, 22:03:21 Just watching max and Paddy on dvd. It's great. I could never manage to sit through that. I love love That Peter Kay Thing and Phoenix Nights (the first series anyway) but it was like M&P took everything that was bad about the second and made it into a series. I want to watch that Peter Kay thing now.. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Friday, November 25, 2016, 22:07:50 Max and Paddy grows on you. It's all about the silly little things you missed the 1st/2nd time watching it.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Friday, November 25, 2016, 23:03:27 Kay's famous for that. Car Share even had lovely little bits in it like that (Husband missing, last seen with a whore)
Maybe I should give it another go. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Saturday, November 26, 2016, 01:45:58 Peter Kay is odd, shit stand up, and pretty annoying in general, but put him in a sitcom, genius.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Quagmire on Saturday, November 26, 2016, 11:02:01 I think Peter Kay is a brilliant stand up. 100 times better that your Michael McIntyre's and Jack Whitehall's.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Saturday, November 26, 2016, 15:25:48 I too think Kay is better at stand up than he is at sitcoms. I don't find Pheonix, M&P or car share funny. But then I don't find Black adder and Alan Partridge funny, and everyone else seems to, so maybe it's me..
Title: Re: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Saturday, November 26, 2016, 16:34:20 I think Peter Kay is a brilliant stand up. 100 times better that your Michael McIntyre's and Jack Whitehall's. That's not saying much, Theresa May is better at stand up that the last two.....Peter Kay did one decent stand up routine, touring it to death and then releasing the same routine on DVD multiple times under different names so loads of people now have bought it multiple times. As for his sitcom writing, quality often seems to depend who he is writing with, one could interpret that in a number of ways? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: suttonred on Saturday, November 26, 2016, 18:22:54 I too think Kay is better at stand up than he is at sitcoms. I don't find Pheonix, M&P or car share funny. But then I don't find Black adder and Alan Partridge funny, and everyone else seems to, so maybe it's me.. Yep it's you :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Saturday, November 26, 2016, 20:06:25 The Grand Tour. First episode was really good and enjoyable. This weeks was terrible, its was so cringy and embarrassing. The car content was good but the SAS segment was awful
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: donkey on Saturday, November 26, 2016, 22:44:01 I too think Kay is better at stand up than he is at sitcoms. I don't find Pheonix, M&P or car share funny. But then I don't find Black adder and Alan Partridge funny, and everyone else seems to, so maybe it's me.. Sorry, Berni. It really is you. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Saturday, November 26, 2016, 22:53:53 Sorry, Berni. It really is you. The Black Adder is almost unwatchable and, although I can happily watch it, I don't think the Goes Forth is as good as what many say. Blackadder II and Blackadder the Third are very good. Partridge is ace. Phoenix Nights was very good as an ensemble comedy and I tolerated Kay in Cradle to the Grave despite the accent but I've never understood the level of hype towards him. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, November 26, 2016, 23:27:07 That Peter Kay Thing was good, Phoenix Nights had moments but overall he is just another average comic.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Sunday, November 27, 2016, 10:45:43 I think some of Peter Kay's stand up routines are up there with the best of them. Belly laugh brilliant.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: herthab on Sunday, November 27, 2016, 19:19:21 Discussions about whether a comedian is good or not are as pointless as discussing best bands, best films, etc.
Stewart Lee is, for me, one of the best comedians going. A lot of people think he's just a smug liberal cunt. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Sunday, November 27, 2016, 19:27:54 Stewart Lee is, for me, one of the best comedians going. A lot of people think he's just a smug liberal cunt. He's both :) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Sunday, November 27, 2016, 19:35:37 find him a bit boring myself, but yes pointless comparing.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Sunday, November 27, 2016, 20:44:42 Discussions about whether a comedian is good or not are as pointless as discussing best bands, best films, etc. You could say that about everything. Footballers, cars, politics, etc. It's just people's opinions like on any subject. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Monday, November 28, 2016, 00:58:46 Discussions about whether a comedian is good or not are as pointless as discussing best bands, best films, etc. Stewart Lee is, for me, one of the best comedians going. A lot of people think he's just a smug liberal cunt. I adore Stewart Lee, but can still laugh at bits of the likes of Kay/McKintyre. I'd say it's very easy to get smug about comedy, but then as its primary purpose is to be enjoyed, who cares? If it makes you laugh then why not. Ish. Still, there's always that one you would think twice before saving from drowning *sorry Lee Evans* Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Thursday, December 1, 2016, 14:23:04 The Missing - last part last night.
It was an excellent series - much better than the first one, I thought.

It was an excellent series - much better than the first one, I thought. A couple of nights ago I started watching it on iPlayer, then went to carry on last night and discovered all episodes preceding the fifth have been removed. :( Fortunately it's readily available by torrent. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Thursday, December 1, 2016, 22:51:09 I'll let you have John Bishop, Lee Evans would probably flail around so much someone would inevitably save him. Although I did like Bishop's joke about having a kid who liked football and "the other one." I've got a new laptop so I can finally start watching all the stuff people have recommended me, starting with Planet Earth. There's nothing eight legged in it, is there? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Thursday, December 1, 2016, 23:33:30 The Missing - last part last night. Didnt see the first one. Saw this and enjoyed it. Although, I thought it lurched along a little in places and zoomed through to the end.It was an excellent series - much better than the first one, I thought. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, December 4, 2016, 10:43:42 Lucifer is very good Just started watching this last night, 5 episodes in and me and the wife are hooked, very dry humour and quite funny, very impressed so far.Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: chalkies_shorts on Sunday, December 4, 2016, 12:34:53 Would recommend Vikings to anyone.

I think we are on episode 7/8 something like that, its a bit plodding at times but I find most stuff is as producers seem to drag it out, The Crown on Netflix has been similarly hard work and could probably have been boxed off in about 5 episodes! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, December 5, 2016, 13:18:21 I think it's indicative of many of these new series' made by these streaming outlets. Quite a few of the shows I've seen that are made by Netflix (or Amazon) seem to take forever to go anywhere, and sometimes never do.
It reminds me of much of Lost and a few series' of The Walking Dead. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Monday, December 5, 2016, 21:20:31 Those jumping birds on Planet Earth II. I had a mouthful of beer on the wide-shot where there were loads of them. Booze went fucking everywhere.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, January 3, 2017, 11:25:04 Been tasking Criminal Minds Season 11 over the past week with the missus. Love the show. This season is very dark seems to been concentrating a lot on child abduction. It turns out, having children has turned me into a pussy and on a number of occasions i got quite emotional.

Some quite funny parts, though. Has potential for me. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, February 20, 2017, 11:29:57 Watched the first 2 episodes of Legion this weekend.

Someone off here recommended it ages ago and I thank them, total quality. The man in the high castle was ok, watchable not brilliant. Travelers is ok as was the expanse. Narcos is excellent. American gothic crap. Now starting the following.
Will be laid up for another week. Amazon prime and Netflix are paying their way at the moment. Any recommendations welcome.

Stan Lee's Lucky Man series 1, with James Nesbitt is available on Sky On Demand which I really enjoyed, and series 2 for that starts Friday if you can fit them all in.Will be laid up for another week. Amazon prime and Netflix are paying their way at the moment. Any recommendations welcome. I don't know if you are in to your boxing but the Joe Calzaghe film is on Amazon Prime and is also really good.

Have to say its pretty decent silly brain out TV that's starting to tail off a bit now, but it has a high boob count.
Charlie Runkle is a great character. Duchovny shows he isn't just Fox Mulder, and the women who plays Marcy was the voice of Bobby Hill. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Wednesday, March 1, 2017, 11:56:07 The Replacement (BBC 1 ) was good last night.

I wasn't aware of the fuss in the tabloids TBH I never ever read them.The mumbling did spoil it, I have bad tinnitus anyway and it was awful having the volume so loud that when any bangs or shouting came up it nearly shook the room yet I could barely make out the words many spoke, but the lead character was by far the worst for me..

There's lots to like about it, as it's quite unique feeling and I'm sure students of film would have massive circlular wank trains over some of it, but it's now getting on my tits and feels a bit self-indulgent. Edit: Just checked. It was episode 4 I last watched and I decided enough was enough. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: chalkies_shorts on Wednesday, March 8, 2017, 07:27:05 Same here with Legion.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Posh Red on Tuesday, March 28, 2017, 20:33:24 This programme about Rio Ferdinand is tough viewing. Puts all your petty problems in the shade. Having lost my wife a year ago I'm not sure whether to watch it or not. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Leggett on Tuesday, March 28, 2017, 20:47:21 Just makes me think I'd be fucking useless in that position. Hard watch indeed.
Title: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, March 28, 2017, 20:48:42 most of us would be Leggett, but we've no idea what we can do when our kids depend on us i suppose.
not watching, too emotional in old age. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, March 29, 2017, 08:22:46 Not belittling Rio's position in the slightest, but he does have the benefit of being stinking rich whilst the rest of us would have to continue working AND look after our grieving children.
Well done Rio for speaking about it though, he came across very genuine and the short clip I watched was extremely powerful viewing. There's no way I'd cope so well with the loss of my wife.

That has been a long time coming, I'd almost forgotten about the show. April 11th on Netflix, series 1 was ok but not great but series 2 was excellent.Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, April 6, 2017, 08:40:10 Prison break S5 E1 was actually surprisingly OK. It was always going to be a slow start and wasn't expecting any major drama in the first episode but i do like how some of the characters have developed and also looks to be a decent side story alongside trying to break Michael out of Prison.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Thursday, April 6, 2017, 15:05:47 April 11th on Netflix, series 1 was ok but not great but series 2 was excellent.

'The 12 Days of Christine' episode with Sheridan Smith is amongst the best 30 minutes television I've ever seen. It'll linger with me for a long time.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Sunday, April 23, 2017, 19:12:23 The David Rocastle and Ian Wright documentary, Rocky and Wrighty: From Brockley To The Big Time, is great. You should be able to watch it here I think:
http://sport.bt.com/video/rocky-wrighty-from-brockley-to-the-big-time-91364170046171 or it's repeated on BT Sport every now and again. Rocastle was in the generation just as I got into football really, so only knew the name. Amazing story about him, how he grew up with and then helped and nagged Ian Wright into the professional game before they ended up at Arsenal together. Plus an amazing player and man, by literally all accounts. Didn't know that Ian Wright broke his leg twice in a season then played 20 minutes of an FA cup final, scoring twice, in the same season and not long after the second break. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Amir on Monday, April 24, 2017, 19:14:00 Enjoying the new Line of Duty, if a little lost by the storyline. What's with the way the two main characters speak though? The bloke in particular, but then he is a jock so maybe can't speak with too much emotion or the twang comes out? He was in a great Ken Loach film as a kid, called Sweet Sixteen.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Monday, April 24, 2017, 20:27:31 Sweet Sixteen was great.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, April 25, 2017, 12:11:51 Powered through Broadchurch on my week off. Following a brilliant first season the general feel was that season 2 was poor and then 3 was as good, if not better than 1.
I thought season 2 was still a great season and it was 3 that disappointing. All 3 seasons a decent watch nonetheless Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, April 25, 2017, 12:23:23 I'm loving line of duty but have only watched it from this series.

I'll wait for this one to finish then will go back to the start. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Berniman on Tuesday, April 25, 2017, 13:15:17 I agree with Chalkie, well worth backtracking to the start..
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Tuesday, April 25, 2017, 14:42:41 I too will agree about Line of Duty - Started watching when Series 3 began - watched the previous 2 straight after. They often refer back to the previous storylines too.
Wouldn't mind watching them all again actually - easily one of the best things on TV at the moment. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, April 25, 2017, 14:59:22 Another Line of Duty fan here. Great television.

Danish subtitled drama. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, May 1, 2017, 17:58:39 Line of Duty was excellent, fantastic ending and already looking forward to the next. I'd write more but want to avoid spoilers.
Watched series 1 and 2 of Inside No. 9 since last night, some episodes were a bit of a miss but mostly excellent, as Costanza said the episode with Sheridan Smith was particularly powerful. I can't find series 3 anywhere though? I've also recently finished watching Dag, recommend it to anyone who enjoys dark comedy with a twist of drama. Not sure what to watch next, GoT and Sopranos both on Sky but value my free time... Ells: I tried Hinterland even I found it too fucking miserable. I didn't particularly find it gripping either. Does it get better after the first couple of episodes?

It definitely doesn't get any cheerier though! Can't stand GoT personally, so I'd recommend Sopranos all the way..

