I watched last week's Paul Hollywood Bread, but it was identical to the Lorraine Pascale programme that proceeded it. So I didn't bother with this week.

What I have yet to find out with Food Glorious Food is, what happens in the next round? I think with it being a Simon Cowell err, creation I'm too hard wired to the tedious formula. Is there a boot camp and judge's houses? I'd watch it to see Loyd Grossman's house...

Do they have to bake a ginger sponge with a Michael Jackson theme? Will it go to Breadlock?

Watched the final episode of Years and Years tonight. Then straight away watched the news. I wasn't 100% sure that it wasn't the same programme.

I watched the last two episodes in a row via iPlayer. The sense of attention to detail comes across, just as it did in the previous series. Not just in the little things you see in passing (the Samuel

Another quality chunk of Richard P.Feynman -

.

The picture quality is not as good as The Pleasure of finding things out (also highly recommended), but the programme is still very interesting and enjoyable. It also includes a conversation between Feynman and Fred Hoyle.

The two-part Bombay Railways documentary on BBC4 was excellent.

Very good - obviously their (also very good) series about the Indian Hill Railways was well enough received for them to do more in that vein.

Just watched the first season of Breaking Bad.  Everyone said it was good, and boy they were right.

 

Bryan Cranston is great, showing what a good actor he is (previously only seen him in Malcolm in the Middle).

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

One for folks of a certain age - the quite peculiar Eighties TV thriller 'Dead Head' is finally released on DVD. Starring Denis Lawson, Lindsey Duncan, Simon Callow and Norman Beaton, amongst others.

Goes without saying that I think the new series of Doctor Who is very entertaining. :)

 

Ice Warriors!

 

(Yes, yes, fellow 'Who' nerds, I know this is actually the second half of series 7 and not really a 'new' series as such. :happy:  )

 

I've restrained myself from starting a seperate thread about it, but this being the show's 50th anniversary year, you'd better brace yourselves for me getting a bit giddy about that round November time. :D

 

Zygons!!

I still enjoy Coast. Last night's show featured some ladies from Cornwall knitting very unusual items whilst keeping themselves incognito by wearing fancy masks. They then dot their efforts around the area for whoever wants one.

Coast almost always has something interesting for the viewer to discover, but some of the presenters are trying far to hard to be 'characters'.

proper characters like "jonny morris" never had to put on a false over act like the presenters of today, they were just natrualy engaging.

the inside of a 3star halex table tennis ball smells much like you'd expect it to.

 Suranne Jones would be a shoe in for the world gurning championships. Isn't it Amelia Bullimore not Amanda? but I agree her understated performances steal the show each week.

Watched Defiance (the new sci-fi TV series, not the film) last night, looks very promising.

 

Also, The Borgias has started again!

aye it's amelia

 

there are one or two low key but quality performances: the detective who shagged Jones' mam in the car park for instance and Lesley Sharpe always puts a quality performance in.

 

The plots are a bit better than average as well.
