The Naitch Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 City in the Sky on BBC. The documentary is right up my street, love all things aviation. The only gripe is the idea that every sentence that is said that there is meant to be an element of surprise and awe. Think that's down to it being an Open University production. Utterly fascinating show, I've really enjoyed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Apparently The Voice: Kids is a thing. That's a great idea for a TV show. Let's reject an 8 year old and tell them they're not good enough, in front of a TV audience and millions of viewers. That definitely won't emotionally scar them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never watched it, but I do remember an early-seventies aberration called Junior Showtime. Given the standard of the kids who appeared, God knows what the rejects were like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The Tax Credits advert. A mum and dad with twin sons. The boy(s) appear to have cerebral-palsy or some such disability. I don't know why I like it and will probably sound patronising as f**k trying to explain myself, but I think it's good to see an advert which is closer to real life and not just the over the top perfect health family. Good to see these two boys given a shot, even if it's only an advert at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What'm a going to do James?" "Same time next week James?" "Lick mee fanny James" "Bend over n touch yer toes and I'll show you where mee big black strap on goes James" Okay, I made the last two up but you get the jist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Even worse is the one where there's a family about to on a bike run and they're about to make up some sandwiches. But oh no. James, in his best northern working class accent says they should make up a "stuffed layered loaf" instead, essentially a hollowed out loaf filled with Asda shit. Now if it's anything like my local Asda, the value bread will be filled with pink wafer biscuits, Asda's version of Mars bars and blue fizzy juice because that's all they've got on their shelves. f**k off back to your Fortnum and Mason lifestyle James you patronising c**t. With any luck their day will end up like this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Anyway, Songs of Praise is on just now and they're singing a hymn to the Dambusters theme tune. Deary me. Presumably they expected England still to be in Euro 16 when they recorded it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The Muskateers was excellent when Capaldi was The Cardinal. This latest series is the apotheosis of Wifey TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
