Who's watching what on tv

Finally got round to watching all the Alan Partridge Mid-morning Matters episodes. Lovely stuff*, but not quite as good as the proper series. The one with the ex-SAS survival expert was particularly funny.

Oh, and Partridge will be making a comeback on Sky, and to the big screen

As it's the penultimate in the season 2, I'm gonna hold back and watch back to back next week.

Going to hold off all of breaking bad for similar reasons. See they are splitting the last season of that into two bits, 8 this year, 8 next?

I finally got round to watching the first episode of Game Of Thrones the other night. Really enjoyed it. Beautifully shot, well acted, and an interesting story. Nowhere near as many wizards and goblins that I feared would make an appearance.

there are no wizards or goblins, and very little supernatural guff, which I was incredibly pleased about. its just a really well told story (or about a hundred stories tbh)

GOT was good, but very much the anticlimax after last week. it sets the scene nicely for next season, but 10 episodes isn't enough for a season imho.

I agree but I suppose there could be a danger of then drawing things out to much, as the Walking Dead sometimes feels. Given that this could run for another 5 seasons I think the producers will want to keep the ratings high.

I was thinking the other day that if they quick to a season per year there is a possibility that the final 2 would come out before the books. Now that would be good. :-)

I prefered it to last weeks. I didn't have spoilers mind ;)

Ten episodes of pure quality or thirteen of less quality? It must cost a fortune to make!

The fan sites say around $60 million (£39 m) a season. Given the locations, cast and CGI that is not to bad. Thats a lot cheaper than many movies.

    • 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.
