Kevin McCloud

It's a brilliant little series, and it gets better. I know you (or your brother ) will enjoy 2 & 3 when KM goes to Rome.

Andrew Marr for me now too.

Cheers, I don't know if he has seen it, but I've never been to Rome so will look on it as an education.

Anyway, I'm just wasting a bit of time until Andrew Marr's The Making of Modern Britain comes on at 9.

Even though he unnerves me because he's obviously a freaky alien, it is very good.

It's his attempts at impressions of historical figures that unnerve me. Good series though.

Me too, Bruce.

I've got a lousy cold and hacking cough to go with it, off work and decided I'd be the most unpopular man in bolton if i went to ghosts tomorrow and coughed all the way through it - so have changed ticket to friday next week.

But I know the play and i've see the huge diversity of views on the production, so you won't be doing any 'spoilers' for me.

Absolute garbage. You'd have to be the worst kind of invertedly snobbish pleb seriously to think that, which I know you're not.

Watch The Grand Tour - his enthusiasm is infectious.

They're good mate, on the Chiliean Grand reserva 2003 tonight, nice it is too.. And this is from somebody who doesn't like reds!! The Aussie white is a corker!

Edit.. Be careful of the offers on your next purchase though, they tale the 20 quid out a fortnight after your fitst order, to set it aside for your next order, so you don't actually save anything

Road Wars, cos it stimulates me, intellectually.

Just watched part two of The History of Christianity. Nothing to do with preaching it, just a history. Quite fascinating due to the extensive travelling and footage from all over the world.

Cheers, mate, I was wondering how the £20 thing worked. I haven't tried any of them yet and it'll be Saturday before I get the chance, but cheers for the heads up on the Gran Reserva, I've just earmarked that now to go with Saturday's lamb curry (of some sort).

Watched 'The Reader'... A pretty near total mess of a film, i thought... lacking a dramatic centre (what does any character actually want, at least after the first 20 mins when the boy wants to do wild teenage sex with beautiful older woman, just to take many of us back to favourite teen fantasies) and, surprisingly, given the writer, a clear ethical centre - i hadn't the slightest idea how to connect Hanna Schmitz's illiteracy with her actions as an SS Guard... Maybe the novel does it better, and maybe that's the problem - it stubbornly remains literary, rather than dramatic...

Possibly in the all time top ten of exploiting-the-holocaust-without-good-reason movies... And david hare's poorest work for a long time...

This time last year the present Mrs Clappers and I watched some of the then current Spooks series and enjoyed it very much. I had seen the first two series but then for some reason missed the rest and she hadn't seen any of it at all. We decided to catch up with the whole thing before series 8 started to air.

I bought 1-6 off eBay for no more than £8 each and five weeks ago we began watching it all. We then had to get series 7 which has held its price and cost £25.

We finished the last episode yesterday evening just missing our target by a week.

Having watched the whole thing in such a short space of time (first time we've done that since Sopranos) I can say that without a doubt this is the finest British TV ever produced. It is gripping edge of the seat stuff that had me totally invested in the characters. Not a single weak episode in the whole series. Fantastic TV!

ok, maybe my assessment was harsh, but he just bugs me on Grand Designs (which is all i have seen him in tbf.) or myabe i just hate Architects!?

It's keeping up with Kevin McCloud's ever-changing wardrobe that's the biggest problem. Every scene on Grand Designs has him wearing a new designer ensemble.
