El Padre™ Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Incidentally theres a damn good film on BBC1 at 23.30 tonight. Quote
amp Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Lambing Live is back on - I think it's an excellent programme, given that I come from a farming background. It's a shame about the bad weather causing interruptions to the programme, and I know exactly how much of a worry that weather will be for the farmer, as you lose a lot of lambs in the cold, driving rain.

jmo Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I've watched the lot. Season one gets better, season two is a wee bit slow but 3-5 is an absolute rampage. I thought the second season was the best thus far (I've watched up to about half of season 4). Felt that Season 1 started slow but got good at the end, season two was amazing but season three was the worst so far. Good near the end but the first few episodes of season three I just thought dragged on compared to how good season two was. Quote
jmo Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Missed Shameless last night, gutted. Another one who only really started watching it last series although I did watch most of the first series. Will set them to record and watch them when I get home. Anybody watch Underbelly? Got the boxset but not sure if I can be bothered with it as I've just started watching the Sopranos again from the first series. Thought Underbelly was alright, well the Australian version anyway. Watched an episode of it when it aired here and it inexplicably had a Scottish person doing a voice-over which made the whole thing seem like a crime-watch style programme. The second season of Underbelly is better than the first though, so long as you ignore the absolutely atrocious Scottish accents by the two Aussie actors playing Scots. Quote
manc_don Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Just watched "united" on the beeb. Thought it was a fantastic portrayal of the event. I assume it was dramatised for tv, but thought it was a gripping view. Well done BBC. I also read busby's son thought it was awful. Quote

I assume it was dramatised for tv, but thought it was a gripping view. Well done BBC. I also read busby's son thought it was awful. Watched it as well manc, thought Dougray Scott was woeful as Busby. Other than that it was good i thought, David Tenant was really good. Harry Gregg really was a massive hero though eh? Quote
dave_min Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Thought it was good. Not fantastic though. Was weird watching a football drama that didn't have any football in it though Quote

Harry Gregg really was a massive hero though eh? Easily the worst character, which was probably why his son thought it was shit. Nice cameo from a few of the auf wiedersehn pet guys. I don't really want to use the word, as it was a tragedy, but I thoroughly enjoyed that. Quote
Tyrant Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 I watched this as well. I thought it was pretty good. Although I thought it was weird that prior to the airing of the program the BBC warned that it contained "images that some viewers may find disturbing". I have no idea what scenes they were referring to. A tiny bit of blood was all that was seen. I don't know how those scenes are distubing anymore! Quote
manc_don Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Sir Bobby Charlton's programme is on BBC 2 now. Quote
dave_min Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Sir Bobby Charlton's programme is on BBC 2 now. You missed Porto v Villareal then - fantastic game. Porto are pretty shit. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Sir Bobby Charlton's programme is on BBC 2 now. I watched that, was a bit surprised it didn't have a bit on him coming up against Pele in the 1970 World Cup. Not a bad programme though, he's looking old and maybe if he has Parkinson's. Quote
manc_don Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 I watched that, was a bit surprised it didn't have a bit on him coming up against Pele in the 1970 World Cup. Not a bad programme though, he's looking old and maybe if he has Parkinson's. I said the same thing to my misses about that. I was very surprised how old he looked. Good programme though. A couple of my colleagues who are bitter reds, refused to watch either programme as it would expose their inability to be human. I.e. show emotion for a tragic event! Quote

I go on holiday for a year and a half and come back to find you've got a Mrs! Quote
manc_don Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 A Mrs!? I go on holiday for a year and a half and come back to find you've got a Mrs! Haha, shocking isn't it Look forward to catching up in a couple of weeks! Quote
Stewart Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 I watched that, was a bit surprised it didn't have a bit on him coming up against Pele in the 1970 World Cup. Not a bad programme though, he's looking old and maybe if he has Parkinson's. Thought the same about the Parkinson's. Never realised how good Charlton actually was, but some of those goals were magnificent. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Thought the same about the Parkinson's. Never realised how good Charlton actually was, but some of those goals were magnificent. Aye, my grandad had it and it's a horrendous thing and it certainly looked as though old Bob had it. My other grandad right enough didnt rate Charlton that highly and often remarked that Best and Law made him the player he was. But he did love Willie Miller, Theo Snelders, Brian Grant and Hans Gillhaus... so, pretty good judge of player I'd say.... Quote
Stewart Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Aye, I never knew there was a 3rd Charlton brother. Nae luck for him I suppose. Quote
manc_don Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 I watched that, was a bit surprised it didn't have a bit on him coming up against Pele in the 1970 World Cup. Not a bad programme though, he's looking old and maybe if he has Parkinson's. I'm sure his head was shaking a fair bit at the game Quote
Azteca1903 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Just watched Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle on iplayer. Had me cackling like a madman at points. Quote
El Padre™ Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 BBC Scotland tonight, 9pm Field of Blood. Gerrit watched. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0110f5y http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00grc4g Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Another "one of yours" then? Right up there with Phoo Action? Quote
El Padre™ Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Another "one of yours" then? Right up there with Phoo Action? It's actually pretty good, worth a watch! Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 It's actually pretty good, worth a watch! Nightshift is an enormous pain, anything that starts at 9pm you miss. Baws. I'll get it on i-player I expect. Quote
Kowalski Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Posted May 8, 2011 Right up there with Phoo Action? Field of Blood looks like a good cast so might tune in. Quote
