I'm not an avid watcher of Would I Lie to You? but I'll be giving it a watch tonight because I've just found out Professor Alice Roberts, or as I call her the future Mrs. Goose, is on!

Lee Mack is funny , David Mitchell is not ......talking loudly and making childish comments is poor and even though the fragrant Prof Roberts will appear I will give it a miss.

I completely agree. I've always liked Lee Mack. David Mitchell is just an annoying ##### who loves himself too much.

I wonder who wins the attention seeking gold medal in the Mitchell household ? We were always told opposites attract but obviously not in their case .

Very disappointing finish to the game

Just watching/bingeing "Gold"

It reminded me completely of a London Mason's Ladies evening I once attended ..... businessmen, politicians, policemen, villains, ru players and ne'er do wells.

Like a well off person's Shameless

Watched Bridge of Lies last night. They had a nurse on who had to identify and step on 'things in the body'. She stepped on Canis Major and Corinth Canal - I hope she doesn't get to treat me!!

I was watching a crime doc ( it was Murder by the Sea ) and they had music ( a guy playing a violin mainly ) running in the background the whole show , even with people are speaking . Quite a lot of shows seem to do this , not sure why but it can get very irritating and distracting 

[ivans82]

When will people realise that when a message is sent to a mobile phone in a drama or whatever , even if you have the largest tv on the planet , you can`t read what the message says .

Through the magic of the bbc iplayer have started to watch Our friends in the north,somehow never seen it before probably because its release coincided with the birth of my daughter but really enjoying it with an excellent cast who have been mainstays of British tv

The episode with the Council re: the planning application was very depressing. Probably better discussed on the Politics sub-forum.

A great series to add to the expanding older ones on IPlayer including the 4 series of “Clocking Off” and all 3 series of “Happy Valley” from 2014 to this year.  
IP has added more recent and new work: “Mayflies” (90min), a work of love as a “memorial to youth’s euphoria” and set in Manchester.  “The Gold”, a new 6-part series inspired by the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery - scripted by Neil Forsyth who did  the excellent Scottish series “ Guilt” 2019/21 for which a 3rd series is scheduled for this year.

[Route66]

Guilt is one of my favourites over the last few years ,the book of Mayflies by Andrew o'hagan is a must read as well

My missus who can have bad taste is watching 22 Kids and Counting but I just find them all a bit creepy like The Hills Have Eyes.

Classic C4 programme on last night - Know Your S***.

The C4 stable just love programmes about sex and the nether regions. Anything for ratings.

Wonder if they'll do a programme called Know Your Feet? All about the exciting world of chiropody. Everything you need to know about fungal toe infections, fallen arches, bunions and many other foot related medical ailments. Probably not as it won't have that certain titilation factor that's attached to ones private parts.

 

Final episode of the series finishing in a few minutes. It's been very helpful and informative and interesting as someone who has taken a keen interest in gut health over the last few years. The gut microbiome is a burgeoning area of health, science and psychology.

Proper real-life telly, as opposed to "Reality TV".

Parole on BBC1 films actual Parole Board meetings and decisions.

Epiisode 1 was brilliant this week. A convicted murderer and con-man were assessed.

The murderer must have seen the Ray Winstone film about borstal life , swear filter will not allow the film title.