Apologies if it's a dumb question Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, July 25, 2017, 14:30:43 Quick question. Is it possible to have 2 boxes attached to your TV. Want TalkTalk broadband with Sky Sports and Now TV for Sky Atlantic etc. Depend on your TV. NowTV is an HDMI connector. I assume the TalkTalk box is too? If you've got two spare HDMI sockets then great, if not you'll need an HDMI switch that can take lotds of inputs and provides one output to your TV (I have no recommendations - but something like): https://www.amazon.co.uk/GANA-Intelligent-splitter-switcher-Supports/dp/B071HX6YB4/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1500993141&sr=1-3&keywords=hdmi+switch+4k (not a recommendation) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Tails on Tuesday, July 25, 2017, 14:35:09 I would recommend not getting Talk Talk broadband it is absolute dog turd.
I use my PS4 for Now TV. You can get a Sports pass with it aswell as the Entertainment one. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Tuesday, July 25, 2017, 14:42:22 Thanks, guys.

I found this yesterday when just browsing... ploughed through 4 episodes in a row, it's excellent! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Wednesday, August 16, 2017, 07:56:39 Anyone watch Valkyrien? The first episode was on C4, the rest has to be watched online.
Its Norwegian, with subtitles, but the first episode has made me want to watch the rest. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Wednesday, August 16, 2017, 10:38:18 The first episode of the new series of People Just Do Nothing went up on iPlayer yesterday. Great stuff again.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Wednesday, August 16, 2017, 20:24:41 The first episode of the new series of People Just Do Nothing went up on iPlayer yesterday. Great stuff again. I haven't seen it yet but I'm so glad that got another series and/or it's still good, brilliant show. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Wednesday, August 16, 2017, 22:22:29 Been watching Suits, was my wife's idea and we've rattled through to the early part of season six. It's pretty predictable but its engrossing enough.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Sippo on Thursday, August 17, 2017, 17:40:00 Some classics on forces TV. A-Team at 6pm everyday. My lad is loving it as much as I used to!
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Thursday, August 17, 2017, 18:19:08 forces TV. Loved watching SSVC when I lived in Fallingbostel as a kid in the late 80's/early 90's. It didn't have adverts so when live football was aired, they just played movie trailers or nothing at all. Perfect. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, August 17, 2017, 19:59:49 I love Parks and Recreation. It's literally the perfect sitcom.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Thursday, August 17, 2017, 20:55:53 It is amazing, I have watched it three times through. All the characters are so strong and I think Jean-Ralphio is my favourite cameo ever.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Leggett on Friday, August 18, 2017, 09:27:49 First season was a teeny weeny bit of a slog, mind. Only really kept up with it as I was promised the second season onwards is really good!
Just finished season one of Preacher, had read a few of the graphic novels a good ten years ago, really liked it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Friday, August 18, 2017, 17:20:45 First season was a teeny weeny bit of a slog, mind. Only really kept up with it as I was promised the second season onwards is really good! S1 of Parks and Rec is only 6 episodes long so that is damning :) It was all about Tom and Jean-Ralphio for me.... and Chris Pratt before he became super-mega-name. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, August 18, 2017, 17:37:53 I watched half of series 1 a few years back and decided it wasn't for me. Glad I gave it another go and it's been consistently excellent. All the characters are superb and I can't think of any other show that is so genuinely feel good.
Similarly but also opposite, I took forever to get into Seinfeld and am enjoying it now. It's a truly horrible show with horrible people though. It's a good balance Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Sunday, August 20, 2017, 11:00:26 Blood drive..Plot spoilers below ..
Its like wacky races meets Mad max, but set in a dystopian 1999, where the winner of the race gets enough cash to leave the hellhole. Oh and did I mention the cars in the race run off human blood? Very tongue in cheek I think, I kind of enjoyed it as a stupid but watchable kind of thing!

Very good so far.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, August 23, 2017, 08:26:03 I enjoyed Goliath, although it did have annoying aspects. There was one thing that really got my back up in the first episode though. So much I can still clearly remember it.
I know it's stupid, but still, it's nonsense. He walks out of his apartment, steals his neighbour's paper, stands in dog shit and then, instead of wiping his foot on the grass next to him, which is obviously perfectly suited for the purpose, he starts trying to wipe it off with the paper he just stole. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, August 23, 2017, 09:30:50 I enjoyed Goliath, although it did have annoying aspects. There was one thing that really got my back up in the first episode though. So much I can still clearly remember it. We said the exact same things. I know it's stupid, but still, it's nonsense. He walks out of his apartment, steals his neighbour's paper, stands in dog shit and then, instead of wiping his foot on the grass next to him, which is obviously perfectly suited for the purpose, he starts trying to wipe it off with the paper he just stole. I did find in both episodes 1 and 2 that it started off well, but started to get a bit tiresome towards the end but then ended on highs so its kept out attention so far.

After thinking the ending seemed not be be an end at all it transpires that there are actually 16 episodes and the fucking BBC are holding the last 6 back to show 'at a later date this year', what the actual fuck, expected some conclusions and instead are more bloody confused than ever and will have to try and remember what the hell has happened to watch the rest.

It perhaps bites off more than it can chew at times but worth it in the long run. The last episode was great.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, September 19, 2017, 16:07:14 Ozark was great, but then again I'm a big Jason Bateman fan so I was bound to like it.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Ells on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, 14:46:47 I watched the first episode of Liar and barely finished that.

LOG return is very exciting though! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: horlock07 on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, 15:02:00 I watched the first episode of Liar and barely finished that. I think Tom Smith is watching it if that helps (he doesn't seem to have much else to do) LOG return is very exciting though! It could have been quite interesting but has just turned into formulaic bollocks, its written by the same people who wrote Rellik which is on the other side at the same time against it and both of them are pretentious wank! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Leggett on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, 21:21:37 Watched the last couple of 'Detectives - murder on the streets', which has been quite eye-opening. Some very sad stories on there.

Mindhunter - Netflix 4 blocks - Amazon Prime. Binge watched German drama. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, October 24, 2017, 19:55:50 Mindhunter - Netflix Absolutely brilliant but it’s a David Ficher piece of work so shouldn’t be surprised Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, October 25, 2017, 08:55:17 Absolutely brilliant but it’s a David Ficher piece of work so shouldn’t be surprised Watched the first episode last night, 30 minutes in, i was close to turning it off but glad i didn't. Looking forward to more now.We're massive crime series fans in the Chubbs house hold, NCIS, Criminal Minds, etc so its going to be interesting to see how psychology and behaviour analysis became a massive part of crime solving. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, October 25, 2017, 09:35:04 Watched the first episode last night, 30 minutes in, i was close to turning it off but glad i didn't.

We're massive crime series fans in the Chubbs house hold, NCIS, Criminal Minds, etc so its going to be interesting to see how psycology and behaviour analysis because a massive part of crime solving. Glad you stuck with it. We were the same after the first episode as its quite slow. There is little action and a lot of dialogue which I am finding fascinating. Sounds like your household is like ours, both Mrs Bob and I love crime/police style dramas, can't get enough of them. NCIS is a pet love. Its a bit silly but I guess that is what makes it watchable.

Was pretty decent to be honest. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, October 30, 2017, 10:37:19 I'll be interested to hear what you think by the end of the second series.
Without giving much away, my view is it started strongly, but while remaining very watchable/entertaining was a bit silly in the way the characters behaved. Still a good watch.

Anyone else find it really quiet at times? Watched series 1, was brilliant, loss interest about half way through series two and not watched since, keep meaning to watch it again and see if it holds me better on a second viewing but ain't got the time so far. I do wonder whether Taboo will be the same, great first series, downhill after that? Sound in stuff pisses me off a lot and also the fact that everything seems to now be filmed really dark! Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Flashheart on Friday, December 8, 2017, 19:06:02 I've never seen it, but such differences in volume have always been a pet hate of mine. You'd think that they'd have realised it long ago and it would be an industry standard to avoid it. Evidently not, though.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, December 8, 2017, 22:55:37 I’ve never understood why they don’t do what they do with music and run the entire audio track through some kind of compressor. It’s what I hate about a lot of podcasts as well.

I've just worked through all three series of The Leftovers, which I mostly enjoyed throughout. Started trying to watch Fauda about Israeli secret service in the occupied territories. It seems like it could be good, except for the horrible dubbed English parts. The rest is Arabic/Hebrew with English subtitles and is really watchable.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Monday, April 9, 2018, 19:08:14 My dad was from Northern Ireland, but never really spoke about it. It was really interesting for me to learn a bit more about the history of the place. My Irish Uncle was in the R.U.C during the mid 80s onwards. He never spoke much about it but had to regularly check the family car for potential explosives and/or tracking devices. Real sketchy times, more so as from about 1988 they had their little one (my cousin). I can't imagine what that would've been like for him. Every day, going to work not knowing if; a) he'd make it home in one piece. or b) his family would be there when he got home. I was fortunate in later years, around 2000/2001 to get a chance to look round the police vehicle compound. Many of which were armoured vehicles for dignitaries/heads of state as well as several unmarked ARVs. The incredible weight of the doors of what looked like a normal Rover 75 and thickness of glass at around 3 inches thick. Little did I know at the time, this little browse would give me knowledge later the line, for a future job role.

Will watch the last episode tonight. Some of the acting is questionable, but the story is absolutely heartbreaking.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, May 15, 2018, 12:29:01 Safe. A Netflix Original staring Michael C. Hall of Dexter fame.
In short, a girl (Hall's daughter) goes missing after a party and we slowly learn that everyone within the gated community has a secret of their own to hide. It's not flawless, some niggling annoyances with continuity and i wont go into Hall's terrible attempt at an English accent, but other than that, very gripping and worth watching.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Private Fraser on Wednesday, June 13, 2018, 17:40:06 Currently watching Flight HS13, a sub-titled Dutch thriller on Channel 4/All4, which is quite good.
Also, the Danny Baker World Cup programme on BBC4 last night was good fun, if you like nostalgia. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Wednesday, June 13, 2018, 17:40:32 Yep, on Netflix. Pretty violent watching.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aq_0qJoUzvU Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Wobbly Bob on Wednesday, June 13, 2018, 18:20:52 Gomorrah. Lots of intense staring by sharp haircuts and beards. Great stuff. Can't wait for season 4.
If you don't mind subtitles then Babylon Berlin and Braquo were very good as well. Currently watching Occupied a Norwegian political thriller. At least the ears don't have to concentrate. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Private Fraser on Wednesday, June 13, 2018, 18:37:20 Thought Babylon Berlin was excellent. Must have cost a fortune to make.
Have just finished watching Occupied. Thought it was ok but preferred the Dutch cop show, Rough Justice.

Series 4 wasn’t out at the time, but I’ve finally found the time to finish it, Jesus it’s good, the best series I’ve seen in a long time. And the final series was brilliant.
If you like computers and tech you’ll like it even more. Like the end of any good series, my life feels a little hollow now it’s finished.

Then being asked to shout the 'N' word and, like that great South Park episode, going straight for the N-bomb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPRv4snVLmU It was 'naggers' of course. I'd love to know how on earth he gets the chance to interview some of the biggest names (e.g. "Bernard Sanders" in the new series). I'd guess each has a tailored approach to catch them.

Having seen him in GoT's I spent the first two episodes commenting on how shit his Scottish accent was, to discover afterwards that the actor is actually Scottish!

Whilst we were on holiday we were working through the Lie to Me box set, finished the first series and its OK.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, September 11, 2018, 13:25:07 Ultimate Beastmaster on Netflix.

I dare say it’d be quite watchable if it was just people taking the course on (like Ninja Warrior) and without the seriously, seriously fucking annoying commentary teams.

