well I liked it. do we need our sunday night drama to be all high fallutin'? no we do not. entertaining, I thought it was. yoda am i.


thought the score was a bit overblown at times though, like a lorry beeping when it reverses, to show there was SOMETHING IMPORTANT about to happen

I agree with you RosieH about the score. That got very annoying.

Also the convict guy. double annoying.


but the 11 year old was good.


it was kind of crappy but I kind of enjoyed it. It was a bit more exciting than midsomer murders which is the usual Sunday thing isnt it?

I think Survivor has been getting a bit better, but have you seen the latest 'news' from the beeb who'll be remaking The Day of the Triffids next.


What's with all this apocalyptic stuff? Is it symptomatic of a wider social malaise brought on by the recession, global warming, bird flu or are tv producers having a case of the blues?

she doesn't, as the crusty lady pointed out at the pathetic attempts at organised justice "this is buullshit", but frankly it's typical of a politicians ego to put take on imagined burdens and imagine themselves more important than they are, she's actaully just the chief executive of a small eco farm.


I can't understand why noone's made for the nearest army base and stocked up, that's the number one rule of any apocalypse, the people with guns survive. Haven't the writers read the Zombie Survival Guide?!?!

still liking her little utopia? Mind you, it's got an xbox, I might be torn between my inherent loathing of fascist regimes and my desire to play Call of Duty.

Of course, I'm guessing the likelihood of a decent online team-deathmatch are much reduced, there are days I can't find anyone playing Project Gotham at all in a world of 6 billion, leave alone 6 million.


The last time the population was that size incidentally, is around the end of the ice-age, so it's remarkable how many people they seem to bump into and jut how territorial everyone seems to be when the entire population of the UK is now roughly that of Letchworth!!

I never said I liked her or her utopia, my comment regarding the weight of the new world was tongue in cheek. I was picking up on your assumption of her political persuasion, which is irrelevant. I know it was a joke though so I'm not getting worked up about it.

I liked last night's one although the little vignette with the 2 hard geezers that the doctor dispatched was a little pointless. I suppose it was to reinforce the strength of the group.

Max is a beast isn't he?

"Willing suspension of disbelief, willing suspension of disbelief sir."


Yeah I know, although I'm a bit willing suspension of disbeliefed out after the last series of Spooks which was ludicrous even by their generous measure.


And yeah, only pulling your leg there Asset, and agree about that scene, it was almost like it was giving them something to do. I think it would have been much better if it had been a classic middle england couple a la Hyacinth Bucket, armed with scones and a cheery demeanour, admiring the state of curtains. That would have been far creepier.

You take that back about Spooks!


It was bloody marvellous and the season cliffhanger was a real "Noooooo!" moment.


And as a hetrosexual male I didn't think anyone would replace the Penry-Jones in my heart but Lucas brings a dash of of Timothy Dalton to what was a Roger Moore lead male. Oh, and, errr, that blond sort is a bit of alright.


As for Survivors....I sucumbed to the virus and gave up after episode 2. Along with 90% of the television viewing public.

Spooks is brilliant - been in thrall to that Lucas chap since he was a brooding northern mill owner (even stood by him through the grim leathery Gisbourne years). So Spooks jumped the shark some time ago; meh, tell it to Jack Bauer.


Back to Survivors, what I don't understand is why crusty lady isn't getting it on with the absolutely delicious Alan Johnson, rather than that rabbit slaying maniac?

You mean after the Harry-decapitated-at-point-blank-with-shotgun...oh no, look he's fine cliffhanger of yesteryear?

It is all a bit flash gordon isn't it.


I bought series 1 on DVD a bit ago, and the main difference is that there were more than 5 people in MI5 apparently back then.

It is great entertainment, but the daft quotient has gone through the roof.


And I'm sorry, but the final episode was one very long run down a corridor to stop [add bad thing happening here].

Bad thing could have been my hamster dying or the sky falling in; the fact that it was a really big bad thing didn't stop the endless corridor from being a bit dull frankly.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
