I love how they secretly negotiated a trick and how much twicki would pay if they could keep the lights on without that smug tw_t Buck realising.


Brendan. In the next clip can we have twicki returning to their table making a big scene of sniffing his fingers and licking his lips.

Didn't really know where to put his so I thought a geeky tv thread was as good as anywhere.


Anyhoo, just read a preview of the new 'Day of the Triffids'. Is anyone else excited about this? The eighties series was a real formative part of my childhood along with the telly adaption of Hitchikers Guide.


Admittedly watching the repeats on BBC3 lately the old one was a bit creaky and those triffids were a bit rubbish (terrified me at the time though) it was still powerful stuff. The new one has a stellar cast including vanessa Redgrave!!


I'm quite excited me.

There's a new series of V? coooooool.

This will be a TV adaption too by the bee. Starts december 28th.


I loved V, but having seen repeats, it has aged horribly, but it seemed solid enough plot wise, just terrible production wise.

Having seen how Battlestar Gallactica improved I could believe good things could come of V.


*rubs thighs at thought of Diana and Juliet*

Hmm will have to set that one to record on my Sky box.


Yes the repeats of V do look very dated now, I loved it when it first came on TV tho. Apparently they played the first 4 episodes of the new version of V in the states but the rest isn't on for a few months. I have seen teaser ads on one of the UK channels (can't remember which one) for next year.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
