Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 8, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 8, 2017 It was alright, yeah, slow start but became quite intriguing by the end - I've got enough interest to want to watch episode 2 next week.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2017 Excellent, pre-Crimbo, Midsomer Murder episode. After the tragic news that Sykes the dog has died, we got a real barnburner. Gripping stuff. Particular highlights were the superb over-acting of the murderer and the script writers who decided to go all WWE and have everyone call eachother by full name for no reason. I must have heard the name "Fred Messenger" 40,000 times in the 90 minute episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Isn't Taboo directed by Scroobius Pip? Â Anyway, British sitcoms peaked with Up The Elephant And Round The Castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2017 Bottle Boys had to come off the telly before it destabilized the whole comedy industry by setting the bar too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2017 In Mears' Britain, Robin Askwith would have replaced Roger Moore as James Bond. None of this pseudo-serious Timothy Dalton bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Arn Anderson's Darb Posted January 9, 2017 Members Share Posted January 9, 2017 Spent the weekend binging on a show on History called Forged In Fire. Four blacksmiths are given materials and a brief and then have a couple of hours to make lethal bladed weapons. The two finalists are then given five days to go home and return with a historical sword design which is then tested by a US marine weapons specialist slicing pig carcasses and bamboo poles in pieces. Â It's like Masterchef but with swords. Brilliant stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCW Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Watched Horace and Pete over the weekend. Thought it was alright and Louis CK, Buscemi, Carmella Soprano, Jessica Lange and Alan Alda were all good. But the fucking bar customers and their contrived conversations about abortion, politics etc were fucking cringe worthy for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
