Finished Breaking Bad (short first season, only 7 episodes). Loved it. Absolutely brilliant.

Decided to start watching The Shield. I've owned it for a while but never watched it, so it's next. With perhaps a little bit of Deadwood between seasons


You have another season and 4 episodes to watch too


I'm too far behind to start downloading it I think, and with other stuff to get through, it's going on the back (Bunsen) burner until Season 2 comes out on DVD. Same with Sons of Anarchy. Season 3 is starting soon but I'll wait until Season 2 comes out on DVD. Already bought DVDs, so must watch DVDs. Don't make me put up a list of all the stuff I still have to watch again

Been really enjoying that new Bruce Parry series on BBC2. I like the way that he tackles even the most emotive subjects with complete detachment, and he passes no judegments whatsoever on the people he meets. Sensitive, bjective journalism of the highest order.

Also, there's been a series about Baroque on Beeb4 of late and that's been really good as well.

I'm watching Season 2 of the Wire at the moment. Turns out putting the show down for a few months was a good way to go, it's really very good.

What did you lot think of the David Mitchell-Charlie Brooker-Lauren Laverne- Unfunny Talentless D*ck Ten o Clock show?

I genuinely like all the talent involved but I haven't watched it cause...I don't think it's the best use of their talent.
Outside of Peep Show Mitchell irritates me, outside of any sort of highly scripted and prepared situation Brooker just flounders, Laverne is a DJ and Carr....he is best suited to presenting to be fair.

Did anyone see that Stargazing Live series on BBC2 a short time ago? I watched a couple of episodes with my uncle, who's well into the subject of astronomy. It proved to be quite a fascinating, easy to follow take on the subject which I found to be quite entertaining.

Have to say my highlights of the programme were Dara O'Briain on helium, and a shooting star being caught live on camera without anyone noticing at first. Me and my uncle were pratically up in arms that they seemed to have missed it!

Just watched The Walking Dead. Goddamn, that is some stellar television (stellarvisiontm). Great cast of characters, some fantastic action.... brilliant.

Been recommended Bored To Death, so might start that next week

The series about Russian art on BBC4 has been fantastic so far. Also, they're repating the Peter Ackroyd show about the Romantics that was first screened six or seven years ago. Well worth a look if you want an easy way into that stuff. Peter Ackroyd is something of a hero of mine.

i watched The Ellen DeGeneres Show a few hours ago; i switched it off once i'd seen Hugh Laurie as the audience get on my nerves. i'm now watching Fry's Planet Word. A couple of minutes ago, Brian Blessed had his hand in ice and was swearing, wow.

Jimmy: Holy sh*t everything's Barry.
Steve-Dave: Everything's better!
Puffalump: Barrier
Steve-Dave: The Barryest it's ever been
Jimmy: I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"
Steve-Dave: Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive
Steve-Dave: It takes like... £13
Steve-Dave: Barry has to walk 5 metres to his car every day... just to go to work and earn money for DVDs and comic books
Steve-Dave: His eyesight is so bad... that he has to wear glasses. Stylish rimless glasses which cost €250
Steve-Dave: His living space is so cramped... that h had to put his workout bench in the garage meaning he doesn't really use it any more
Steve-Dave: But for just €13 a year... You can help Barry afford a DVD that he heard was good but has been out for a while so it's not as expensive as new DVDs
Steve-Dave: Please... Give generously... And help save this poor man's DVD shelf from not being completely full because it just looks weird when it's nearly full. I mean, when it's half full, that's fine. But when there's only a few gaps left... it just looks kinda sad.... y'know
Steve-Dave: Thank you
Rayanne Graff: It scares me when people refer to themselves in the third person.
Steve-Dave: It scares Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. too
Steve-Dave: Like my Grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII Esq. always said: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. gets scared when people refer to themselves in the third person, and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. promises to never do that"
Steve-Dave: And like my twin brother, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. (or Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. for short) says: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. doesn't like when people refer to themselves in the third person. You and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. must have gotten that from our grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq."
Rayanne Graff: You nerds crack me up.
Steve-Dave: Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. all try our best
Rayanne Graff: ... in the pants department.
