faraway saint Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Aye, over 6M people think McIntyres worth watching. Wonder how many viewers watch Bernard Mannings Blackpool Show..................except DJ? As I said, plenty decent stuff on mainstream, Blue Planet to name one. Thanks feck we're not all the same, what a dull world that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, 800 channels, 790 are shite, and you talk about quantity? You're having a howler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 What y'all should watch out for is The Morecambe & Wise stage show that C5 have shown around Hogmanay/Ne'erday for the last two years. M&W always kept the content of their stage & TV shows different and while there is some overlap I found it a lot fresher than the TV compilations that are normally shown around the festive season - a masterclass in comic timing. As an aside Bernard Manning had great timing too, it was just a shame so much of his material was offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 There's quite a few TV series on Netflix and Amazon that are worth a watch, but why would anybody pay for them when you can download them for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 The league of gentlemen - new episodes been on the last three nights.Hysterically funny, sick, cutting, gross, commentary.Brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Right now.....................BBC1....................Male Rape: Breaking the Silence. The stats are, TBH, quite surprising. The "stats" don't refer to rape in the opening credits. My concern is how the term "sexual abuse" is actually manifested. I wouldn't minimise any rape, man or woman, but it seems that any sexual (whatever that means) approach is being termed as abuse. I was so concerned about the recent allegations I didn't "cuddle" any female members of my staff to say "have a nice Christmas"................I could have appeared on News at Ten.

FTOF Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Just finished watching the last episode in the first series of Snowfall. In the words of the BBC - Hard-hitting drama about the beginnings of the crack epidemic in 1980s Los Angeles. Brilliant characters and groovy 80's tunes. Well worth a watch, if you're bored with Xmas TV. On i Player - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0991bqd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up there with Taboo in terms of gritty, but enjoyable entertainment. Edited December 21, 2017 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Christmas TV wasn't great, the majority I happened to see was aimed a children which, although repetitive, suppose does what it sets out to do. Watched most of an interesting programme about a mother polar bear taking her 2 cubs to feeding grounds. Was ok but really missed the "Attenborough" factor.
