I think Barrowman is actually worse for it. Anyway came on here to say this Len Goodman show they keep advertising on the BBC looks like that kind of claptrap that would make you want to craw out your eyeballs and stick knitting needles in your ears.

 

Don't know why but when I see Len Goodman the first thing that comes to mind is nazi paedophile.

Len Goodman looks like a nasty piece of work, that smile he does looks totally false. I bet he's a right crabbit bas.... in real life.

Len Goodman used to go to Aberdeen on his holidays as a child. Pretty sure he said that on the telly recently.

Did your mum have bandy legs.

Lulu's accent is all over the shop over on BBC One right now. Brutal.

She was speaking Ulster Scots in honour of great granny the grand wizardess.

Anybody else been watching Trust Me on BBC1? Set up very nicely for next week's finale.

Twin Peaks annoys me, its so pretentious and up its own arse and reeks of thinking its clever because it had a scene where a guy swpt the floor for 15 minutes. The TV equivalent of Tracey Emins unmade bed being called art. Absolute dogshit masquerading as entertainment.

I went to a Tracey Emin exhibition in Edinburgh a few years ago and saw the fabled unmade bed. Up to that point, I felt pretty much the same was about it as you did. But then I noticed all the items that were scattered on the bed and the floor around it -- empty bottles of booze, discarded johnny bag, pill boxes of anti-depressants with no lids, filthy sheets, a lonely wee pair of slippers -- and something of a story became clearer. Despite myself, I found it quite affecting and clever.

Twin Peaks is shite, tho.

I've just finished the first 3 series of "Skins".
While the first two are fun, exciting and full of excellent characters portrayed very well by a fairly young cast, the third falls right off a cliff. The storylines become dull or repetitive, the characters are dull and cliched and the overall themes explored had all been done in the first "generation".

Watched it the first time around and quite enjoyed the first two series. The last episode of the 4th series  though, wow.

Not there yet, but I can't see anything topping the end of the penultimate episode of series 2. Closest I've come to crying at a piece of fiction. Absolutely fucking heart breaking.

"Gluck-Who Did She Thinks She Was" on BBC4 replay tells me that the presenter and singer of Muffin the Mule, an early children's programme, was a raging lesbianist.

Skins biggest problem was that the inbetweenrs came along n was a much more accurate portrayal of being a teenager

[EdgarusQPFC]

Watching tipping point and im pretty sure the lad who got binned in the first round finished with 0. 2 questions he couldn't answer were shocking, i cant remember them word for word but you get the jist of how easy they were.
 

1. Which celestial body in the solar system is responsible for the majority of the energy in plantlife?
2. Which Christmas movie saw Macaulay Culkin face off against the 'Wet Bandits'?

[D.A.F.C]

Never knew they were called the wet bandits but wouldve guessed home alone.

Caught the first little bit of this last night;

Go to 05.11 and have a chuckle as bighorn sheep kick each other in the balls to goad each other in to fighting to see who can get to pump the in heat females. Genuinely amusing and interesting stuff.
