Hard to imagine what they could bring thats new but I always like his stuff. Didnt know about that one (well basically I never look at a TV guide, ever! ) so cheers Kev. Will watch it tomorrow.

Anybody else thinks that "Outlaws" (Mondays BBC 1) is brilliant?

Yes its absolutely brilliant. My only gripe is why not just release them all in one go instead of having to wait a week for each one? Stephen Merchant at his best.

Its an hour and a must see IMO.

Ive run out of stuff to watch having just finished The North Water (dreary) and Click Bait (enjoyed that) so will try The Ranch and Departure.

I just watched the end of a film I was watching last night, London has fallen, not a bad film, based around the visit of the US president to the funeral of our PM, almost at the end, they announced the new PM as Clarkson.

I watched that ages ago. Utter utter Shiiiite!

Watched one episode of Departure so far. Typical mainstream made for TV american stuff but I quite enjoyed it so will carry on watching it. What I find difficult to believe though in episode one is what a faff they had locating the plane. There was an air traffic controller watching it trying to contact them and surely they have an EPERB tracking system or whatever they are called that cant be tampered with. Will stick with it for now though.

I lasted five minutes of "The Ranch". Canned laughter, lame jokes, cheap studio set was enough to put me off.

Is that a new series of Marcella? I quiet liked the first couple but cant remember how many I have watched.

Game of Thrones had many stories going on within it and its an epic series, one of the best things Ive ever watched. In fact earlier this year I watched them all again in about two weeks.

Just about everyone must have acted in Game of Thrones. Even Ed Sheeran was in it albeit very briefly.

Thanks. I do read but I will pass I think. Im never keen on reading the books and seeing the show / movie. One or the other although I did read all the Harry Potter books before I saw the films.

Got to agree with Kev. I think they are a lot more child like in the beginning but they gradually get darker. I remember when the first books came out, I was still travelling all over and on all the trains and the tube "adults" my age were glued to Harry Potter books. I was in my early 30s then though but I've read them all several times and seen certainly the mid to later films many times.

I can't remember any series of books and films that were so captivating. The frenzy and excitement about them when they came out was electric. I would buy the books the day they came out. Proper fan me!

I enjoyed Lord of the rings both the book (goes on a bit at 1100 pages) and have probably seen the films at least twice and I was a massive Tolkien fan but JK has the edge IMO. Must have took a lifetime to plan all that.

I have the Hobbit in the van, but it's a bit lame so far.

Have you tried giving it some medicine. Maybe consult a vet.

No, I dont own a Hobbit.

Ive had a few pretty things though.

I used to enjoy it but for a few years they seem to be seriously overacting the tasks etc, Liz still watches it so I'm stuck.

Are you joined at the hip? Mrs D watches it but I cant stand it so go and do something else. It was ok like all these shows when they first came out and actually had proper celebrities that also didnt really know what to expect or how to behave but they are all really tired formats now and everyone goes in with a game plan. Dull as dishwater.

Yes, 2004 and he called the audience "Fu**ing C**ts" because he wanted to be voted out.

Ive searched everywhere for the clip but cant find it.

It was after that they introduced the delay in the broadcasts of live shows. He did the same thing live on TV in the 70s with the Sex Pistols.

Watched an episode and a half when Michelle declared that "this is totally sh1t and lame". Cant decided whether the carry on with it myself. Seemed a bit "Kiddy TV" to me really then again I think it airs quite early on so maybe its meant to be I dunno.

Shat it you Slaaaaaag!

Watched three parts of "Rules of the Game" on iPlayer. I dont normally watch "Four parters" as they are generally disappointing but this is not bad. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0b8zwdm/rules-of-the-game

The average film is around .5gb, but get a sdcard and download as much as you can before going, we each fill up our tablets as we like to watch different things sometimes.

Definitely a better plan than trying to stream or download when away. Mobile signal most places we were last summer in the UK was ****e and of course if you download it at home you save your mobile data allowance. I just download straight onto a laptop and watch it straight off the laptop.

I tend to use BT Wifi hotspots a fair bit with the iBoost but in theory I shouldnt have needed it on this last UK trip as I had a shed load of data to use but frustratingly half the time it was useless. Its likely we will do a similar trip next summer so I am going to have to sort something out. Maybe a roof mounted 4g booster or summat.

Cancelled after one season apparently. Not a good sign.

I generally dont bother if its had less than three seasons. Mind you long running shows are not necessarily great either. How long did Last of the Summer wine go on for? Utter ****e!
