Probably the best documentary maker out there right now. Yup. Apart from Jazz. Zzzzzz. The Civil War is my personal favourite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Spooked Scotland. Paranormal investigation show featuring Gail Porter and some even more annoying Yank. It's fantastically shite. Utter utter fannies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Inadvertently witnessed a few seconds of Celebrity Gogglebox last night. I don't think I have the words to properly express how much the concept would rile me if I was actually watching it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITV4 level celebrities watching tv shows in their house, and getting paid handsomely for it. Fuck me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzydunlop Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I've got sucked into watching something on CH4 with two teams building a 'bridge' out of bamboo in vietnam to reach an Island about 1000 feet from the mainland. The team who gets there first wins £200K - but only one of the team(of 8 folk) will win the £200K Difficult really to describe it without sounding like its just a mad dream. Its utterly pointless but some of it is brutal. Spoiler alert if yer watching Last night, with about three quarters of the bridge done. The team members were offered £25K on the spot to leave the competition early. To put in context this had been literally days of cutting bamboo, tying it together with rope, and putting it together as bridge in the sea -from dusk til dawn. Sleeping in a basic camp, poor food etc. Not fun basically. Pros for leaving -well they get £25K and get away from the hell of it all cons -they leave a team they have been part of for the past week, built up friendships so ultimately leave tthem high and dry, and of course the person leaving wont be able to claim any of the £200K prize. One team stood firm and no one left. The other team, a few of them wanted to go so it came to a vote. The 'winner' was this Welsh lad who appears to have some financial issues so the guaranteed £25K would "change his life". As he walked out the camp he got to a box with the money. However there was a caveat that he would only get the money if he smashed up 6 pieces of their bridge. Funny as f*ck. The guys walking away and they are all waving, he gets given an axe and starts smashing up the bridge - it then cuts back to the camp who can see him in the distance "what's he doing....?" Total bullsh*t TV but I must admit I love reality programmes where the people in them getting royally f*cked over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 1 had everyone working as one team (some a lot harder than others) - the 2 competing teams is the new thing this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Murder in the Alps. 3 episodes on Channel 4 running from last night to Tuesday. Looks at the murder unsolved for last 10 years of the Surrey family and French cyclist who all go shot up a mountain road in the alps (expect the youngest kid). I’d followed the case anyway but I think you’ll see why the police are so stumped. Was it a hitman hired by the brother of the dad of the family? (He laughs heartily at the idea of killing his family in once creepy scene). Was the mum the target (her ex died on the same day)? Was it British secret service stopping the dad selling secret nuclear or satellite tech? Was the French cyclist the real target (his wealthy in-laws took out a newspaper ad to say he was just an innocent passer by). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cyclist went through a red light, the father over-reacted and it all got out of hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Iplayer is it only recommends like one show at a time, so if you want to watch first ministers questions you need to type out every single letter then select the second option because the Welsh donny comes up first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
