The Goggle Box

[SeanMacGabhann]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I can't recall a TV equivalent of the music room/cinema/book threads, so I thought I'd clear some bandwith for TV moments

2 to start

I know Gervais annoys people as much as he entertains others but for me, this was the TV highlight of the Christmas schedules - in fact, of the year

Celeb Culture

And, as I've relentlessly banged on about it, the first ever scene in The Wire

Snot Boogy

nothing comes of the scene but it sets the stall out for the show - the up and downside of the American Dream...good guys and bad guys not in diametrically opposed positions...

Ooh. Could I be behind Keef in the borrow-up?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm always passe but have just watched one and a half series of "Life on Mars". Am loving it and absolutely fab music.

[SeanMacGabhann]

obviously people have to be careful with spoiler - I very nearly did the finale to LoM as soon as you mentioned it!

flawed tho it was (the reset button was hit every week on any lessons learned in the last episode for example) I really enjoyed watching the whole thing. But no, I wouldn't want the real world to regress back to the Gene Hunt's of the world - as an Irishman I'd be f***ed for a start

And the sequel - Ashes to Ashes - worries me. But I'll give it a go

And yes you are officially next up for Series 1 boxset of t'Wire

But no more posting without adding some TV gold - I miss this series very very much - this is the news!

Day Today

(why haven't news producers gleaned ANYTHING from this???)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

That was fun. What channel was/is it on?

[SeanMacGabhann]

That was a BBC job from early 90's - now available on DVD

[Keef]

I really liked

I keep misreading the thread title as the google box. Probably because I spend so much time online that there's little room left in my life for telly.

Anyone seen Moving Wallpaper, that new programme about the writing of the new "continuing drama" Echo Beach? Though it was reasonably sharp for a comedy drama. Reminded a touch of Drop the Dead Donkey. And its on ITV

One of my all-time favourites was was the brilliant Spaced.

Male Telepathy
