The TV Thread

[Liverpool Rover]

Earlier on I watched the Diego Maradona documentary that was on Channel 4 a while back. Everywhere he went in Naples he was mobbed and he couldn’t live any kind of normal life. No wonder he went off the rails as the attention he had constantly was immense.

Lady Helena and the lawyer she was having an affair with 

Yes all of them . Including bang up to date luminaries like John Sergeant Sue Pollard and Angela Rippon

I was playing with my new phone last night, and I saw an icon at the top that I didn't recognise, so I pressed it. It linked my phone to my TV.

On Race Around the World they were in Peru. Where they eat GP

Yes, they farm them for meat. Mate was there a few years ago and was going to try GP but his girlfriend 'persuaded' him otherwise.

Being able to cast to a big screen is great, especially for RL matches on YouTube.

Yeah, I know that kind of persuasion. "If you eat L'Escargot, we're finished", gentle, but persuasive.

Thing is, I already have a hdmi computer to tv cable for watching most of my DVD's (except US imports), so I never even thought about it, especially as my tv has youtube on it anyway.

I don't believe there was any gentleness or subtlety involved

HIGNFY is less funny in a working from home format than our team meetings at work.

They seemed to be trying too hard. It wasn't good!

It does show the psychology works for the laughter tracks and live audiences laughing.

They spent about half the show making comments about each other’s backgrounds in their home. “Are you running a video shop?”, “That’s a lot of books”, “Your neighbours are noisy”

The sort of stuff that our lot all got out of the way in the first few team meetings at work. But we were funnier as we had personal contexts all to chuckle along to.

It really was about as funny as catching herpes.

[Futtocks]

The timing on HIGNFY was, for obvious reasons, a bit off, plus people starting to talk simultaneously before stopping and starting again. Very awkward.

[Bleep1673]

Thank you BBC, that is a great programme,  some great Rugby League

[Robin Evans]

Villages by the sea is a pleasant watch that doesn't need a deal of deep thought. Just a nice narrative over some pretty villages

[Bleep1673]

That was great RL, a bit too Yorkshire biased though.

I was in Cardiff 2003

The answer is in the title , HIGNFY , current news isn't funny , we can laugh at each other on here , but that's different
