Well, we have movies, books, music, it's about time for TV!
Hannibal-- caught up on all three seasons. Graphic, but amazing, amazing show. Will Graham actor is so hot = major bonus.
Bates Motel-- based off of Alfred Hitchick's Psycho. Set in modern day Oregon, but with a retro look. Surprisingly good how they pull off the crazy marijuana storyline.
Downton Abbey-- final season premiered here last week. I'm actually planning to wait for them all to be out so I can binge watch them. That's what I've done for all the other seasons.
Girls-- comedy with 20 something girls going through their crazy 20 something lives in New York City. Not as cheeseball as it sounds, I promise .Very smart and sharp humor/writing. I would highly recommend. I'm through season 4 right now.
The wife and I have been watching "Supernatural" on Netflix. Good show! reminds me a bit of the X-Files.

Gingerfish--I love the Vicar of Dibley! I re-watch it often.

series 9 of Doctor Who, such an improvement on last year
Mr.Robot, love the premised and Christian Slater is great in it
retro watching old Peep Show
War & Peace, it really is worth the effort to get into it, love it
Death in Paradise, this is our comfort show, watching it is like putting on a pair of old slippers

I've started on my Breaking Bad boxset. 3 episodes in and it's very good. Perhaps not quite what I expected but I like the normal guy aspect and all the mistakes & bungles they are making, not the typical "get it right first time all the time" heroes we tend to see.

Breaking Bad is fabulous, all the way through. The quality doesnt really dip.
House of Cards likewise though about to start a 4th series.
As a lightweight but fun series I'm really liking 'Elementary'
Breaking Bad is wonderful :)

20-01-16, 10:25
I really think 'House of Cards' is just as good
Can't decide on sequel 'Better Call Saul' yet?
Loved Breaking Bad ! We binged on the episodes - it became quite obsessive. The only episode which was a little 'puzzling' was the one with The Fly - but I suppose it was trying to illustrate the way the lead character was thinking ....
Game of Thrones is brilliant ! Incredibly written, superbly produced and beautifully acted.
Loved Downton too - and binged on the box set which I was given for my birthday.
Banshee - brilliant
Homeland - excellent
Blacklist - entertaining

just watching ' the golden age of childrens television' BBC4
I wonder if there is a case for bringing back that 5 minutes of children telly on BBC1 just before the 6pm news. Morph, Wombles, Magic Roundabout :)
It seems that satellite killed off teh golden age as the child audience was treated as consumer and was fragmented :(
Soaps, Eastenders, Corrie, Emmerdale etc.
watching the repeats of Downton Abbey on Encore
Midsommer Murders, Silent Witness and can't wait for the new series of Vera

House, you might think it wouldn't be good for health anxiety but I like watching all these "unsolvable" cases get solved, it's comforting. 9.5/10
I absolutely adore the Walking Dead. I can't get enough of it.
I also like Impractical Jokers a bit of silly fun which somehow always makes me laugh which is strange considering I find nothing funny these days.
I also like a few old Programmes I'm too embarrassed to write them down though haha.

I'm 6 series into sons on anarchy but finding it quite difficult to watch at the moment. 5 series into once upon a time, it's quite relaxing to watch! Just finished series 1 of under the dome though not sure what to make of it yet
Have discovered The Knick with Clive Owen. A bit graphic and perhaps not the best viewing if you are squeamish, but very interesting and well acted.

I watched the Donald Trump documentary earlier. If he ever got in he would probably rename The White House to Trump House or knock it down and put a high rise up. You have to be pretty bad if Sarah Palin is fighting your corner.
Something that came to mind watching it was Brewster's Millions. Perhaps he's doing a Monty Brewster so he gets everyone's votes to then turn around and say "vote none of the above" and point out how easy it is if you say the right things?

Z Nation on Netflix. Not a bad zombie show. It's a little hokey at times, but I guess all zombie stuff is a bit hokey to begin with. I honestly enjoy it more than The Walking Dead, or at least, I like the characters better.

