It was Scary last night at the end of Episode two, I went to kinda turn it off then found out there was 5 to 20 seconds left.


I saw in a bonus feature that the Post office tower was built by the people with Restauraunt and other stuff but when the post office was privatised it was sold and is now BT tower or something and no public allowed in. :?

Scariest thing on Dr Who (apart from Billie Piper *shudder*) was that one with the kids like from Children of the Corn except they beat their fist into the palms of their hands whilst staring ominously. Was terrifying. Rest of the programme was shite, mind.

Cheers chaps.

Having had a nosey around the interweb I'm rather taken in by the 37 inch Samsung 6530 LED, but it's far from cheap :?

Going to watch RED tonight, I reckon, based on experience, that Helen Mirren will get her wizened baps out for some reason.

For what you'd pay for a Samsug, you could get a bigger and better one from a lesser known brand..

If you're not arsed about shiney HD or all you can eat meganess gaming etc.. Why not look at a Technik one or something? 42in will set you back less than 5ton. maybe as little as 400

TVs are like breasts. Pay that little bit extra to get your hands on a bigger set otherwise you'll end up dissatisfied.

I bet you judge restaurants by dint of portion size too, don't you? :wink:

What are LG tv's like? Any good? Their 37 inch LED jobbie at Richer Sounds is at least £250 cheaper than that Samsung one that I mentioned! :shock:

Richer Sounds are top as well.

Mother in law has an LG telly, very smart.

That said, I wouldn't consider anything less than 40" for my main TV - especially as we spend so much time together.

Good for HD, but if you've not got HD, don't watch football on it.. It'll look like a Monet painting

I've been watching that British at Work on BBC2. First one 1945 - 64 and last nights was up to 1980. It's pretty good, I think it's on iplayer thing.

LED is newer technology

Generally its LCD up to 40" - owt bigger PLasma

I've got a 46" LCD just to be different ;) - Toshiba from Sound and Vision in Farnworth

When teamed up with HD I wonder why anybody would choose owt else

Also in the house I've got 20 odd inch Samsung and LG

If you go Plasma, you can't really go wrong with Panasonic

The Trinitron's just held out long enough for me to watch To Kill a Mocking Bird. They've cut much of the book's background detail out and jigged sections of it around, but that doesn't alter the fact that it is truly superb. It must be - I almost welled-up. Twice. :oops:
