faraway saint Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Jamestown, S2 E6 has turned into, from nowhere, a horror film. I'm afraid I'm struggling to stick with it as it seems like the writers have been blootered one night and decided to shoot off in a direction that's nonsense. Very disappointing.

shull Posted April 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Limmy is back on tonight. Haven't chuckled at any of his material. Won't be watching. Will be watching, Not Going Out and Still Game. My kind of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be watching, Not Going Out and Still Game. My kind of humour. On one of my returns to Scotland I watched the Scottish Cup highlights and having heard good things, watched Limmy's Show straight after. I haven't watched it again since, I didn't find any of it funny and I'm one who's usually easily amused. Thankfully, BBC Southwest (probably all of England too) actually has the decency to show this series of Still Game, and a couple of lads at work can also appreciate the brilliance of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Just finished watching Episode 6 of Civilisations recorded from BBC4 a reboot of the classic 60s series Civilisation - while the first five presented by Simon Schama and Mary Beard sequentially were all a bit meh E6 (First Contact) presented by David Olusoga was electrifying - explaining how the empire building of European nations following the Middle Ages affected art in both conquered & conquering societies. His explanation of the significance of El Greco's The Disrobing of Christ was worth the licence fee itself - can't wait for Episode 8! The programme compared the arrival of Europeans to Mexico & the Aztec Empire with that of their arrival in Japan & the Shogun one.. **************** The Aztecs were all but wiped out culturally but the Japanese and their art survive here is a copy of Okyo's Cracked Actor Ice which incorporates 3d into traditional Japanese art. ********************** It continued with the replacement of God by Mammon and the representation of this in the intimacy of Vermeer's art which celebrates humanism. and finished with the triumphal Company Paintings commissioned by the East India Company - wonder what he's smoking. It is available on DVD, Blue Ray and Digital Download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Well that post killed the thread stone dead! Coupla comedies on at the moment that I find funny Cunk on Britain - co-written by Carlie Brooker it's a review of British history by Diane Morgan's alter ego. Young Sheldon - much funnier than the parent show TBBT these days! I am a mighty Saint Murn Fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 The Queens Green Planet, ITV now, I'm afraid the legend that is Attenborough isn't half as sharp in "normal conversation" as he is when it's scripted. The first 5 minutes were embarrassing, he was on another planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I've been flicking over to watch snippets of the London Marathon. Seems it's more The Mo Farah show. Seems to me the focus is massively on Farah, who I have great admiration for, rather than the majority of runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 The Island................with Bear Grylls. Bear, what a fud of a name,comes across as a total arsehole. There's obviously so many situations that are set up................ The snake for tea............ The chicken that just appears in front of them........... The mandatory poor caiman crocodile................ Poor wee pigs sent into an area to be killed................... Nets, wow, always found on a desert island.................. Only interesting thing is the interaction, although reasonably obvious, between the stranded punters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) All female version of Julius Caeser directed by our homegirl Phyllida Law. I remember her in Play School. Quote Phyllida Law, presenter It was chaotic: filming five 30-minute programmes in two days. Although you had scripts, you improvised a lot. And you had to sing, of course, without laughing. I was permanently hysterical. I'd be terrified going in, wondering if I'd get through all the stress. But if I got frustrated, I'd just punch Hamble , the doll with the squashed face. She couldn't sit up and that's not helpful. Edited June 17, 2018 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 BBC currently running another "hose pipe ban" story...................... Only when the item is close to ending do they mention it's not a lack of water, it's a problem processing the water fast enough to get to the public. Usual pish poor reporting.
