Binged it numerous times now as I said above. Yet I'm still finding wee bits that I've missed as I tend to focus on background characters/reactions once I know what the main character is saying off by heart. Watched one the other night and heard a quiet belter from Tommy I had never heard before - the pub breaks into song again and Tommy is slightly in the background looking raging and I caught "Bloody hell, singing again!". Absolutely brilliant wee bit. It's such a gem of a show. 

You're bang on about discovering things on repeated watch - I've recently introduced the missus to the joy of the show and just noticed that sometimes when Phil & Nige leave the pub there's a call coming through on their radio, and the NATO phonetic call signs spell out swear words. I only picked it up when one of the call-signs went on a bit, and when I played it back I heard Alpha Romeo Sierra Echo Hotel Oscar Lima Echo Sierra. Going back, it started on series one, episode one with Tango Whisky Alpha Tango Sierra. There's one that stops at Foxtrot Uniform Charlie...

I'm easily amused by the little things... 😆

The new series of Race Across The World is about to start on BBC 2.

Really enjoyed the first series so hopefully this one lives up to it.

Series 3 starts next week on BBC One. Yas!

Documentaries where somebody is being interviewed but the director is unable simply to point the camera at them. So every few seconds we get a brief closeup of their eye or ear while they're talking. True crime shows are notorious for this.

Jonathon Ross......utter arse licker who says every guest is his favourite actor or band has his favourite album ever. Watched it tonight to see Bella Ramsey. Unfortunately the horrific Mel Goodrich was on and interrupted Ramsey with her inappropriate and shite stories. I should've just recorded it and watched the Bella Ramsey bit.

I used to really like Wossy's Eighties TV shows about weird films, and still have a book he wrote about classics like The Illinois Enema Bandit, and the breast of Russ Meyer. Feels like a long time ago now. Also, every film his wife writes the screenplay for seems to have at least one scene that screams, "this was my husband's idea!"

"...so, the princess should immediately offer to let the hero stick it in her pooper as soon as they meet? Well, it's not quite what I had in mind, but you know best, darling".

The Piano, on Ch 4 last night from Leeds train Station, you must watch the young blind girl play the piano. This rendered the world renowned pianist Lang Lang speechless.   

Watching this.  It’s the Glasgow one where everyone is shit up until the one who isn’t.

I've started watching Mad Men. I'm coughing already.

Let me get this straight.

This wee chinless guy is engaged. He walks past Elizabeth Moss and then has to go and find her and f**k her. We then find out a few episodes later he's engaged to Alison Brie and this is the choice he's making? f**k off.

He was doing all that at work, then at the end of the day, he'd go home to his real life wife, Alexis Bledel, aka Rory Gilmore.

Sum boi

The tremendous Race across the World is back tonight. Vancouver to St John's (yes that's just Canada)

Great minds and all that.

I'm so glad that they've changed absolutely nothing about the format now that's on the bright lights of BBC One.

The two brothers picked the best/worst way to try to get to know each other.
