What have you watched on TV?

Dexter season 6,going great as it always does and also watched the pilot for a yank horror/cop thing call Grim,not bad.

Catching up with Top Boy which is absolute quality. It's a shame they can't stretch something as good as this into a UK Sopranos affair.

Rev - superb, subtle and very very funny.

Life Is Short - brilliant, absolutely brilliant from the very first episode. Liam Neeson was absolutely sensational. This shows why Gervais & Merchant are on their way to being absolute comedy legends. (Up yours OBL!)

Agreed on both of those - no idea how Rev has been received generally, but I think it's fantastic and it feels like series 1 was a bit overlooked.

Life is Short was ****ing incredible, further proof of M&G's comedy genius. Hope the AIDS jokes upset loads of pompous old reactionaries too. *****.

Loving Season 6, I thought it was going to go down the predictable Christian bashing route but the insanity of Olmos is offset by the goodness of Brother Sam - interesting stuff. I also love the dynamic between Deb and Quinn, do you reckon they'll get back together? Is Dexter still banging his on-screen sister in real life?

I watched a documentary about The Dambusters. It was pretty good.

Nearly keyed my neighbours beemer afterwards.

Sorry Karl most of those questions are to deep for me but i know that dex and deb are no longer together in real life but i think he looks good after beating cancer.

He's looking so healthy I'd forgotten he had it. I'm missing the little blonde intern.

Anybody see the Martin Scorcese doc film George Harrison: Living In The Material World on BBC2? Superb stuff, 3½ hours of archive footgae, new & old interviews, photo's & music. Very moving too, I loved it.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Started watching the first series of The Walking Dead, liking it so far.

Unfortunately the last episode (Series 2) was the final one where Darabont and his team of writers have anything to do with it and it (allegedly) goes rapidly downhill. Touch wood this has been exaggurated as it is "must see TV" at the moment.

It was indeed, it's on iPlayer I think and there's already a dvd out.


Oh yes, on another subject I saw the last 30mins of Pearl Jam Twenty on BBC4 on friday night, very good and after that they showed an early 90s episode of The Late Show featuring US bands playing live in a studio inc Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, REM, RatM, Smashing Pumpkins, excellent stuff.

My wife watched Coronation Street last night and cried her eyes out when Schmiechel died. Strange how when Ashley and the other bird died no one seems to care but when a dog dies it’s so sad.

 

[Bluesmanager]

Only in the north will you find a dog named after a race car driver.

Was it a German Shepard?

And wasn't that the case for Wellard from Eastenders?

 

[Berrichonne shrimper]

The dog was named after a ex man utd goalkeeper and was a great dane.

I've been watching a number of the documentaries about American culture on BBC4 lately, Rich Hall's one about road movies was a highlight (if slightly depressing). Last night's 'American Nomads' was a partuicularly good one, ranging from hippies to Rodeo riders although I think they missed a trick not doing a section on long distance truckers. Couldn't help but like Cumphrey the teenage hobo (reminded me of 'Into the Wild) who seemed remarkably level headed and Yogi the mountain man in California who was the spit of Jeff Bridges.

I saw the Russell Brand one which was amusing.
