On another note, Never Mind The Buzzcocks is to end after 18 years, the BBC will not be making a 29th series: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32889471

I finished watching the first season of Arrow last night and, overall, I thought it was pretty good.
As with all new shows, the first couple of episodes were fast-paced, setting the narrative and introducing the main characters. The show started to slow-down towards the middle with most episodes having their own self-contained storylines. The season-long story arc became more prominent as the show progressed - something which I enjoy as I like episodic cliffhangers - ending in an explosive finale.
I'm in the process of obtaining season two now, can't wait to watch it.

(27 May 2015, 2:35 pm)Jimmi Yeah it is quite sad to see it go although the last few series' weren't great.
It used to be a great show even when Simon Amstell hosted it, it's another show I often used to watch the repeats multiple times on Dave but I haven't seen it on there in ages and when it is on its one of the more recent series.
Don't think I ever saw it when Mark Lamarr hosted it unfortunately.

(27 May 2015, 2:43 pm)MurdnunoC I've watched all of Better Call Saul. I thought it was alright however it is not as action-packed as Breaking Bad. It's quite slow-paced and different to Breaking Bad. If you're expecting something similar then you might be disappointed.

(27 May 2015, 2:44 pm)Robert As i summed up in my post above, i don't think that Lamarr was a great host. Here is the first episode of the show with Lamarr hosting (as he did for 17 series): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5YGRTD1pvINot seen a Lamarr episode so I may watch it tonight and report back here with my verdict.
You may think otherwise.

(27 May 2015, 3:08 pm)MurdnunoC Then you probably won't like it when I say I thought Breaking Bad was vastly overrated.
Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it, but some were going on like it was the best television show ever. Critics often rate The Wire as the best television ever produced. Now I'm not saying whether it was or it wasn't, but in my opinion Breaking Bad pales in comparison to The Wire.

I don't watch stuff like Game Of Thrones etc. The sort of stuff i like watching are things such as The Jeremy Kyle Show (mainly to see how chavy the people are), Judge Judy and Judge Rinder (for the putdowns) and anything else which i classify as 'decent TV'.
Anyone watching BGT tonight? Surprised I've retained interest for so long...
I'm not sure who I'd like to win tonight - the dancing group was excellent again and I thought that the all male vocal group was quite good too. I found the magic man absolutely phenomenal in his audition, so I hope he ups his game.
