I think Pillars of the Earth is a little 'flabby' - the narrative is a bit ponderous but I'm loving the action and I think the casting of the characters is really good - apart from William who I thought would be a lot more rumbunctious. More of a rugger bugger. Still, a enjoying it quite alot but its not really holding me.


Isnt X factor for children and the simple?

I'm really enjoying 'The Only Way is Essex' currently on ITV2. The acting is superb, the characters are fantastic and the female actresses are pure class and breathtakingly beautiful.


It makes a nice change for ITV2 to broadcast some intelligent drama for us intellects..

Modern Family, Family Guy, bothtechnical examples of fine Americam comedy. Box set wise,it's imossible to top The Wire, though The Shield comes very close. Friend has just started work on what channel four are touting as Britain's answer to the Wire. Scheduled for transmission autumn next year. Called Top Boy. You heard it here first.

BBC4 can usually be relied upon for a gently-paced film on post-war architecture in coastal towns, or the story of the escalator and its impact upon suburban sexual habits, or perhaps even, if we are being treated, a social history of the motorway junction.


These should usually feature some recently discovered archive footage of a minor 40s poet extemporising on the miracle of "the electric", still images of empty shopping precincts, and inerviews with two racy-looking sisters of a certain age about tea dances next to the J20 (northbound) on the M1.

After a flying start, this got more and more silly, and I could baely be arsed watching the last couple.


A woman giving birth quietly under a collapsed cathederal was one of the more realistic parts.

    • I'm trying to find a venue for my daughter's 18th but it's really difficult. Most venues don't want 18th birthday parties. We were looking at Brockwell Hall (The newly refurbed big ol' house in the park) but they want 4.5k for a night which has to finish at 11pm. My daughter tells me her friends don't go out till 11 which I think may be an exageration but I get her point. I'm looking for a bar/club type venue where I can have a DJ till 1/2am and that's about it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    • “Fair points, not arguing with you on them” This outbreak of civility between us is beginning to worry me ! im approaching pension age soon enough myself and im sorry to hear your position isn’t great.  But current pensions are not the result of  any 1 year government (they literally couldn’t be) but decades of priorities across multiple govts and voter priorities  21k won’t get your fat these days as a worker. Transport and other costs before they even get to accommodation. And they will work hard for that then you have the grey economy and zero hour contracts where people earn far less than that  again - your position doesn’t sound great but that’s no reason to deny a new generation  Me and jazzer at next forum drinks  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/mar/28/dining-across-the-divide-i-see-the-welfare-state-as-bloated-corrupt