Walking dead. ;) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: pauld on Monday, October 15, 2018, 14:11:11 Doctor Who. tbf, while I'd agree the first couple of episodes haven't been great, they usually aren't, they usually use take a couple of episodes to establish the new characters (Dr and assistants) then pick up after that.(yes yes, its a kids show) While the UK seems to be wanking over Jodie Whittaker's performance, I just can't warm to it. Breathless dizzy doctor. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, October 15, 2018, 14:19:04 true enough. here's hoping
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, October 15, 2018, 14:21:53 As for far fetched....Exhibit A. Game of thrones. Exhibit B. Walking dead. ;) Well indeed, but we go into them knowing they’re not remotely attached to reality. And by far fetched, I meant convenient sets of circumstances, or how intelligent people do really stupid shit. Like when eve’s colleague in the hat follows a supposedly ruthless assassin, laughably badly, into a night club unarmed. He works for mi5 and he’s a spy, it was like he’d had a lobotomy. Regarding liking it as a comic drama that’s fair enough, I suppose I expected something more serious, I guess. Don’t know. It just felt a bit confused in my opinion. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, October 15, 2018, 17:19:37 It just felt a bit confused in my opinion. I think it was a drama with a bit of comic interludes but I understand what you are saying, took 3 or 4 episodes for me to be bothered by the characters and yes not a lot of depth to it but I did find it entertaining. Despite several plot holes.Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Bewster on Tuesday, October 16, 2018, 07:32:28 Been watching Jessica Jones on Netflix.
Not really into the whole Marvel thing but I've enjoyed it. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, October 18, 2018, 08:56:31 I know hes a bit like marmite but we've been watching Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father on Netflix.
This is the 2nd installment and its just as good as the first. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Friday, October 26, 2018, 19:41:24 Fuck me. This Stand Up to Cancer is a hard watch at times.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, October 29, 2018, 13:50:54 Binge watched The Haunting of Hill House over the weekend.
Well worth a watch. I wouldn't say it was overly scary per-se but a few jumpy moments and just an all round decent watch. Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Monday, October 29, 2018, 14:41:46 Inside No. 9 Live 👏🏼 Not got round to watching yet but IN9 ha been awesome stuff. Did you ever watch Psychoville? Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Costanza on Monday, October 29, 2018, 16:05:37 Not got round to watching yet but IN9 ha been awesome stuff. Did you ever watch Psychoville? Yup. I’m a Shearsmith, Pemberton (and Gatiss/Dyson) fan. I’m not sure you’ll get a full appreciation of the live event on iplayer but still a fun viewing.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, November 15, 2018, 10:36:50 it's different. quite dark in places without going into, say, the TWD baseball bat scene violence. far from that.
good underlying story arch adds 'story of the week' episodes later - inevitable and not too bad Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, November 15, 2018, 10:45:20 started to re-watch Peep show from the beginning. Still just a good 2nd time round.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, November 15, 2018, 11:09:12 I've just re-watched all five seasons of Breaking Bad.

I know i've watched it, but i don't remember half the stuff that's happened :-)The later series were better than I remember, found them a bit meh at the time.

There is a bit in it when they interview his surgeon, who in my opinion was close to tears due to Billy's attitude. I hope he makes it to F1, he will be a true people's champion (not that he isn't already) Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Legends-Lounge on Thursday, December 6, 2018, 19:16:17 To Good To Go Down. Documentary on Man Utd from the 1968 European Cup winning team until the got promoted back to the old Div1 after being relegated. Really, really interesting as well as being nostalgic.
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Friday, December 7, 2018, 10:28:54 Just watched the first episode of Out of Their Skins - documentary about the history of black footballers in UK from 1978.
Even though football was a major part of my life then, as a young man I honestly either didn’t notice the racism or blocked it out. Or, maybe even worse, I thought of it as nothing out of the usual at that time. Fair fucks to those young black fellas who turned such a negative into a positive. Not sure I could have.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Wednesday, January 2, 2019, 21:35:14 Watched Sunderland Til I Die on Netflix - first couple of episodes were a bit meh I thought but then it really drew me in (I guess when it became apparent how much shit they were in that season). Highly recommend for a look behind the scenes type of thing (apparently the Man City one is more of an advert than any actual nitty gritty, but haven't watched it yet).
Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Quagmire on Wednesday, January 2, 2019, 21:55:58 Great to see Luther back on the telly last night. Gruesome as usual.

Highly recommend for a look behind the scenes type of thing (apparently the Man City one is more of an advert than any actual nitty gritty, but haven't watched it yet). I've got Netflix free for a month so have watched both of these recently. Really enjoyed both but the Sunderland one was particularly good. Chris Coleman is quite David Brent.

Title: Re: Telly Programs Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, January 11, 2019, 10:44:47 Finished watching series 2 of Making a Murderer, which I didn't expect to be worth watching as I'd felt the story was pretty much done. Turns out I was very wrong.
It could be because the first series is no longer fresh in my mind, but I think I enjoyed it more then the first series; Zellner is great. And it makes you dislike Ken Kratz and his girly voice even more.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Costanza on Sunday, March 10, 2019, 08:58:23 I got through the six 'After Life' episodes very easily. Very watchable.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: herthab on Sunday, March 10, 2019, 12:40:20 I got through the six 'After Life' episodes very easily. Very watchable. Yep. If you're a fan of Gervais, particularly his old XFM shows and podcasts with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington, there's a lot in After Life you'll have already heard. That didn't hamper my enjoyment though, very funny but also moving in parts, with a great cast. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Quagmire on Sunday, March 10, 2019, 14:45:15 Just finished it myself, thought it was brilliant - would even go as far as saying it’s his best work.
On to series 2 of White Gold now. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: StfcRusty on Sunday, March 10, 2019, 19:14:48 New Netflix sporting documentary series called Losers. Episode 2 is about Torquay United's last minute escape from relegation out of the football league in 1987. Kenny Allen is interviewed and features throughout. He looks about 100 now.

Might just be me, but the 'good guys' don't come across as particularly likeable? I was rooting for the Thandie Newton character in the last series, but there might have been hormonal reasons for that. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, April 1, 2019, 10:11:39 I'm sure it was really obvious but I completely missed the twist at the end of the first episode.

Finished off Baptiste last night as well which I really enjoyed. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Monday, April 1, 2019, 10:15:57 Line of Duty.

Its ok, but from the first 2 episodes its too similar to Heroes in my opinion Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Monday, April 1, 2019, 20:24:06 Wasn't thrilled by the start of series 2 of White Gold but it got better as it went on. Can just see series 3 (if there is one) being White Gold but with a tinge of Benidorm to it.
Also been watching Fleabag which is fucking brilliant. Title: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, April 1, 2019, 20:26:53 W-Windows

Watched 'My F***ing Tourette's Family' on C4, about a family from Bicester with two boys with Tourette's. The best verbal tick was whilst walking through a theme park and the 7 year-old points at his Mum and yells, "She had a BANGING shit this morning."
Joking aside the Mum was amazing and it made life much more challenging for them. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Saxondale on Friday, April 12, 2019, 15:15:43 The funniest, but also most touching, thing Ive ever heard regarding tourettes is a girl called Jess Thom who goes under the banner Tourettes hero. Her interview with Richard Herring on his RHLSTP podcast had me in tears both from the way she dealt with her tics and the way she described growing up and facing it.
Well worth seeking it out on itunes or acast etc. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, 10:58:26 Into series 2 of Line of Duty now.

It was a concern but none of us were overly bothered, but then none of us actually knew the extent of the problem mostly due to the Russian penchant for absolute secrecy and how bad it actually could have been.

Freddy Flintoft just looked out of place, his presenting seems forced and unnatural and was just a general clown and over "laddish". Paddy was ok, a bit more natural but him a Freddy just didn't do it for me. I thought Chris Harris would be a prominent presenter taking over from Matt LeBlanc but Paddy and Freddy seemed to almost overshadow him with their "banter".

Better than LeBlanc who was more false than Freddy was last night, and always turned it into a US cars better than European cars debate, and much better than Evans.
I agree that Freddy is not suited to studio presenting but nor was LeBlanc - He was much better in the filmed stuff though. I think Chris Harris is the best man to do the actual reviews, enjoyed his piece on the Ferrari and Maclaren. A shame that they don't seem to be doing a random celebrity in a car though, used to enjoy that, broke up the program a bit. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, June 17, 2019, 09:43:54 I thought it was decent, took it back closer to the format when JC was in charge. Better than LeBlanc who was more false than Freddy was last night, and always turned it into a US cars better than European cars debate, and much better than Evans. I agree that Freddy is not suited to studio presenting but nor was LeBlanc - He was much better in the filmed stuff though.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Richie Wellen-Dowd on Friday, June 21, 2019, 09:28:41 Echo what has been said about Chernobyl. Fascinating, frightening and absolutely horrifying.
Did anyone watch When They See Us? Another terrible indictment of the American justice system, as if another one was needed. One thing that didn't sit quite right though was the glossing over what happened in the park with that group. I guess it was difficult as they didn't want to suggest any of the five had been involved, it just seemed a bit of a cop out.

They seem to gang up on Chris, who to me should be at the forefront of the show but they seem to belittle him every chance they get. Its just unconformable viewing.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, July 15, 2019, 08:34:57 Last episode of Top Gear last night. I must say, i enjoyed this one.
As i mentioned originally it made for unconformable viewing at times with Freddie being a knob all the time and being a dick towards Chris. The producers must have seen it because when segments were done with only 2 of them, any combination of the 2 it was actually pretty good. Chris' 20 second reviews crack me up too Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Berniman on Monday, July 15, 2019, 12:08:24 I think this was the best Top Gear have produced since the original cast members departed - could be better, but at least it is getting back to it's roots somewhat

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, 08:38:46 The new Top gear is going back to the early Clarkson/May/Hammond style.
They all seem to get on, take the piss out of each other with no ego's, they fight and laugh and its not about the cars its about how they bounce off each other. Individually I dislike them all for one reason or another but as a team they make a great unit. I heard some good things so I gave it a go and it was excellent, the electric shock/milkshake sequence in episode 2 (I think) was comedy gold. At least Twat Le Blanc and the ever increasing ego of Chris Evans have left along with the black personailtyless chap who was neither funny nor knowledgable. Give it a go, I don't think you will be disappointed. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, 08:57:33 OK, you've convinced me. I'll give it a go

At times i felt that paddy and freddie were borderline bullying chris, it went way past a bit of banter. I like Chris, he is the only one who actually knows about cars, and i'm sure you've noticed the producers have only let Chris get behind the wheel of the performance cars. As i said, when its just two of the together, its great. I really enjoyed the Iceland segment in ep 5 with freddie and chris, but when the 3 of them are together, its just too much. Maybe im a boring old fart. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, 09:12:22 I can't say I thought it was bullying TBH but I hadn't looked at it that way.
There were a few times Flintoff especially plays up the "big man" role but he did get a few bruises himself like when he was belted on the head coming out of the hearse but there is very little inside the head to do much damage. I can't see Chris allowing it to be broadcast if there was even a hint of bullying though, yes they wouldn't let either of the 2 Northerners drive anything quick as they do drive like 17 year olds just passed their tests and are both car wreckers. I think, a massive amount of people only watch Top Gear for the laughs and not the cars though, almost everyone I know does anyway. I will take onboard your critisisms and watch out for it now and try and view it in a different light. Then again being brought up in Knowle West he must be used to that sort of thing!

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 00:52:35 Words about things...
I've been catching up with Mr. Robot. It's stunning and brilliant television, and is perfect for the medium, it couldn't be a book or a film. It's also so overly done in everything it's also unbearable. It's hard to watch. It gives itself little breathing room, but when it does it's beautiful. Scene by scene, musical reference, shot by shot, the whole thing is fucking increadible, but there is almost too much. It's even better on a second watch. So much stuff you find out in twisty twists later are completely seeable in the way things are shot and edited. Add that with the unreliable naration (best I've seen it done in telly) combined with the breaking the 4th wall. It's a mad brilliant (but fairly consistent) mess which almost has too many layers for its own good. It's worth a few re-watches just to get to terms with watching how well shot and edited it is. There's a dance in it between the cinematography and the story which can make it hard to watch, but when t0he former is given some breathing room it's brilliant. It's just too deliberate in everything and becomes a bit busy. Too busy. I think it's amazing, flawed in some ways, but also a really good example of how telly is a different medium than film, and should try to be different.

