[cn174]

so is there a new season coming? i thought that was the last? or am i being doh?

The new season is starting in January. It was supposed to start in Jan 08, but because of the writers strike they didn't get it finished, so they put it back a whole year to Jan 09.

But as has already been said there is a 2 hour special in the mean time at end of november.

i watched stephen fry and simon schama's documentaries over the weekend. Very good if you can catch them on iplayer.

Is that one about him travelling around the states? It was pretty good.

Anyone see that programme about these lads that are travelling around the world on all different types of transport? Its really good.

Just found the name of it Charley Boorman: Ireland to Sydney by Any Means

Paul Merton in India is good. He went round with a Gujerati protection racket whose members are all hermaphradytes last night.

[Billy Castell]

Yes, that was amazing and frightening.

Could this be the greatest television show ever?

Holy crap Batman. This could be massive. I'm talking better than Heil Honey I'm Home (it's on Youtube), and even better than a Steven Segal film. This simply has to happen. This has made my day, as I love Steven Segal films for all the wrong reasons, as does my mum.

Earlier this week, I watched "This is England" and what a stark film it is, capturing the spirit of how nasty it could be and how confused people could be in the early '80's - some would say "so what's changed". What really struck me was how miserable England was at that time. I didn't enjoy it but couldn't switch off as it was quite compelling.

[Rovermatt]

That's a great film. I didn't really know much about it as I've no interest in Shane Meadows's dreary style of film-making, so I was surprised to find that the original group that the little kid fell in with were anything but racist thugs.

And therein lies the key theme for me - what was initially a multiracial movement became taken over by the racists, but remained throughout an essentially working class movement. I wonder if it was an observation, as if it were needed, on the old saying about judging books by their covers and using stereotypes to offset lazy thinking? The film made me think. for sure.

Watched Top Gear last night and in it they smashed up and then set fire to a Morris Marina, now the Morris Marina lovers are not happy about it and the link below leads to a Morris Marina forum.

One of the members on the forum sold the car to the BBC and believed them when they said they wouldnt smash it up.

Watched it last week when they smashed up a Blackburn Corporation Bus.

It had The Bed Centre Darwen Street Blackburn written all over it!

It's been raved about on here quite a few times, Charlie Brooker's screenwipe. I've just watched last week's episode on Mission Documentaries. Very Funny. Well worth watching on iPlayer if it's still on.

[ABBEY]

BBC2...its on again ,not sure what day tho on a repeat.

[Presty On Tour]

I thought it was top class, old school comedy.

The asshole is the new fanny, I take her from behind so we don't have to look at each other and I don't want to get in the way of her sudoko

Cheers Clare & Abbey.

Watched Rab's repeat tonight.

Without doubt, the funniest programme I've seen in ages.

Anyone see the Top Gear Vietnam special today?

After watching Rovers gift City a share of the points, I needed someone to bring a smile back on my face.

It was superb!

If you haven't watched it yet then please watch the repeat or on BBCI player.

[Presty On Tour]

Top Gear was one of the best programs over the xmas season by miles.

Even though it's the same pranks and jokes, somehow it's still funny.

Vietnam is some country, mates of mine have been before and I didn't believe them on what an amazing place it is until now.

Definitely planning a tour there in the future.

[American]

Has anyone been watching Wallander? Not sure I buy Kenneth Branaugh as Swedish, but the first 2 episodes have been good watching. Even bought the first couple of books in the series to see how they compare (on my future reading list).

[nowthen]

Paul Merton's Morecambe and Wise tribute was good. Merton was clearly a massive fan. However, Jack Dee going on was a bit random and unconvincing and considering the tat the BBC pedal it should have been on for longer than an hour.

[Presty On Tour]

Did anybody see Phil Taylor on Coronation St known as Disco Dave?

Thought I was tripping!
