Jeff Stein Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 ITV seemed to be attempting to get into the Guinness Book of Records for the most shows over a festive period with celebrity in the title. Still it has meant we have been able to concentrate on boardgames and watching the wonderful Alistair Sim as Scrooge on Talking Pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, a decent showing by the second-best choir in a modestly-sized East Anglian city. I think an handfull a the younger ones were showing off during the descant part at end of o come ,all yee faithful, trying to outdo the 6 older lads. i once sang solo (once in royal davids city) in middle of a packed dewsbury town center in 1965 aged 9, i had 3 great years in st mattews choir and me and my mate andrew did lots of weddings at half a crown a pop. who do you rate as the best choir if kings are second?

I haven't enjoyed the newer family guys quite the same as older ones though they are still very funny. I just love anything made by Aardman, Wallace and Gromit being top of the list of course but yeah, all their stuff. Very annoyed Chicken Run 2 is being made for Netflix seen as I don't have that platform, just hope it comes out on Blu-Ray very soon afterwards. All the creature comforts and angry kids are on YouTube if you fancy a real laugh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St John's, their great rivals just along the road. But their chapel, while pleasant enough, is not nearly as telegenic as King's. 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Bleep1673 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 TV Chefs always have an orgasm when they taste their own food, but has anyone any example of the opposite, where a Chef has spat out their own, or some other chefs food?

There have been more than a few moments on Masterchef when something's gone badly wrong, and the judges bluntly say "I can't eat this". Plus there's the time when Anthony Bourdain was in Japan and got served his own personal nightmare - natto. But, in general, if TV chefs mess up really badly, there are always re-takes.

tim2 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I just watched the Paul Gascoigne documentary today. A highlight reel of the most talented footballer to pull on the England shirt mixed with stuff that genuinely made me cry. Him witnessing his friend's brother's death as a young boy, cradling him as he died. The realisation, twice, that he was seriously injured. His spiral into drink and paranoia after 11 years of his phone being hacked and him being estranged from everyone who loved him as a result. All he ever knew and all he wanted to do was to play football. It put into sharp relief what happens in the worst case when that ends and you still have more than half your life to live. He may have been a d*ck at times, but my God he could play. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world.

Danny Baker recalls going to his home for the first time, and realising that, out of the huge number of sporting trophies Gazza had stashed away from his youth, only the minority were for Football. He was someone who seemed to excel at any sport he tried, and he hated it being too easy, so he'd invent handicaps for himself even in a casual kickabout or a game of pool in the pub. A remarkable man, but with a self-destructive streak. Edited December 29, 2020 by Futtocks Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Futtocks Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Well, I watched some of the unnecessary remake of Black Narcissus. What it adds: nice HD colour shots of spectacular scenery. Gemma Arterton looking rather hot in a nun's outfit. What it lacks: the feverishly gripping, claustrophobic madness of the original movie. All a bit downbeat and "meh", despite being very well made on a technical level. Why bother, though?

Clogiron Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) I watched the programme about Penguin's on BBC 1 last night, although it was complied from other wildlife documentaries it was still by far the best thing on this Christmas I have seen. I could watch them for hours Fascinating that they now track them by satellite because of the size of the herds on the ice their c rap leaves a brown stain that is visible from space as they move onto fresh ice.

The Hallucinating Goose Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Watching a repeat of the chase and the question is, "In 2010, Neil Robertson became the first player from which country to win the world snooker championship?" This is incorrect, the first World champion from Australia was Horace Lindrum in 1952, I'm a big snooker fan, I know this for a fact, it's so annoying when questions are just blatantly wrong on quiz shows, how hard is it for the people setting the questions to just do a quick google search to check the facts?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