Kano and Dave gave incredible performances as Sully and Moldie, two grime MC's that have turned out to be great actors too. It was decent enough as a straight gangster story, and it was lacking in lots of ways too. Too many unlikeable characters, even though DuShane is supposedly a too bad gangster with morals.....my fucking arse. Ridiculous situations like with the supplier who would have been so far removed from street level violence, or would have run a mile at the first sniff of trouble. Or DuShane somehow solving problems after things have gone terribly wrong, rather than beforehand. And almost all the white people are bad(so are the black people but they aren't one dimensional so there's more sympathy) They even did a close-up of the handshake with the white teacher to make the point of the contrast between them. Good black teacher, bad white teacher. Uncaring immigration workers, racists in the street, shitty looks in the shop. Then they decide they'd better put a couple of decent white people in, and it's the fucking police! Not saying there aren't issues of course, but they wasted their chances and made cheap points. Make the immigration issue about Windrush so it makes sense and is a statement, talk about living conditions and bring up Grenfell for instance. Maybe I was just expecting too much. Kano is a good actor. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: sir windon on Saturday, September 28, 2019, 00:51:33 ‘A Confession ‘. Chilling.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Friday, October 4, 2019, 14:45:30 I was just about old enough to remember seeing some of Spitting Image before they wrapped it up, and since then have wanted it back and thought it would be a really healthy thing for the country. New series! https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/sep/28/spitting-image-returns-chaotic-times-trump-putin-zuckerberg The writers/voice overs for Spitting Image were part of the team that created 2DTV. The politically charged, satirical animated series. In current terms it poked most of it's fun at George W Bush Jnr. Voices came from Jon Culshaw and suchlike. I don't know how old you are but feel we're a similar age, except I seem to remember watching a lot of Spitting Image "More peas Norma", as well as Hale & Pace and Bottom (amongst others). Maybe my parents were a bit more lax on how much comedy I saw? :) Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: suttonred on Friday, October 4, 2019, 15:01:57 Spitting image wasnt funny then and will be worse now. Imagine a latex carry on columbus.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Friday, October 4, 2019, 16:01:13 Spitting image wasnt funny then and will be worse now. Imagine a latex carry on columbus. I was watching it from the eyes of a c10 yr old. It was hilarious. In more current times, I think Bo' Selecta by Leigh Francis picked up the baton that Spitting Image left. Except that was more "celebrity based" than it was political. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: JBZ on Friday, October 4, 2019, 19:01:22 How could you not find Spitting Image funny as?
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Arriba on Saturday, October 5, 2019, 07:53:06 Finished "Top boy" yesterday. Dunno why some wanted to pick holes in it? I thought it was ace and look forward to the next series.

I know how it goes. I just made my own view on it. People can conclude what they like, I just don't agree in this instance with he negative. Like on every subject, people have differing opinions. A good thing..... Did you watch Top Boy: Summerhouse first? I did, years ago but to be honest pretty much forgot the plot etc. Why ask?

7 is a good score. I'd rate it much the same to be honest. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, October 22, 2019, 09:47:07 Still powering through It's Always Funny, on season 10 now. Fantastic show but my work Danny DeVito irritates the shit out of me.

Took me ages to accept its existence (really dumb) but it's great - got to series 7 where Will Ferrell has come in as D'Angelo Vickers. Bar the first season, which tries to hard to be like the original, it is superb. Very similar to Parks & Rec (same writers I believe) which is another great show! Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Wednesday, December 4, 2019, 17:30:05 Parks & Rec was amazing, I'd put that right up there with the best TV comedies ever.

I have watched a couple of episodes of The Morning Show which is looking good and Servant looks good, weird but good after the first episode, but you would expect that from the Director M Night Shangalang or whatever his name is. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, December 11, 2019, 10:30:36 M Night Shamalangadingdong has been a busted flush to me. films getting worse and worse.
would be good if he has hit some form. then again, no chance of me getting Apple TV Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, December 30, 2019, 10:11:20 Anyone watch the TopGear Christmas Special last night? I've said this before but did anyone else sense some real friction between Paddy and Chris?
Title: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, December 30, 2019, 10:13:20 nah, is it worth it? gave up when that ginger twat and Joey from friends did it
seems The Grand Tour has been budget cut too, only doing specials now. Though I enjoyed Seamen..... Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, December 30, 2019, 10:25:33 The Top Gear special wasn't bad, worth a watch, I think they all get on quite well, not quite the May, Hammond & Clarkson way but way better than anything that has come on Top Gear since those 3 left.
I didn't sense any friction between then at all, I thought they got on quite well TBH. Seamen on the other hand was quite a difficult watch at times, there was a lot of genuine problems with the weather etc, very good still though but not the "bundle of laughs" that it can be. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, December 30, 2019, 10:30:01 nah, is it worth it? gave up when that ginger twat and Joey from friends did it seems The Grand Tour has been budget cut too, only doing specials now.

For those who don't know its the return of Ralph Macchio and Will Zabka (Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence) from the original Karate Kid franchise 30 (odd) years on. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: pauld on Monday, January 6, 2020, 13:24:00 If you are into 'animal documentaries' By putting the quotes round it, you've kind of made it sound like bestiality porn.

Second episode was a bit meh in places, but overall a great watch from the LoG gents Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Monday, January 6, 2020, 13:24:46 So Christmas is over..
Worzel Gummidge was good, hated the original but this was good (very detectorists) and our young un loved it! Has also led to us watching all 3 series of Detectorists again on iPlayer. Dracula was OK, not sure what all the fuss was about but hey ho. Gavin and Stacey seemed little different which was nice.

The Mrs and I binge watched both series in 2 days last week. Yeah it's cheesy, but it's good cheesy. If you liked karate kid then I'd go as far as saying it's a must watch.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, 18:16:07 A good list of 20 documentaries to watch on YouTube, they range from around 20 minutes to a couple of hours long.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, 22:40:47 it's kind of a more gentle comedy. I avoided it for ages, but really liked it.

Is definitely his suited role as a vigilante/antii-establishment character. A long road away from a cameo in Night at The Museum as Al Capone!
Shame Netflix pulled it though. As with several decent shows on there, they seem to be more interested in renewing some of the rubbish reality programs on there. They have a place of course but does that many people want to see "My Best Friend Lost Her Anus, then Grew It Back Again: Revisited"...I'm not sure...I think I'd take ount on an NOS over that any day!

Britannia II - Watched this but don't know why! Must just be in a Mackenzie Crook mood. He was really good in the first series as Verun, but the whole thing is just a bit weird! Jett - Watched the first episode on a recommendation of a friend. Found it difficult to get into, but the twist at the end has got me hooked. Going to move onto this now. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Richie Wellen-Dowd on Thursday, January 30, 2020, 12:53:05 Yes, very good. I concur, really enjoyed it. A better British gangster they could have found, but you can't have everything. Rodney was a great character.

Was predictable in an enjoyable way. Shearsmith and Pemberton were on fine form. Wasn't overly fussed with Ralph Little, although nice to leave you wondering if he did "dob 'em in".

Very interesting insight into politics accross Europe and their take on the whole EU. Shocking and disturbing at times but very interesting.

I loved both of those, but I have now just started watching Locke & Key on Netflix, it is dark, weird and a bit creepy. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Thursday, February 20, 2020, 08:21:23 Watched the David Baddiel programme on denying the Holocaust. Started watching it with the wife and she couldn't last past 5 minutes. I made it to 55 minutes or so before it really got to me (seeing Rachel show the photograph and tell the story of her family fucked me up). But a gripping watch nonetheless. Highly recommend.

Loads of drama that you wouldn't see otherwise, loads of stuff you don't even think about... give it a go!

First series was excellent, I'd recommend watching it even if you're not an F1 fan, or even a Motorsport fan. Loads of drama that you wouldn't see otherwise, loads of stuff you don't even think about... give it a go! My sis dated an F3 driver some years ago and even from the things we saw, there is a lot of stuff going on, even at that level. He was so close to becoming an F1 driver, money (from sponsorship) was the snag. He was teammates with Andy Priaulx and raced alongside Takuma Sato & Anthony Davidson. Basically he nearly signed for what was Jaguar (but was going to become) Red Bull at the time and would've been teammates with Mark Webber. I'll check out D2S, cheers. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Sippo on Friday, February 28, 2020, 12:02:08 Found The stranger a bit meh. Was ok, watchable but not really addictive. Bit unrealistic I thought. Wife liked it though.
Half way watching Tony Robbins I am not your Guru. Starts slowly but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Need to watch Narcos Mexico new series and Better call Saul new series. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, February 28, 2020, 12:09:09 Yeah will watch Better call Saul this weekend, the first series was excellent, the 2nd was poor but the last series was the best so far for me.

Google brings up the name of Matthew Davies? :P Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Friday, February 28, 2020, 16:47:16 Google brings up the name of Matthew Davies? :P Not Matt Davies although he was/is a nice guy. My sisters ex though, prior to the Red Bull buy out of Jaguar, Red Bull placed him in the Telefonica Nissan Series (think that was the name of it). Where he teamed up with Bas Leinders at KTR. Who having seen race was a pretty respectable driver, so it was a great match up for the end of that season, for him. I think he did another year in the Telefonica, then did a lot of testing as Red Bull were then looking to become an F1 team outright. As all that came to the fore, plans were for Gerhard Berger and to convince Eddie Irvine back into F1, to be No.1 and No.2 drivers respectfully. My sisters ex was set to be driver No.3/Tester. In the end they went with David Coulthard as the experienced pro, Christian Klein got the No.2 spot (possibly due to being a little more experienced and being Austrian) but No.3 went to Scott Speed. The rest, is history and he headed back to the States I think. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, March 4, 2020, 13:10:25 Good News: Spitting image is back in the autumn

Also started watching something on Netflix called "The Rain". It Danish dubbed into English which is slightly annoying but again, i'm getting into it. Think Stranger Things mixed with The Walking Dead i guess. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, 15:33:23 Come late to Homeland.

White Gold: Brilliant comedy and worth a watch. The Rain (Danish but dubbed in English) The dubbing is a little annoying but decent story line think, Stranger Things mixed with The Waking Dead and Resident Evil. Cockblockers (film): Not terrible, few laughs, only had it on whilst working. On My Block: Only a few episodes in and i'm not too sure yet.

Testees was available on Youtube for a while, it is very funny IMO. Not many other comedies to recommend though other thant he obvious ones which we have all watched like My name is Earl etc and they are all very long in the tooth now.

Not going to bother with the added 5th Season as they should never have made it, but still easily in my Top 5 TV series. I just noticed Community on Netflix so will give that a crack next.

I love Breaking Bad myself and think its up there with the best TV I have ever seen, but its wierd how some people love some shows and others almost hate them.I cannot for the life of me see what people see in Killing Eve, I did series 1 and it bored me with awful acting and weak plot so I won't try series 2.

You're spot on, and i also think theres a change in perspective when watching something live, as is a new episode week by week over something that you have to power through 9 seasons of.

Oh god yeah I agree, the thought if sitting down watching 315 series of Game of Thrones repulses me even though it may actually be interesting, we did series one and came away from Sky so never bothered watching series 2, now there is enough series to fill the rest of my tv watching life! and I would rather watch 10 different series.There are shows that are "amazing" which i'll probably never watch because of the sheer length of them. A film I found a while ago which my daughter told me to watch on Amazon Prime (not an opinion I normally take onboard) but actually I loved in a wierd way was the "teen horror" film "Odd Thomas" which was wierd but very moving. Not a genre that a 54 year old man would normally watch but I very much enjoyed it, watched it again yesterday and still had me in tears at the end. Big old wuss that I am!

I think 'technically' is the key word - Lost was characterised by ridiuclous and unbelievable story lines one after the other.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: JBZ on Tuesday, April 28, 2020, 23:45:18 Watched the second series of After Life this evening.
I would echo previous comments regarding the Paul Kaye character. Also (and I suspect that I am in a minority) I enjoyed series 1 a lot more than this one. It left me feeling a bit meh. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Mr Stevens on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, 07:25:52 I was really looking forward to the second series of After Life but was also hugely disappointed.
The psychologist was beyond ridiculous. As soon as those scenes started, I wanted them to be over. I am also a huge supporter of bad language but certain words can be heavily overused. I thought series 1 was outstanding but I get the impression that.writers of certain shows (this and Gavin & Stacey for example) forgot what made them good in the first place and they no longer made the effort. I was once told by a colleague of Rory Bremner (jokingly I might add) that if Rory blows his nose, they should make a series about it. My point is that some people, Ricky Gervais and James Corden for example, don't always seem to put the effort in that they should and take their popularity a little for granted.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, 10:11:09 Afterlife was written, directed, produced and starred Ricky Gervais? And i think that's why i was not too fussed about watching it. I loved the Office, but anything after that, (Extra's, Derek, etc) i found really cringe and unwatchable. Yes it had it's flaws, as mentioned, but there was something beautifully somber about Afterlife. I've struggled with my mental health recently and i could really sympathies with both Tony and later on Matt. Its hard to explain, but it almost helped me realise that i don't want to end up like Tony.

