What are you watching tonight?

[CrazyHorse]

Sherlock on iPlayer. It's very, very good, and I say that as a massive fan of Conan Doyle. Tango, if your blindness to anything 'new' stops you watching this, you really are missing out, mate.

I watched Sherlock on the iPlayer last night too; haven't seen any of them before but gave last weeks a go.

Very good, particularly like the way we see him deducing things, zooming in on clues with accompanying words on the screen; they could easily have got that trick wrong and spoiled it but it works.



Not edited by CrazyHorse to cover up the silly spelling mistake. Not never ever did it say deducting rather than deducing. Dumb fck.

First one was very good.

Second one was below par for me. I'm holding back on judgement for the minute.

Coppers. Just watched S2ep1 on 4OD. Fantastic fly-on-the wall documentary, excellent stuff.

Same here.

I loved the last series, thought the first of this was up to that standard, but this weeks was just 'not quite'. Difficult to say why, but it didn't hit the spot for me.

I suspect it was to do with it not being on-location in London...

Preferring original/as written versions to some things isn't exactly blindness to anything new Pru. Films and TV ( amongst many other things) have come a long way and are much the better for it and benefit greatly from modern technology. As much as I love the effects side of things, I also really like seeing Arabs, Africans, Chinese, Asians etc,etc, playing themselves rather than some English actor with a boot polished face trying to do it and making a bollox. I also love the "warts and all" type of dressage instead of actors looking like refugees from The Gondoliers or an Aladin pantomime. You liking a Victorian, pipe-smoking detective being updated to a Perrier water drinking , mobile-phone weilding wisecracker isn't exactly visionary, just personal preference. Just like James Bond, I prefer the original.

[Bijou Bob]

The Sweeney on DVD. It's now almost a great piece of social history and the clothes, cars and background are often more interesting than the plot. Just finished an episode where they spent 5 minutes looking for a phone box. When's the last time any of us had to do that?!

Ah, knew it wouldn't be long before you appeared. Right on time.

I watched the first couple of episodes and decided it wasn't for me. I'm hardly going to bother further. It's a bit like Great Art, or anthing else for that matter. One man's meat and all that. I wouldn't even have bothered commenting but for Pru believing that just because I don't like something I'm blind to all things new. I don't bother watching Dr Who either. That should be good for a few Hail Marys'.

it was a simple question!! (boy you can be so defensive!!)

and given your answer - then it simply proves Pru wrong - it HASN'T blinded you to something new - you gave it a go and didn't like it - which is fair enough!

And a jolly good evening to you too sir.

{scratches head} - I'm on your side here!! Pru was wrong about you! I'm sticking up for you...

Watching Palace - Cardiff.....wish I hadn't bothered, dull game.

And to add to the Sherlock debate, I enjoyed the first series, but not seen the second (have recorded them to watch though).

In fairness to thebish, TD, I was working off a (quite possibly wrong) memory that you dismissed the last series on the basis it was 'modern' without watching it. If you have watched it and still don't like it, then fair enough. I think this series 'gets' Holmes better than any on screen interpretation I have ever seen (traditional films depicting him with deerstalker in the city, pah!). If Holmes is pipe (opium) and costume alone then it completely misses what the character is. Here he is sharp, deductive, unhinged and brilliant, just as he should be. Cumberbatch is excellent.

As a geek I thought the second one of this series was brilliant. Blindingly obvious and obtuse references throughout ( I did like the fluorescent bunny rabbit- fan fiction) I thought it was well written, there were plenty distractions (horseys being one), was only really let down by possibly the worst CGI I have ever seen with that atrocious dog.

Went to a shop called Chickenfeed, it's closing down.


Forced the purchase of 8 Caillou DVDs

[P.O.S.]

Watched Fat Girls And Feeders the other night, documentary about people getting their rocks off supersized women.

60 stone woman with 70 inch thighs bedridden and filmed by this weirdo husband of hers who later on didnt fancy her as much after she had life saving surgery to take her down to 30 stone

Other women being fed liquid fat via tubes down their throats to blubber them up before posing in sexy mags... it were bloody 'orrible. And I watched it while I was eating my tea.

GG will sort you out.

She knows a lad who does home deliveries, so to speak.