Cant wait for the new X-Files on channel 5 ....... yay for Mulder / Scully
Currently binge-watching Pretty Little Liars on Netflix.
Loving Scorpion at the moment. The Good Wife has become a little disappointing but we're sticking with it in the hope that it gets back to how it was before.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is great for a short burst of comedy.
I can't remember the others at the moment.
The new episodes of X Files... Awesome! The Truth Is Out There!

we now have BBC II! as a purely online channel and with it the return of the very IMHO funny 'Cuckoo', Greg Davies is such a watchable clown of an actor, but there is pathos there as well.
currently, my tv skedule looks a little like this
monday- new series of benidorm
tried killjoys but didn't like it so stopped
tuesday- it's not rocket science, and south of hell
wednesday- the new series of limitless (amazing), and don't tell the bride (which i just love)
thursday- lucky man, and the keith lemmon sketch show
friday- nothing, since gangland undercover was rudely interupted by OJ simpson (bring back gangland!. need to know what happens after episode 3)
saturday- ant and dec's saturday night takeaway
sunday- nothing.
i also just ordered the complete series of the BBC show atlantis, so i might start watching that

Watched Earth's Greatest Spectacles. about the wetland of the Okavango Delta in the middle of the vast Kalahari Desert. It was very interesting.
The one on ITV looks good but sadly it has Davina McCall jumping about pulling faces rather than a credible professional in the field. I don't mind celebrities narrating but they shouldn't be in place of an expert in presenting such a show or series.
I'm going to try The Night Manager-the BBC's Le Carre drama series which starts tomorrow night. Hope it's not too complicated..

The Making of a Murderer on Netflix--Contrary to what it sound like, this is not about how a child becomes a serial killer. It follows the true story of a man who--supposedly--is framed by the police department. It's so addictive and just despicable! Highly recommended if you're into this sort of thing.
I don't know what the show is called, but I've been watching a lot of British crime shows on the YouTube channel, RealCrimeUK.
American Horror Story season 1--This is a rewatch. Good show.

Currently rewatching Top Gear from the start, well from when Clarkson, May and Hammond hosted it. Its made me remember I have a very big soft spot for James May :D
Currently Watching;
Benidorm (Disappointing series, not as good as the others).
Lucky Man (First 3 were good, now dragging a bit, but love the soundtrack)
The Good Wife (Because my partner likes the woman in it).
The Voice (Only like the auditions)
Mr Selfridge (Brilliant!)
Suits (Because my partner fantasies he is the main character)
The Original episodes of Star Trek
The Big Bang Theory (My favourite for laughter)

Life at the Extreme with Davina McCall.
As predicted, she spent most of it gurning as usual. :doh: Seeing a Sidewinder coming down a sand dune and saying to the guide 'is that a snake?'...well it isn't a bloody big worm!!!

Watched The Story of Cats on ITV Sunday night. It was about rescue lions and the guy who rolls around on the floor with them. It also talked about the behaviours of domesticated cats and how they evolved from wild cat species.
I like tigers and any of the white breeds of wild cat but I really loved the Clouded Leopard. With it's long snout and eyes it reminded me of The Pink Panther. Very interesting how it still hunts in the trees for monkeys and birds.

Watched the series of The Jump.
Not as good as the previous two series, especially the first.
The producers certainly messed the format up making it weekly rather than daily. Then they managed to give the celebrities a way to bypass doing the jump at all by using the air jump instead, which was only used as a special event in the previous series. Even in the final no one used the highest jump when in previous seasons, they did. In the previous two seasons the celebrities were going off even the lowest jump from night one yet in this they were all ducking that in favour of the air jump...which any child could do without any training!
Easy ride.
And then we have the bringing back of Heather Mills. Arrogant as ever and full of excuses and made herself look a right plonker by having something to stop her competing constantly.
Arg came back in after being knocked out the week before to replace Linford, the athletic hero who must have had tons of injuries and be used to physical pain...yet pulled one of those ever so delicate areas that only athletes seem to be able to pull unlike any person off the street who would carry on! :doh: I was glad to see Arg booted out the same night he came back. And sick of Davina telling us all to love the plonker!
The worst happened though - Joe Swash! I was glad to see him leave quite quickly, the guy is a like a teenager and very annoying. His shoulder injury seemed to be a lot better when he came back, so it was obviously just a bruise and not the chipped shoulder they claimed. Prat. The week he went out it was quite obvious that they had an odd number of people for races that needed evens and Swash is injured so can't take part. :rolleyes:

