Can't help but think it

should have happened at the end of last season. I can see them writing a final season based on this recent development.

oh absolutely

debs is going to explain the "love" thing, and let it cloud her judgement once again, allowing dex to carry on doing his best. she loves a bad boy after all.

Has anyone ever seen Mrs Brown's Boys? A colleague recommended it to me so I checked it out. There's not a minute goes by that I don't think about how bad it is. It's becoming an obsession - I just can't understand how it's so popular! Number one best-seller currently on Amazon > TV Comedies.

I feel like I'm going mad, but it must just be everyone else that is mad. Check out the Christmas Special on Boxing Day and let me know what you think... or check out some clips on Youtube. It's so shite, it makes me want to go on a killing spree.

I am familiar with it, I'm ashamed to say my inlaws think its hilarious, although they did have the common decency to admit the boxing day special was shite - and oh - how shit it was.

it seems to consist almost entirely of attempts to make the words "shoite" and "feck"/"fick" appear funny - entirely on their own. its like someone took a recipe for "the perfect sitcom" and ended up baking a huge steaming turd because they forgot to add "funny" prior to putting it in the oven.

Yes. Exactly. It's horrific. The sheer popularity of the show actually makes me wish the world would end.

Given up on Terra Nova, started watching American Horror story on FX which is rather good so far..

Managed to hat to the end of Terra Nova only to see they have managed to drag it out for a few more seasons. I was hoping at one time it was going along the lines of the 2000AD story Flesh. I like the idea of going back in time to harvest dinosaurs. Anyway I am also really enjoying American Horror Story.

Sherlock. Brilliant.

Loved it loved it loved!Although Russell Tovey's accent was appalling and really took me out of the story.Also loved seeing the guy from 'Threesome' as the guide to the moors,his accent was alot better lol.

Chuckled when Watson called Holmes ''Spock'' considering Cumberbatch has just been announced as playing a baddie in the next Star Trek film.

I disagree modey, its got all the symptoms of a series they can run endlessly, never giving you any answers, fucking about, stringing it out. If it was a 1 series deal, then I would start watching it, but it suffers from the same thing that made lost so irritating to me - constantly inventing new mysteries, answering very little. that kind of writing frustrates me. Theres far too much I havent even started yet to get interested in that gubbins.

I still havent watched boardwalk empire, game of thrones, or the bluray I bought of the first series of downton

Breaking Bad for me is the perfect TV show. That could run forever but the structure is right. It never leaves you frustrated with its cliffhangers, it leaves you satisfied and still wanting more.

Loved every minute of it so far. Purely because it's entirely character-based.

absolutely, I was actually quite interested in the trailer for Alcatraz, right up until the bit where "all the convicts disappeared in 1961, now they are back" bit. drama is drama, and scifi is scifi. the minute they try to mix the 2, and the scifi is ONLY there to allow them to fuck about with the plot willy nilly, they lose me.

im not a scifi fan, but I do understand the draw of true scifi, using it as a tool to confuse things is the cheapest form of telly making.

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
    • Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
