Bank Holiday Television

[emmie]

dire or what. Today's fare is so poor, I mean who thinks of putting war
films on, endless old tired sitcoms, and westerns that weren't good when released years ago. There must be something to tickle the tastebuds,
I will watch the New Years Day concert from Vienna, but that's it.

There's a Sherlock Holmes on tonight and at the same time Treasure Island on Sky. But I agree the television has been dire.

Weve hardly watched anything on TV over Xmas. Its been terrible viewing and the next weeks doesnt look any better !! I think I will ask for a licence refund

[emmie]

SR, ok like Sherlock Holmes with the lovely dominick cumberbatch, but don't have sky, so can't watch that. But a sample of todays programmes, offers up
the bridge on the river kwai, for the 100th time, The chronicles of narnia, been shown at least 4 times over the christmas, then the endless omnibus editions of the soaps, enough misery to make one seek some solace in the bottle.

wish i had some andre rieu tapes, at least his music is wonderfully uplifting.

[Zacs-Master]

Isn't this more of a chatter bank post?

[emmie]

no, it's tv, in case you missed the heading.

Nothing wrong with this in TV section, always hopeful that someone will be able to find something worth watching and point us towards it.

Until then I agree with em10 - very poor offerings of old fashioned stuff on the main channels. We're lucky enough to be near the coast and have mild weather - we're off out for a ride and have a DVD for this evening if we need one.

[Zacs-Master]

Yep but it ain't a question.

maidup, going to watch lark rise to candleford again, and then anything that i don't have to think too much about, the brain just isn't up to much at the minute.

[emmie]

Ok.
Does anyone agree that the TV that has been on over the Bank Holiday poor? Don't all shout at once.

[Noraq]

..so..if it's not a T.V. question...what is it??!!...there's always one!!

[deggers316]

the best thing we saw this Xmas was "Lapland" with sue johnston bbc1 excellent comedy /drama

[Zacs-Master]

It's a statement. There is no proposition. Therefore it's chatter.

[Noraq]

thank you 'Sheldon'

[emmie]

deggers, missed it, but i am still trying to get over this virus, so needed some diversion that wasn't too taxing. Not that i thought that would be, if you get my meaning.

Perhaps Zac Master would like to bogg off and leave us all alone, whilst we discuss the merits of British TV>

[Zacs-Master]

Nah. I'll stick around. :-)

[Noraq]

...did he mean preposition?

[Zacs-Master]

What about 7 brides fir 7 bothers on 5pm a bit!

for someone who joined AB on christmas eve near midnight, perhaps you have nothing better to do than have a pop for no reason. This is a question about tv, it's poor, and the offerings for the bank holiday could be a whole lot more entertaining for those who can't get out, or don't wish to, and want to be entertained.
