For some reason Mrs Jer always listens to her favourite cousin's TV tips.
As a result we've seen some right stinkers. Last night's tip was Victoria. I'm so interested in this royal family period, in fact we saw an excellent exhibition concerning the House Hannover at Marienburg Castle in July.
I'm afraid we spent the latter half laughing, Mrs Jer set me off, since it was at best awkward! We'll have to watch the first episodes now.

Have you seen the film "The Young Victoria", starring Emily Blunt? It covers much the same ground as the TV series in a much shorter time. The screenplay is by Julian Fellowes: not perhaps his best work, but I found myself discussing the film with a friend who studied the period as part of her History degree, and I managed to just about hold my own over such matters as the "Bedchamber Crisis"...
JAPAN with Joanna Lovely
I'm totally hooked - always wanted to go to Japan, ride around on some classic motorbikes and visit Fukushima

Yes, iPlayer allows you to download shows to your mobile device to watch on the go or on the toilet, which ever takes your fancy.

Did you watch the other programme where she went to Russia?
Yes EC but for some reason i have little interest in going there. Prog was good though.
But Japan - yes please - anime, manga, the culture, history, wonderful mountainous country.
Paul Connolly is getting himself locked up in two of Manila's toughest prisons for a documentary.
I wonder how much actual protection he gets.
Apparently the "Sputnik Gang" run the inside of the prison and that includes discipline.
He's off to meet them - but it actually seems like they are conducting a documentary from inside the prison.
He will be OK.
It was alright in the 1970's

This has to be one of the most boring quiz shows the BBC have come up with yet. Clearly a vehicle for the now ex-breakfast presenter and part time bee keeper Bill Turnbull.
The BBC could save money by axing this show although the prize money is nearly the amount of change in my back pocket.
Keith Richards' Lost Weekend. Started tonight on BBC4 and continues through the weekend - I'll be dipping in and out and recording bits too.

I wouldn't mind that change in my back pocket at the minute 
Don't know if anyone-else is watching, but it's the last episode of "Fleabag" at 10.30pm on BBC2 tonight.
I'm expecting the fall-out of the "Sex-hibition" to be emotional... 
When Magic goes Wrong

Watched....and it made my weekend, made me laugh, smile, think.....and gave me a great respect for his 'job' done well in shaping a bit of society then and now.
Just watched all 4 episodes of Poldark on Sunday - most enjoyable!

What's the music like?
Worth buying?
East Enders is on the telly box (not my choice)
I'm slowly losing the will to live
What an awful programme, bitter and angry and a terrible example to impressionable children (like me)
Don't remember much about the music....so either I'm 'music deaf' or it's just not remarkable enough.
And now Location with Kirsty Awful and Phil Baldy Bonce
Is she wearing those clothes for a bet???

OK no problem
I'm watching Parking Wars on ITV. It's a comedy show, it must be. Scores of stupid people getting ticketted for parking where they should not.

Kirsty is a hottie - her sister aint too bad either.

Watching and loving....Jules Holland....Music, love it or hate it, it gladdens me that it is still being made...(and not just churned out by the X factor wannabes)

I like how he has a very wide variety of artists on his show. Caters for many viewers and yes, not an x-craptor contestant in sight.
