What have you watched on TV?

sexist. :omg:

Why? In my eyes some literary characters should remain the sex they are - works both ways. A male Jane Eyre? I think not.

Dr Who isn't really a literary character, he's a fictional character than can be reinvented/resdesigned to serve a cultural purpose. So he can be black, gay, disabled, female. He's an alien, and as in the last episode, the faces we wear are what we want to see...

Just finished Fargo - brilliant. Really want to see the film again now.

It's worth re-watching the film to realise how it ties together.

Gomorrah on Sky Atlantic is top draw. If you like crime/gangster thrillers, this is the ticket.

Saw Last Chance Academy on Panorama earlier tonight.

Although I trained as a Remedial teacher, I'm glad I decided against doing that sort of teaching.

Christ no chance. I haven't got that artistic edge.

GBB off! Will the part 2 show who took Ian's ice cream out? I am thinking the older lady did it and if so I believe she should have "walked" instead of Ian as an honourable thing to do.
And if the Scots vote YES will they be excluded from taking part? Or receiving BBC transmissions?

question for those who have seen it which I will put in spoilers for the benefit of those who haven't...

  Spoiler:  

When Malvo went on that 'test drive' in the final episode and tied the car dealer to the steering wheel so that he could sneak up on the FBI wallies, did he end up killing the car dealer? I was really hoping not, having remembered him from one of the early episodes when he was trying to buy insurance off Lester.

Also, a little quibble - Lester's circumstances in the year between killing his wife and the events of the last three episodes - they changed remarkably quickly didn't they?

I thought there were two of them involved in removing it and either could have made sure it went back. Neither did. Ian had to go, if he'd just kept something back to present he would have stayed, it was a moment of madness and it cost him.

I thought it was pretty poor that 4 of them seemed to be sharing a huge chest freezer while the rest of them seemed to be sharing a much smaller and harder to get at upright freezer! There should have been clearly allocated freezer space, hell, on Masterchef they would have had blast chillers. Each!!!

Apparantly Ian's ice cream was out of the freezer for no longer than 40 seconds, so I've got less sympathy for him now. It was obviously not going to freeze in time. Jocko Norman is obviously going next, he's wayyyyy out of his depth.

No, I agree, it was in trouble before it went in. Him or Diana, Norman is very safe but unspectacular. I think Mary likes him much better than Paul does.

Rob, last night's star baker comes across as a good bloke, Kate is doing well too.

None of them were Baked Alaskas. Kick them all out.

You definitely should!

Halfway through series two already. I won't be able to make this last another month. Other recommendations for a plane journey required please.
