Just watched Red Riding which is new on BritBox.  How on earth did I miss this first time round?
Amazing cast, brilliant acting and some of the darkest TV I’ve seen.  Unbelievable. 
Red Riding is superb, but it's a very hard watch. I really enjoyed the books as well, but I appreciate that David Peace's writing style is not for everyone

I really enjoyed the Damned United (book) by Pearce which I read before I saw the film.  I now need to read the books, as I see there are 4 of them and one didn’t make it into the programme.

Riveting, and also really difficult to watch at times.

The 80s: Music's Greatest Decade? on BBC Two. Really good four part series about, well, you can guess from the title. Well worth catching up on.

It’s really good. Me and Mrs hade watched a few episodes.

The two new daytime quizzes that started today, The Tournament and Moneybags are both pretty shit although Moneybags will probably improve over time.

However the absolute dugshite of daytime quizzes, Lingo is also back. 

Never has the phrase "think of how stupid the average person is then realise half of all people are more stupid than that" ever been more apt for the contestants on that show.

I don't think there is or ever has been a television quiz that makes me shout at my tele more than Lingo. Folk continuing to play letters that they know aren't in the puzzle sends me into a rage.

When Nirvana came to Britain.
BBC iplayer.
Cracking wee hour long documentary with some great footage from the time and interesting talking heads. 
Watched it at my work last night and really enjoyed it

Oooftt, he's got a telly now!

Don't tell me...you've got one upstairs as well!

I keep making typos, sorry, as phone screen splattered with paint. 

I don’t have an upstairs any more but  yeah, we have multiple televisions. Neither cost as much as my bin.

You've not got a bin, you've  never had a bin. You use old carrier bags hung on the door handle!

Have just came home from the pub and Ch 4 is on...Gogglebox.

I've never seen it before and holy fuck, is this what passes for entertainment these days?

Ideally there would be a camera in your living room, so we could actually see the reactions on your face as you watch it.

 inadvertently catch some Whose Line is it Anyway? USA on Dave. Aside from the grammar of the title giving me a headache

What's wrong with the grammar of the title?

Are you aware it's a pun on a fairly well-known play/film called "Whose Life is it Anyway?"?
