What have you watched on TV?

[Yorkshire Blue]

Hostages. It's on iPlayer and worth check out. Bonkers and ridiculous, but enjoyable.

Yes, completely bonkers.

Held hostage, you have a phone and internet access but don't try to summon help.

Blimey!

Maybe it's an age thing but I really can't remember what was so different from the ending in the book (my excuse is I read it in hardback) and the TV version.:cricko:


Pm me with the difference if you like.

Blimey. I've only just seen this. Apologies, but I can't now remember either. I just remember there being a difference, although I could also be mistaken!

I had that recommended to me. My wife and I watched the first episode a few nights ago. I think I'll watch more, but I'm not really into reading my TV!

Only Connect - got an answer on the first clue in R1 which was very pleasing.

Then did **** all on the connecting walls, which wasn't :dim:

Am I the only one that thinks Anne Miller of the QI Elves is really quite nice?

 

[Uncle Leo]

Gotham is back. It's really not very good, but easy enough fare for a weekday evening.

I'm sorry to bring the tone down, but we allowed our boys to watch You've Been Framed before bedtime on Saturday (IIRC). They loved it, and were in hysterics all the way through.

That said they're only 5 and 6. Which says a lot about the mental age of many adults in this country if that programme is still popular.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoyed Britain's Racist Election on C4 the other night.Excellent documentary.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Thoroughly enjoyed the excellent BBC4 documentary on Sister Rosetta Tharpe last night.:thumbsup:

Following 'Banished' on BBC2. Jimmy McGovern written drama about convicts transported to New South Wales. Gritty stuff as you would expect from Jimmy's pen.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Saturday Night Takeaway followed by Back in the Room - so many laughs tonight on both!

You've been framed is always quality TV.

I always wonder how that show has survived so long, they still pay £250 if they show your video clip which seems mad when they could use so many for free from YouTube, Vine, etc.!

By not tracking inflation.

Anyone else been watching Nurse on BBC2? Esther Coles plays a community support nurse, with most of her patients played by the brilliant Paul Whitehouse in a variety of different guises.

Probably just about classed under comedy, but more than that. Funny, warm and touching all at the same time, one of the best shows so far this year.

 

[LCBB72]

Portillos State Secrets on BBC2 , very interesting .

 

[Uncle Leo]

My friend Angela (4th in the last series) is on Masterchef tonight, so will be watching that for once.

Gold are repeating Cheers right from the start - two episodes every weekday. I've only ever seen occasional episodes so am planning on ploughing all the way through it now - 275 episodes!

[Tangled up in Blue]

The election debates.Thought EM did OK.

Poor woman. Got to eat some right *****!

Poor woman. Got to eat some right *****!

She was quite diplomatic wasn't she? Not sure she's mean enough to have a future as a judge. She says the chocolate fondant actually was really good though!
