What are you watching tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

cracking stuff - even though I had been before - (albeit 20yrs ago!) - I still jumped (and the kids certainly did!)

Mum and dad took me to see it when I was about 8. It scared the living shit out of me. I'm pretty sure it still affects me now.

Top of the tree in recent British drama, IMO. First two series, when Paul Abbot was writing it, excellent.

I think we struggle, though, to match the standards of HBO.

I fear you've just opened the mother of all floodgates by inviting the forum to say what they like about Ross Kemp.

Still, s'pose its a busmans holiday for him after the way his wife treats him.

Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

He's so camp you can tell he is loving being down and dirty with the troops.

I can't take him seriously, no matter how well-intentioned he is.

I think they're divorced now.

I met Ross Kemp a few years ago at a Leicester Tigers v Northampton Saints rugby match of all places. Sound feller actually. I remember being surprised by that at the time. He was a really nice bloke.

Quality in 'Extras' too. "SAS stands for 'Special Army Soldiers' "

just seen "Låt den rätte komma in" (Let the right one in) - a romantic/whimsical/horror-vampire film that's kind of hard to classify

intriguing - engaging - in swedish with subtitles.... worth a look...

Watched 'Office Space' last night - can see why it has a bit of a cult following.

a little dvd spree today - bought the 'Spaced' box set, both seasons of 'Nighty Night', 'The Day Today' boxset, picked up 'Blow' & Inglourious on Blu-ray - and following WoW's guardian list (The Wite thread) have just ordered 'Our Friends in the North'!

half way through the first series of Spaced at the mo - Classic!!!

Yeh, not sure what scared me more - that, the bouncing ball or the pony and trap followed by the piercing scream. The ghostly face of the woman appearing every now and again was also pretty terrifying. As I said, it was the single most scary thing I had ever seen.
