Good example - what's on the two channels right now?


BBC Three - new: festivals, sex and suspicious parents - Harry and Hannah go to their first festival experience.


Originality 0/10 - pointlessly following two kids around a muddy field for their first concert. Yawn.


BBC Four - Dancing in the Blitz: How world war 2 made British ballet - the birth of the royal ballet during a period of austerity.


Originality 8/10 - unique and something you'd struggle to find anywhere else. The story of an institution.

Yep, BBC4. I enjoy some of those too.


A few years back I watched Family Guy most nights for a month or so on BBC3. Since that time I have never watched BBC3 or Family Guy again.

To be honest I was vaguely swayed by the article until two things.

Firtsly he reminded me that BBC3 was responsible for two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, a programme so painfully awful it made Miranda look like Fawlty Towers, and secondly he used the word trope...gnnnahhahhaaaaaah

BBC3 was past it before it really got there


However, as we're in TV land, i'm rather partial to 'Yesterday' which is great for Nazi hunters and stuff like that


Of course that 'stuff' is solo watching, my other half looks and groans silently when she see's what i'm watching


"At least it's not Dave" I feebly plead as she heads upstairs



But leave BBC4 well alone please

Yes started on BBC2 and then shanked off to BBC3. A show so dreadful no one mourned it's passing.

Well yesterday on 'Yesterday' they had the guy from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre trying to find Dr Death Aribet Heim . After years of persuit it turns out he died in Egypt, but no body or bones to be tested. And 2 million euro in a German bankaccount untouched


Of course he'd be 94 by now, so finding him alive is slim, but a great programme it was


BBC3 was shite

ha! Thanks! I will definitely check 'Mongrels' out.


There was also a great animated series about a bunch of lab animals that had escaped from the lab they were kept in. It was on BBC2 after Newsnight about 7+ years ago. It was hilarious but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. In fact there were a handful of great UK made adult-themed cartoons back then that just disappeared off our screens.

    • Loki hasn’t been seen since Sunday. He’s all grey but if you look closely he has faint stripes on the top of his tail. No pedigree, just very much loved. About 4 years old. No collar, but chipped.  please keep an eye out for him. We live on Barry Road SE22
    • I went in here the other day. The fruit is all really good - ripe and fresh. They also sell good bread (and croissants and pastries) from a independent bakery, the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦 The prices (which are marked) are not cheap but they are fair imo. Comparable to the specialist fruit shop on Lordship Lane (Brothers?) for really good quality. It's similar prices to Simply Fresh - but Simply Fresh's fruit and veg is very poor. Beaten about and tasteless. Sainsbury's is certainly cheaper. IMVHO they're a good addition to the Dulwich Village "retail offer".
    • Went actually for the first time yesterday. Terrific food, so was well pleased. Agree with previous poster to support.
    • Hi!! Moving house soon so looking for some cardboard boxes. Anyone know of any shops or cafes that may be giving some away?
