I?m enjoying Californication at the moment. It has a pretty shallow plot and explores the much rehashed theme of the man (or-woman of course) unto himself (or herself) going through life bemused by its absurdity, repulsed but dependent at the same time.


Raul Duke, Henry Chinaski, the Dude or Spider Jerusalem but packaged in a more, ?your mum will fancy him? kinda way.


It is playing up to my recent loss of faith in human nature (Like the Daily Mail to a Xenophobic). Plus it has lots of naked ladies.

old hat

Sopranos was the one for the Keef household, but alas it's all over.


Best British made thing was Ideal, but that's finished now too (I think).


Quite liked Rome too, but don't think they're doing a 3rd series... Why have all the good things ended.


Other than that, TV is generally sh!te, I tend to watch DVD's in my evenings.


Am planning to get some DVDs of The Wire and Spooks to give them a go... I find it hard getting in to TV series, because you have to commit to finding the time to watch them.

From what I read, Gene gets a transfer down to London (cue soft southern jokes) in 1982 (if memory serves), and is given a female partner who is a single mother (cue sexist jokes). Sounds bloody great to me!!! >:D<

Thanks for the warning Sean & Mockney resisted reading that blog (well don't want to ruin it now do I), AND then.......................

"Damn you,........ damn you all"


Still Randy is so funny & some good eye candy in Joy & Catalina :))

>>Another show I'm in to and I can highly recommend is Weeds <<


Oh ym goodness yes! The lecture by the uncle to the young nephew on the subject of masturbation in the last series was just hilarious!....as were all the subsequent visual jokes involving snacks of bananas...:))

Who is watching repeats of "No Angels" on Trouble. Funny and sad I think it is brilliant british comedy drama. As some will know I'm very parochial regarding TV. Got to be British. got to be relevant to me and my life.



Caught a little of The Street last night. Is that harrowing or what. Is it any good?

This is what I'm currently watching:

Have been addicted to Japanese tv since my late teens (many moons ago) Japanese drama, comedy and romance series are second to none.


The only thing worth watching at the moment on UKTV for me is the new series of The Mighty Boosh, and I really miss the IT crowd it has to be said.

Has anyone been watching the Tudors on BBC2?


It's the last one next Friday. I thinks it's been brilliant and didn't realise Henry VIII was so hot when he was young! The guy playing his brother-in-law is gorgeous too.


Lots of sex and violence, but set in an historical drama, so acceptable!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
