Wolford6 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 In 1961 Alan Shepherd became the 2nd man to travel into space. When reporters asked Shepard what he thought about as he sat atop the Redstone rocket, waiting for liftoff, he had replied, 'The fact that every part of this ship was built by the lowest bidder.' That must be why the sets on Blakes 7 wobbled so much. 1 Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Decimus Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Just finished watching the latest series of Traitors from Australia. It might be trash, but it's seriously good TV. I've enjoyed all 3 series shown on BBC. Spoiler alert! It proves how poor most people are at telling whether people are lying, despite all thinking they are good at it. I do suspect though, that it's one of those programmes (like Big Brother) where the first season will be best. Players will be far more sceptical next time around. One thing about the programme bugs me though. When the traitors are low on numbers, they are expected to recruit. It's not bad at first, but when you've only got 6 players left with 1 traitor and they recruit before then killing, you then have 5 players with 2 traitors. Also, the newly recruited traitor becomes almost impossible to read for the other players. The result is a huge advantage in winning for the traitors.

The Masked Poster Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I watched the Sixth commandment. Very good and very well acted. So much so I found it very, very creepy. The actor who played the killer. ‘Ben’ is either a great actor or genuinely a sinister person. And despite his fantastic acting CV, I still call Timothy Spall ‘Barry’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Poster Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I saw a repeat of an old Naked Video show on BBC2 last night. It was a Scottish sketch show and was where Rab C Nesbitt started out and the baldy man. I can remember staying in with my (to be) Mrs on a Friday night and watching that as we saved for a deposit on a house. It was quite dated but still a few good laughs in there.

ivans82 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 The new BBC "drama" Wolf is absolute garbage . Script is clunky , actors look wooden and unconvincing , couldn`t acrually make my mind up whether it was supposed to be a thriller , a horror story or a Brian Rix farce (one there for our older readers ) don`t bother wasting your time with this .

gingerjon Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I was put off by the praise from the kind of people I despise but I was wrong. If you have Disney+ then put on Only Murders in the Building. It is so well made. Martin, Short and Gomez having a great time and some absolutely fantastic lines and gags. 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

If it's in your EPG but not viewable (I assume it isn't a subscription channel), contact them and ask what's up. Some of these smaller channels aren't always aware of technical problems unless viewers tell them.