Employable Me.
Brilliant programme, it put things into perspective for me :shades:
I didn't see it but I did see some clips on Gogglebox and it looked very interesting.
I am fairly cynical with employers though...there would be a terrible backlash on them if they had not taken someone on so I felt this was companies that were willing to give them a go and I don't think that maps to employers who just want things easy. Two people with near identical scores in an interview but one has a condition that could need more work from the employer...and guess who gets turned down? :winks:
It's great to see anything positive to help people though. Hopefully it changes opinion even a little to make things better for them.
Yeah I get what you mean about employers. The man with autism, in particular, though was given a chance to show what skills he had and was given the job on this basis.
What I took away from the prog was that nobody should ever be written off because they don't fit into society's version of 'normal'.
MyNameIsTerry
27-03-16, 08:56
Totally agree. There's obviously some jobs that are not possible but there should be many that are too.
The idea of a 2 week trial is a good thing for someone like that guy to showcase his talents rather than be written off in the interview. Sadly, that costs time & money.
I remember at my last place they would always pick the quick options. This is really sad to say but I can still remember one of the HR people writing off a guy straight away because his English wasn't good (it was an office admin job :doh:) so people with challenging conditions stand little chance with employers like this even though they could be better than the "normal" ones they picked over them.
The same with us to an extent. I've often said that having a break in my CV due to mental health issues gives me all the employability of anyone with a criminal record. But at least I can rebuild my CV and start again, not constantly face the battle these men & women do with society.
I am watching the TV program's about the Brontes. It was on last night and another one tonight. Haworth is my most favourite place. I have been there many times.
I went by myself once on the bus (something I never done before on my own as I have no sense of direction .I knew I would not get lost in one street)
I missed GoggleBox on Friday. don't know how I did that! I will watch it on repeat to night.x

Hubby and I have recently been sucked in to the "Falling Skies" series.

He's such a "pretty boy" though..:D How are you finding the OJ drama? John Travolta is hilarious,isn't he?!All that plastic surgery!
I too have just finished watching 'The Night Manager' :(
I thought Hugh Laurie was superb!
He is a pretty boy, but I tell you what, I could wake up every morning next to him and know its no great hardship. I love the OJ drama, I can't make out if John Travolta has something in his mouth, he looks so strange.

Watched The Island. Gave up on it last season, I wasn't convinced when they starting finding old electrical items and how docile those "wild" pigs were...especially the piglets who wanted to play with them all the time!
One woman was a camera operator and boasted about going around the world but just moaned all the time on this so she hardly came across as someone used to camera work outside of a studio. She seemed to be panicking, which was labelled a panic attack and got the usual "get a grip" type stuff.
I did laugh at the doctor on there though, she is going to make a fine GP. Collecting water from a stagnant pool that the wildlife probably all ignore in favour of some lovely fresh running water. She tasted it and pronounced it "a little bit salty with a strong eggy taste". :doh: So, she obviously didn't twig that a stagnant pool tasting like that would likely mean a high mineral content of something. Sulphur? So, they boil of the bacteria and Bear tells us it won't get all the toxins out...well, no, because they need to distill the water to drink the purified steam and let the minerals settle in the container they boil it from.
I'm surprised a doctor didn't have some basic knowledge here or perhaps common sense. But then the next morning several women are ill and one is retching. The Doc asks if she has been drinking much water, is told no and decides the patient needs to just drink more water! Well done Doc. :doh:

Been watching Bear Grylls Mission Survive most weeks.
Got to love gems from Bear like "if an elephant charges you, you need to get behind something pretty substantial". Bear, I think if the elephant is rumbling, it means "sod off, human". Anyway, those camera angles are funny, on some you look like you could almost stroke it, yet you are hundreds of yards away on others. :whistles:
I did laugh tonight though. Michelle & Jason deciding to gut a shark and throw it's guts back in the same river Bear has just said they get Bull sharks in. :doh:
Bear decided they needed to learn about how Mrs Robinson (Swiss family Robinson) gave rectal rehydration as a nurse to her family to keep them alive in the boat. I can't remember that in the film but I won't be looking at it the same again now. Bear had a twig in his mouth to bite down on whilst a medic inserted a very small nozzle up his bum. Seriously? Ever had a sigmoidoscopy or even worse, the full monty colonoscopy? It's a lot worse than that little nozzle and far less dramatic than you made it mate!
The celebs then did it. I doubt I was the only one thinking Jason had one hell of an advantage there. :winks: Although it was Michelle who made me laugh by asking 'have you put it in yet?' :roflmao: Thanks for the incite into your "experience" there, Michelle!

