RE: General TV thread
SPOILERS!!!!






Did anyone watch Eastenders last night?

Nick Cotton finally died!, was a bit annoyed when they didn't give him Julia's theme.

However, he died in the same house as Reg Cox was found in the very first episode, who Nick had killed...

Not my favourite film, but it was good, very well acted, Eddie Redmayne deserves the awards he is getting...

Next one I wanna see is the Imitation Game with Benedict Cumberbatch, about Alan Turing

I found the film interesting because of the subject, Stephen Hawking is, as you say, amazing, it is not a film I would go and buy on blu-ray...

I hate game of thrones, my dad watches it constantly, just to pee me off I think...

I might have a look for a Charmed Box Set somewhere Big Grin

I still enjoy Top Gear but at times I think that I liked it more when it was a bit less silly, I quite liked it when they do stuff like road-test cars normally and old challenges like when they'd raced to Oslo with Clarkson driving and James and Richard on a boat. Part of the other problem with it now is that it is shown in so many different countries and is popular around the world and now they have to make it appeal for lots of different countries to watch. I also liked when the star in a reasonably priced car had people like comedians on instead of major A-List celebs who are promoting the latest film their in.

I do enjoy Top Gear, after all the years I've watched it. Think I started when I was about 8, and I've got quite a few DVDs.

One of the main reasons I still watch it, is because Jeremy Clarkson always manages to say something that makes me choke to death on my own oxygen!

I loved that episode where they raced Tornado to the north. That was brilliant, and also that one where they were in India(?) and James missed the train lol and they wouldn't pay a £13 fine for pulling the emergency break. Tongue

I agree with all comments made above, that the fact more countries are watching it and it must be more suitable for everyone's tastes.

But, despite all its flaws now, I still enjoy watching Top Gear. Smile

That race was great - although some of it would have been scripted, the boats getting punctures and Hammond getting sea sick made that episode.
There were other challenges which were just as good too.

If you look back to the episodes when you first started watching (was the Hilux episode before or after?), how do they compare?

RE: General TV thread
I like watching top gear but I know when they cross the line and there are several problems and not-so problems id like to question.

- Going back to the Patagonia Special, when purchasing the Porsche, they would have seen the registration in the documents or wherever they were buying it from. They can't say they didn't know. However, what i didn't like about the Argentinians was the fact that they attacked the cars as they were leaving Argentina itself which i think is slightly unfair since the team were cooperative and leaving the country by request. This doesn't withdraw what they did.
- I don't understand what was wrong with showing a cock that wasn't real yet The Kyle Files can show a pair of womans tits in a bad way. What happened to the watershed...? 
RE: General TV thread
Following on;
Tonights Top Gear seems to be more car orientated than usual, the new AMG Merc is being looked at currently, and I think the BMW i8 and the new M4 feature later on, as well as a Land Rover feature.

See, I switched off after 40 mins, as I thought it was boring! Loved the Ambulance crack last week.

I love the reviews, the features such as the Ambulance one, and the races, I only really dislike the "Star In The Reasonably Priced Car" section and some of the bits that used to be included that were neither funny or kind of informative.
RE: General TV thread
Did anybody notice the "RICHARD IS A COCK" (the CK was blocked by the tyres) sign at the 1st corner during the Power lap. Can't remember seeing it in the reasonably priced car laps.

RE: General TV thread
I prefer the episodes with a mix of everything, really. Sometimes I do think they take it too far with the stupid things - but I'd watch it regardless of what the theme of the episode was.
RE: General TV thread
It was on in the background tonight and quite enjoyed it.

It had a bit of balance compared to last week.

Mind, the Hammond on the dam wall was predictable... There was only one way he was going once he to the top

RE: General TV thread
Watching Monty Python LMAO


I never wanted to do this job in the first place!
I... I wanted to be...

A LUMBERJACK!
(piano vamp)
Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of
British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!
The Larch!
The Pine!
The Giant Redwood tree!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
We'd sing! Sing! Sing!
Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.
CHORUS: He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.
Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays 'e goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.
CHORUS
I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.
Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars???????

I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.
Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspenders?? and a .... a Bra????
(spoken, raggedly) What's this? Wants to be a "girlie"? Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!
CHORUS
All: He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaaaayyy..... (BONG)
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
