What are you watching tonight?

[bobo the clown]

Anyone watching Dickensian at the minute?

Cracking romp.

Yep. Impressed.

It's had me Googling what original works the characters are from and reading up about them .... so it's actually helping me challenge what I often see as impenetrable.

[TANGODANCER]

Not tonight, but tomorrow. Just a quick last reminder that the Bolton dance programme and the Macron are on BBC 2 tomorrow at 9-0'clock for an hour. Get the beer ready..

[jonnycooper]

I shall be watching (You make me feel like dancing)bbc2 9pm tonight.(Give us a clue how to spot you Tango).Looking forward to seeing Boltons Palais de dance revamped for this show,although I only have memory of it being Ritzy,s.My Mum and Dad(Rip)used to go there regular in the 50,s.

Watched the first episode of Deutschland 83 last night

it's part of a feature of box-sets Channel 4 are doing under the banner title "Walter Presents"...

this guy has been commissioned to thousands of hours of foreign box-sets and recommend the best of them to Channel4 (or summat)

of Deutschland83, he says..

Deutschland 83 is one of the best international dramas I’ve seen in the last 10 years — a compelling spy thriller set at the height of tensions between East and West, told with all the aesthetic qualities of Mad Men. It’s already picking up awards and you are going to love it.

first episode was encouragingly good...

also in the stable are:

Heartless: "This is Twilight Saga only cert. 18"
Match day: "a classy French noir with an unusual football setting."
Kabul Kitchen: "Homeland hijacked by Frasier"

and many more.. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/walt ... =543938485

Sarah Cox was talking about that with the bloke who organised it on Radio 2. It was a very Bolto-centric discussion.

[jonnycooper]

Actually Bruce,my memory must be fudge! I also first went when it was Cinderella,s not Ritzy,s,.Have,nt been to Bolton for over 25yrs,spent New Year's Eve 83 in there and Dance Factory as a 16 year old after trawling the Inns along Bradshawgate. Heady Days..

We must be of a similar age, Jonny. I remember the first pub I ever went into in town was The Lower Nags Head. I was still at school at the time so must have been 15, and then went to The Dance Factory when it was still Scamps. To appear sophisticated I drank Vodka and orange cordial. I was as sick as a pike. Bloody hell.

I,ll be 49 in a couple of Months,also noted one of you,re posts as living in Swinton for a period, I also lived there for a very short period,and frequented Oliver's at the time,my brother worked for Pilk,s tiles.I,d be very surprised if I didn't recognise you as we would have been Clubbing,
(Remember that)at the same time!!! Sundowners here we come

I'll be 50 in July. Never went in Oliver's but was regularly in Yates's and often in The Bull on the corner there. Sundowners - bloody hell yes

[jonnycooper]

The Bull! Most haunted Pub in Britain(if you believe all that).Always sat in a particular corner in there,but also went in,The Football and next door (think it was the Globe)on Swinton Hall Road as my uncle was always in one or the other.Bathroom King on the end of the Precinct was my uncles Dads business...

I have absolutely no idea how much I'll be seen jonny, we haven't seen anything at all till tonight and there are a lot of folk in the show.. In training you just wore anything. At the Macron I had a grey jacket and black pants and on Palais night ( probably shown on Thursday) my partner has white hair and a long bright red skirt. Best bet is I'm one of the oldie blokes who still has some dark hair left.

ps: Cartwheels and doing the splits? you must be joking...

[TANGODANCER]

Here you go jonny. At the Macron... (My partner's son is a season ticket holder and she'd just spotted him in the Lofthouse Lower.)

[LeverEnd]

It's getting rave reviews on five live

[Bruce Rioja]

BBC Television - wankers!!! There's either nothing on worth watching (most of the time) or they put two things on at the same time. Tango's programme's on at the same time as the second episode of Silent Witness. Now I have to decide which to watch and which to record.

Hmmmmm, now then, Tango or Emilia (the) Fox?!

I'll forgive you for choosing the latter as long as you watch the recording of the former.
Both can be got on BBC I-player.

Problem is I'll have to watch one tomorrow evening and that means either people in the office talking about Silent Witness tomorrow or people on here discussing your show

At least there won't be a plot to spoil with our lot. A "plot" is for growing rhubarb...

Bravo, Tango, bravo!