I loved the Office, but anything after that, (Extra's, Derek, etc) i found really cringe and unwatchable. This.Yes it had it's flaws, as mentioned, but there was something beautifully somber about Afterlife. I've struggled with my mental health recently and i could really sympathies with both Tony and later on Matt. Its hard to explain, but it almost helped me realise that i don't want to end up like Tony. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, 10:21:41 Extras is superb!
Derek wasn't really a comedy, more a drama/social commentary with a little comedy added. Watching the series it was clear to me that Gervais has extensive experience of a care home setting, and the purpose of the series was I think mostly to highlight what wonderful places they are, and what wonderful people work in them. Overall it was much more sombre and poignant than anything he had done before. That said I find the main character far too fictional and a bit annoying. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Mr Stevens on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, 10:50:47 Afterlife was written, directed, produced and starred Ricky Gervais? I used the James Corden example because I was a bit disappointed with the Christmas edition of Gavin & Stacey. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: 4D on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, 19:54:53 Just started watching Sneaky Pete
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, April 30, 2020, 08:26:41 Still powering through Community, really enjoying it. Mainly for Alison Brie. She's dreamy.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, April 30, 2020, 08:31:00 Watched nearly all of season 1 of After Life yesterday (things are getting desperate) despite the somewhat wonky writing (he desperately needs an editor/collaborator) and Ricky Gervais playing Ricky Gervais, as he always does, it was surprisingly good.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Thursday, April 30, 2020, 08:55:57 That last episode of Series 2 was a tough watch. Be interesting to know how Gervais got such a good handle on personal grief.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Thursday, April 30, 2020, 09:05:34 I began watching Gangs of London last night. Really good.

(sorry if its already been talked about).
It is a tough as anything challenge. I thought the bit at the end with Fash was an eye-opener, I hadn't realised his demons with his brother, really moving TV I thought.

Will Never forget the golden period of American comedy about 8-9 years ago, where you had new episodes of community, the office, parks and Rec, it’s always sunny and workaholics every week. I’m sure they weren’t all scheduled at the same time, but it felt like it. Perfectly aligned to my uni years Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Friday, May 1, 2020, 23:34:24 Did anyone watch/watching Twin? Norwegian mystery drama with Kristofer Hivju (bloke who played Tormund in GoT). I've found it fairly good.
Cinematography is bloody lovely at times and is certainly helped by the gorgeous Nordic backdrops but I've found this series good enough that your eye doesn't end up wandering off to the Fjords. There is a very convincing set of stories that all contribute to the main plot. The guy who plays the copper Frank, who no one wants to believe or listen to is a pretty good actor, as is the daughter of the the main protagonist. Anyway, I thought it was pretty good. If you're not a fan of subtitled pictures though, then it'll likely not be for you. Shame though because it is worth a watch. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Arriba on Sunday, May 3, 2020, 21:39:25 Binged Gangs Of London yesterday/today. Enjoyed it but fuck me it was hard to follow at times as it was proper all over the place I thought.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: suttonred on Monday, May 4, 2020, 06:34:37 In my skin on Iplayer is very good. About a south wales schoolgirl with a sectioned Mum and an alcoholic hells angel dad. It's sort of advertised as a comedy, it isn't, but very watchable.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Monday, May 4, 2020, 09:59:37 Watched the first 3 episodes of Upload on Amazon last night, its kept me interested for three episodes so must be OK!
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, May 4, 2020, 14:49:50 Never been a fan of sport documentaries. The Man City Amazon one never really interested me or non of the others but i've been watching "The Last Dance" on Netflix and its been brilliant. Even if you are not a Basketball fan, this is worth watching. It basically tells the story of Michael Jordan and his rise to stardom with the Chicago Bulls. It also follows some of his team mates such as Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, May 4, 2020, 15:06:22 I've started watching don't fuck with cats. I'm well behind other people but it looks like its going to be properly interesting.

It really is a good watch, like you said it is about the whole team but does have a Michael Jordan centre to it, i found the interviews with Phil Jackson and the GM really interesting as well.It was really interesting showing the Scottie Pippen situation as well, that would never happen now. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, May 4, 2020, 15:50:02 It really is a good watch, like you said it is about the whole team but does have a Michael Jordan centre to it, i found the interviews with Phil Jackson and the GM really interesting as well. I think as a whole it shows what merchandising and sponsorship can do to the popularity of a team/player. It was really interesting showing the Scottie Pippen situation as well, that would never happen now. Not a lot of people know that the Bulls success only lasted 8 or so years, before them there was the Celtics, Lakers and Pistons who had equally a talented players in Magic Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar (not really mentioned), Larry Bird, Dennis Rodman to name a few. After that you had the Lakers again with the emergence of Kobe Bryan and Big Shaq. Infact, when it comes to number of championships, Celtics and Lakers are streets ahead of the Bulls It's pretty much down to the Nike/Air Jordans colab that really paved the way for Michael Jordan to rise to the top of greatness and for Chicago Bulls to become one of the most popular teams in NBA history. I read somewhere that MJ has a net worth of over $2bn yet only earned around $100m playing basketball. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, May 6, 2020, 08:07:50 Whilst waiting for the next episode of "The Last Dance" i thought i'd give "Man City, All or Nothing" a go. Once again, really enjoying i and a great insight into the cogs of a football club. Also giving me a little bit of a football fix.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Wednesday, May 6, 2020, 10:11:44 I’ve enjoyed all the series. 6 was a bit of a slow burner - more intrigue than action - but it’s building up well.
Dar Adal looks just like I imagine an earthbound Satan to look.

If you have enjoyed up to season 6, you will enjoy the rest of your viewing to completion for sure. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Wednesday, May 6, 2020, 12:45:11 For me the later series never got close to the Brodie years, entertaining although pretty unbelievable storyline.
Having said that the last series was very good I thought Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Arriba on Thursday, May 7, 2020, 12:21:58 Normal people. Disappointing. Stuck with it but wasn't worth it.

I think it’s more a negative on my part from binge watching, when you watch 5/6/7 episodes a day, you notice the repetitiveness of some story lines that you probably wouldn’t if you only watched a couple of episodes a week. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Friday, May 8, 2020, 11:56:50 There was also at least one plotline every series in which she should have been fired or imprisoned.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Sunday, May 10, 2020, 00:25:21 Finished all 9 episodes of Gangs of London. Some really great scenes and lots of tense and gory moments, but I found a few of the main actors' performances unconvincing and got a bit lost in the plot at times. Would be interested to hear what others think of it. I downloaded it as it's only on Sky Atlantic at the moment I think.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Ginginho on Sunday, May 10, 2020, 05:24:34 I watched the first episode and found it a bit shit to be honest. Violence for violence sake and the little ginger lad as the main character is hard to take seriously.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Panda Paws on Sunday, May 10, 2020, 07:50:56 It has potential but ultimately was a bit crap. The scene in Ireland with the hit squad was laughable.

Violence for violence sake and the little ginger lad as the main character is hard to take seriously. Agreed, he was terrible and his performance amounted to an expressionless face or squinty eyes to show suspicion/anger/confusion, and nothing else. I thought the main copper, played by Sope Dirisu, and the Albanian gang lord were great in their roles. But the Dad of the mayor another terrible casting.

John Singleton is a bit of an enigma, made one completely seminal piece of work, then the rest of his career's work makes you wonder how the hell he managed it.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, May 28, 2020, 12:25:31 yeah I agree with what Chubbs said, its fairly slow but really interesting.

Any more recommendations for US Comedy shows. I might give Parks and Recs another go, 3rd time lucky. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Monday, June 1, 2020, 08:45:20 Anyone watched Space Force on netflix yet? Any good?

***spoilers below*** Elliot killed Cole, but nobody seemed bothered about Elliot being there. Next to nothing was said. It was briefly mentioned and then brushed over. Maybe Ed sent him, but why was Sean not wondering what the fuck was going on?

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Sunday, July 5, 2020, 21:11:43 Just finished The Luminaries on iPlayer, now that made my head hurt! Watched an episode just now on BBC. The pacing is all over the place. There is some good acting but whilst entirely shot in NZ (and it looks as stunning as the Norwegian shot, Twin), a screenplay written by Kiwi Eleanor Catton and starring five NZ actors, I'd have thought there would be at least a sniff of a decent Kiwi accent. Not a fucking sausage. That could be forgiven but whatever some of the accents are supposed to be, some are about as consistent as the pacing. On one viewing 5/10. I still say for a combination of great backdrops, decent story and well acted mystery thriller. Twin really is worth watching. Kristofer Hivju is brilliant but then I didn't expect any less.

I'm thinking of starting from the beginning and going all the way through to see how I view it through modern eyes. I think by series 3 the whole Brody thing was getting a tad stale, his seeming flip-flopping in allegiances etc. I do miss Morena Baccarin though! Carrie's MH is an interesting device. It's such a large part of her personality (or rather, her battle with it is) but I can see that it becomes a little bit easy to rely on it for something else to happen/add pressure/turn the storyline. I did like the idea of the ISI trying to exploit that though. Fucking hate that Tasneem bitch! Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: OOH!

Excellent programme, such talented people. Ditto, along with Salvage Hunters, though the latter has a characteristic element of Storage Wars ALA Jarrod & Brandy. The spin off Salvage Hunters (The Restorers) is closer to The Repair Shop without the tear jerking back stories. All good stuff though.

I've found myself restarting Superstore more recently again too. I think the manager Glenn has classic "Brentism" with more geek and softness thrown in, and there's a good moral line in most episodes. He often shows compassion and a naive positivity that would usually dissipate with age. Despite all this he is a fairly rubbish manager. I don't think the show tries too hard to be cool or funny and doesn't force a gag too much either, like say in something like Two & A Half Men. Superstore is worth a watch for some "easier" viewing.

The way he was treated at the world cup though was shocking.

Is he for real or a con man? Glad they shelved a second series. Finished very nicely. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: bigbobjoylove on Saturday, August 29, 2020, 13:45:04 Loving Cobra Kai on Netflix. Brilliant bit of updated nostalgia.

Lovely, makes me want to pick up a rod again after 30+ years. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Arriba on Thursday, September 3, 2020, 19:32:52 Good girls on Netflix is excellent. The Mrs put it on and I got into it pretty quickly. Definitely worth a look.
Enjoying the spurs docu on Amazon too. Can't binge it though so that sucks.

Is Netflix any good as thinking of ditching BT TV & Spott and whatnot do you pay a month for it Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Thursday, September 3, 2020, 21:56:09 Is Netflix any good as thinking of ditching BT TV & Spott and whatnot do you pay a month for it Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ are all under a tenner a month and if you're into some classics as well plenty of original content, then they all cover it in varying ways. Plus you can pick and choose what you watch, your own library of movies, series and docs. Plus if you're going away or travelling and won't be getting wifi or want to hammer data, then you can download a load of stuff beforehand and watch them "offline". I've found it great when on flights that don't have wifi and don't really fancy watching a poorly dubbed version of A Few Good Men :D Of course the flying thing is a bit moot for many atm but it's just one of those things that help, even as back up if your tinters went down.

Yeah if you wanted I guess, you could have all three and as you say, cancel one or two for a month and no obligation to go back. Most of them offer a free month as well. I think with Disney+ you can get it free or £2 per month for 6 months if you're an o2 customer. There could be a hack though, that allows anyone to get the offer (another story). In short - yep :) Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Thursday, September 3, 2020, 22:09:39 Yeah if you wanted I guess, you could have all three and as you say, cancel one or two for a month and no obligation to go back.

Netflix has really good shows and documentaries but their movies aren't great but Amazon Prime is really good for movies and have some great shows on there but nowhere near as good a range as Netflix. I only had Disney+ for the Mandalorian so can't comment on anything else. I also got Apple TV for a year free with my new iPad and that has some great stuff on it but I wouldn't recommend buying it for more than a month, that should be plenty of time to binge watch the best stuff.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Arriba on Friday, September 4, 2020, 13:02:38 If I was picking 1 then Netflix would be my choice. Between my kids subs I use, i have them all and Netflix wins hands down in my opinion. To be fair Amazon does have some food content too and if you shop there then it's worth having. £79 a year is good value.

Netflix has way more content available for free (after the subscription payment) than does Amazon.We only have Amazon Prime so that my wife, who is an avid reader, can get free books for her kindle and we get free delivery from Amazon on Prime. If it was a choice between the 2 then Netflix would win 100% of the time, thats not saying there isn't good things on Prime but not the quantity and not all are included in the subs cost.

"Next Goal Wins" the documantary about the American Samoa team that got beaten 31-0 by Australia and had never won an international game. Basically they get in an experiences Dutch/American coach to try to sort them out. It is such a moving documentary, real tug at the heart strings of any supporter of a crap team. Actually brings a tear to the eye. Well worth watching. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: tans on Tuesday, September 29, 2020, 13:51:05 Good documentary that is

Reminds me very much of the Norway set Twin, in that we get beautiful cinematography coupled with gorgeous backdrops. Yet this doesn't take away from some great acting and convincing roles.