Watched a programme with Ben Fogle about 200 sharks gobbling up a dead whale they were dragging to study what happens when they die. It was obviously aimed at sharks since it didn't do much to cover what happens as the whale sinks. It was good.
One of the cameramen got nipped on the bum by a shark. Not a very good shark though since it's teeth didn't even pierce a wetsuit...I guess it must have been a very old shark with no dentures. :whistles:
I think I would like to see a follow up series to this. Perhaps with them dragging some politicians behind the boat. :winks:

This totally reminded me about a cool piece from a Radiolab podcast I heard a while back. It talks about how a whale sinks and decomposes. It's pretty cool and oddly beautiful...the process takes YEARS. It starts at about 28 mins in and is only about 8 minutes or so.
http://www.radiolab.org/story/161744-loops/
You don't HAVE to listen, but I just remembered how cool this piece was and couldn't help but post for any whale-loving folks reading.

Im gearing up for Game of Thrones series 6 which is imminent
There appear to be such catch up shows before hand which should be fun as well
Im also keen to watch the 'Undercover' series from the BBC on Sunday evenings
I've been enjoying the BBC2 stand up series 'live at the BBC' as well
The wife and I started watching "Ranch" on Netflix. It features Danny Masterson and Ashton Kutcher who worked together in That 70's Show. Some other big names too. Pretty good sitcom and the characters and dynamics between Kutcher and Masterson are very similar to their characters on the 70's show.
Positive thoughts
Did anyone catch 'Marcella' last night? Blimey, that was good. I'm a tad gutted as it's not a book and I would buy it as I need to know what that story is.
I've Sky +d it- looks right up my street!
Oooh you are in for a treat! The reviews today have been fantastic. It's really really good.
It's had very good reviews hasn't it! I love a good serial killer drama.
That OJ programme is getting farcical!
I can not believe that the race card was allowed to played as much as it was. It was a murder case. I have a theory, all those on OJ's side, Cochrane dead, Kardashian dead, the older fella, Will I think, he is disbarred and Shapiro has had a step child die. My theory is like the tomb of King Tut, it's bad. OJ soooooooooooo killed Nicole and Ron ... or his older son did it! But one bloomin' Simpson did it!
Oh yeah, I love a good serial killer drama too, mind you, I like reading about serial killers too. I have an odd brain. :D
Me too:DMy son did a criminology degree-the titles of his set texts were enough to ring alarm bells at the local booksellers......
Has your son wrote a book? I have a few friends who read books about serial killers, I think because its so alien to anything we could do it's just so disturbingly interesting. I would love to sit down and have a chat with your son, does he not fancy becoming one of those criminal profilers? Aren't there only 3 in the country. Fascinating.
Watching Sons of Anarchy. I'm on season 5 (almost 6) and loving every bit of it honestly. I'd recommend it to anyone on Netflix

No, he's no author just fascinated by bizarre serial killers...I bet you love the film "Seven"? Have you seen "The Bone Collector"?
Seven I've seen but not The Bone Collector.... but it is now on my list of films to watch.
I will read more than watch. I read anything on our (the countries) serial killers, so anything on Hindley and Brady, Fred and Rose West, The Yorkshire Ripper etc. I like to read about the American lady Aileen Wournos. I just find it very difficult to understand why anyone would think 'I'm going to kill someone today' ....... I'll probably end up buying something to do with OJ after this programme has finished.

I read anything on our (the countries) serial killers, so anything on Hindley and Brady, Fred and Rose West, The Yorkshire Ripper etc. I like to read about the American lady Aileen Wournos. I just find it very difficult to understand why anyone would think 'I'm going to kill someone today' ....... I'll probably end up buying something to do with OJ after this programme has finished.
There's a book in Tesco about OJ. Maybe it's a tie in? It's a paperback.

No, he's no author just fascinated by bizarre serial killers...I bet you love the film "Seven"? Have you seen "The Bone Collector"?
The Bone Collector is an excellent film. Well worth watching, MrsCav. I've seen the book in the past, was it Jeffrey Deaver, pulisa?
How about To Catch A Killer? I'll never forget Brian Dennehy's excellent acting. Very creepy.

This totally reminded me about a cool piece from a Radiolab podcast I heard a while back. It talks about how a whale sinks and decomposes. It's pretty cool and oddly beautiful...the process takes YEARS. It starts at about 28 mins in and is only about 8 minutes or so.
http://www.radiolab.org/story/161744-loops/
You don't HAVE to listen, but I just remembered how cool this piece was and couldn't help but post for any whale-loving folks reading.
Radiolab is a badass podcast, FYI! Some of their episodes have changed my life. So, so good.
Thanks Geniore, I shall have a look at that shortly. :yesyes:
Whales are beautiful creatures. It's amazing how they give so much back to the survival of other creatures when they die. I think I've seen other programmes like this about large mammals.

