Pity, I was going to rag in my subscription. Good, now maybe they will start showing programmes that the UK is good at. Now we are winning at Bobsleigh, and Skeleton, they have stopped showing it, preferring Luge which only the Germans are good at, and figure skating rather than short track speed skating or Ice Hockey, How do we expect to get better at Hockey when no-one broadcasts it here in the UK.

Wolford6 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The winning selections on Sky Portrait Artist of the Year are just as infuriating as those on Sky Landscape Artist of the Year.

gingerjon Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Finally got round to watching Jessica Jones. Not watched any other Marvel Universe stuff so no idea how it all fits in but as a stand-alone series it's really rather good. Downbeat, sorta-superhero, neo-noir. Enjoyed it. 3 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Amber Avenger Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Loved Jessica Jones, had a very Buffy/Angel vibe and though David Tennant was a good villain in it. Just finished Luke Cage and by far the biggest slog of the Netflix marvels so far. Wasn't that keen on the idea of Iron Fist either but the trailer looks good so I'll give it a go when it's out.

Futtocks Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) I've been enjoying Further back in Time for Dinner throughout the series. It is refreshing to see reality TV stars who aren't hyperactive, infantile attention seekers, but just a rather likeable and intelligent family, plus the ultra-competent hired help Debbie. A fine example of the 'edutainment' neologism. Edited February 21, 2017 by Futtocks Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Liverpool Rover Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I haven't seen it mentioned on here but has anyone else been watching Taboo.

Griff9of13 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I predict Curries doing a roaring trade in new TVs in the morning. On ITV now: Piers Morgan's Life Stories; Nigel Farage. I know if I was to put it on my foot would be through the screen in seconds. "it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it."
