I wonder if Relax will be on.... we know what the BBC were like when it was released!

Doesn't look like it from the EPG.

Mind, Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure are on, so Vince Clarke will hopefully get his royalty cheque in the morning!

Oh dear -.- 

If anyone is interested, there's a really good documentary series on BBC called Wastemen.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p02npms8

Newcastle is much like any other city in the country, with one key difference when it comes to waste. Since landfill tax was introduced the desire to find alternatives to throwing rubbish in a hole in the ground has become the holy grail of the waste industry. And this goes far beyond simply encouraging residents to use their recycling bins.

All domestic rubbish in Newcastle is taken to the Byker Waste Processing Plant, in the outskirts of the city. Behind its doors, the team work to get as much use out of the rubbish as they can. In an enormous operation using giant sieves called trommels, moving belts and huge magnets, the rubbish is sorted and a use is found for 80% of all the waste it receives. Food waste is turned into compost, metals are removed and most of what’s left is wrapped in bails and turned into refuse derived fuel, which can be used to generate electricity in power stations. The RDF from Byker is shipped across the North Sea to Sweden.

The lesson we learn from looking closely at our waste is that there is more value in what we throw away than we could ever imagine. From places like Byker Waste Processing Plant, to people struggling to make ends meet by salvaging what they can from skips, never has the idea that one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure been so true.

Haha, Love away days on soccer am.

Watching Breaking Bad on the worst sounding DVD player ever.

One of the best tv series iv'e seen.

A new program starts tomorrow on Channel 4 (?) called The Night Bus.

(10 May 2015, 8:15 pm)danpick wrote A new program starts tomorrow on Channel 4 (?) called The Night Bus.

Yep, Channel 4 tomorrow at 10pm.

Before that at 9pm, the new series of Benefits Street (Stockton).

Oh dear, it will be next on Channel 4 Stockton on Benefits.

At least Stockton isn't the first place to fall victim to the Channel 4 crew.

Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
Can you face the challenge of the champions?
Do you have the courage of a hero?
Do you have the will and the skill?

Ah those were the days when Gladiators was a decent TV show. Sky's revival was awful.

(11 May 2015, 7:03 pm)Robert wrote Ah those were the days when Gladiators was a decent TV show. Sky's revival was awful.

Yup, Saturday nights was sorted, it was Crystal Maze, Gladiators and Sunday's - was Fort Boyard.


Jet was the hottest though .

Wasn't sure whether to put it in this thread or the 'annoying' - ITV's insistence on putting TV shows, that follow 'celebs' around various parts of the UK and Ireland.

Robson Green, Warwick Davies, Victor Meldrew, Christine Bleakley...
There are probably more names that have been missed.

Cheap telly and a little jaunt for the presenter and their crew.

I didn't give ITV permission to film my life.

It's ITV so Stephen Mulhern is probably in there as well.

A TV show following you around with your daily trials and tribulations would be better than the stuff their producers come up with!
You just have to provide the commentary.

Stephen Mulhern - urgh.

I am a rather plain person but even I could make more interesting viewing than this show sounds.

I think there is enough film already showing Robson Green fishing, don't think we need another show with him and his massive fish.

Anyone watching Benefits Street Stockton, not surprised this photographer doesn't want to be filmed as being part of this garbage.

Why is it always the North East that ends up with all these documentaries, we aren't the only poor part of the country.

One for Davie....

If Durham is a sh1thole, what is Stockton? ;-)

(No offence to anyone that lives in Stockton... My Auntie lives there and she hates the place)

Forgot about Ade Edmondson doing one.
The spin on his, was that he towed around a caravan and made/ate food.

Robbie Coltrane travelled the UK, using B roads.

I reckon there could be mileage in someone doing it on a bus like.

Watching 300, haven't seen it in ages!

This is sparta!

Well The Nightbus on Channel 4 was dreadful.

(11 May 2015, 10:11 pm)Malarkey wrote Well The Nightbus on Channel 4 was dreadful.

Being a Channel 4 programme it was pretty much what I was expecting, just showing a selection of young drunk people wanting to get laid.

After a few minutes even though it has buses in it I lost all intrest and just became something that was on in the background.

Another two episodes, don't think I bother with them.

9 minutes in and I really can't be arsed watching it, it's crap. Mind, a program like that which is designed to draw viewers in (supposedly) will only have limited appeal anyway!

If I wanted to watch videos of B9TLs I'd go on Youtube

(11 May 2015, 10:11 pm)Malarkey wrote Well The Nightbus on Channel 4 was dreadful.

I was going to watch that, I'm pleased I didn't after what's been said!

Watching the Theory Of Everything.. only being on 40 minutes and i'm really enjoying it.
