Anthony Bourdain's new series for CNN is called 'Parts unknown', but is basically 'No Reservations'. Which is a Good Thing.

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

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

Seems that Johnny Morris was a proper Welshman, good to his friends but capable of bearing a grudge.

From Wikipedia:

 

Morris … died on 6 May 1999.

His wife, Eileen, had died ten years previously, but he had two stepsons. He bequeathed his house to his co-host on Animal Magic, Terry Nutkins, a large sum of cash to his housekeeper, Rita Offer, and smaller sums to his gardener and his builder but he left nothing to his stepsons, his step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren - possibly due to a failed business partnership which had cost him £500,000.

Last night's BBC documentary on Dave Allen was absolutely brilliant! If you missed it, pause briefly to kick yourself before visiting the BBC's iPlayer pages.

 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.

 

Amelia Bullmore  - no "I"    From 1990 until 1995 she played the role of Steph Barnes in Coronation Street

 

Agree about Karl: time he got what's coming and sodded off back to  Taggart

I didn't know Dave Allen made all those Documentaries.

 

Only caught the second half of this but his jokes made me laugh all over again. They also amused my son who hasn't seen that much of Mr Allen

Your son has lost out, due to Dave's contract stipulation that his TV shows should only be repeated once, then never again. :(

I hope it's not on iPlayer to respect Mr Alles's wishes.  :-)

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!

It was agreat documentary. The strange thing is that his own documentaries were on ITV rather than BBC.

I was a big fan of Being Human on BBC3, now I've started watching Being Human USA on Watch, same storyline, but slightly different angle due to it being made in Canada & set in Boston (Mass, not Lincs)

The final episode of the current series of Doctor Who was a blast! All the 'classic' series Doctors present and correct, William Hartnell in colour and the big reveal... a new Doctor for the 50th anniversary special later this year. Loved it.

Game of Thrones... that is all.

 

Caught up with the last 6 episodes yesterday.  Just gets better and better.

I was taping last week's GOT episode for a friend who was away. I  always watch it on the re-run. I had read a review after the first showing to say there was a castration scene in it. Because I was taping it, I couldn't  fast forward through that bit ... I had to go out of the room when it was about to happen. :fie:

tried to watch "pointless" on challenge tv, as if its not the slowest most drawn out quiz on tv anyway, after the opening 8 and half minutes without a single question been asked there was a barrage of ads, lost patience and flicked on to other channels that just seemed to be adverts with bits of programmes inbetween.

I can't stand Eddie Izzard either.

 

Though I think Grayson Perry is pretty good at what he does.

These faux jeopardy shows where people do their job are getting out of control now. It should have stopped where it started at Ace of Cakes and that's it.

Not sure I see the connection.

 

Grayson Perry did an absolutely superb exhibition at the British Museum.  Before going in I'd thought he was a bit of a ###### - but that completely changed my view of him.

 

Eddie Izzard I find quite amusing in small doses.
