The most dire programme on British TV
 

I have always said that Spanish TV is bad, but some of the programmes on British TV are pretty grim too.

I have just seen "take me out" on ITV.

Corny and cringeworthy rubbish, but is it the worst on the box?

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Are you in the UK then?

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

No I am in Spain.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

... and watching ITV?

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Yes, I am watching TV......and your point is????

We have all kinds of mod cons in Spain now, you know, like electricity, cars, TVs, mobile phones......the list is endless.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Not a great deal unlike some of RugbyMits posts. :D

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

What's unusual about that? Reading a few "brits in Spain" forums, they are full of threads on UK TV, they seemingly can't get enough. Mini Joddrel Banks scattered all over their properties so they can get their daily dose of Corrie and East Enders, Big Brother etc! Forums are full of stuff on sky cards, how to get iplayer etc. They watch ten times more UK TV than I do!:)
Oh! No, never seen your ITV programme, but it should come as no surprise, the stuff they push out.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

The question was as though it is not right to watch TV in Spain or something, what his reasoning behind that question is a mystery to me.
:confused:

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

This person is not a Brit though:rofl: Actually never heard of the programme and I consider myself British. However I have an on/off swith on my telly:rofl:

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

You see, this is my point, you read my post as... "... and watching TV?".... when I actually typed... "... and watching ITV"


Funny how we read things as we want to read them, you know, just so we can have a pop at people....

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

He must be one of the few Spaniards in Spain to watch UK TV ?
I thought JLFS was living in the UK ?

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

no, he lives here

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

come on Matty

you know he's spanish, grew up in the UK & lives in Spain

and you know that tons of people here watch UK tele:p

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

I don`t know any Spaniards that watch UK TV, but after watching Spanish TV I can see how they could easily be converted. :rofl:

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

I know some who use the VO function on the TDT box to help them improve their english!

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Haven't seen "Take Me Out" but I'd say Jeremy Kyle is pretty dire.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

I can't watch it or the video links on the ITV site, but it sounds a bit like 'mujeres y hombres y vice versa' on T5

or what was that one Carlos Baute did on cuatro? Eligeme?

that was pretty dire too

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Yeah and that was what I was asking.... didn't need all the snide sniping replies from people did it?

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

:(

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Not you ya daft mare.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

don't call me a mare:p


you can go off people you know...........................

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Sniping at rugbymatt seems to be the in thing at the moment.

Anyway, to brit TV. The worst thing I've had the misfortune to see on visits home was a god-awful series called BoneKickers. Rotten scripts, rotten acting and plot totally lacking in any kind of credibility (but not done in a good fantastical way either). Utter sh¡te. Funded by the liicence payer too.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Listen, if you haven't gone off me by now ya never will!

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

:wub:

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

BoneKickers:eek:

dare I ask what it was supposed to be about?

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Archeologists from a University, Bath or bristol I think. They found Buddica/Boadicea in one episode. There was another one about some extremely important Nazi find but the details escape me.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

That maybe true but, there is another way to look at it, as he is on here so often and posts such a lot, it could be that he is not sniped at anymore than anyone else on average,

Just like it is with a soldier, if you stick your head out of the trenches too often you have more chance of ending up with a third eye, wheras the others pop up less often and get shot at less often, pure mathematics to me....:D

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

I used to love Time Team - archaeology always fascinated me

sounds like a missed opportunity on the BBC's part

dd1 originally wanted to be an archaeologist - now she wants to be a forensic scientist

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

actually you might have a point there................

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Just let it lie FFS! Only a woman could carry on this kind of vendetta for so long, and thats my point, whereas most on here have had cross words over the years most of it is water under the bridge, but oh no, not the likes of you.......


Oh and what does my post count matter to you? I could pay a subscription and hide it but I don't, I could do what many on here do and close my account and start again just to hide it, but no.... I know its going to be a strange concept to you but a forum needs posters, without them its not much of a forum.


Now no doubt you will want the last word on this subject and if its THAT important to you then fill your boots, you have it, but just remember, I have always been like this on here, and people read my posts knowing what I am like, when people read yours and a couple of other posters and see you constantly follow me round sniping what do you think they see? How do you think they judge the situation?

Just asking like............

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Yeah but how do you explain the snide sniping comments made at newbies?

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Elementary Dear Watson, and it does not take much working out.:)

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

I can't

except maybe they're not really newbies;)


or they've been sent by their mates to duff you up:eek:

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Hmmm, Rather than looking at number of snipes received to number of posts made, I think it might be interesting to look at the number of snipes made to nº of posts made.

Some people seem to have a natural proclivity for getting at others.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Take Me Out ... yes dire. Format definitely first seen (by me, anyway!) on Spanish tv. Probably Eligeme, not sure.... only ever saw bits of it between dropping 7yo at Spanish lessons....
as you were;)

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Well thats for the Mods to decide, but as you know Lynn most newbies don't get a chance on here, the place is famous for it, in fact its got a bit of a reputation at the expense of new blood and to the benefit of a couple of other expat sites which is a pity because this used to be a great place... hell you cant even give advice on here anymore because it just turns into a pissing contest.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

well I still like it here, even when I get sniped at by a newbie

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

Thats because it feels like a comfy old sofa, you know you should get rid of it, you know its full of parasites and filth but every time you sit down you feel so comfortable that you just cant bare to be without it.

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

you're talking about yourself again:rofl:

Re: The most dire programme on British TV
 

That was the first post you made in reply to one of mine - it was on the 'Who needs Religion' thread.

So - explain then!