Admission Time !!!
Through watching it with my 3 1/2 year old Grandson I have fallen in love with 'Thunderbirds are Go', its not as good as the original but it's actually a really nice reMake, it's witty and it has reall model work alongside CGI instead of puppetry. A couple of episodes I noted were written by David Baddiel which probably means that the scripting team has some wit amongst it though I don't recognise a lot of the other writers.
The only thing it suffers from ( a bit like Nu Who ( post 2005 Doctor Who )) is that the plots are very pacey and the action is cut very quickly from scene to scene. I guess that goes with the territory of telling each episode in 25 minutes now rather than the old 45 minutes.
Well done to the WETA company for the new Thunderbird launch sequences.

I can not believe that the race card was allowed to played as much as it was. It was a murder case. I have a theory, all those on OJ's side, Cochrane dead, Kardashian dead, the older fella, Will I think, he is disbarred and Shapiro has had a step child die. My theory is like the tomb of King Tut, it's bad. OJ soooooooooooo killed Nicole and Ron ... or his older son did it! But one bloomin' Simpson did it!
Oh yeah, I love a good serial killer drama too, mind you, I like reading about serial killers too. I have an odd brain. :D

Indian Summers.
Only seen the 2nd series. It's well written in terms of the characters but I feel it is let down in certain areas. For instance, Aafrin is like a rabbit in headlights whenever something dodgy is mentioned that is connected to his true mission. He looks guilty and I wonder whether that's supposed to be that way or just bad acting? Some of the writing is suspect e.g. the lord afraid what people would think of him trying to molest a servant girl. Come on, no one would care back in the days of acceptable domestic violence and women still being subservient, let alone in the House of Lords...they probably would have shook his hand while calling him a scallywag! :rolleyes: Christ, these days politicians are at worse!
And tonight there was a explosion from half a dozen sticks of dynamite that would have struggled to blow the skin off a rice pudding! It blew a big hole in the ground, that very hard stuff that is difficult to blow a hole in, yet left a human being completely intact with a dusty suit! This device was supposed to blow up a load of people at a party and it did sweet FA. That for me is bad writing.
The rest otherwise seems good. But it is far too slow. Whether this is just the 2nd series, I don't know, but I'm struggling to understand what the big hoohah is about it based on this series. Good, but not amazing.
Julie Walters character is a vile person, but well acted. Ralph Whelan's character is very good. I'm trying to work out what his brother-in-law has on him though because a guy with that kind of power could surely do all sorts to him for beating his sister and easily get away with it? :shrug:
It seems very popular though. Perhaps it's just the 2nd series?
Terry - That Jeremy Bamber is a strange one, I love when the documentaries come on about serial killers. I must live in the only town that doesn't have a Tesco! We did, then they shut it.
I am binge watching The Walking Dead. I remember watching it the first time round, watched about 3 eps and then just dropped it. But I am loving it now. It's really strange hearing Andrew Lincolns deep south accent when he will always be Egg from This Life to me. And should be with Milly!! I've got a few seasons to go till I'm up to date.
Genoire - You'll love Better Call Saul, that is brilliant and I think only 2 seasons. But most of the characters in Breaking Bad appear (apart from Jesse and Walter). Wasn't it brilliant what happened to Gus???? Best scene or episode of Breaking Bad!

On the book cover he looks like Mr Spock!
Jeffrey Deaver has a new book out and the name of the forensic expert was Lincoln something, which rang a bell from The Bone Collector film pulisa mentioned, and inside it does show he wrote that story too. It's worth a watch.

Fear Thy Neighbor-- on the third season already, purchased from Amazon. So, so good! At first I thought it would be about the secret murderer/pedophile next door, but it's actually about these insane neighbor feuds! Normal people without criminal records who end up hating each other so much that murdeer usually occurs. I love reenactment, and it's just really entertaining to see just how far people will go when fighting over the smallest, most insignificant things.