Also Industry on the beeb. Two eps in, not sure about it but will persist. And I've also picked up a weird obsession for US custom car shows - Rust Valley Restorers and Rust To Riches (both Netflix) are brilliantly shit. Binged all of them in about a week.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Legends-Lounge on Monday, January 4, 2021, 16:11:31 I know I am criminally late to the show so to speak but our neighbours have gotten us into ‘Benidorm’ recently. Under normal circumstances it is not something we’d watch, hence why we’re so far behind the loop. That said for years Benidorm and other resorts were open to ridicule as to the style of holiday maker that went there. Predicable, cringeworthy in the main amusing, in parts funny. Oh and an array of well know actors to does add to the show.

Missus loved it. I said the same as you. The last two eps were good, but it was so slow and turgid to get there. Should have been a 3 parter, tops. Seeing this a lot at the moment, particularly with OTT providers like Netflix. There's no limit on air time, so pretty much everything is too long. Started Designated Survivor at the weekend. Hilariously bad, but brilliant at the same time. So watchable. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Arriba on Thursday, January 14, 2021, 10:32:41 Haha.

Probably the same people who moan about being bored during 'lockdown'
I personally don't mind these things being dragged out, we've just finished the fifth episode and have thoroughly enjoyed it. JC is good and very easy on the eye but I'm not sure how I feel about the main actor, if he's that convincing as a 'baddie' or not.

That was another thing, the idea seemed to be that he was very charismatic to charm all these people into trusting him etc etc, the actor seems to have all the charisma of a wet fish. My missus will watch just about anything and even this saw her off, towards the end the main topic of debate was about the actors hair/wig.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Friday, January 29, 2021, 22:41:23 Half way through this. It's brilliant. Yep, not wanting to binge it so watching per week. Just watched E2. Colin is probably the best yet lightly used character. I personally love the way the whole thing is shot and the vibe of not only the growing stigma but also the difference of opinion between the same circles as AIDS starts to take hold. There are similarities with attitudes towards Covid-19 currently, another invisible killer and I feel like Russell T. Davies has not only written this to highlight the very "Philadelphia" like attitudes but as a stark reminder of how our species can be ignorant to invisible threats until it's too late. One further point, he recently defended his comment regarding only gay people should play gay roles; something that I initially disagreed with, especially if extended to all roles (like male not being able to lay a female or vice versa). However he clarified that what he really meant was that, where there was an opportunity for people to play roles specific to their experiences then they should be able to and that in the industry at present that doesn't always happen. It was more an attack on the industry rather than on any actors that have portrayed roles different to their background. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, February 4, 2021, 11:55:44 Watched "The Dig" on Netflix yesterday.
Very gentle film about the discovery of the Sutton Hoo Hoard in 1938, a few famous faces in it like Ralph Fiennes and Ken Stott. A decent way of passing 2 hours even though they should have made more of what they actually discovered in the hoard than just the boat. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Miles Mayhem on Thursday, February 4, 2021, 12:54:44 Half way through this. It's brilliant. It’s a sin must have been one of the best dramas I have seen in years but glad it finished on the 5th episode as not sure I could have managed any more. I can’t remember the last time a programme brought me to tears but this one had them rolling down my cheeks with the beach scene. Utterly moving.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, 14:02:15 I watched the Disappearance at the Cecil Hotel on Netflix over the weekend, it was really good in the way it was made. Really enjoyed the first 2 eps then the 3rd ep when the foil hat brigade were out in force it ruined it for me. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: jutty274 on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, 15:52:55 Really enjoyed the first 2 eps then the 3rd ep when then foil had brigade were out in force it ruined it for me. it is worth watching the last episode as it really throws a spanner in the works to all the other episodes, but i do agree that the 3rd one was a bit weird. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, February 17, 2021, 14:19:25 I am watching the real CSI on BBC2. Last night, it was the investigation of a 15 year old stabbed 16 times by 3 15 year olds. It's such a shame that 4 kids have lost their youth. They found the culprits via a trainer mark on the victims coat. It was so interesting.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Chubbs on Friday, February 19, 2021, 12:28:15 Not really sure if this goes on TV or Films but i watched a WWE (WWF) documentary called Beyond the Mat. It was release 20+ years ago so right when i was a huge Wrestling nut and I knew about the documentary but just never got around to watching it.
Back then 90's and early 00's, there was no social media, so the personal lives of wrestlers were virtually unknown. To the 10 year old me, who they were in the ring was who they were in real life. We didn't know their real names, we didn't know their family or their friends and that's what made it "real". This documentary was really the first behind the scenes look at the WWE following the likes of Vince McMahon but focusing predominantly on 3 wrestlers. Jake the Snake Roberts, Mick Foley and Terry Funk. Every kid heard the "wrestling is fake" speech growing up and yes, its no secret that the moves and conclusion of matched and planned and pre-determined, the punches and kicks and not full blown, but i've never been under any illusion that the injuries and damage these guys take to their bodies is life changing. After all, how can you "fake" falling/jumping 20,30,40 ft onto your back. Yes, you can train how to do this as safely as possible (bumps) but its still dangerous. Anyway, that aside, what really hit me with this is not the affect it has on ones body, i already knew this but the affect it has on someone's family life. Wrestlers were working 7 days a week, sometimes month on end, flying state to state and eventually this would take it toll, Jake the snake Roberts went on to say how he would have to take sleeping pills with alcohol to go to sleep, and then take cocaine before a match to wake him up and give him that buzz to put on a show. It just just a vicious cycle which took him from WWF super stardom to wrestling in someone's back yard for $25 and some coke to 50 people. With Mick Foley, he had a more settled life. Behind his many personas, he was a well educated, down to earth guy with a wife and two young children. But try telling a 6 year old that when daddy comes home with a 3 inch gash in his for head or multiple broken bones that the man who did it isn't really hurting daddy. There was one scene where his wife and kids were at one of his biggest shows. A match against The Rock where the rock would proceed to hit Foley around the head with about 6-8 chair shots leaving him downed in blood, all the while the cameras were focused on his family literally in tears to the extent where they had to leave, whilst 60,000 other people were cheering and begging for more. I think i've let my innter bamboo out here but anyways, for something that is considered "fake", a lot of people don't really understand the sacrifices to their bodies and personal lives wrestlers have to make for the sake of entertainment. Its currently on Netflix and well worth a watch. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: jutty274 on Friday, February 19, 2021, 12:37:43 I watched that years ago Chubbs and it is shocking, the things that they do just to get through a fight.
The part about Jake the Snake gives some real insight into how you see some of these wrestlers dying at a young age, how he is still alive i really don't know. like you said it is worth watching even if you're not a wrestling fan. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Friday, February 19, 2021, 12:47:00 thanks for the tip Chubbs.
The amount of wrestlers that have died too young is staggering. Steroid advise I guess like you say, fake it may be, but the athleticism is still remarkable Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: 4D on Saturday, February 20, 2021, 09:41:22 Watched season one of Lupin.

I binge watched that last weekend. Agree that KC was good in it. I would describe it as quite quirky, but very entertaining and watchable. There was a decent story in the middle of it, but it was almost as if they started with a story that had a definite ending and then added stuff to enable it to go off in multiple directions for a second and possibly 3rd season.Kaley Cuoco is actually pretty good in it.

Really good but I didn't like the mystical beast aspect of it. Seems right up my street and inline with a plot a bit like The Thing (80s version). If it matches John Carpenter classic levels of suspense and the fear of the unknown then I'll enjoy it. Is it quite suspenseful or is it "too" obvious?

Going to watch it the old fashioned way. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Shrivvy Road on Monday, June 7, 2021, 19:50:08 Stephen Graham is such a good actor isn’t he?

Certainly shows prison in a accurate wayTitle: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, 16:14:54 A general life rule to apply is if Stephen Graham is in something it’s almost certain to be a good watch
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Ginginho on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, 20:29:06 Ooh, i've got Time recorded to watch at some point.
Agree, anything with Stephen Graham in is worth watching. Most recently Line Of Duty and especially This Is England, which was just brilliant. Don't think i've ever seen Sean Bean in anything I didn't enjoy either (even when Saturday Comes), so i'm expecting big things from Time. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Sippo on Thursday, June 10, 2021, 21:32:00 Time is ok. Watchable. Realistic? Not sure.
It’s ok for three episodes. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Monday, June 14, 2021, 09:59:03 Time - Episode 2: I thought it might go in a slightly different direction. I guess it is set up nicely for the concluding episode.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Shrivvy Road on Monday, June 14, 2021, 10:20:01 Time is ok. Watchable. Realistic? Not sure. Probably one of the most realistic things i have ever seen on TV about british prisons tbhIt’s ok for three episodes. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Monday, June 14, 2021, 10:22:49 Time is ok. Watchable. Realistic? Not sure. It’s ok for three episodes. I think that's it, the norm seems to have become to drag such stories out for 8-10 hour long episodes and the storylines tend not to be able to sustain this so the things just get boring. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Monday, June 14, 2021, 10:36:37 And you know with Sean Bean that he isn't interested in reprising characters.

I love it Series four took a pretty Psychotic turn.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Monday, July 5, 2021, 10:25:30 just finished Mayer of Easttown.
pretty good. but the first episode is very slow. A kind of Twin Peaks without the weird shit. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, July 5, 2021, 10:30:08 just finished Mayer of Easttown. pretty good. but the first episode is very slow. A kind of Twin Peaks without the weird shit. I enjoyed it. One of the better things I've seen this year. It does start slow but does pick up the pace. It has been a while since I have seen Mike from Neighbours as well!

I then saw the characters on iPlayer and Vimes, Carrot, Sybil and Cheery Littlebottom don't look anything like how I pictured them in my mind! ???Edit: Richard Dormer as Vimes I can see (although I pictured him as Clint Eastwood) Sybil I had as Angela Lansbury or Hattie Jacques Cheery I had as one of the dwarves in Lord of the Rings (with a big beard) Carrot I had as Arnie with long blonde hair Peter Kaye would be my idea of Dibbler Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: penhillbilly on Monday, July 5, 2021, 11:13:47 Saw your recommendation and thought 'Brilliant!' as I hadn't heard that the they had dramatised the books.

Pratchett's daughter and old assistanty estate guy both distanced themselves from it a bit I think? Not a great record of televising his work, Good Omans was ok. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: penhillbilly on Monday, July 5, 2021, 11:43:40 Agree Ben,wasn't too sure when it started,but was worth sticking with if you don't try to compare to the books too much and just want some light entertainment.
Agree about Good Omens though. :) Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Monday, July 5, 2021, 12:18:22 I put the Good Omens thing down to Neil Gaiman rather than Pratchett.
Can't have The (Night)Watch without Nobby Nobbs (Baldrick) and Colon (Timothy Spall). I think that is why some of Pratchett's stuff doesnt work on TV - He took things he saw including existing characters and placed them in his Discworld. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nemo on Monday, July 5, 2021, 12:20:30 Yeah the online Pratchetty folks seem to really not like The Watch, it does seem to have changed a lot gratuitously. Some good actors involved though.
Good Omens was very fun when it was Sheen & Tennant and very dull when it was any other characters. Hopefully the second series will ditch all the human sidelines and just be a buddy cop series with those two. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: flammableBen on Monday, July 5, 2021, 12:56:30 I think so much of Pratchett's work (especially Watch and Witch) is about the narrative inside characters heads - and in the case of Granny and Vimes - them being aware of the narrative inside there heads and the affect it has on their actions, like a cognitive behavior narrative. Doesn't translate well to screen.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: penhillbilly on Monday, July 5, 2021, 13:07:06 Agree with all the above,as i said,as light entertainment twas worth a Watch... :D

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, July 5, 2021, 13:31:00 Watched High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule.... Hmmmmm strange watch. I was reading about that on the BBC website today. Might give that a go, it sounds interesting. On the documentary front, there is one on BBC about a new DA in Philadelphia which looks like it might be worth a watch. I do like my docs! Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Monday, July 5, 2021, 14:02:12 Agree with all the above,as i said,as light entertainment twas worth a Watch... :D Just watched episode 1 while ironing ..Jesus!Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Monday, July 5, 2021, 15:00:02 I think so much of Pratchett's work (especially Watch and Witch) is about the narrative inside characters heads - and in the case of Granny and Vimes - them being aware of the narrative inside their heads and the effect it has on their actions, like a cognitive behavior narrative. Doesn't translate well to screen. Yet Mitchell & Webb did this quite well with Peep Show. Not on the same level of writing as Pratchett (granted) but managed to convey inner thoughts/actions onto screen successfully. It possibly only really works though if the viewer understands differences between having/not having an inner monologue/narrative. Some people just don't think either/it exists. We can most likely add The Mighty Boosh to this too as well as many more. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Monday, July 5, 2021, 19:49:17 Yet Mitchell & Webb did this quite well with Peep Show.

