RE: General TV thread - Andreos1 - 06 Oct 2014 (06 Oct 2014, 8:25 pm)Dan I remember reading a statement from one of the writers justifying showing the 'rape scene' pre-watershed. There are all sorts of justifications or reasons for doing something - and I am a massive fan of the media being used as some sort of tool to help or encourage others, whether it is rape or an illness/disease of some type. However, regardless of how long ago something happened with the celebrities and the allegations of assault, I hope the constant news coverage has encouraged victims to come forward. As, as for the writer justifying that scene... Linda picking her knickers off the floor would have probably been understood by many - regardless of age. UPDATE: Ofcom have stated there have been a number of complaints re last nights scene. Without getting into the numbers complaining versus the total number of viewers debate - I am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination and have had a non-sheltered life, experiencing/witnessing a number of things, that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I was taken aback by the scene last night, so can only begin to imagine the impact it has had on others (good or bad). It didn't leave much to the imagination and I am pleased, that my eldest son didn't see the scene.

It seems to be split into two different segments. One being Sunderland, the other Newcastle/Gateshead. I won't spoil it you haven't seen it, but its quite interesting to watch. No idea what the output will be like once it broadcasts fully like.

After being teased on the EPG for months, I can't wait to give this a viewing. Can't see it being up to much but I'll keep an open mind. RE: General TV thread - Michael - 12 Oct 2014 It's being announced that Martian Fowler has being recast - new actor is called James Bye - New EastEnders cast addition Bye's previous screen credits include parts in The Great Train Robbery and The Hooligan Factory.

Anybody watching? RE: General TV thread - Adam - 14 Oct 2014 (14 Oct 2014, 8:13 pm)aureolin Apprentice tonight! Anybody watching? Me! As a Business student, I feel as if I ought to watch it. It's beyond belief how arrogant some of the contestants are. Re: RE: General TV thread - Adrian - 14 Oct 2014 (14 Oct 2014, 9:37 pm)Adam Me! As a Business student, I feel as if I ought to watch it.

RE: General TV thread - MurdnunoC - 15 Oct 2014 I managed to catch the Made in Tyne and Wear channel the other night but it's still showing the same preview clips that have been airing since the beginning of August. I was under the impression that programming had started. Does anyone know when it will? Will we get repeat episodes of Quayside? RE: General TV thread - Michael - 15 Oct 2014 Waterloo Road starts tonight... BBC 1 at 8pm RE: General TV thread - Dan - 15 Oct 2014 Intend on watching The Apprentice tonight before Waterloo Road. Shame it's the last series of the latter, though I have enjoyed it less in the last few series compared to the first few.

I think its split so 10 episodes then 10 more in 2015 RE: General TV thread - Michael - 15 Oct 2014 Did anyone watch the first episode of the new season of The Walking Dead? Best episode so far. No spoilers will be posted. RE: General TV thread - Dan - 17 Oct 2014 Anyone watching that Stand up to Cancer thing with Alan Carr and Davina McCall? Davina's face structure looks rather worrying - almost as if she's back on drugs again - and as I haven't seen her in anything since Big Brother, I could barely recognise her at first. RE: General TV thread - Jimmi - 17 Oct 2014 I turned on at the point where Sarah Millican was rubbing her breasts. Now its Celebrity Googlebox with the regulars and Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Noel Gallagher.

All for charity and awareness, but that's enough to give me nightmares. |
