I know most members here don't watch TV.....I have to admit that I do

My favourite is 'Have I got news for you'...

At the moment it's 'An Idiot Abroad'. Karl Pilkington is absolutely class & comes out with the funniest stuff. Best thing I've seen on telly for ages.

1 The Walking Dead
2 Game Of Thrones
3 Revolution
4 Continuum

And I don't watch TV

I don't watch TV as such. Netflix only for me

I like to watch nature documentaries.
( No I don't mean phornography)

I dont have a TV but I do watch programmes transmitted on it on my computer hooked to a projector.

On file I have:

Dr Who
Sherlock
Getting On*
Weekly Wipe**
The Thick of It
Veep
Family Guy
Southpark

plus a host of classics like

Porridge
Yes Ministr/PrimeMinitser
Auf Wiedersehen Pet
Faulty Towers
Blake's Seven
Star Trek and Star Trek TNG
Black Adder
Red Dwarf (up to Season 5)
Alexie Sayle's Stuff
The League of Gentlemen
That Peter Kay Thing

If you have never seen Getting On, which is only three seasons long, I strongly recommend you give it a try. It is written and perfomed by: Jo Brand, Vicki Pepperdine, and Joanna Scanlan. Think The Office but in a hospital.



I hope you have all seen Weekly Wipe by Charlie Brooker : if not, do yourself a favour
My own favourite is the Doug Stanhope section

Light hearted fun

Mrs. Brown's Boys

I tried to watch Mrs Brown's Boys with my dad (who loves it) but I couldn't see the appeal.

I'm not having a go at your opinion Lunar Sea, or my dad's, but just what is the appeal?

No telly here so watched on iPlayer, 4OD or streaming websites
Currently ...

QI
Have I got News For You
Game of Thrones
Dead Famous DNA (A nice twist found on Eva Braun's genome in episode 2 btw )

Most documentaries, exposes' and history programmes take my interest.

QI is great provided that Toksvig or Clarkson aren't on it.

I didn't see the appeal either, a few in work raved about it but I just never found it funny

I don't mind Clarkson on there to be honest, its Jo Brand that makes me want to turn it off. I can't watch an episode if she features

Well Jo is brilliant as a comic actress, but she is not the greatest contestent, even if the most frequent on QI.

Sandi just grates on me.

The characters and also that the show seems improvised and live.
Guess it's toilet humour in places but good harmless fun

See, it is just harmless.

And that's good.

But my tastes are not sweet, but bitter, when it comes to humour.

My failing, I guess.

No TV - so what's on the internet.

Auf Wiedersehen Pet - fav prog of all time - Phoenix Nights another goody and The Young Ones.
Strangely sis was telling me today about Dead Famous DNA and the Eva Braun story - maybe check it out as like history progs.

Can't cope with panel games with witty people sometimes in the loose sense of the word.

Love detective stuff:
Wallender
Endeavour
and for a bit of fluff Cagney and Lacey reruns

Comedy:
Soft spot for Gavin and Stacey
in the past Stella Street

Travel progs:
Anything with Simon Reeve - cute and it's not always a 4 star hotel
Karl Pilkington - know where he is coming from at times...still waiting second series on You Tube.
Top Gear - bit hit and miss with these guys but thought the Myanmar/Burma one was fab going through Shan province - the bridge bit though was a bit laboured at the end.

Loved the first series of Gervais's Derek
Second series begins in a few weeks on Channel 4.

Coronation Street on the telly. 60 minutes makeover or any makeover show, Come Dine With Me and I like all those Border Patrol shows at the airports especially Sydney because I used to work there.

FMTV on the laptop (Food Matters TV)

oh and TPV of course.

Normally TV is like Radio One or some fucking bullshit muzak on the sound system of some shop somebody draggged me into.

Corrie uncluded.

Its fucking painful and the people who resent one saying so, are the same people who balk at the sound of musical masterpieces or the sound of the sea.

Banal-kin

And boy do they hate.
