New Ricky Hatton documentary 

It was decent 

Shame that between fights he couldn't avoid destroying his body ...that really seemed to be what cost him 

Also confirmed what a horrible character Floyd Mayweather is 

It might have been me but did it really nail the reason for his mental health issues.....he had them before the first loss it sort of intimated but it was never really laid out

Does anyone know who that bloke is on the Hotel Benidorm trailer on Channel 5 that is wearing a Wigan shirt??

I'd estimate you could get in the region of £4,000 - £6,000.

Enjoying this 

Worth more than the IMDb 6.4 

Exciting and lots happening

The source material for Nathan Barley was written by Charlie Brooker as part of his TVGoHome website. The character was a black hole of narcissistic opportunist self-regard and the whole thing was a vicious satire of what have now come to be called "influencers".

The TV adaptation, on the other hand, was absolutely terrible. Badly written, badly cast and badly acted.

Nah....I quite liked Nathan Barley actually ....like you say very prophetic of influencers

The following events are based on a pack of lies , latest drama to hit your TV screens .....Think it should have been titled "The following script and acting are a sack of s###e  !

This week. I watched Wales v Latvia at soccerball on S4C. The channel was still on that telly next morning. Kids progammes (Cyw) was on airing a show called Ahoi. It featured Pirate Ship with a bunch of pre-school kids playing the crew. I can't speak Welsh so couldn't follow the dialogue.However, the show was the best thing I've seen so far this week. It was brilliant.

Answer - David Cameron

I thought it was pony's they used to have down the pit, not donkey's.

I just re-watched the pilot episode of Vic'n'Bob's House of Fools. Still mad.

Something that will delight a particular subset of TRL members.

Happy new Taskmaster day!

A YouTube channel worth bookmarking/subscribing to: SuperCutHero

Other channels have had bits of these classic TV comedy shows on, but the AV quality here is really good compared most other and there are lots of videos to enjoy, from Kenny Everett, Not the 9 o'Clock news, Smith & Jones, Dave Allen and more.

I've been thinking about reading the Hornblower novel series so when I was in the local community charity shop earlier and saw the complete boxset of the tv films for just £2, I decided to get it. I've never seen the show before but I love other similar things and I must say I was not disappointed. I've watched the first one and it was fantastic!

Yeah that's the ones. 

[Route66]

Second series of Crime on itvx based on Irving Welsh book the Long Knives, great book and tv programme has got off to a good start

[Futtocks]

It's that time of year when we all suddenly find out what's on non-sports TV on Thursday and Friday evenings.

I expect a spike in complaints.

Wish I was in that charity shop . Couple of years back I gave a big dvd collection to a local charity shop and I’ve regretted it from not long after . Hornblower and Sharp boxsets were among them . Brilliant