I never said it was. I was stating that Mitchell & Webb conveyed the written work onto screen well. I've never done a table read of Peep Show but I'm sure the cast were pretty excited (M&W in the main) when they did the first one. Especially how they could bring those inner monologues into the show and make them believable (yes even in a comedic sense) to the viewer.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Posh Red on Tuesday, July 6, 2021, 08:12:41 Watched the first two episodes of Mare of Easttown last night, have to agree it’s looking good so far.
The Americans seem to have got these mini-series so right now, especially now that they have proper a-list movie stars in them. True Detective (the first series in particular) & Big Little Lies another two examples. City on the Hill was also pretty good, although I haven’t watched series 2 yet Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Quagmire on Tuesday, July 6, 2021, 08:20:58 Season 7 of Bosch. Superb stuff.

I get what you mean. The odd thing was that I watched because I knew the characters and didn't like it when the characters weren't right...Begrudgingly enjoyed bits. Was a bit too much like 'Legends of Tomorrow' in parts i don't think anyone could portrait Discworld in tv/film,as it's all down to the readers imagination,as Ben said. :) Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, July 9, 2021, 08:35:30 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-57317470

I doubt he'll ever anything near that good again, the specific set of circumstances help make it what it is. As a warning, I watched it twice and then listened to it a few times while working.

It is pretty good. You can change audio and subtitle settings easily. I find dubbed audio horrific personally, I don't think I could watch it even if I couldn't keep up with subtitles. Edit: forgot to say, the reason the audio is so different from the subtitles is that they now specifically try to match the audio to the lip movements. It seems to work as shows like Squid Game probably wouldn't be quite so popular worldwide without it.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Wobbly Bob on Tuesday, December 28, 2021, 14:52:42 Enjoying the final series of Gomorrah.
See Naples and die. Indeed. American Rust is also pretty good. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, 21:56:51 Recently binged The Cockfields (oh err) on Sky, utterly utterly delightful comedy written and starring Joe Wilkinson.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Quagmire on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, 22:17:44 Really recommend Stay Close on Netflix with Cush Jumbo, Jimmy Nesbitt, Sarah Parish, Eddie Izzard and Richard Armitage.
Superb TV - 8 episodes it is. I watched them all back to back on Sunday! Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: 4D on Wednesday, January 5, 2022, 01:52:34 On my list Quag. Written by the writer of The Stranger, which I enjoyed.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, January 5, 2022, 08:54:57 Watched the 3 part drama Four Lives on the Iplayer last night. I was only vaguely aware of the story and it was very much a huge eye opener. One of those ones that make you sad and angry in equal measures.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Quagmire on Wednesday, January 5, 2022, 09:22:13 On my list Quag. Written by the writer of The Stranger, which I enjoyed.

I know there are a lot of anti-LFC on here so not expecting too many to agree with me, but everyone who goes to football games should be interested really as it should be an eye opener to anyone who doesn't know what went on that day. Even though it happened to LFC, it really is a football history thing first and foremost.

For shame, my first thought was the scouse fans were to blame again. It was probably that sort of reaction the police were relying on to help cover it up. Was listening to the radio as we played Watford. The guy on the radio said at the time that Liverpool fans were invading the pitch, so no surprise that the OB on the pitch thought the same. It took a while for the radio to understand that wasn't the case. For anyone that went to Luton in the Simon Cup, you can understand how that could happen, the saving grace there was that people were entering the terrace from the side rather than the back.

onto stay close now. so far so good Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Mr Stevens on Monday, January 17, 2022, 16:40:10 Finished The Detectorists on Thursday. Not the ending I was expecting but IMHO left the door open for more. Did enjoy it in a slightly cringing way. On New Years Day, the BBC showed Season 3 after midnight. I watched them all again for the umpteenth time as it is my favourite comedy. No real anger, except some hostility towards the Dirtsharks, and Toby Jones is outstanding. Highly recommended to anyone who hasn't seen it and it was on the iPlayer last time I checked.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Berniman on Thursday, February 10, 2022, 10:57:51 For anyone that has read the Reacher books (i have read them all and am a fan) the series on Prime is much more aligned to the books and much better than the films. Granted I am only 3 or 4 episodes in, but the guy playing Reacher is much more believable as the character (albeit younger than the character in the book). From the get go they got his size and stature right compared to casting 5ft nothing Tom Cruise for the film role.
Being a fan of the books, I am really enjoying it so far - The series is the first book in the series and has already been renewed for season 2. Looking forward to the rest of it and the next one..

Just read one book and you get that he is a massive, strong and muscly retired Major in the Military Police, who was a long range sharp shooter. He has a sharp investigative mind and since leaving the military he's gone to the other extreme and has become a loner and a drifter, with no possessions or ties. In all of the stories, he rights the wrongs that are done to others. There's always violence, he always gets together with leading ladies.

Seems to be a particular problem with British TV shows, they drag out for 6 1 hour episodes a story that could be easily knocked on the head in 3 at most. Last year we had The Serpent which I gave up on after 3 and apparently continued to drag tediously until the last one was quite good, now we have Chloe on BBC which I sacked off after 2, the missus persevered and apparently it was pretty good in the end! Oh and don't get me started on the lack of 'previously' bits at the start of shows, as someone who rarely if ever has the time to binge watch I often give up as I cannot remember what is going on when I finally find time to watch another episode!

If I kindly gave my WiFi password to a neighbour I wouldn't know if they were watching live TV with it. Expect them to threaten you with ridiculous demands of "WE suspect you are using TV services without having a licence" or something to that tune. But if you actually inform them and say you will no longer be needing a licence this type of letter/email should stop. Remember that your TV licence only covers BBC programmes (TV, Online & Radio) and I think even iPlayer (recorded/catch up) isn't included in that. Basically anything else, you can watch and/or pay for like Prime/Disney+/Sky/Now etc. It's only when you start using BBC services (catch up aside) that they can ask you to pay again. More than likely if you genuinely hardly ever use BBC services (maybe the odd occasion) then they may send a letter but unless you're taking the piss then they shouldn't bother you - life is complicated as it is for many people at the moment. Regards WiFi sharing, well no you wouldn't know what thy were accessing necessarily but you would know when they are connected as most devices etc will give you the info/name of the device accessing your WiFi. In the cases of TV Licencing or similar having to check - I'm sure they can probably (especially via online/digital) know when a signal is going to one of their channels/servers etc and how frequently. This is a pure guess but I'd say there is possibly a threshold that (once breached) auto informs the "machines" which then tells the "humans" to 'nail the sneaky bastards' :) Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Saturday, February 19, 2022, 16:26:10 you need a license for iPlayer

Albeit it's not limitless but once people start using other means to access, it surely becomes much harder.

The Dystopian ideas and concept of a structured class system on a self-sustainable travelling city (which in this case is a train), aka "The Snowpiercer" brings about notes of The Hunger Games, The 100 and Westworld (series not film); if you like the social theories it heavily weights towards then you'll probably enjoy. Based off the original book and more recently the film of the same name. Have read and watched those - the series definitely adapts better to screen than the movie version although the series is ultimately a rebranded adaptation of the film. Currently on S3 and been renewed for S4 so it must be doing "enough" ratings wise to warrant a 4th season.

After passing his test an old schoolmate of mine had a Riley Elf. :) Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, March 18, 2022, 11:29:29 After passing his test an old schoolmate of mine had a Riley Elf. :) My granddad had a Riley Elf, in pristine condition. It never left the garage, and as far as I remember, never got driven. (by him at least) Not a clue what happened to it sadly, it was sold at some stage. Lovely old car.

I watched it the other day. and half of 'the day after'I snuck watching Threads on my black and white TV when I was a kid, as I wasn't allowed to watch it (obvs). Didn't effect me at all. Other than running into the garden to check the her noise I could hear was a plane not a nuke. For every plane. For several months.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Thursday, April 7, 2022, 09:44:43 Quote from: horlock07 This Saville documentary is bloody grim! I have only watched a bit. "we" were all fooled at first. I've not got to the bit where the allegations are coming out and covered up. not looking forward to it Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, April 7, 2022, 09:48:44 Even as a kid I despised Saville, nothing to do with any possible wrong doing he just came accross as a slimy know it all bullying bloke.
Rolf Harris though...now that was totally different, he was the only one I was shocked by. They are car crash TV these Exposés but compelling.

Rolf Harris though...now that was totally different, he was the only one I was shocked by. They are car crash TV these Exposés but compelling. Sure I have mentioned this before, a mate of mine is a sparky and did a hell of a lot of work at Stoke Mandeville in the early 90's, he used to tell us that female nurses were very vocal that they would do whatever necessary to avoid being in a room alone with Savile and would likewise do everything in their power to avoid him being allowed access to female patients of any age. If it was being discussed openly with third party contractors then the question remains why was nothing done, albeit the documentary goes into great detail regarding his very close links with government and the royal family, so perhaps my question is a stupid one. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, April 7, 2022, 12:51:37 Yes there must have been one almighty cover up at a very high level.
Back in the 90s my wifes cousin who has a lot of connections with the freemasons said he was told (after we had about 5 bottles of Bollie) and said something about Saville and lots of high ranking people at a childrens homes including one in Jersey including Cyril Smith and Ted Heath, and a few others which has proved to be correct too. We have no idea about what historical abuse was suffered its utterly sickening.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGLq7_MonZ4 Check the comments below that video. It's 2nd series is just about to air so I wondered what else I had missed and did some research. These are now in my queue: Cobra Kai You (continung with this, forgot I had got to the final episode of series 2 when my Netflix ended) Mare of Easttown (Kate Winslet is supposed to be amazing) Lupin The Flight Attendant The Landscapers (Olivia Colman is brilliant in anything) Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Kinky Tom on Saturday, October 29, 2022, 19:01:28 Cobra Kai is a must see, brilliantly nostalgic.

Any recommendations for Crime Thrillers? No Docuseries as covered most of those. Gangs of London any good? Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Monday, October 31, 2022, 17:51:17 Gangs of London any good? First series was good, though casting the younger Shelby brother from Peaky Blinders as the main character was IMO a mistake. Didn't stop me enjoying it though. If you have BritBox or torrent things, then The Shadow Line is a BBC crime thriller from 2011 that was absolutely superb - amazing cast, script and plot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNYCSNsTZSc There are loads of great actors and performances but Rafe Spall as an utter psycho was 10/10.

I watched the above on BBC4 last night, it's on the I-player. Really interesting documentary about the Cameroon 1990 team, there's a couple of shots of Nestor Lorenzo playing for Argentina against Cameroon in the opening game. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, November 23, 2022, 08:24:48 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0dcwz86/green-lions-cameroon-90 I watched the above on BBC4 last night, it's on the I-player. Really interesting documentary about the Cameroon 1990 team, there's a couple of shots of Nestor Lorenzo playing for Argentina against Cameroon in the opening game. There are loads of World Cup/Football related documentaries on at the moment. I'm halfway through one about World Cup 90 on Sky Documentaries. The previous ones I've seen are usually England heavy but this one is more about the tournament as a whole, part 2 is especially interesting and poignant as it focusses on Yugoslavia (embarrassingly I hadn't even realised they were in the tournament) and all the things going on in the background in that country. *SPOILER ALERT* they interview the manager of the Yugoslavia 90 side to get his thoughts and he sadly dies 2 days after the interview. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Wednesday, November 23, 2022, 08:50:31 I saw the end of the Yugoslavia episode, it was extremely interesting/sad.

Surprised he got the part. Never watched Peaky Blinders. Better give it a go after Blacklist. It took me ages to get around to Peaky Blinders and then I recently watched all of the first 4 series in about a month. It's brilliant but I'm struggling to finish series 5 because the characters have become so unlikeable and boring, and I don't give a shit about them any more. There are some fantastic performances and stories in there though. There's a film coming out, I think to finish it all off, so I'll complete the series before that.

The Recruit A Spy Among Friends (recent one with Damian Hirst) Litvinenko (also a recent one with David Tennant) The Americans The Spy (Sacha Baron Cohen) I once fell asleep in an Islington cinema whilst, hungover, watching The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. Woke myself up with a loud snore and an angry look around from the man sitting in front of us so we left. The plot was a bit complicated for me too, so won't be giving that a go.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Thursday, February 16, 2023, 20:36:55 Ruddy Nora Last of Us is good.

