jimmy boo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Watched TT3D again last night on YouTube. 2010 Isle Of Man TT races focusing on Guy Martin. Not the biggest bike fan but the on bike video footage is mesmerising. Proper sporting gladiators these loonballs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 George Best: All By Himself on BBC4 last night was an excellent documentary. Nice to see Hugh McIlvanney contributing, must have been one of the last things he did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Flicking through the daytime channels and stumbled on Tenable, a quiz hosted by Warwick Davis. His patter is unbelievably woeful and the thing's slower than a week in the jail. There are ten blank possible answers on the board and if you say Banana when the question's name ten fruits beginning with A, they go through all ten when quite clearly banana won't be there. Mind numbing. Edited April 6, 2020 by Hampden Diehard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind numbing. The old mother in law stayed with us for a number of years and she latched onto the telly during the day and watched all these zombiefying quiz (??) shows. ITV must believe in them because they are all repeated later in the day and through the night. The only time itv is on in our house now is when the missus watches Corrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Watched all of Mrs Fletcher on Sky Comedy. The first episode wasn't up to much and some of the characters appear hard to warm to but glad I persevered. A divorcee sees her son off to college. She discovers lesbian porn and he goes from being the most popular boy in school to a total dick who is out of his depth at college. Worth watching for the ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind numbing. I like Warwick Davis but Tenable is tedious to watch. It is slow, especially when it is a subject that the contestants clearly don't have a clue about but they still go through the entire process in the false hope that one of them might have a flash of inspiration. Mind you, if I had to name 10 fruits starting with A (apple, apricot, avocado? .... ) I might have to take a punt on banana myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the family's sense of humour was getting them through a lot of it. On a separate note Joe Lycett - sorry, Hugo Boss - is back with his Watchdog style show tonight. It's been missed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Watched Dynamo’s Beyond Belief on Sky. It was brilliant, great tricks as always but talking about his illness and recovery was what really made it special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITV believe in them because they are cheap to record and repeats are even cheaper. In America it is even worse. They show repeats that are more than 30 years.

Really enjoyed the first series so hopefully this one lives up to it. Did you ever get into it? Was well addicted to the first series but thought the first episode of the new one was shite so gave up on it. Would like to know if it picks up. Just seemed like getting on a bus in Mexico City and next thing they're in Guatemala with nothing happening. Might as well have flown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was part of the beauty of the first series, seeing places you'd never really thought of visiting before (after the last series I was actually looking up "highlights of the Silk Road holidays" on Google...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