Watched an episode of Steve Backshall's Fierce tonight. Thought it was a good programme. I've seen some of his before and enjoyed them.
Given up pretty much on Drive. Vernon Kay is a plonker anyway with his silly excuses for his private life so it's perhaps poorly timed. The programme is ok, it's just been done a lot before and doesn't stand out. The night race is pants, the previous challenges are harder than that and proven by Louie Walsh who was terrible, but ok at the night race!
'The Durells', such a disappointment; they could have done so much with this storyline.
Loved the 'Billy Connelly' 2 part USA programme.
Laughed out loud at the old clips of 'Acorn Antiques' when they showed the best of Victoria Wood.

Orphan Black, really good and different
We started watching "The 60's" by the same team that produced "The 70's" on Netflix. They're very well done and it's interesting going back and re-living a time when I grew up. We're a couple of episodes into the 60's series and I have to say I'm appalled and embarrassed by the way the US behaved concerning Civil Rights. The hate spewed then is similar to what I'm seeing now coming from the GOP nominee.
What I saw as well is a very interesting and disturbing similarity in the way George Wallace ran his campaign as an independent and the way Trump is running his campaign.

My mum likes Vera so I got her a couple of the books as she loves reading.
The wife and I have been watching "Love it or Leave it". It's a show about homeowners who are torn between staying in their current home or moving. They bring in a realtor and an interior designer. They look at new homes and a re-design of their current home and decide to stay or go. It's cool seeing all the different homes and the renovation but.... the money most of these people have? Holy smokes! Most have over $100K for renovations and are looking at homes in the $1 Million dollar range! Heck... I sweat paying less than $1K in rent and utilities ~lol~

Yes, that's her. She gets around quite a bit, she had a staring role in the Tom Cruise film, Oblivion. That was a pretty big sci-fi film.
CH4 have clearly spent some money on this drama. It felt a little slow at first but once it started I felt like I understood more.
I've always liked Robbie Coltrane. I can still see him now in Nuns On The Run with Eric Idle ("spectacles, testicles, wallet & watch" :biggrin:) and with Lenny Henry (where he kept beating Lenny Henry up, the drug dealer) as the drugs worker.
Robbie Coltrane was brilliant in one of the 'Bond' movies. Just can't remember which one.

It does seem that the hit rate for modern sitcoms is way off the amount of good sitcoms we used to get.
There are funny sitcoms nowadays but it just feels there are more failures than successes.
Recent comedy I liked was Friday Night Dinner.
"Paranoid" on ITV-it's a bit ridiculous but the main issues are inappropriate prescribing of antipsychotics for anxiety/crooked psychiatrists and a dodgy pharmaceutical company in Dusseldorf. And a couple of murders so far.

---------- Post added at 09:13 ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 ----------
I also got into it via my Dad.
You can't beat old comedies and sitcoms. :yesyes:
Yep, some of them never seem to age. There is a pub in my city with a replica of the van on the roof!
I quite like Porridge as well, that another that doesn't age.
Yes, I agree on LOTSW and Dads Army.
There are loads of good old comedies. Steptoe & Son, One Foot In The Grave, Only When I Laugh, On The Buses, etc. (Did the female clippies really dress like that?! :dribble:)
They are still showing On The Buses...
I used to watch Till Death Us Do Part & In Sickness & In Health with Alf - a woman’s place is in the 'ome innit- Garnett but you never come across it these days. Too un pc probably.:unsure: They brought it back for that celebration of British comedy earlier this year but, for me, it just doesn't work with anybody but Warren & Dandy.
I like The Likely Lads as well..
Terry Collier: I'd offer you a beer, but I've only got six cans.

They tend to put the film of Alf on at Xmas but it's always buried in the middle of the night on one of the ITV channels...so as not to upset the SJW's. :winks:
It does make me laugh, and the thing is the actors are always actually taking the piss out of people who talk like that anyway in how they play the role. Sadly, some people have a problem watching "how things used to be", yet they don't mind all the violence in films? :shrug:
It always makes me laugh when Damnbusters is on and they have to announce there is racially offensive language in it...the name of the dog. Yet violence is fine? :doh: I'm quite surprised it's not "in PC" to show us kicking the German's bums in films these days.

