I saw something on YouTube last week. It was a fans review of his music collection which included a lot of Bowie albums. He made reference to the alleged fact that Bowie makes albums in threes (although not explicitly publicised).

 

He highlighted the albums made during heavy drug use, the Berlin trilogy and the crap trilogy!

 

Now that is one fans view, but it does make me want to know more. The documentary is a must - I have no recorder, so watching it is the way for me.

 

  How do you cope?!!    I love my Tivo box almost as much as I love t'interweb.  I'd be lost without either.

 

I was a Dr Who fan, and I guess I am still (albeit of the older series). So I would be happy for a thread, but I would be more critical of the current Dr and the story lines - I think they are weak at best.

 

So if you can tolerate or want my twopeneth, then I'm in.

 

... but I'm gonna talk about Tom Baker - lol

 

 

 

 

I've had two in the past, both now broken and I've never replaced. But I realised I taped and watch far too much. This way I watch less and pick and choose what I really want to see. I do use iPlayer on my 46" Samsung LED TV occasionally. Fortunately I can't stand soaps or most things which run regularly.

 

Great! It should be a thread for discussing and arguing Conthusiams. So watch and join in. I have a friend over tomorrow but will start a thread before it starts. 

Oh, and if folk can get Sky1 and like a bit of sci-fi apocalypse there is a series starting at 9.00pm tonight called 'Revolution'. About all the electricity being shut down, set in the present/near fututure. Double episode opening. 

I guess you know I've already got that set to record too then?  

Look like that may be happening very soon if the weather keeps on like this 

Ahh...I'm not that picky!  Corrie's the only soap I watch, but I do watch quite a lot of 'series'    I hardly ever watch anything 'live' though - I go through the telly mag once a week and set everything I want to see to record then watch what I want when I feel like it.  I do have rather a lot to choose from though!

 

Nice one Xochi   (it's good to see you back more regularly btw - hope you're keeping well?)

its on Ep11 in USA

so ive d/l them cos it looks good

 

and now off to pub

 Glad you enjoyed your clothes shopping EC ! In new lounge wear or not  sit down with drink + snacks + and savour this film... its a masterpiece  i.m.h.o. 

Its one of those atmospheric films that stand out from the crowd. Would love you to come back and give me your review please!!

 

Thanks Roger. They are sooo comfy. I will come back with my views. Hope it does not coincide with American Dad !!!!  

just checked... the A.D.s are repeats... you can catch them later... BBC3 repeat them endlessly   Winter's Bone, its a brilliant film... tell me you think after? 

My TV allows me to set programmes to change channel when they start. So I have clicked onto Winter's Bone and set it to "Watch Timer". 

 

Your right about AD, they are repeated endlessly.

Yeah; "Winter's Bone" is excellent. Jennifer Lawrence got her first Oscar nomination for it.

 

The late film on BBC1 is quite good too, but very different: "Son of Rambow". Although I find the scheduling baffling: it's essentially a kids movie, but they've got it at 11.50pm?

Well, it's implied that Kieron committed suicide after Rick was "killed" on duty, so yeah: it must have been pretty intense - even if only one-way...

 

As for more episodes: I hope so, and it has been hinted, but I'm not optimistic. BBC3 have had to slash their drama budget, which is why "Being Human" ended. "The Fades" looked very good, but got scrapped after 6 episodes. As for "Being Human", remember the pilot for that was commissioned as part of a competition, and even with a lot of public support it had difficulty getting made into a full series...

 

I'll put my comments on the film Roger in the films, films, films, films, films, films thread so as not to spoil it for Cinds in this thread.

 

Good idea EC  look forward to it

This looks like appalling tosh! Must watch! 

 

Labyrinth, Channel 4 at 9.00pm tonight.

Just the lotto quiz tonight then and a few bits of catching up to do.

I'm never sure about Saturday night TV. But tonight we caught parts of The Voice, the Cube, Baldy Napper and CAFOD, and Jonathan Ross. Whilst we enjoyed the Lotto Quiz and QI, it really doesn't get much worse. Is it 'cos people are blotto and they'll watch any old tosh?

For me Saturday tv has become boring, I'm sure there was a time when there were programmes I looked forward to. My hl of the night was Michael Buble

did anyone in here watch labyrinth?  Am I going mad, was it a repeat? I have read the book [maybe even played the PC game I think, if there is one, am none to sure of anything nowadays] and was thinking is that why it seems so familiar but then so did the actors faces and that can't be from just reading the book.. yet there's no 'repeat' mark in my TV listings. .it's been bugging me all night 

 

Suppose there is one advantage of getting older and brain falling out. . Repeats are not repeats.. just a sense of Deja vu

I'm sure i've watched a film called Labyrinth Olly, my memory of things like this has always been iffy at best so i googled and found links to this interview http://www.katemosse.co.uk/ It shows a pic of cast and crew in sept 2011 so i assume it was made around then, which means it cant be the same as the  film i watched as im sure i watch it before then.

 

I missed it was it any good? ~I might try and catch up on it and record the 2nd part if it was.

 

 

159th annual Thames  boat race between Oxford and Cambridge this afternoon 

 

BBC1 4.30 

 

Oxford 76 wins V Cambridge 81 wins ... hope it is troublefree this year 

 

thanks Jen... I am fairly sure it has been shown before. .or I have seen it in a parallel life

 

I like that sort of stuff so it is good if you are into stuff like that as well.. it was lauded as a heck of a lot better than the Da Vinci Code.. it flits between now and 800 yrs ago.. I liked the book as well. .don't usually like to watch something if I have read the book too but they seem to be fairly faithfully to it

 

I think you'd need to watch the first part before you see the second bit or you could get a tad confused

The Village BBC1 at 9pm tonight looks quite good 

 

John Simm and Maxine Peake, charting life in an English village over100 years 

I've been watching Ashley Banjo's Secret Street Crew on Sunday's. 7pm on Sky 1. Every week he and others from Diversity teach a group of friends/workmates who can't dance a routine to learn in secret from their families. Lots of rehearsals and hard work to perfect the routine before performing it at an event in front of their shocked family/friends.

Is it just me, or was Easter tv a bit crap this year? Nothing special on? 

It's just you. I would make the claim that Easter Saturday had some of the worst material for decades.

Am loving the Andrew Lloyd Webber show that's on atm ... singing away at the top of my voice

Heh? You just destroyed your own argument 

Au contraire! You said it was a bit crap, I said it was the worst for decades.

The Secret In Their Eyes was good if you hadn't seen it before.

Oh I see... I take your point Joe . It was a major let down. Not even corny old movies... nothin'!

Me too Rexi... didn't like the voice of the woman who sang 'Memory' though - or the faces she made.

You know what Joe... I sort of laughed it off... but actually... I can't remember a single normal courteous reply to my posts from you... always nasty and yes I feel a bit picked on. I don't know what your problem is. 

Why so unpleasant?  You're a little forum bully... get on with your life and leave me alone please... I will report you.

Nicole Shertzinger is a nut job and an irritating X Factor judge - but she's a flippin' fantastic singer.
