What's new

I so agree with you, I never cracked a smile the whole show. Thought it was just me - it was awful, we did funnier skits at school!

I've never really watched it before. And now I know why usually my Saturday evenings I spend in a bar somewhere.

I hope HL wears a paper bag over his head for the rest of his time here.

Though I did grin a little when he called for a map to explain where England was and they cart out one of the US. A few weeks ago I saw a map of the world, the whole world, pinned up at work. With the USA dead in the centre and Russia and the rest of Asia split in two. I thought that was just a urban myth that US maps are like this... what is more worrying is that I work at a university. A Russian colleague commented, dryly, "the US at the centre of the world and Russia split into two pieces. It's the American Dream".

must have been channel hoping at the time - missed that!

I have 5 of them DVR'd to watch later...i hope its good because the books are GREAT.

Well a couple of new shows, on BBCA....the Robinson Family, and also Hardware, they have that bloke from the Office in it....and I thought they were both really funny....a bit twisted, especially seeing the clown hanging away like that, but worth a peek , plenty of fun language that doesn't get bleeped, apart from there being a lot of *unk

And old shows, Vanished that came back is turning out really well, some shocking moments there, with killing off some of the main stars etc...

So anyone catch some of the other new shows like that one about the de-ja-vu?

I don't think SNL has been all that good since the original cast.

Okay Bob I can't take it any more, since this thread keeps popping up and you started it ( and can fix it)................................. it's Telly

Just watched the first episode of State Within...it's showing on UK TV. Looks promising...4 more episodes to watch tonight.

So far a UK citizen is responsible for the explosion on board a plane leaving DC. All British Muslims in the state of West Virginia (I think) are being arrested and imprisoned.

both work for me, even in the dictionary

It's been bugging me too. I thought he was going all French...

I demand you change it as a you are a mod and representative of all things British to our American cousins, otherwise they'll be going on their hols and talking about the stuff on the tele, which will lead to much piss-taking from the locals.

1. Right, even I knew it was telly (and that was many, many years ago)
2. Don't need to get any more pisstaking than already get.

Bloody well right