Till Death US Do Part was basically about taking the mick out of Alf but a lot of people don't get that.:unsure:
It's like Enid Blyton's books have been edited to to keep the PC brigade happy and that's fair enough but for me they were books of their time and they have their place in children's literature along with other classics which incidentally haven't been touched.:huh: I go out and buy the originals because those are the ones I grew up with. It was Dick and Fanny for me, not Rick and Franny! If they want to truly reflect today's child, they'd need to be called Five Go To McDonald's or Five and the Mystery of the Missing X Box Controller.:roflmao:

If we want to take out everything in history that doesn't fit with today's society, they may as well take history off the curriculum.:whistles:

I'm surprised James & The Giant Peach hasn't been edited because of body shaming and women's bums, Jamie & the Magic Torch for possibly being about his willy. From the titles, anyway.
Five Go To McDonald's :roflmao: That sounds like a reality TV spin off for the boyband too.

Molly Weasley calls Beatrix Lestrange a "bitch" in The Deathly Hallows. I'm putting a complaint in.:D
Another one, Open All Hours. I'm watching that as well on Gold. Ronnie Barker is just hilarious as Arkwright!:roflmao:
Not as taken with the Still Open All Hours though...

Ha! Don't forget Ron, he's always swearing 'bloody hell, Harry!'. I think he does that from the very first of the films. Where was the magical floating slipper that came along and whacked him? :D
I love Open All Hours. Arkwright is tight, but that till is even tighter!

I didn't like the new one, the pilot was terrible. I got into it a bit more as it went on. The new Granville character is a totally waste of time though. To be honest, they could ditch him as Tim Heally's character is in it just as much anyway.
Have you seen the big picture of Arkwright in the back room? When I saw the look on his face I thought someone must have asked him for a refund! :roflmao:

Somebody has DEFINITELY asked him for a refund. That or Nurse Gladys has told him to buy Granville a new bike lol
Yeah, the new one doesn't really work for me. The funniest thing about it is Madge. I think they got it wrong trying to make Granville like Arkwright.:unsure:
MyNameIsTerry
07-11-16, 11:45
Yeah, it felt too much like a copy. Some of the extra characters are a bit poor as well.
Is Madge Roy Cropper's mum out of Corrie? I can't remember! :ohmy: If so, yes, she was good in it...still a predator for the men who are thrifty. :biggrin:
The old one is on the Yesterday channel at 10pm every night. It has been for a couple of weeks now, followed by Keeping Up Appearances. Allo Allo was on too after that for a while but I think it's gone off now. 'oooohhhh Rennie!!!' Her Flick made me laugh in that when Von Smallhausen let someone off because they hadn't done something and Her Flick told him 'we are the Gestapo, if they haven't done something, invent something and arrest them' :roflmao:
Just reading through these replies oh yes I know what you mean think todays society is way to PC IMHO
so don't get me started on that LOL :) Other shows I really liked and still do (some have been mentioned earlier) But the On The Buses Movies 3 in total excellent viewing :) And Prisoner Cell Block H Mint I remember first seeing but not from the start but never missed a episode and relalised take the adverts out and each episode was only 36 mins long we were robbed!! Any way moved to Chester HTV area and to celebrate the first day of 24 hr tv in that area HTV started the series from day one I was over the moon :) Anyone else enjoyed this show?? I have friend who has the complete series on DVD!! Happy Days! Have a great day every one...

Me & my brother used to watch Cell Block H many years ago. I was pretty young and he would be coming back from the pub with a takeaway. At the last place I worked there was a guy who was a real fan, he used to go to the events with other fans and met some of the cast.
I haven't seen the new on though. What do you make of that? It looks a bit more modern (everyone has to be good looking), so no Lurch!
Does 'Owd Grandad Piggott ring a bell for you from years ago?

Been watching a great deal of Only Fools and Horses on GOLD at the moment.
Just perfect comedy.
Anyone see Planet Earth 2 last night? Incredible TV.

Going slightly OT on to radio does any one remember Piccadilly Radio now called Key 103 well they often played a peice of classical music (Dorvak Symphony no 9) You know the music to the old Hovis advert Well Picadilly Radio devised some dialouge over this music it was called Capstick Comes Home I know every word and it's funny!!! :)

Some other showsI like only available on the BBC IPlayer is called the Train Now Deprarting still available for over a year so if any likes steam trains this is a must see :) I regualry watch them and never tire of them it takes my mind off this crazy world we live in :)

