Best Shows On TV Now

[Peace-Phoenix]

What do you tune into at the moment? What's keeping you hooked?

[Cerebus]

Nothing. Oh alright, i always tune into QI. That "Coast" programme was interesting last night, other than that... not much!

[paulfreespirit]

not much " can i have a refund on me tele . just had to renew tv license (robbin bastards ) think it was £116 last year "now gone up to £136 and what do we get either american imported shite big brother chefs who fuckin swear alot lads to ladettes x factor bollocks how fuckin clean is your home (well it wont get any fuckin cleaner whilst sitting on yer arse watching us telling you that your living in shite will it)make me a supermodel (havin a laugh arent yer ) airline ( oh sorry sir your planes been delayed for about two fuckin months hardshit but we can recomend you the dearest hotel on the planet to stay in while you wait for a flight fly me to the moon take me to the stars wish someone could take me to the stars man ) and no to mention repeats .its a pleasure visiting the rovers return these days (well not quite ).

[Cerebus]

Yeah, i'm an Eastenders man personally, but it's a sad state of affairs that a bloody soap is the best thing on to watch. Not including the Planet Earth repeats of course. Anything with Attenborough is essential viewing.

[paulfreespirit]

at least they have a jukebox in the vic :) as for david attenborough great viewing "really enjoy watching his programmes .

[lithium]

I've been immensely enjoying Lead Balloon on BBC4 which has just finished, along with The Late Edition with Marcus Brigstocke also on BBC4 - live topical satire which is a bit hit and miss to be honest, but it sometimes hits the spot. There's no such thing as live comedy on TV anymore so this is a breath of fresh air sometimes. This week's commentary on the US elections and Rumsfeld's resignation was classic TV.

But er ... that's it. My TV's barely been on.

Miami vice on itv4

Something degenrees show live on Five Life
Simpsons on channel four
How they built london on Itv1
Cubex due to start this fucking sunday. Looks pretty good.
X factor (Highest ever ratings)

Yeah, I watch Eastenders most nights, but the plots and characters are really crap at the moment. The only decent one is Phil Daniels for the comedy value, but even he's not on top form.

Lost is probably the best thing on TV at the moment I think....

[J0hn]

Filmfour. Now channel four has ditched Quizcall channel number 32 for Filmfour plus one. Finally someone saw the light. I watched Dr Cyclops today on channel 32. This now means that one has two movie channels on freeview. This is excellent. So really I am tuning into Filmfour alot more now. Once you sit down and watch, you get really into it. I hope they have some good stuff on at christmas.




" For some freeviewers, a rescan may be needed. For more advice just pull my tail:)

[Cerebus]

Oh, and i've decided i like Torchwood quite a bit, even if the fairies episode was a bit naff. It's just over-the-top fun, the way it should be. Pterodactyl vs Cyberwoman?? Who can complain about that..??! :)

That Captain Jack definately needs to get both his eyes pointing in the right direction though, bless.

Never Mind the Buzzcocks with Simon Amstell ... liked Mark Lamarr but got a bit bored with him, Amstell has reinvigorated the show, always worth watching for his scathingly personal rudeness towards his guests!

Next week, he makes Preston off Big Brother storm off the show!:D

Mock the Week!

[mellowthyme]

Has anyone seen Monkey Dust which got onto BBC2 for a showing but was mainly on BBC3? It hasn't been shown for maybe a year to two.

[bokonon]

I can't say I watch much tele nowadays. Films of course, but that's a bit differant. But last week I proclaimed BBC2 as TV Champions at the minute, their Sunday night is pretty sweet!

You've got...Natural World (With music by Brian Eno if I'm not mistaken), Meerkat Manor (With Bill Nighy), Top Gear, Ray Mears (Legend!), Match of the Day 2 and even some Family Guy!

Top that ;)

I think Transmission is a real gem of a music show, on Friday nights late on Channel 4. Lauren Laverne and that bloke off T4 with the face are actually great presenters, their links are sometimes hilarious. The bands they have on are a bit hit and miss as you'd expect but often there'll be someone worth watching or you might see the first TV performance of a fairly new band. Good stuff!http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/icons/newicons/icon14.gif

[Ambient Fraggle]

It has to be shipwrecked.........

[Peace-Phoenix]

Got to love Peep Show, looking forward to the new series. Have been enjoying Prison Break too....

[fountains of nay]

There's nothing really on nowadays that I want to tune into, apart from the odd documentary (tonight I watched the story of the Tsar assasination and the legend of Anastasia).
Bring back Skins and Shameless and SPACED!

[Maanling]

Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who Doctor Who! :D :D :D
Oh, and "the Wonderful World of Weird" on CBBC is really cool too.. ^^

[phoenix_indigo]

um so i take it you hate Doctor Who

;)

[J0hn]

Channel 21 at 10:30. Drawn together

channel 20 at 19:00 Gladiators

BBC1 Eastenders and Castaway.

Drawn together is the best programme at the moment. it may be from 2004 but it is still hilarious.

[ripple]

Peep show, yip.
Not much good stuf on at the mo. Derren Browns new show starts soon (maybe tonight?) I liked 'dont watch that watch this' and occassionally watch 'its not easy being green'. Louis Theroux's new programmes should be good too.

[paulfreespirit]

two pints of lager and a packet of crisps ..............

[Quoth the Raven]

Channel 5, thursdays, 10 PM: Shark. Fuckin' awesome, depsite being American.

[dapablo]

I share Doctor Who with Shannon but thats about it really.

[lithium]

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Flight of the Conchords
Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe
Saxondale (just finished)

That's the sum total of my current weekly viewing - it's a bit excessive but there's a lot of good stuff around at the moment!

[lithium]

Mighty Boosh - third series, BBC3
Lead Balloon (Jack Dee) - second series, BBC2 I think
Marcus Brigstocke's Late Edition, Thursdays BBC4

What are you currently watching?

[lithium]

Is there anything worth watching on TV at the moment? I've realised that I haven't been watching any broadcast TV for ... months ...:confused:

[Peace-Phoenix]

There's a new series of Peep Show Fridays on Channel 4....

[lithium]

TV is rubbish these days (apart from David Mitchell - love that man, he gave me a kiss!!!!) But it's about to get really really good. Well for one night only!

[Finnaz]

You got a kiss off Sir Mitchell? *jealousy*

Waking the Dead just finished I think, that's always good on the non-comedic side.

[Moon_Beam]

Oh I did, he is so charming it was hard not to jump him:tongue:

Never watched waking the dead, I think This Morning and Paul O'Grady are always great oh and To buy or not to buy - but it must be with Kristian and Dominic!
