GordonD Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Jimmy Carr's laugh. (Under the 'annoying' part of the thread, BTW.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 As she does not have Sky in her house, my daughter sometimes watches that KarKrashian pish when she visits me and her mum. I just ignore it and browse about here when it is on. She is here today but she is watching something different. Total Divas!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard of him prior to that, and I hadn't heard of Murder in Successville, the thing that Mr Davis is supposedly famous for. So obviously, I jumped on YouTube and tracked it down. What a perfect bit of comedy -- celeb guests trying to solve murders in a town inhabited by impersonated famous people. Genuinely laugh out loud funny. Every time Gordon Ramsay starts bouncing on his heels shouting "No!" I lose it. Or Jimmy Carr who only communicated in his ridiculous laugh. Brilliant stuff. So disappointed it only seemed to last for twelve episodes. I've just started watching Murder In Successville. Shame you can only get the second series on the iplayer but Vicky Pattison and Chris Kamara were brillant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) I watched the Agatha Christie's "Witness for the Prosecution" the other night. It's a bit slow in parts but much darker than the Miss Marple shite we usually think of, has a decent twist in the plot plus has Toby Jones giving an acting masterclass. Still on iPlayer and well worth a look. Edited January 8, 2017 by The_Kincardine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 'Let It Shine' and 'The Voice' were both on at my work last night. How anyone can watch such utter shite is beyond me never mind get caught up in such pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still on iPlayer and well worth a look. I watched it last week. I didn't really like it much though, a bit too dark for my liking in that it was mainly unrelenting misery for all characters involved! ETA - I agree with you about Toby Jones though, terrific actor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was that 20 minutes of joy when the TJ character had a burgeoning legal practice, had shaved off his tash and took his wife on an expensive holiday to France. A brief moment in the sun. As for Toby Jones himself...I just 'googled' him and he did the voice-over for Dobbie in the Harry Potter films. This I did not know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Orton Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I must admit that I thoroughly enjoy watching Michael Denzil Xavier Portillo presenting Great British Railway Journeys on BBC 2. It's informative, enjoyable viewing with an excellent presenter who has a wonderful array of colourful Jackets. It's amazing how much less of a c**t you become when you leave politics behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I love his shows, the European ones as well. He comes across really well and actually seems alright for a Tory [emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved his Scottish and US trips. I also like his jaikets. It's impossible to watch him now and not think "Saint Mirren" though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indian Railways is a rich topic. Top Gear and Michael Palin have both had features on it. We also had that vacuous wid, Anita Rani, do a piece on Mumbai station. Oor Michael is different, though. I'd love to see him on an Indian journey as he seems just such a nice bloke. Hope he puts pads under his armpits as we'd hate to see sweaty oxters ruining his jackets.

D.A.F.C Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thought Taboo was pretty decent. Kept expecting David Hayman to turn to the camera and review the drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
