Oz and James Drink to Britain - must be great to get paid going on a booze up round the British Isles.  Very entertaining though.

 

 

Total Wipeout - has anyone seen this?  I'd love a crack at it!

Well thats how the rich stay rich But yeah it makes sense not to get emotionally involved, but then again as I said, it seemed refreshing to see folk that would generally not have any real contact with that respective aspect of society actually have some heart and soul. The two I mentioned seemed to be dealing with grander schemes which would impact many aspects of society, whereas the others seemed to target smaller groups. That guy you call a caahhnntt came across as one Then again, you can also say maybe he gave the minimum to "inspire" them to continue getting support on their own accord. Self help styli.

 

As the old saying goes: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

I always thought the saying was 'Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, give a man access to the internet and a Donstalk account, and he can post inane ramblings for a lifetime.'

 

 

Fucking hate that programme. It just makes people look like heros for walking around a poor area and giving they're loose change to folk. Then they fuck off to they're mansion in the country. Their not doing much to help the community in the long term.

 

Not the one I watched last night - the guy gave £60,000 to a lady to keep her in a job for 2 years which was running a playcentre for kids and also £150,000 to a lady who helped homeless families - that money was going to be used to buy a property to provide much needed accomodation

 

Yellowstone was cool  I liked the bluebirds

What's wrong with the other birds! Racist I look forward to watching it on tuesday or wednesday!

New series of the apprentice starts on Wednesday night.

 

Yes! Another bunch of horrible cunts stabbing each other in the back for a job....

That really only applies to Rocket Mentalist. 

The day that Sir David Attenborough dies will be a sad day indeed. The BBC's nature programmes are worth the TV license money alone.

True but how involved is he in these series now a days? Surely he just sits in a studio and does the voice over....certainly he wasnae in a wee boat jumping into seas full of sharks and jellyfish.

 

Anyway, GET IT WATCHED

 

 

Newswipe, Episode 1

 

25 Mar 2009, 22:30 on BBC Four

Synopsis

 

Charlie Brooker returns to train his sights firmly on news and current affairs.

 

He looks at the news's obsession with the credit crunch, and the potty levels it has reached. Nick Davies authors a piece about the influence the PR industry has over the news and Tim Key performs a poem.

Watching the Simpsons on Channel 4. The episode with the Loch Ness monster where Homer says "no way. Aberdeen rules!"

I must have seen that episode about a dozen times, but it's still worth watching just for Homer's line.

Also the part where Lenny gets the coin stuck in his head.

Just started watching The Wire sice it has recently started on BBC2 so I think it'll take a bit of time to get into it, but so far so good. It will be have to be great if I'm going to go to the effort of catching up to 5 seasons or so worth!

 

Does anyone know if there are plans to repeat broadcasts of Generation Kill on FX? I think I missed a couple of episodes, I didn't realise there were only a handful of them.

2nd episode is even better

Watched The Inbetweeners last night, thought it was quite good

The Total Wipeout awards! 

I must be easily amused because I think it's been a great programme.

Yes! I love Total Wipeout, one of my favourite programmes on TV at the moment!

 

The Jim Clark documentary on BBC4 earlier tonight.

I thought it was superb, and quite tragic.

The new Louis Theroex show on BBC 2.

 

Paedophilic "mental hospital"/prison.

 

Had to stop watching though because our aerial is fucked at the moment so will have to catch it on iPlayer. Looks good though!

Not gonna do a Rod Hull on the roof then?

It was a bit weird. I think it said only 13 people have been rehabilitated and integrated into the community in the last 10 years, and 70% of the people there won't participate in the therapy, so it's just an extension of prison.

I will definitely give it a watch though. I love Louis Theroux's documentaries. I was watching one I hadn't seen in years on Dave just before that episode, where he was trying to be a gangsta rapper in the dirrrty south Hilarious stuff

Lois theroux really does have balls of steel.  Tonights one was really creepy though, virtually all the peado's had slicked back hair and dodgy tash's.  I found it repulsive even looking at them at times

Too scared in case you got a hard on?

Ha!  Are you one of those fetishists that gets turned on by repulsive things jim?  E.g. do you find yourself getting an  irrational woody when you see the home crowd at ibrox?

Back on topic, recently i have been watching battlestar galactica, terminator the scc and as ever south park.  The new series of south park has been a little disapointing if you ask me
