I have a habit, lately, of falling asleep at about 9pm. I missed, therefore, most of the submarine one. Chris just watches what comes up in front of him so if the channel was on the wrong one for Ridley Road then he missed it so cannot fill me in next week (assuming I stay awake for it). Strictly Come Dancing is a must for me

I normally hate anything based on "celebrities" so I am surprised I have stuck with it. Just nice to have something joyful on the telly I suppose? Daughter took me to a live show once but, for a long time, it ruined it for me. Memory has faded now so I am back to enjoying it.

 

[patp]

I'll be in the land of nod by then. Might record the Iceland one though.

 

[patp]

PS might need lots of telly ideas so keep them coming.

 

[patp]

NOooooo! Not Carol Klein!!!

 

[patp]

I watched the other one and it was really interesting. All about the way nature regenerates after devastating things happen. Gives you hope

 

[patp]

Might give the Larkins one a look see. Also the next two might be interesting but not that last one!

 

[patp]

Very rarely watch movies now. It seems a long time to waste if it turns out to be like that one.

 

[patp]

Yeah, I was not that impressed with it either Kev A swearing vicar hmmmm?

Glad we are not the only ones to notice that there has to be a gay person or black person in every programme. They can cover two for one if the black person is a woman and gets a meaty part.

Fed up with the One Show lately. Is Alex Jones going to leave? They keep trialling people who stare at the auto cue so hard they look wooden. I notice Alex Jones was standing in a radio show the other day. Surely she is not that desperate for money? She only just had her third baby so where is she finding the time (and energy)?

 

[patp]

Dancing?

 

[patp]

Nah, not for me.

We might watch the Hairy Bikers. They do find some really nice little places to visit and see how artisan food is made. It is Leeds tonight.

No, Ray, it is not you. God knows who these ads are aimed at. I assume they do some sort of market research before spending huge amounts on broadcasting them?

 

[patp]

Like you Ray I avoid the commercial channels where I can and record them so that I can zip through the ads. If I do have to watch one live I mute the sound.

Out of water on with Nulon. Nulon makes your hands so soft.

[patp]

Hmm. Why does he look about twelve? Is that part of the mystery?

 

[patp]

I can't stand anything to do with "celebrity". I can't listen to Zoe Ball any more because she is so obsessed with celebrity guests. They are just people doing a job for goodness sake.

 

[patp]

As I hate adverts I try to stick to BBC but it is trying my patience lately

 

[patp]

Wasn't it dire on mainstream tv last night? We ended up watching an old detective one with Martin Shaw in it. I love him. It was a bit un pc compared to modern drama but well acted. Have I mentioned that he lives near me? I had to give him the drugs that his dog needed, once, at the vets. He came in the waiting room with his motorcycle helmet on and did not take it off. He is absolutely paranoid about being recognised. Not that I blame him. He is a big animal lover and is patron of a nearby rescue centre.

 

[patp]

Not me Jan.

I thought the new detective series on ITV at 9pm last night looked promising? I think it may be a follow on that I have missed before?
