Great tv show A new Danish cop series started last night on BBC 4, called DNA. DNA has been pretty good so far , if you can keep up with the three different languages be spoken episode length is jus about right I'd say with a double bill be shown each Sat night. It was probably the last place I'd have expected Charlotte Rampling to turn up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Switched the TV on this morning and Channel 4 was showing Professional Tig. Sounds like something Alan Partridge might have come up with but apparently it's a real thing in America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 The Hit List on BBC One. It should be absolute shit but, despite the presenters, isn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a sport out of frisbee and they have huge stadia for rounders, so it shouldn't really be a surprise. It still kind of is though, who's paying them for that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s some more recent footage of Scotland getting a gubbing off Pakistan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it, ITV are at least as bad with their continual pushing of I'm a Celebrity, X Factor, Dancing on Ice etc etc The BBC insisting that "their" crap like Strictly is worthy of leading headlines in their news programmes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Not sure if already mentioned but just finished watching Storyville documentary "The Life and Trials of Oscar Pistorius" on iPlayer. (in 4 parts.) I would highly recommend, had me in tears a few times. Very interesting to look back on his life from when he was a bairn and the events that shaped him. Mrs. FP's take is that he was emotionally vulnerable but turned into an arrogant, narcissistic pr*ck. Basically the South African OJ Simpson with additional tugging of the heartstrings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The Emily Atack Show, a prime example of someone who isn't a stand up comedian doing stand up comedy and sketches. Dreadfully unfunny and bordering on being awkward to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost threw something at the TV last Saturday when the continuity announcer sent "everyone's" best wishes to Nicola and Katya now that they've had to drop out of SCD. I could just about have taken that had it been the lead in to SCD itself but it was a link between two completely different programmes - the News and Pointless I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was said above, ITV are the same with I'm a Celebrity. They get a successful show and hammer the fucker into the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spalding Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The re-run of Tales of the Unexpected on Sky Arts have been good, the later series' were a bit poorer, especially some of the U.S filmed episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittsburgh phil Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The ones that are on just now (series 7?) are pretty lame compared to the peak ones. Always good for spotting character actors like John Duttine though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
