I watched the two episodes of Hell's Kitchen on ITV2 on Tuesday and i have become gripped to it. Managed to find an entire Series 1 on Youtube and watching the lot. Not usually a fan of food shows but some of Ramsay's putdowns are fantastic.

He wears thin, even from a starting level roughly equivalent to graphene.

Was never a fan, then watched his show in India. My kids have more social graces. Felt truly embarrassed for him.

I always preferred the films to the television series. I used to watch them over and over again when I was a child, never grew tired of them, still watch them when they air on Bank Holidays and whatnot. 

Blakey was an amazing character, the perfect 'straight-man' foil to Stan and Jack's buffoonery. Despite looking older than the both of them (well, Stan at least), he was only in his 30s when the series was filmed.

I agree, the films were better, I still laugh at them today!

The opening sequence to the first On The Buses film is one of the best you'll ever see in my opinion. It really sets the tone of the film which, of course, allows the viewer to decide whether it's worth watching.

The episode of Great British Railway Journeys, where Portillo visits Newcastle, South Shields and Chester le Street is on at 1530.

Always a good episode to catch up on, or see for the first time.

Aye, there is that!

On a different note, old Fast Show episodes are being shown on BBC2. With the outdoor scenes, filmed in and around Newcastle.

Glad to see the old intro make an appearance, it also showed the current Dr's/Nurses... it can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9Q8Xb67m0g



Does contain spoilers from the Saturday episode (in the clips)

I'm watching the previous 4 episodes tomorrow with my Mam as we like Casualty and thought watching them together would be a better idea.

Think the last four episodes have been some of the best in a long time. Quite liked the one where Charlie went to the foreign country to find his son too.

Very impressive indeed. Much quicker at reaching a high target in the final chase compared to the others. 21 with 14 seconds remaining from a team of 4 - that is good going.

I liked some things about the trailer and I'm willing give the cartoon a chance but how will it compare to the original and am I too biased in its favour? Time will tell!
Loved the original. David Jason and Terry Scott made it for me.
Although as a youngster back then, I didn't appreciate them for who they were - I am not sure anyone else could have made it like they did.

A honourable mention must also go to Edward Kelsey; the voice of Baron Silas Greenback (and Colonel K) who still has a career in voice acting currently playing the role of Joe Grundy in The Archers. 

I think Cosgrove Hall paved the way for cartoons to have a broader appeal to both adults and children.
