jimmy boo Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Speaking of Sky, my channel 102 is BBC2 Wales - at least it was the last time I checked. Most of the time this doesn't matter as the programmes are the same as BBC2 Scotland, but it's irritating. Anybody know how I can fix this?It let's you set your preferred regions in settings somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then your BBC2 and locale will sync nicely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Watching a show on channel 5 called "when classic comedy goes horribly wrong". One part is about Peter Kay on the Alan Carr show. Kay falls off his seat causing much hilarity. The show then shows tweets about this scene from the time. One asks "Is he pissed?" and the tweeter is identified as @Bigmouth Strikes Again. Thank you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught 5 minutes of this pish when the kids went to bed. My week of dark beer, spicy curry and Internet pornography is almost at an end.

I thought the last BBC adaption was bad, but that American/French co-production with Gabriel Byrne was something else. Think I made it three or four episodes in, by which point we'd seen a few robot dogs and neither hide nor hair of an alien. Stupefying boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupefying boring. the American/French one with Gabriel Byrne, it was awful. I stopped after 2, still no aliens by 3/4 episodes? There was so much wrong with it hard to know where to begin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was like they wanted to make an entirely different show, then someone came up with the wheeze of slapping the War of the Worlds name on because it's public domain and free. I read that it got a second season and has something of a fan base, with a third season only being delayed due to COVID. f**k me, I just checked and the third season is being broadcast now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that it got a second season and has something of a fan base, with a third season only being delayed due to COVID. f**k me, I just checked and the third season is being broadcast now! Yeah your right it had that exact feeling Small Plot spoiler ahead: Im surprised it got a 2nd let alone a 3rd. It was so bland and for that type of story where your basically following a group of survivors you need to be invested in the characters at least a bit. The actress from downton abby, it was like she was playing the same role. Exactly the same acting as in Downton. Byrne was terrible. It was weird how things progressed. Like when Byrne finds out some crucial info and goes to his exwife who hes been stalking , meets her new man throws him down the stairs kills him, he seems to just take it in his stride like its no big deal , then hes hiding the body and Byrne and exwife go off. It all seemed slightly off like whole scenes were missing or they just couldnt be bothered Edited October 23, 2022 by BigDoddyKane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Mrs Boo has forbade (?) me watching 48 hours of sport for a couple of hours. The wheel with that insufferable c**t McIntyre is on which thankfully I've never seen before. And will never see again. She's not even bloody watching it!![emoji2959] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Kersey Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I just watched the first episode of SAS Rogue Heroes on BBC1. It was quite entertaining and amusing. I reckon I'll stick with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 The Devil’s Hour on iPlayer is pretty excellent. Great cast, although Alex Ferns is either incapable of, or deliberately not, showing any emotion at all. Unlike most child actors, who are dreadful, the wee boy is terrifically creepy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
