Re: what are you watching right now
 
Just finished watching Blessed(BBC1 21.00).It's been a long time since I had a real belly laugh at a sitcom.Of course this is only going to be funny to those who are presently parents to very young children or those who remember the days of their children's baby and toddlerhood.The scenes where they enthusiastically have to kick the childbuggy to erect or close it had me in stitches.And the fervant hope that the policeman wouldn't stop him driving the car at 5 miles an hour and wake the baby.Oh and the haranguing from the cyclist who was appalled that he would use a 4X4 to coax a baby to sleep was priceless.The rest was just as deliciously funny but I won't spoil it for you on any reruns. :D

Before that I watched Bleak House..I'm still wondering why the beeb chose to show it for an hour yesterday evening and for 30 minutes tonight.Seems like p*ss poor scheduling to me..Why not 2 episodes of 45 minutes?Oh of course not, because heaven forbid they find a program to fill in the odd 15 minutes... :rolleyes:

However it is setting up to be a good series with none of the confusion that reigned the last time Bleak House was televised where all coherent plot was effectively screen written out or lost through post production.

"Rocket Man" BBC 1

I think this is a really nice light hearted drama with some funny moments in it too. Good for all the family.

Just watched the A1 Grand Prix from Malaysia!

More incredible wheel to wheel racing that knocks F1 into a cocked hat!

France have really got their car dialled in well and they've got damn good drivers, but Britain, Switzerland and several others really gave them a run for their money and it's by no means a foregone conclusion that they're going to win the whole thing.

Great stuff :)

Over the weekend watched "The Day After Tommorow" on DVD.
Not a bad film. Ofcourse it has all the big budget thrown at it and a "I Must save the day" kind of thing, but it was an interesting film.

We got the box set of the first series of '24' - 6 discs for £29.99 reduced from £44.99 in Virgin. (plus offset by £25 worth of vouchers - bargain ;) )

- I've never seen any of it, but the trailers always look good ...

You will love it Gaz, its really good.
Its the kind of stuff that gets you sitting on the edge of your seat and once you reach the end of an episode, you just HAVE to and do end up watching the next one.
I got the 3rd season on DVD for Christmas and am watching it at the moment.
Its sooo annoying as the next season is starting soon but its on sky. I'l be buying it for sure on DVD.

I was sure I recognised the female agent ('Diana Scouris') in 4400, from somewhere, it was only when i was watching 'Stark' last Friday that I realised she is played by Jaqueline McKenzie, who plays 'Rachel' in that program.(alongside Ben Elton).

Looking forward to the second series, now :cool:

Stuart 17-01-2006 01:36

Re: what are you watching right now
 
"Man in the moon: The Andy Kaufman Story". He was weird, and IMO wasn't the funniest character in Taxi (I personally found Christopher Lloyd and Danny De Vito funnier), he was loved by a lot of other people, and gave us what is now called "performance art". Bit of a mixed blessing that.

However, the performance given a year after his death in tribute to him (by "Tony Clifton", one of his characters) and done for American Cancer charities is what apparently inspired Comic Relief.

Back to my impressions of the film: I have read they have glamourised his life (which I don't think they have - he comes across as teetering just on the edge of insanity in parts of the film), and I don't really remember reading much about his life, so can't really comment on that.

However, the film is excellent, and all the cast (including Courtney Love - who I don't usually think is a good actress) put in excellent performaces.