Me neither, far too jumpy for that. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Thursday, February 16, 2023, 22:19:51 Ruddy Nora Last of Us is good. I like it a lot, as most on here will know I enjoy a lot of post-apocalyptic based stuff but my main gripe is how fast and erratic the Clickers are...it's a bit unrealistic for me in that sense. And that this far into a P-A world - some 20yrs, the main survivors who venture out of the QZs still don't seem to have got to grips with the 'hosted' or 'turned', by now surely they would have adapted to life with them being more of an annoyance? I also am not sure why they haven't worn gas masks to prevent ingesting spores, they're just wandering around freely, no issue... Forgetting that, I think the writing is pretty good and they have really allowed character development to shine. Episodes written more in an anthology style, so when we meet new characters, they get a good chunk of back story/air time so when an event happens we actually do care about them as much as Ellie and Joel. Although Ellie is a bit like Coral from TWD, in the fact she's always fucking off somewhere and getting in a pickle. I hope they only do a max of three seasons, maybe S2 in two parts. Would be a nice nod back to the games as well. It's definitely one of the best adaptations from a game in a long time. The only real one that tells a similar, compelling story and went on the big screen was Silent Hill. They nailed Pyramid Head in that one and the whole eerie feel of it. Anyway, enjoy TLoU :) Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Friday, February 17, 2023, 10:31:24 Last of Us is on the list.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Friday, February 17, 2023, 21:55:34 Just started watching Last of Us tonight, on episode 3 already. Knew nothing about the game. Was a Playstation exclusive when it launched so many Xbox lot obviously missed out on a good gaming title. Although the first part is launching on PC in about a month, so that may eventually bring a unit to the Xbox X or something but they shouldn't hold their breath. Interestingly (or not), the game became even more ''exclusive'' within Sony's own consoles...Part II was only playable on the PS4, which was a little odd as the PS5 launched in November 2020 but there was know version for that console. It took until around Sept 2022 for it to became playable on the PS5. I feel that watching the show without having played the game will be a better experience as there are no expectations as to how the characters or story should go - a nice place to be in. FWIW, Ep3 imo was a beautiful story about finding love. There were so many great nuances and brilliantly played by ''grumpy'' Nick Offerman as Bill. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Friday, February 24, 2023, 15:54:21 I've got the first few episodes of The Last of Us ready to watch - didn't know Nick Offerman is in it, he's brilliant in Parks & Rec. too.
I'm very late to it but currently just beginning series 3 of Game of Thrones. It has taken me far too long to get around to this one; absolutely brilliant so far. When I need a respite from the blood & sex of GoT, Stath Lets Flats and This Time with Alan Partridge are my current go-to comedies that I'd gladly watch on repeat forever. Can't get into Derry Girls. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: 4D on Friday, February 24, 2023, 22:25:30 Just bought the complete 5 seasons of the wire for 15 quid. 24 dvd discs.

Hadn't played the game, but had a friend who has, who encouraged me to watch it. Thought it was really good. They crammed an awful lot into the last episode, which was only 42 minutes long. The whole series was very, very well filmed. Although there were lots of special effects, the film makers made you think and use your imagination.

Funnily enough we started to watch this last night also. (2/4 so far) I was curious about how people could become addicted to the painkiller tablets, but it became obvious why this was the case during the drama. I'm a big fan of these true story type dramatisations. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: RobertT on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, 13:48:01 Dopesick was very good and the real life drama associated with that one is still ongoing - the Supreme Court having just stayed a settlement agreement that would have enabled the company to file for bankruptcy after the Sackler family withdrew Billions to personal accounts.
The drug industry over here is nuts - it's essentially as close to legalised drug pushing as you can get.

Title: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Batch on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, 13:55:52 I think they are bringing into legislation the need to track adverse effects of such products, rather than banning them.

I knew he was a complete sicko, but didn't know about the even more revolting stuff covered in the last episode.
Brave of Steve Coogan to take the part. I've since watched quite a few YouTube videos where Savile continually makes the 'joke', "I'm banned from all the girls schools in the country" and may other comments that now seem even more obvious confessions/boasts. Was Jill Dando was killed because she was about to expose him? Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: molepar on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, 22:02:09 Just finished the last part of Reckoning, the BBC 4-parter about Savile. I knew he was a complete sicko, but didn't know about the even more revolting stuff covered in the last episode. Watching that at the moment. Good acting and quite brave to take on the role by Steve Coogan. Interesting but certainly a harrowing and uncomfortable watch. Haven’t got to last episode yet but apparently certain scenes were going to be even more horrible but Coogan objected and said he wasn’t comfortable with it. Brave of Steve Coogan to take the part.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Thursday, October 12, 2023, 15:47:19 Haven't watched it and probably won't but I wonder if his mates Thatcher and Charles Windsor will feature? Thatcher is prominent in the last episode and they've got archive footage of him with the then Prince of Wales, and the Pope. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, 11:51:48 Started The Reckoning last night, two episodes in and its OK, nothing really new in it and struggling a bit with Coogan's Savile often sounding and acting very much like Coogan's Partridge.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: RobertT on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, 12:17:27 For anyone who likes sci-fi, but not the glitsy stuff, then Invasion (on Apple) is great. Just don't expect it to be fast moving, which is why I like it.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: adje on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, 14:21:26 I know I'm late to it but where have I been? Just finished the 1st series of "Yellowstone" on C5. Can't wait for series 2 to be available for us terrestrial types.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: fuzzy on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, 14:56:53 I'm doing Gen V on Amazon, a spin off of The Boys.
A university for Supes run by Vought International with all the business/ personal/ ethical/ political shit of The Boys. Good watching so far Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 09:31:21 Does anyone watch Sex Education on Netflakes, be interested to hear opinions on the most recent (last) season to see whether its just me?
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: 4D on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 09:49:04 The wife watched it, I'd watched all the seasons prior to this. Just felt it was a 'bit much' this time around, so didn't bother after 1 episode.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 10:37:25 The wife watched it, I'd watched all the seasons prior to this. Just felt it was a 'bit much' this time around, so didn't bother after 1 episode. We just have the final episode to go, but my review so far would just be 'meh'. It just seems like the writers have entirely run out of ideas, to introduce a whole bunch of new characters in what was known to be the last series, is just frankly odd (and whilst I can sort of see why they have gone for such an inclusiveness agenda, the way its just been shoehorned in is strange) and means for a large part of each episode you have whole sections where you are not invested in any of the characters or really care, plus with the main characters that have been there since day 1 they just seem to have been shunted off into peripheral roles or entirely changed in their characteristics, meaning you don't really care about them either. Think we will stick to the end, but all seems a bit of a waste of time and a crap end to what was quite a good idea and series. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 10:46:29 I liked it. No spoilers as you seem to have not finished it yet but there's a funeral episode which is top notch TV.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Quagmire on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 12:12:09 Maeve is still fit, that’s the main thing.
This series was easily the worst, it was very much in your face and I didn’t take much interest in any of the new characters at all. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 12:56:18 I liked it. No spoilers as you seem to have not finished it yet but there's a funeral episode which is top notch TV. Unless there is another one I think we have seen that, and it was good! Maeve is still fit, that’s the main thing. This series was easily the worst, it was very much in your face and I didn’t take much interest in any of the new characters at all. TBH I don't think series 3 was a patch on the two before it either. We have a sort of vested interest in watching to the bitter end as my nephew is in it in one of his first post drama school roles, but it just hasn't grabbed me and seeing that the last one is an extended one just led to us sacking it off and turning over and watching All Creatures Great and Small last night! Maeve is indeed fit, she is also in the Barbie Movie (as are Adam and Eric in fact!) alongside Margo Robbie which is a bit disconcerting. Whilst Aimee is still eating the scenery in every scene she is in (and is the best thing in it!), its just not the same without Lily! Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 13:00:42 Maeve is still fit :facepalm: Team Ruby :love: Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 13:02:07 my nephew is in it Who's your nephew? Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 13:23:10 Who's your nephew? Its not a big role, and we haven't spotted him yet so I fear he may have been ditched in the edit anyway, but to be fair he has already had a small role in Casualty (haven't we all!) plus is in the upcoming Dr Who and some Welsh drama thingy so he isn't doing too badly! On the wider issue as per your other post I think Ruby has actually been the big star of this series, but even that seems to be pointlessly petering out towards the end. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, October 19, 2023, 18:01:48 Nice. Best British TV show in years imo. Loved it.
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Saturday, October 21, 2023, 18:52:33 Home alone over the weekend, so caught up with the Reckoning. Christ that was a hard watch, but was left in tears listening to a couple of the victims at the end. Made me think of the hundreds of others across the country (who would be around my age) that are still living with the hurt and trauma. Then, there is the guilt that I feel at not spotting what was in clear sight - I just thought he was eccentric! Jesus!

Enjoyed Series 1, and although I've not watched series 2, yet, I've heard it's even better. The lead character is great.

Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: horlock07 on Friday, November 24, 2023, 11:05:40 Boat Story on i player, is gloriously dark and peculiar, with Daisy Haggard which is always nice!
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: mystical_goat on Friday, November 24, 2023, 23:56:17 I'm a bit late to this one but 'Time' on the BBC iPlayer with Sean Bean and Stephen Graham is superb. 3 episodes, of about an hour each, of gritty prison drama.
Wouldn't bother with the 2nd series as the cast and acting is much weaker. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: adje on Saturday, November 25, 2023, 13:12:30 Boat Story on i player, is gloriously dark and peculiar, with Daisy Haggard which is always nice! Yeah,I'm enjoying thatTitle: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Sunday, January 7, 2024, 21:24:44 I'm a bit late to this one but 'Time' on the BBC iPlayer with Sean Bean and Stephen Graham is superb. 3 episodes, of about an hour each, of gritty prison drama. Wouldn't bother with the 2nd series as the cast and acting is much weaker. The cast for Season Two is a pretty strong mini ensemble made up of probably three of the UK's strongest female acting talent in Siobhan Finneran, Bella Ramsey and Jodie Whittaker. It's never going to hit the same kind of highs as Season One which was probably carried by two of the best male acting talent in the UK currently - with Sean Bean and Stephen Graham - the latter seemingly having been booked for just about every big TV job last year. I think close to 20m tuned in to Season One. It was led by the Sherwood and The Long Shadow Director, Lewis Arnold. Similarly, when Sherwood Season Two comes out, it's not Directed by Arnold and I don't think the brilliant David Morrissey features either. It will likely be deemed weak, but not because these second installments aren't god or worth watching, just that their initial predecessors were so bloody damn good :) On an ending note, has anyone watched; The Long Shadow - True Crime drama adaptation about the Yorkshire Ripper victims and police investigation BODIES - Detective Miniseries set in four different eras, each detective trying to solve the murder of the same body appearing in each era. Archie - Four part biopic, covering the rise of the life and times of Archibald Leach, aka Cary Grant The Final Season of The Crown - Needs no introduction as the hit series comes to its conclusion Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Sunday, January 7, 2024, 21:34:20 Just watched ‘Rebel Moon’. Utter shite!
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Leggett on Monday, January 8, 2024, 09:00:15 Just watched ‘Rebel Moon’. Utter shite! Zack Snyder does what Zach Snyder does and makes a largely vapid story with his usual visual flourishes... he's been open to the fact this started decades ago as a pitch for a Star Wars film, and thank fuck that it got turned down. However he just ctrl-H'd all the 'Empire' references with 'Imperium' and even had lightsabers at one point... I was *so* bored, it makes no sense, obvious twist was obvious and I don't understand how all his little incel fanboys can still defend this shit. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, January 8, 2024, 09:07:20 The Long Shadow was great as was Mr Bates vs the Post Office.
We also watched Platform 7 on ITVX recently which was a bit different but a lot of fun.

I thought it was shades of Magnificent 7 meets Star Wars with the odd bit of irritating Matrix cinematography, with the women being 'kick ass' and the men 'meh!'. The bad guy reminded me of Alex in 'Clockwork Orange' with a bit of 'Terminator' thrown in. Just crap stitched together awkwardly.Also, they spent a lot of time introducing 'Tarzan' on the Griffin and then he didn't do anything in the rest of the film! Bizarre! Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Friday, February 16, 2024, 19:18:57 Someone suggested ‘Slow Horses’
Binged the first series and loved it! Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Monday, March 4, 2024, 14:49:21 Just started Criminal Records with Peter Capaldi. Original Apple TV series but I’ve got it on my iPTV package.
First episode very good. Could be a good one. 8 episodes.. Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, 19:27:43 Bubbling along very nicely this
Title: Re: Color Teevee Programs Post by: Nomoreheroes on Thursday, March 28, 2024, 19:31:51 Watched the very hyped ‘3 Body Problem’. Thought it was all over the shop!
Also a friend recommended ‘Leave the World Behind’. Thought that was poor too! |
