As do I with Come Dine with Me :oops:

Though those in the know reckon I'll get sick of it after a while. I know it's been around for ages but it's new to me, if that makes much sense.

enjoy it for what it is... after a while, like all these shows - you become to aware of the formula and you move on to summat else.. but - plenty of weeks of enjoyment before you get there! (avoid the celebrity ones, though, they really are just shoite!)

Is that formula - place four people, one of whom you'd happily beat to death with a celery bunch, one that's a bit scary/eccentric, one that does something that you wouldn't expect them to, and a lovely one? That's how it's currently panning out to me. :?

that's pretty much it!! (and i suspect that the footage is very selectively edited to tie them into those roles!)

Dug out Hidalgo. No brain power required, just a couple of hours of light entertainment based on the life of Frank Hopkins, long-distance riding expert, with the horse winning the acting awards. I've watched worse.

:D I'll let you know how I get on with it.

To be honest, I follow GM's film recommends like I do Lord Kangana's how-to-cook tips (though I still can't poach an egg to save my life :( ).

Amlin Challenge Cup Final.

5 mins to go and Biarritz are 21-18 up against Toulon, Yashvilli has just scored a penalty after escaping a yellow card offence where Toulon should have had a penalty.

Bodes well for footy that even with television match officials rugby referees can still boil the blood...


But then I'm a scot so my attitude towards referees in any sport permanently hovers around 'incandescent'. :D

Ive another Docu-drama effort for your list, Werner Herzog's 'Into The Abyss' not as cinematic as the last few but its more compelling - not so much haunting, but sobering! i stuck it on late last night, just to see what it was about but couldnt turn it off.

*The story is about death-row inmates awaiting execution in a Texas penitentiary, structured so that we absorn not just the heinous, meaningless crime but the broader world that leads up to it, allows it to happen, is dependent on and reflects it. Broken homes, unemployment, casual street violence, Herzog provides enough background detail to ground this in a larger systemic failure: so-called civilized society as only a facade of chaotic nature left to seed.
