19QOS19 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Is it ever not on the telly though? Don't get me wrong, it's perfect for a hangover cure on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but I can't see the point of box set, that's what they invented ITV3+4 for.Seems to be the same episodes each week annoyingly. 5 Star seem to have the most but ITV4 have been showing them recently and they are ones that haven't been on the tele for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back I got the father in law a Columbo box set. The box it came in was a large cigar box which I thought was quite cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Did anyone see Eat Well For Less earlier? There was a youngish lassie on who was married with two kids but had never eaten anything apart from chicken nuggets, chips or really basic food. Greg Wallace and the other guy were rightly concerned and made her try stuff. She’d never tried any fruit and didn’t know what a cauliflower was along with never trying fish or liking any spices. She had an issue with one of her kids being unwell but ffs, this is mental. Eating a grape as if it was something from another planet. There's an apprentice at my work who has never tried soup. He didn't have Christmas dinner, he had chicken nuggets. I don't interact with him, he disgusts me. His parents are obviously scumbags as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fascinated by it tbh. I would pay them to eat stuff on YouTube, would go viral. This lassie hadn’t eaten a strawberry, watermelon, grapes, olives any type of fish but had two kids and seemed normal. Her mum was the same. Weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Catching A Killer on Channel 4 last night was fascinating stuff. Well worth looking up if you get the chance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Nosejob Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Stewart Copeland unsurprisingly ruining “Adventures in Music” on BBC Four through his smugness and inability to consider an opposing point of view. A real shame as the concept of the programme seemed promising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten how good it is, particularly Falk but also the unusual nature of the crimes. Is it available via any of the normal streaming services? Iirc he was quite aggressive in the pilot episode, then changed to become the fantastic Columbo we all know and love now. I don't think it would've been a success had he not done so, wasn't very likeable when he was bullying and shouting at a woman to get an answer to his question, the softer approach where he just wears them down with persistence, while starting off looking like a bumbling annoying fool, right up to the point where the murderer realizes Columbo has him bang to rights is much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted something on the actual Columbo thread about that and someone said he had never shouted. It was that long since I saw it that I started to doubt myself! Glad someone else remembers [emoji38] I agree. The soft approach is the whole point of the show IMO. If he was aggressive he wouldn't come across as the perceived bumbling idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite shocked when I saw that episode again in a repeat, after being used to seeing his subtle and cunning way of catching the murderer, letting them believe they were so much smarter than him that they didn't have anything to worry about. Thankfully they realized very quickly it was the wrong approach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need the raincoat and scruffy hair [emoji38] I quite like that episode as a departure from his usual modus operandi. He takes no shite there, even fakes a suicide to get the boy to confess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if this has been said, too lazy to read back through this thread, those bloody TUI ads, away and get them tae f**k, even with the sound turned down they're annoying, cause you can see that stupid patting thing they do with their hands. Oh and put U in the middle, what does that even mean, would be better if they put you first, no in the fucking middle.

I think they're alluding to the fact that you're at the centre of everything they do. Certainly, moving money from your bank account to theirs is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
