    Have you tried Lovefilm Kaz? I've got a £20 voucher that I can give you the code from to try it for a few months if you'd like?

    Thae telly has been crap for years now, so i tend to watch just the food ( cooking) channels if I watch tv at all. Oh, and gardening shows and design shows when I catch them.

    Yes, load of rubbish on TV. After listening to OH snoring for couple of hours
    I decided it would be more interesting to do the ironing and now on computer.
    Bits of YouTube are more interesting - John Bishop my current interest. His
    shows are hilarious.



    Wow al n - well done! What will you do with all that money?

        Television, a media that did not survive beyond the early part of the 21st century

          To quote Star Trek again

          Television, a media that did not survive beyond the early part of the 21st century​

          But I am not going to survive past the early part of the 21st century :chicken:
          We do have such classics as "Splash" though !!!
          What next "Walk" Z list celebs are trained to actually walk erect............

          I always thought they put rubbish on at week-ends because they assumed everyone would be out doing something more exciting - now I'm older and wiser I've come to realise that they actually put rubbish on all the time. Game shows, repeats of repeats of repeats and a positive who's that? of z-list 'celebs' learning to dance, skate, dive or anything else, just to get their half-forgotten faces on the box.

          Thank heaven for the printed word .... and GC, of course.:hapydancsmil:

            You think U.K t.v is bad, try the French equivalent.:huh:
            Mostly U.S and U.K imports badly dubbed, and inane quiz shows.
            At least the U.K has some decent dramas on occasionally.

            I had love film for a while, nothing on it I want to watch.

            I've found a really good free movie site, but i'm not sure if its legal. Just watched Prometheus on it. That was only out back in the summer.
