The Nevers on Sky Atlantic was a pretty good supernatural fantasy set in Victorian London about a group of women who have somehow gained special abilities. They've become feared and marginalised and it moves along at a good pace for the first 5 episodes then in the final episode you think you're watching a different show as it goes all sci-fi/alien invasion/time travel as it shows the origin story of the main charscter Amalia True.

I would say so - better than Friends anyway which is on heavy rotation. The last couple of seasons went downhill, like all shows. And it had real, genuine highlights (The Contest, The Puffy Shirt, The library). It does look a touch dated now, like all 90s shows. And as said before, Curb far eclipses it.


Parts of the last season are great though. The whole storyline about George faking a disability and them trying to flush him out the office when they realise is superb. Breaking the vent to get into his entombed office still does me in.

Watching Peter McDougall's Just A Boys Game which I haven't seen for years.

At Clatty Bella's with Jake McQuillan and Dancer.

Jake : Wrap that blanket round you to keep warm.

Dancer : Christ Jake, If I wrap that blanket round me it will walk me down to the harbour and toss me in.

Brilliant writer. That one, and the two starring Jon Morrison...

Fat people on 4 in a bed complaining that the showers or the beds are too small. 

Calling people "fat" is not PC. 

They are "chubsters". 

TBH I struggle with the amount of chubsters and ugly munters on the box that I don't pay the license anymore. 

Was watching some fucking cook on morning TV a few months ago, preparing some dish and waxing lyrical about the low calorie ingredients and how its suitable for vegans. The fucker must have weighed in at about 20 stone.

TV is in the shitter. Between the lack of invention and all this woke shite, it's tan your wrist material. 

No fucking wonder Porn Hub is so popular.

Clarksons farm was great, his head of security and the young tractor driver are a good laugh but I'm a big fan of his farmers union rep.

I like how she finally said sorry for being snippy about his tractor and that she was probably just a bit jealous.

People who can't distinguish between license (the verb) and licence (the noun) or are possibly just lazy cunts and use the American spelling for both.

Sorry, that should be in the PTTGOYN thread.

Jade Fever, Claudia Bunce says at the start of every episode that she would dig until her hands bleed.

Seems to me every c**t bar her is digging and she never gets her fucking hands dirty.

They never find much Jade either

High: Confessions of an Ibiza Drug Mule is worth a watch. Absolutely cannot believe she agreed to do all that for £5k.

(She claims) she thought she was only going to Barcelona and back for that 5k, and it's only when she switched on the in flight map on the plane that she found she was going to Peru.

Raising A School Shooter on BBC 4,  is Storyville at its best.  Basically a very melancholy hour following the parents of US school shooters and their relationship with victims.  Tough but affirming.

Suits.

Or actually just Donna from Suits, Top notch ginge.

I delighted myself a few times over that.

She turned up on three episodes of Grey's Anatomy last year.

Speaking of Suits, whatever happened to Rachel (Mike's girlfriend)? She just seemed to disappear without explanation.