Dark Angel. New drama on ITV. Good so far.
If does remind me a little of a local case of a man who's father drank in the same pub as mine. The woman was found to be slowly poisoning his son with anti freeze. It did some terrible damage to him, it left him blind.
Watched the 2nd part of this, the conclusion. It was as good as the first.
It said at the end she murdered between 13-21 people, per historians, maybe more. I think I saw 2 husbands, her mother, her friend, her on/off lover, her stepson from the last marriage (whilst she was still married to the wealthy man who booted her out as she stole off him). Her daughter died by accidental poisoning after she gave her smaller doses to aid her in killing her wealthy husbands other children (which didn't happen), but this is probably an interpretation considering how cold she had been to her daughter in the past so she probably murdered her too.
Her first 2 kids (one baby) seemed to die from typhus, or typhoid, but some of the murder victims were pronounced with this too, so did she murder them and it wasn't portrayed that way?
It was also a bit unclear when she moved her on/off lover in after her latest husband (her she killed her sister to obtain stability once her wealthy husband gave her the sack) and there was no portrayal of how that would look back in those days. Just reading about this, it seems she tried to put the kid into the poorhouse as he was in the way but the local parish man refused. Also reading about it revealed she poisoned his father but all the programme showed was they brought him back from the pit and when she turned up he was already dead. So, that didn't make sense as I blinked and missed her poisoning him as he was fine. :shrug:
The part where the shop owner bought her stepson back complaining she had sent him to fetch arsenic was strange. I missed part of this because, funnily enough, my dad had made me a cup of tea :ohmy: but it seemed to be that she was saying she would end up in the poor house so wanted to spare her stepson which would mean more murder?
They didn't show other murders. One to read about then.
She very cold and calculating but could react too.
Oh, and there a fair bit of sex that made me think it was an early Geordie Shore :D
Basically...she was quite a bitch! :noangel:

Teachers is a good new US comedy on comedy central. Also though its an awful reality TV show, I'm enjoying Russell Howard and his Mums US trip show.
Black Mirror on netflix is the best show around at the moment though, pure Charlie Brooker genius.

Don't need to be having extra anxiety for no reason on top of what I already have:blush::blush:

Carol Vorderman (hence pulisa taking the pee out of me :blush:), one of the blokes from Diversity (Jordan Banjo), Moira's son out of Emmerdale, Wayne Bridge ex footballer, Larry Lamb (EastEnders, Gavin & Stacy), a comedian I've seen occasionally on 8 of out 10 cats (I think) Joel somebody, Scarlett off Gogglebox (probably this years winner :doh:), Ola Jordan ex Strictly dancer, one of the women's hockey gold medalists and Lisa Snowden ex model.
I think Danny Baker and Martin thingy off Homes Under The Hammer are due to go in later.

I draw the line at Ann Widdecombe though! :ohmy:
Two more will go in later. Think one of them is Danny Baker.
I was a bit disappointed in the line up of so called celebs and the characters seemed a little dull. Early days yet, but agree with Terry that Scarlett looks like the potential winner, but also think that Larry Lamb stands a good chance.
Terry, I bumped in to Carol Vorderman at an airport some years back and she nearly knocked me over with her ar*e :D I'm just jealous really, I think she looks amazing.

Do you watch the Extra Camp show on ITV straight after celeb has finished As there was 2 guests in one I knew straight away Andi Peter's a ex blue peter presenter and if Iam remember correctly he also had a game show on ITV with a sliding chair on rails that tipped over if you lost LOL The woman with him I cant remeber her name? I may be wrong these may have been ex camp m8's from a previous season.
The Homes under the hammer presenter is Martin Roberts :)

I couldn't stop looking at Carol's face...what a shame she's had so much work done, she looks like a pillow :(
But, she has a great figure and is a foxy lady for sure.
I agree Carnation, the line up is pretty dull! Glad there's no Essex or Geordie Shore in there. That's been done to death! I quite like Larry Lamb so far, not keen on Ola, Scarlett is a likely winner, but predictable, Adam Thomas is extremely arrogant (met him and his brother at my work place a few times) Not really got thoughts on the others so far.
Shall look forward to the trials :)

Tonight, im catching up on 2 weeks Humans and trying to decide whether to watch the BBC Doc about the worst ever president or not ??
Why does CV have to take her "MBE" into the show? What's the point? "Must Be Everywhere" syndrome?
If I am honest, I got a little bored watching 'Celebrity Jungle'.
Let's hope it improves with time.
Mr C's eyes nearly popped out when he saw CV's breast heaving from her tiny bikini.
He can't wait for the shower scene. :D
I am watching spongebob with m daughter.

Watching The Call of the Wild in the ward with my kids,my daughter loves all different types of dogs.
