Butch2000 Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Anyone else watching Popmaster? I read on abother forum I frequent that it’s far more suited to a 3 or 4pm a lot and I can’t agree more. I enjoy it but it doesn’t seem like a night time quiz. Probably ingrained from years of morning play. Actually it seems ideal for the old ITV 9:25 quiz slot they had before it went to chat shows Edited June 29, 2023 by Butch2000 Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 29, 2023 Paid Members Posted June 29, 2023 It doesn't feel Prime Time. It'd be cool maybe in that old 15 to 1 slot just before Countdown? Quote
Butch2000 Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Countdown is at 2:15 these days, there’s some god awful thing by Steph McGowan before it as well for 2 hours. Like a really really shit version of Mel and Sue’s Light Lunch (which was good value when I was on study leave for my GCSE’s). that used to be the fine way of the world. Sesame Street, Light Lunch, and old Matinee film, 15-1 then Countdown before Ricki Lake. I could never imagine a channel showing a Matinee now. Maybe BBC Two on a sport free weekend, but never daily Monday to Friday. Mind you, Channel Fpur used to be the best channel. Shit now Quote
Harry Wiseau Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Light Lunch was brilliant, i was at college at the time and managed to watch it most days and bloody loved it and Mel & Sue. The it moved to 6pmish and became Late Lunch and lost it's appeal to me. Popmaster though, i've been watching it but it's not the same, i keep saying i'll skip the early rounds and just watch the original Popmaster bit at the end with my eyes closed, the way Ken intended.

wordsfromlee Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 I watched an episode last night and there was some annoying, big-headed prick on it who would sing along and do a little dance to every music clip. Really put me off it. Quote

Dai Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Idris Elba's new show, Hijack, is off to a solid start in my opinion. Only 2 episodes in, but have enjoyed it alot, and its does a great job of putting you on edge for the entire episode. Some silly plot holes and some ropey characters (the Danny Dyer guy, Im looking at you) aside, theres more than enough for me to keep watching at the moment. I assume at some point Idris will just become Jack Bauer, which I assume is when the show goes off the rails, but for now Im enjoying it. Quote
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted July 3, 2023 Paid Members Posted July 3, 2023 The Silo finale was brilliant. One ridiculous theory I had paid off, many others WAY off and some (that the Cloverfield monster did it) yet to be decided. I love this shit. My fate being in the hands of book paedos for the next year or so, minimum, has me uneasy. There's some stuff I'm a little confused on but not a fucking chance I'm typing "Silo" anything into a search bar! Quote

We’re only three episodes in, but I’ve read the books, so I say don’t do it, don’t give in to searching! Much better if you can wait for season 2 for things to reveal themselves. Quote
Guest Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 I only caught the end of it but I gather one of today's Countdown contestants is a wrestler. Not sure if anyone here will recognise the name Harry Bayne, especially if he goes by something different in the ring, but he has a fairly distinctive look if you're curious to check on catch-up.

Merzbow Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 For some reason I missed This Is England '90 when it came out even though I loved the others, it's just as tough a watch isn't it? I don't think anyone makes TV as depressing as Shane. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 18, 2023 Paid Members Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) They've got a new presenter on University Challenge, presumably Jeremy Paxman is too ill to continue. Edited July 18, 2023 by jazzygeofferz Jeremy Pacman? That's an odd character. Quote
Mr_Danger Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 3 stars! I’ll wait until it comes to streaming. Quote
