[Archived] Last Night on Telly I Watched.....

[Nate]

Yea, that is a great show. First time I saw it, it took me a while to realise it wasn't real

[Flopsy]

In case you haven't seen, it looks like House season 3 is back next Thursday 9pm Channel 5

Huzzah!

[American]

Not something I watched last night but a show that I think is worth repeating somewhere, it was a show which spoofed The Jerry Springer Show, I think it used to be on Paramount years ago and I think channel 5 showed some episodes as well, maybe our American members will remember it.

Nightstand

Haven't clicked the link yet, but Dick Dietrich, right? I saw him more as a Richard Bey spoof!

Just watching Love and hate from last night,( filmed in Blackburn) a story of racial tensions between between the young folk of a "northern town".

On a lighter note, spotted Ewood in the opening clips and just showm T bar.

[American]

Watching The Robinsons on BBC Prime - pretty funny. I especially love the parents.

[Cocker]

Life on Mars

Its a weird one this. Never before have I enjoyed a programme so much but also want it to come to an end (next week is the last one I think)

Excellent programme, gets better every week

(I know its on Tuesday's but I had it recorded)

Last night I watched Louis Theroux's documentary on the completely horrific, sexual obsessed Phelps family who go around the States picketting the funerals of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Scum.

watched it on sunday night, and rewatched it last night! i found their beliefs not only disgusting but completely ironic! forgive me if i've picked the whole thing up completely wrong but 'the lord' teaches forgiveness and love thy neighbour and all that mumbo jumbo, so what do they intend to gain from their protests?? their picket posters which singled out particular individuals (eg. diana) were what made me most angry!

i think the documentary could have been improved had they been able to track down members of the church who had left or been banished

I watched the National Lottery draw. Didn't win.

[Flopsy]

I didnt but ive just checked my ticket - £10 wohoo

[Darth]

Well done Floppers.

If ever there was a case of latent homosexuality it was that lot. "The lady doth protest too much"

I'm not religious at all (quite the opposite) but imagine their surprise if there is a God and they find themselves in the "down" elevator come judgement day

Freedom of speech and all that , Matt ......don't be so intolerant . It's not as if they're blowing people up on the tube is it ...or kidnapping and beheading anyone ? Put it into perspective :ph34r:

[Exiled_Rover]

I just watched the first episode of NBC's new drama The Black Donnellys. It's written and created by Paul Haggis (writer/director of Crash, writer of Million Dollar Baby, Casino Royale & Flags Of Our Fathers, creator of Due South) and focuses on the criminal travails of a group of four Irish brothers in New York's Hell's Kitchen. I have to say I'm pretty impressed.

The Due South's that he wrote are brilliant.

Intolerance. Used in defence of that lot. Catch yourself on... Of course if they were Muslims preaching equally abhorrent nonsense outside military funerals, you'd no doubt be championing their constitutional rights with equal vehemence... Aye dead on.

I'm not sure what the Tube bombings have to do with anything.

Quite right BP, as much as I dislike what the Phelps gamily has to say especially the picketing of funerals which I found disgusting. Posters cant champion minorities freedom of speech & those spouting anti western rhetoric and then on the other hand condemn White Americans for doing similar but leaving out the death and beheading bit . It somewhat stinks of hypocrisy, but we must blame our HE system for that as it almost compulsory for lecturers to spout anti-American anti-devolved nation stuff, whilst defending those who wish to destroy it

Ah the good old communist lecturers. You really are just making this stuff up on the spot aren't you.

Anyway, I take issue with what they're saying (as is my right) rather than the fact that they are saying it all (as is their right). However read what you want to read. Minorities have nothing to do with this at all. Typically however the usual suspects have dragged them into this debate also.

No Matt in my 5 years at two different Uni’s and the 1000’s of books, journals & peer reviews that I have read it would far to say that over 90% of HE rhetoric is devoutly anti capitalist, anti devolved world and especially anti US. Thus we have 100,000’s of HE students past and present who reflect this attitude.

As for your defence no-one has said you are not entitled to it, but the point im making is that you can not defend 1 set of people for freedom of speech, freedom of culture and then criticise another group for similar ( but not the same gravitas )

[Rovermatt]

It's the message that I object to. It would be the same no matter who was spreading it. It is simply not a case of 'one rule for one...' as you clearly imply. Take for example the preaching at Finsbury Park mosque-it's blinkered, extremist gibberish. The antics of the Phelps family is just as preposterous. I don't see anyone on here defending the former while persecuting the latter. Do you?

Ah 'Freedom of Speech'........ Those were the days eh? Shame but anybody under 45 will not understand the concept of what is the cornerstone of any true / real democracy.

The Phepls stuff Matt Is just weird, I object to it wholesale -however their is no-way you can try and claim that that can be any similarity made between themselves and the evil of Finsbury mosque. One is unjust and disgraceful behaviour whilst not illegal, the other is illegal and evil. The Finsbury mosque episode highlighted people wanting to kill the indigenous populace , because they would not adopt there culture that is the difference

[Rovermatt]

No, they are both 'evil'. Admittedly the Phelps crowd aren't advocating murder but they are clearly supporting the effects of the jihad in Iraq (incredible) and took just as much delight in 9/11 as any bearded mullah in Blackburn.

I've made no attempt to put them on equal pedestals, rather highlight that objections to one stance are just as valid and equal as any objections to the other.

Cant but feel that there is a hint of Anti Americanism tinged in the attack of the Phelps from some of the socialist, centre-left ( whatever you category you put yourself into ) brigade. Where was the response to a much more enlightening programme regarding ( undercover Islam ) the hate been spouted in our mosques in dispatches a few months ago, their was no response from those who repeatedly defend/ champion the Muslim cause.

The link to the programme was repeatedly made to the show on you tube , but im guessing no-one watched it .Yet the same people will watch some nut cases in the US holding banners at funerals, it kind of highlights the hypocrisy that there is in society

I watched a good programme about birds wi massive tats last night.
