I feared she'd be too stoic as she seems sometimes but she was completely rolling in it! I felt reassured it wasn't another Top Gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did several excellent years on the News Quiz, so she's got form in panel games. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Futtocks Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 This week's 'Parts Unknown' visits England. A good episode, but probably not one for the Brexiteers.

ckn Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 So, in return for my attempt at humourous trolling of members in my two posts above, the universe has repaid me my having my wife fall asleep just before the Walking Dead. She's not feeling well and this is one of the very few programmes we watch together.

bobbruce Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I don't know if anyone's mentioned it but the first episode of The Exorcist was very good as well. So that's Westworld,The Walking Dead and The Exorcist on series record. That should get me through until the NRL and SL are back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindle xiii Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Mixed effort for TWD, without giving spoilers but the "dream" elements were just daft. And the last scene was oddly laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckn Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Finally got around to watching it, day off today and tomorrow. Damn that was a dark episode with little to make it "entertainment".

Jasper Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Recommend the four part series 'Inside the Commons' from BBC2. Just finished this week but available on I-player. Filmed over the course of a year with unparalleled access to the House of Commons. Interesting and an eye opener as it follows mp's, civil servants and 'ordinary' people who work there. What struck me was how little power individual mp's have unless part of the cabinet/shadow cabinet and how unfit for purpose the house of parliament building is.

Futtocks Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I found some episodes of Iron Chef Japan on YouTube, complete with the cheesy American dubbed commentary.

Mark S Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The 2nd series of Humans, looks like the producers have been given a much bigger budget and have been desperate to spent it. They have also gone for a quicker pace compared to the first series. Will give it another try and see if it sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, despite watching the first series and sort of enjoying it, I'm not exactly desperate to see the second. Not really sure where they can take it. It's been getting decent reviews, but then so did the first and I thought I was seeing a different show. I thought it was OK, but not exactly amazing. SQL Honours Play off mini league winner - 2002.

I agree, really interesting series that illuminated how ridiculously outdated and 'for show' much of what passes for our democracy really is. It's rather appropriate that the Palace of Westminster is falling to bits around them, and they can't make their minds up what to do about it. .

Northern Eel Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) Racer snakes Vs Sea-going Iguanas on Planet Earth 2 (BBC 1 now). Absolutely incredible footage. You'd think by now the BBC (and anyone else for that matter) would have explored pretty much every angle of nature, but this new series is once again pushing the boundaries of factual entertainment to new levels. Penguins surviving the roughest seas, walking 2 miles with broken limbs/seeping wounds to feed their young, Iguanas hatching on beaches and having an immediate life or death pursuit to escape the predatory snakes in order to get to the relative safety of the rocky outcrop, and sloths swimming! Take a bow BBC.... Edited November 6, 2016 by Northern Eel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
