What have you watched on TV?

[OldBlueLady]

Sorry Kay but that advert was terrible all that build up just for that!!!

It's a wonderful advert! Even so, that awful Cravendale one beat others that are also far better like the Cadburys one

or the Lynx Fallen Angels one

Angelos' show on Channel 4 was so bad I turned it off at half time. Abysmal.

Agreed H. Great Expectations is my favourite Dickens novel so I had high hopes for this and wasn't disappointed.

I agree as well Anderson and Winstone top notch

 

[MK Shrimper]

Charlie Brooker was top class as usual, with an interesting angle from a contributor about Rupert Murdoch painting him as the attacker of the British class system.

Sarah Palin: You betcha! - Fascinating, if not a bit scary documentary from Nick Broomfield. Pray that this devious, lying harridan stays far, far away from the top job in the US or it'll be goodnight in a nuclear winter as it's "end of days". :stunned:

I'm hoping the latest adaptation of Treasure Island will be as good as Great Expectations.

Was it? Forgot about that as Mrs MK watched a fat woman die in bed.

Sherlock was top quality telly as usual.

Watching it now, the pleasure of Sky+ I can fast forward through the ad breaks, of which there are many. But pretty good so far.

Agrree about Sherlock, top notch.

I loved the bit where he laid in to some of those terrible adverts. "How do you like your coffee?" "Thrown in your face".

Brooker is the man, want another series of newswipe please!

You're pretty special Pubey, but not even you can do that on live TV.

Whilst we're on adverts, please allow me to apologise for those dreadful Ladbrokes adverts with that Italian berk Tiziano. I think the number of people in head office who like them can be counted on the thumbs of one hand.

Sherlock was top quality telly as usual.

Nothing else on TV quite like it, the quality of the directing is head and shoulders above any other drama on TV and the editing is so slick it's almost perfect. Wonderfully written and performed, I think another BAFTA may be heading Sherlock's way this year.

 

[Bluesmanager]

My facebook page hates Sherlock right now (I don't though - bloody love that sociopath and Bilbo).

I suspect having an uber-fangirl for anything involving a remotely fit-ish guy in (such as Sherlock, or Firefly, or Castle) as a Facebook friend may be why.

On a Sherlock tip, the saucy minx who played Irene maybe a Shrimper as she was born on the Essex Riveria. :thumbsup:

She was got twice as hot as she already was, and thats saying something! As well as being attractive she absolutely nailed that part yesterday!

 

[Bluesmanager]

"Essex Rivera" my foot, she's a full blown Saffie according to Wikipedia.

And one of the finer looking ones at that - damn the BBC for wanting it rated 12.

Anyone else see(part 1 of) The Grammar School:A Secret History on BBC4 last night?Interesting stuff.As someone who finally made it to WHS in the 6th form,I've always had rather ambivalent feelings about Grammar schools.I'm prepared to accept,reluctantly,that they were an escape route from humble backgrounds for many working class kids,especially in the immediate post-war era but only at a huge social cost(as Richard Hoggart and others have pointed out).Look forward to seeing the second part next week.
