I like it. Wouldn't say it would make my 'best of' list but it's fantastically well made (up the road from here ;)) and acted.

LOTR with lots of willies and boobs, basically. I'm ok with that. :p

Re: Television Tab

I'm cracking on with Game of Thrones season 6, which I got for Christmas.

A friend's daughter has a role in the currently-filming season 7 and I'm hearing lots of juicy gossip. Sworn to secrecy,...

Re: Television Tab

Grand Tour update!

After episode 1 was one of the better things our aging trio have come up with recently, I was cautiously optimistic. Episode 2, however, was comfortably the worst thing I've...

Re: Television Tab

I've been watching Bleasdale's GBH for the first time in years.

The first thing that struck me was how broad, how gauche, most of the performances are with Robert Lyndsay's in particular verging...

Re: Television Tab

The Grand Tour as a whole or that Jordan segment in particular?

The budget increase is reflected really well in the overall production quality - It's one great looking show.

Re: Television Tab

Anyone caught The Grand Tour?

I thought that the first episode was the best hour of Top Gear content, outside the specials, I'd seen in years. Clarkson's either been refreshed, reinvigorated or...

Re: Television Tab

I loved Carnivale. Such a shame that HBO nipped it in the bud as it was starting to get motoring.

Re: Television Tab

It's a way to stream movies and music from a hard drive to any device in your house provided it has wi-fi and is DLNA enabled. My TV has it installed already but if you've got a FireTV, Roku stick,...

Re: Television Tab

I'm up for that.

I'm slowly moving my TV stuff on DVD to hard drive, having spent most of the year slowly ripping 200-odd DVD movies. Plex is my Netflix of good taste. ;)

Re: Television Tab

I'm gearing up for another Sopranothon (TM :p) myself.

Spent the guts of a day last week ripping the season 1 episodes from DVD to my NAS to play through Plex.

I'd go for 'pretty good', personally.

Just a bit too self aware for me, but extremely watchable.

I watched the first two episodes last night and would side with 'loving homage'.

It's as if the Stephens/Stevens King and Spielberg had a baby. A baby with Winona Ryder's phone number. ;)

Re: Television Tab

If they replaced Matt LeBlanc (who seemed to be sucking in his gut even more than I did before I lost 2 stone) with Heidi Range, I'd be interested. ;)

To be honest, I've not been paying the slightest bit of attention to the show's build up, but they've literally changed nothing, not even the 'Some say...' Stig jokes. We've thus gone from a show...

Re: Television Tab

Sooooo, New Top Gear is basically Old Top Gear presented by two Richard Hammonds?

Deary me. The BBC had an opportunity to freshen up a tiring format and they've come up with Screechy and Mumbly...

Evans must have shares in Amazon or something. ;)

Re: Television Tab

My TV watching at the moment is mainlining Game of Thrones 1-4 for no other reason than I suppose I'd better watch it and I found that the Swedish Blu Ray box sets are cheaper than the UK ones with...

If the show had ended naturally after the last series I wouldn't have minded too much, and this is from someone who's seen them all and bought the DVDs.

They'd been getting stale for the last 3 or...

I'd heard rumours of an online contract but always assumed it'd be Netflix.

It's taken me eight episodes but I've finally realised that Orange is the New Black isn't the Ian Paisley bio I'd been hoping for.

It's more like Grange Hill. :rolleyes:

Huh? I've always had a lot of time for the bongo playing, allegedly magnificently hung Double D. He can't be any worse at TV presenting than Ian Wright, can he?

Re: Television Tab

I'd say that's likely. May's a good presenter (although I think Hammond's awful) but he could never carry a show like that. Clarkson's been paying their wages for a decade and I'm betting he'll...

Re: Television Tab

Reactions to Clarkson's sacking?

Specials aside, I feel that Top Gear's been on the slide for 4 or 5 years now (cut to a post made by me 6 years ago saying the same thing :p) so I can't summon up...
