Better than the STV Player, where you get Susan Calman 3 or 4 times per 1 hour show.

And if you try and binge a programme you potentially witness the same two or three adverts about twenty times. 

Calman is annoying but she has nothing  on The Asda c**t

Cats is being shown on Sky Hits at the moment.
I appreciate that this is partly due to Sky's necessity to have branding on all their movie channels, but on what planet can Cats be classed as a hit?


It's a hit if you add an 's'.

Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun.

Fantastic oblivious to reality television. These daft ex-pats have moved to Spain, tend to work 12-16 hour days, eat absolute shite because it's so cheap, buy a lot of their clothes/home appliances from charity shops and a lot of them live in a tiny caravan. If they lived that way in the UK they'd be pitied/regarded as 'white trash'. But it's sunny so it's fine [emoji38]

Would I f**k up sticks and put in so much working hours for a bit of sunshine. Give me the pishing rain and 35 hours a week every day of the week.

I suppose that would be middle class for Glasgow.

Just wondering why most of the characters talk like that, and speak in phrases that no Glaswegian would ever use.

Substandard dialogue last heard in pish like Holyoakes.

If anyone knows any of the production team, please feel free to pass on this constructive feedback.

Been watching Rob & Romesh VS , just caught the end of one episode of the latest series, now have binged watched the entire thing. Rob Beckett just seems like a hyper child who has been given 18 packs of sour skittles, I can't tell if Romesh hates or likes him. Very easy watch and has given me a few belly laughs.

I know it's a daft wee thing, but I really enjoy it when there is live sport on from another country, and the guy who is supposed to be watching for the ad breaks has clearly gone for a shite and you get some random Aussie/American advert instead of Asda c**t or other British nonsense.

Aye, that's always one of the pleasures of watching dodgy streams from the other side of the world too.

Brings back memories of flicking through the old analogue satellite channels when I was a kid. Speaking of Asda c**t, the German adverts always seemed to be full of tits too.

Not sure of this should be on the Netflix thread but seeing as it delighted and annoyed me at the same time, I'll add it here.

Behind Her Eyes (Netflix). First the delight: if you get past the ropy Scottish accents, the first three and a half/four episodes are tremendous - a good psychological thriller, a few dark secrets that you think you know but then aren't sure you know, people lying about everything, a workplace affair and a fantastic turn by Eve Hewson as the wife who is totally crazy in a Villanelle from Killing Eve way. It's well paced, has plenty of twists and keeps you guessing.

Then the annoyance - the last two episodes. Utter garbage. Felt so disappointed watching it all the way through that it turned out the way it did. I hadn't realised it was based on a book, but had I read it I would have been raging that something I'd invested so much time in went the way it did. As it was, I only spend a couple of nights watching it with the missus. The final twist was good but the bits leading up to it were pish.

I'll spoiler the reason why I hated the ending with a second spoiler as to the deux ex machina (sp?) they used.

It ended up being a supernatural/magic thing. I hate everything to do with magic and the supernatural and whatnot and had I known it was going to gondown that route I wouldn't have bothered. Worse than that Harry Potter shite. I wanted the tense psychological thriller you promised me, Netflix, not some wishy washy psychic mumbo jumbo

It was Astral Projection FFS

FFS!

I watched a bit of the first episode and couldn’t get over the boys attempt at a Scottish accent and how awkward he was for a therapist, gave up after that.
