The media were out to get Evans from the start IMO as they were so up on Clarkson. Ignoring the fact he deservedly got sacked for assault in the workplace...

Anyhow, having seen a few comments online, it seems as though Evans was very unpleasant to work for and there may have been a mutiny....

That's actually an Icelandic show and the bloke who plays the main good guy is in his 50's. Found that out on a Rick Stein show when he visited the country.

Also, whilst I'm in confession mode I'd like to take this opportunity to reveal that I'm probably the only Western guy on the planet that's never had to endure a full episode of Friends.

Thanks for listening

I hated that show. exaggerated speech patterns, 1 dimensional characters and rampant worship of consumerism does not make a comedy. And I agree with Donnermeat about his named shows.

Le Blanc comes out of it well, liked Rory Reid. Truthfully struggle understanding ze German. Guy Martin in for me.

sorry, i cant stand guy martin, just something about his personality and appearance(mutton chops!! feck off) just feels off to me.

that said, ive no idea who id like to see on the show, every name I've seen suggested looks crud, they need to find at least one well spoken intellectual type, one of the reasons clarkson, hamond and may all did well is because they're all very intelligent well spoken blokes when they needed to be(not sure about hammond, but he made up for it with his enthusiasm)

i think they need to really revamp the studio of the show though not just the presenters, maybe get back to basics and start doing more with vehicles that the everyman could own.

Boris and Farage are looking for work aren't they. Just sayin

and maybe they can get Hodgson as well to play the straight man.

I ended up getting the sopranos box set to watch. About 5 episodes in on the first season.

Good so far.

Cracking series that, one of the all time greats.

Excellent Ross Kemp vs ISIS documentary on sky 1 tonight, well worth watching on catch-up etc.

Showed the current state of play on the front line with ISIS and those fighting them.

[donnermeat]

Half way through Ash vs Evil Dead at the moment, as a fan of the film series I'm loving the TV show. It's kept the same comedy style as the films which Bruce Campbell naturally performs superbly (as he always does), yet still rather gruesome. The makeup on the deadites are cracking too.

Enjoyed Robot wars tonight and so did the boy glad to see it back

[gumboots]

I enjoyed the Living and the dead. Not that it was brilliant but o liked being able to watch the whole series before it was all on tv. We got it out if the way before we go away. Couple of other things we are watching we won't see till we are home again.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this but just seen this about 'Making a Murderer'

Be interested to see the implications it may have for Avery himself, given Dassey's testimony was the only 'real evidence' in that case too.

Been watching Bates Motel on Netflix. (Set when Norman Bates was young and they just start at the motel). So far so good! (Halfway thorough first series).

[Husky]

I think I might be the only person that doesn't have Netflix.

I'm still an old school torrenter

[K-Hod]

Haha, I've no computer at the minute, once I get one I might have to get back amongst that life!!

God bless raspberry Pi and sportsmania. I haven't used my freeview box in months.

I turned the TV on and Clare Balding wasn't on there. Has this happened to anyone else?

[donnermeat]

I don't know if anybody is watching but I am loving this 'British greatest bridges' at the moment.

Channel 5 doing something decent these days.

[donnermeat]

Anybody watch that 'Skegvegas' on telly recently?

It's 'documentary' on singers in Skegness. However, I'm convinced it's really a mockumentary and they are just trying to troll us. The main guy in it is just so bizarre.

Brilliant program on BBC2 'The Big Life Fix' showing how designers and technology can transform people's lives.

Tonight's episode featured a bespoke app and speech box to help a guy left unable to talk after a stroke to communicate with his family, and a BMW bike adapted for a lad who was born without hands or feet, so he could fit in with his able-bodied friends.

That as well as groundbreaking tech to help farmers against rustlers.

Why do the finalists on Pointless tell the hosts what category they want? It's clearly a trap!

[Al]

The "jackpot" on Pointless is always pathetic any way. Pretty pointless I would say.

Always annoyed me! The basic offer should be £2.5k imo.
