Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted:* disclaimer: this doesn't mean I think they're good shows, it just means the audience are idiots. I am a massive idiot! Also I like 'cutting edge' documentaries. I like Pete vs Life and Shooting Stars and Grandmas' House and think My Family is poo poo but it was tolerable at the beginning when that guy from the BT adverts was in it. I hate the BT adverts. Can't wait for the new series of Misfits to start! OH! Louis doesn't seem too bad but Piers Morgan is a total bellend.

I knew I recognised Samantha the model bird on Seven Days from somewhere. She was on the first series of Make me a supermodel and was also in Hollyoaks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Rowley It was something to watch and it didn't bore me as much as it probably should have done but then again I didn't have anything better to do. It was definitely a bit random. Especially that guy with the indoor pool in his basement and him and his 5 mates dancing in his living room. That was a bit odd. lazyjane fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Sep 23, 2010 |

Coppers tonight is in my hometown of Bolton. It's about the EDL/UAf protests that happened earlier this year. Not sure I'm going to be on the Police side too much with this one as Alan Clough who is a friend of my parents-in-law (they were there too) was beaten up and arrested by the Police. He spent around a week or so in custody and was due in court a month a so ago when the CPS dropped the charges because Granada TV had footage that proved that the police officers had lied about what had happened and it's currently under investigation (although the police officers involved haven't been suspended). http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/news/8635922.TV_programme_follows_police_at_town_centre_rally/ http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereve...olton_edl_rally Yeah so that should be interesting! Also have been watching I'm a Celeb and I LOVE Dom and Stacey and I bought the Brett Domino 'Oh Gillian McKeith' song that made it to 29 in The UK Top 40 on Sunday

keveh posted:Also tuning in because I'm from Bolton and I'm interested to see the police's side of it. Hello, fellow Boltonian! Where in Bolton are you from? Just watched it and didn't realise Alan Clough was actually going to be on the programme. Have to say I wasn't that impressed with the police. Apparently there was a lot of confusion on the UAF side because they hadn't been told beforehand where they were supposed to go and the police's actions didn't really help things. From what I've been told the police had pictures of people who are known protestors and Alan Clough was on that list so he was one of the people singled out. Also the EDL wanted to march to the town centre through large Asian communities. A few of them started at the Stags Head pub which is in Deane (very near where my Gran lives) and to get to town they would have to walk along a very big Asian area. The only reason they had less arrests is because they weren't in the town centre for as long as the UAF were.

I could be completely wrong but was it Distant Shores? Family go and live on an Island off the coast and wife shags some other guy are the main things I remember about it. Plus it had Doctor Who (of my childhood in it). edit: Just found out that there was a second series that never aired in this country.

I've watched a couple of episodes of Angry Boys and I haven't found it that funny so far. I'll give it a few more episodes but I'm not sure, t'other half isn't so keen either.

Also there was a BBC series for older kids called Moondial that I loving loved.

delicious beef posted:Round the Bend was fantastic, but I also just thought of that Australian show from the 90s, Round The Twist, which was the creepiest kids 'drama' I've ever seen. I've got all the series of Round the Twist on dvd because it was amazing. I'll never forget the episode when the little kid was jealous because the other kids could piss over the wall and he couldn't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvL3ccndU_c

I watched 15 mins of Gypsy Blood and had to turn it off because I knew it would piss me off too much. Apparently it got even worse after that so I'm glad I did.

The Nick Hancock version of Room 101 was my favourite one (does that make me really old?), it was much better than Paul Mertons run. I haven't watched the new one yet but I'm not holding out much hope.

Handsome Dead posted:I caught the first episode of the new Geordie Shore the other night and I really don't know how I feel about it. It's poo poo, trashy and dirt cheap but everyone in it is actually kind of alright apart from Ricci (pronounced Ricky) and lemon faced Charlotte. It makes a nice change from Jersey Shore where everyone immediately seemed like a macho bellend apart from Pauly D, who got the joke. I'm sorry but Charlotte is amazing! Vicky is the lemon faced one. Yeah I love a bit (lot) of trashy tv. I know that's not allowed here but I don't care.

piratepilates posted:Now that leads me to a question as someone not from the UK, how was David Baddiel at some point popular? I've seen him on some panel shows and he just comes off as a huge rear end in a top hat, in that one episode of Would I Lie To You he just made an rear end of himself and was as good at making funny remarks as any of the other non-comedians that go on that show. On top of that he claimed to have slept with two of the Spice Girls, him, HIM. Hugh Dennis and David Baddiel were both on The Mary Whitehouse Experience which I used to love when I was about 15. David Baddiel and Frank Skinner presented Fantasy Football League which I also used to love back in the day. Dave Spikey -I was friends with his daughter years ago- co-wrote Phoenix Nights which was great. I'm not a fan of his stand-up though. No idea if that helps or not?

Xachariah posted:Why an earth is the direction for her character apparently "bland, emotionless, boring place-holder"? It works for the assassin character, but it doesn't really draw me into the narrative when the person opposing the assassin is a carbon copy of him. I got the impression that they are sort-of brother and sister, both have been genetically engineered to be that way. That would make sense of the way that she acts and the way they were with each other.

Rondette posted:I preferred Select magazine and still regret the day I chucked them all out. I'd love to have a leaf though them again. There is actually a resource for looking at some scans, but it's not quite the same as the physical magazine- I LOVED Select magazine and I did keep them all at my parents. They moved house a few years ago and I didn't have any room for them so they all had to go I also loved the free tapes you got too. So old.
