Discovered the Bonanza Bonanza channel.
There are some classics on there that I remember watching as a youngster (repeats obviously).
Flash Gordon - 1954 series. Is on at the mo.
Over the course of the last week, The Lucy Show, The Lone Ranger, The Beverley Hillbillies and Bonanza have been on.

They're dated as owt, but great.
If you don't like them, your folks or Grandparents will!

The BBC has announced that the tenth series of Waterloo Road will be its last.

The broadcaster admitted that it is "incredibly proud of the show" but believes it has reached "the end of its lifecycle". Another 20 episodes will be aired before the show finishes in 2015.

Good decision, its starting to repeat old story lines and starting to get really boring.

Never really watched the show - but have seen bits when flicking about.
Did notice the actors who had North West accents appear when the school was located in that part of England.
When filming moved to Scotland, pupils and staff suddenly seemed to all have Scottish accents - even though it was supposed to be in the same school Wink

Never watched it since the first few series. Chelsee Healey is amazing though.

Season 2 of Hannibal has been great so far.

It's now about half-way through its 13 episode run in the US (not sure if S2 has started in the UK yet!) and I can't wait to see how the series develops from here.

It's been primary medium for watching the shows I like for quite some time.

It started off with downloading Smallville every Friday morning from Season 5 onwards, then it was Heroes; The Office (US); Parks and Recreation; The Big Bang Theory and so on...

Also, without the internet, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to watch shows like The Wire or Breaking Bad.

It looks like there are a stack of old comedies on all weekend!

On the Buses and The Likely Lads films are usually on over Bank Holiday weekends. Since I can't be arsed to look through the television schedule, does anyone know whether they're on or not?

Had a look earlier and it seems not - not between now and Sunday anyway.

The Likely Lads film was only a few quid on the counter at HMV on Northumberland Street the other day like.

Just had the chance to catch up with the last "The Michael McIntyre Chat Show". If you've watched any of the other episodes, you'll be familiar with the game "Send to All". Michael and James Corden swapped phones and sent a message to all of their phone contacts - absolutely brilliant.

Will be watching that later. Read this article in The Guardian earlier, so it should be a good watch.

Anyone remember Worzel Gummidge? I watched every episode as a kid with my nana and I recently remembered it - currently watching Series 1 now. Up to Episode 3!

I am aware of Worzel Gummidge though I never really watched it as a kid. I remember it airing on Channel 4 at approximately 10:45 on a Sunday morning (just after Pob, IIRC) but it failed to spark my interest as I thought it looked boring.

Did anyone watch the 'When Corden met Barlow' documentary last night? I thought it was an interesting insight into his life!

RE: General TV thread
I'm currently watching Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson had just interviewed Jonathan Ross. When I've watched The Jonathan Ross Show in the past I've often wondering what people mean by 'he has a lisp', but just watching the interview now I could barely understand a word he was saying. Really bizarre.
