hindle xiii Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Does anyone watch any of those American programmes on Discovery and/or Nat Geo that are basically people going about their jobs? There's cake making, pawn shop, car tuning/ruining, building custom bikes, making guns, tuna fishing, other fishing, driving a truck, lumber jacks, going to storage, antiques and somehow they all end up the same show.

Bedford Roughyed Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Moonshiners was a good one. Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, Restoration Man, American Pickers, Cajan Pawn Stars, Swamp People, Axmen, Ice Road Truckers, Gold Rush.... I get to watch them all at work...Bangla Bangers was a fave from a while ago. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Does anyone watch any of those American programmes on Discovery and/or Nat Geo that are basically people going about their jobs? There's cake making, pawn shop, car tuning/ruining, building custom bikes, making guns, tuna fishing, other fishing, driving a truck, lumber jacks, going to storage, antiques and somehow they all end up the same show. Such variety. Look at the Food Network. They seem to have only two varieties of show. 1. People making cupcakes. 2. People going to diners and eating unreasonably large portions of junk food, while making fake gang signs with their fingers and overusing the word 'awesome'.

hindle xiii Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Or preparing for Doomsday That's different, I watched the first two episodes of Doomsday Preppers, it's amusing. Paranoid Americans stock-piling a decades' worth of food and guns.I just have one question for them; they're preparing for "what if", well what if "what if" never happens? Still, funny old world.

AuroraXIII Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 room at the top was good on BBC4 last night. Did you think so? Apart from a couple of performances I thought it was a bit clunky. Although most of the reviews this morning were positive so I could be out of step! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Finaly watched both series of Game Of Thrones, very impressive, good story, northerners, bad guys, good guys, guys who are bad and good, blood, gore, humour and sex. All boxes ticked!

Amber Avenger Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 So many people have told me to get into Game of Thrones, but I just don't get it myself. Watched the first two or three episodes a few times in a vein attempt to get into it, but to no avail. Shame as I do want to like it (it looks superb on Blu Ray), but just one of those things I guess. My current obsession is Breaking Bad. No spoilers please, but just finished Season 3 and I thought the last two episodes were some of the best tv I have ever seen. Getting Season 4 at the weekend and am quite excited.

Futtocks Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm sure there are a fair few on here that would have enjoyed Speed Dreams: The Fastest Place on Earth, last night on BBC2. It follows six British teams and their speed record attempts, five on bikes, one in a car. A lot of footage of hairy blokes in sheds, tinkering with a pretty wide range of machinery. The first episode ended with them arriving at the Bonneville Salt Flats, so next week we'll see whether they succeed or fail.
