BFTD Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Do the shows that Netflix & co burp out for folk to binge-watch at their leisure count as 'TV'? Doesn't feel right for an auld fart used to waiting a week for the next episode, at a time when the schedulers say it's OK. Anyway, watched The Keepers on Netflix with the wife last night. The real-life story was interesting, although sadly very familiar, but the programme itself was awful. They'd obviously been given seven hour-long episodes and absolutely dragged the arse out of it to fill the time; you could easily edit the whole thing down into a single, effective 90 minute documentary. Spoiler We kept watching past the first few episodes in case it was going to finish with some great revelation. It doesn't, just a few hours of turgid speculation involving various folk who claim their uncle/dentist/pet rabbit was the killer, with absolutely no evidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Against The Law on BBC Two last night was a stunning bit of telly.Highly recommend it. Daniel Mays was on top form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 3 minutes ago, Bairnardo said: Loose Women. f**k off you seething, evil coven of witches. A truly horrid, wretched, vile hive of bitter boots who are massively passive aggressive and desperately trying to hide the absolutely monstrous chasm in their souls with visibly forced bonhomie, to the point that you'd think there was a gunman off camera threatening to shoot them and their children unless they all pretended to be having such fun. They are shrieking morons who think gasping about someone famous and saying outrageous things (which are actually in no way outrageous) whilst clucking over one another in a petty, pathetic, desperate scramble for attention is somehow worthwhile and somehow worthy of anyone's time. They seem to believe they are empowering, but they're about as empowering as an episode of 'On The Buses' directed by Bernard Manning and starring Roy Chubby Brown. They set back any issue they talk about by at least 70 years and seem to have the same grasp of said issues as a toddler who's just heard about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say that I can't believe it's still going, but then I remembered that the British viewing public voted Mrs brown's Boys the best sitcom ever. Even Mrs Ranter has stopped watching Loose Women, though Mrs Ranter-in-law still series links it so that she can watch every turgid minute of it. Jeezo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've never heard/watched anything by Roy Chubby Brown - does his act really deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Bernard "thousands of niggers in the jungle" Manning? I'd always figured he was one of those saucy, end of the pier types that old ladies think are dreadfully risque, but basically harmless. I'd watch one of his routines, but I figure he's probably utter shite too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Watching some nonsense on Channel 4 about Princess Diana. It's annoying because it's all the old ideas that you get about Diana, and assumes you gave a f**k about her and feel sorry for her rather than just being an interesting program about the Royal Family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense was the word. More than a couple of times on that documentary Diana was described as the future Queen of England 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
