Steven Buntings quarter and semi final stood out for me though, as it shows how much of a quality player he really is. I was gutted about Taylor/Barney yesterday, as Barney seemed to crumble a bit by the occasion. Over the moon for Gary Anderson though!
Anyone watching the 2015 world championship?
Mint final between Taylor amd Anderson
Darts having problems staying in the board though....already changed the board once
Plenty BDO action from the lakeside still to go

Yes it was, glad Gary Anderson won, I don't really like Phil Taylor that much.

I'm so far behind on my Sky Plus viewing that I'm still watching Christmas special's, it feels weird watching them in January.

Does anyone else think the trio on Badults is one of the most terrible groups of comedians ever?!
Watching the FA Cup 50 Greatest Moments, and they're doing little bits and pieces. One makes an unfunny joke and the other two can't breathe with laughter?? What the hell?!
And Badults....wow. What an absolute sham of a show - I don't know how the BBC agreed to air it after seeing the scripts?!
They are pathetic 'comedians'...

Wow, this new version of Stars in Their Eyes is terrible.

Think I'd sooner watch SpongeBob than either of these.
Not a fan of The Voice or X Factor, I just can't bare them as much of the time these programmes people don't vote on singing ability as some just vote who is the hottest and women won't vote for women especially if they come across as slappers.
I'm am slightly laughing at Stars in Their Eyes but it is more who bad it is, nowt else on though so I guess this will be on my TV most Saturday's for the next few weeks.

Thought about watching TG but I saw one of the bits on that episode on the DVD I got for Christmas.
Take Me Out is on in the background.

He isn't as annoying as i thought he'd be! I don't like the way they have merged a bit of TV Burp into it (when he supposedly goes off and does other things). I also don't like the way he keeps saying 'non-live final'. Yes he made the point of the final not been live but is there a need to keep saying it every time he mentions the voting process? 'Final' would do. I did however like the way they started out with somebody impersonating Kylie like the first ever guest of the original version Series 1 Episode 1 1990 - Leslie Crowther). Whether that was set up or was just ironic, i don't know. The 1990 episode in question is currently on Challenge (nearly finished now but a second episode starts at 21:30!)

Is he good or bad? There's only one way to find out...FIGHT!!!

Harry Hill used to be good.
I don't like his more recent stuff such as TV Burp when it had stuff like wagbo and the big woman from Eastenders and other random tangents.
Not big on You've Been Framed either, partly because it now seems so outdated.

You have been really cheeky tonight, first the joke regarding me getting a grilling and then this. I think somebody needs a smacked bottom!

I don't know what to say. Wasn't a fan of TV Burp myself and i'm rather glad its no longer made.

You have to excuse him Robert, he does not get out much, and Durham and Bishop in one day has clearly taken its toll....

Hehe. I've had some Ben & Jerry's...so apologies bouncing around all over the forum!

I always found Harry Hill a bit annoying, although there are some episodes of TV Burp that I found amusing! I like that one where he says something like...'Isn't it weird when you end up looking like the person you're talking about' - then it's a fat bloke with a beard talking about Henry the Eighth! haha
I'll try and find it!

I might just have a mammoth day out to contradict this statement. Might make the pilgrimage to Middlesbrough and Darlington for the DAFs.

And Durham and Bishop wasn't too bad, actually. 40 minutes on the 6 was a bit boring, but nearly an hour at the front on a quiet X21 was pure bliss!

I'm not a fan of YBF. I think pretty much all of the clips used are put up (minus the animal clips). Who a) has a camera filming somebody sledging down a hill just as something bad is about to happen (crash into a tree) and b) who is stupid enough to sledge down a hill and crash into a tree. £250 isn't even that much nowadays compared to what it used to be back in the day. And even if the money was raised, i still wouldn't do something to get my hands on it - i have a brain.

I used to find You've Been Framed mildly entertaining, now it's just the same stuff I see every time I watch an episode.
Somebody falls into a river while trying to cross a log...clearly not staged. Somebody sledging into a snowman...clearly not staged. Somebody tries to skate off a roof and lands in a bin...clearly not staged!
