There have been one or two telly related threads of late so I thought it might be worth having one thread for all tv related matters (that's telly, not the other type of tv btw ;D).
You can use this thread to discuss whatever tv programmes you like, what you like/hate on the telly at the moment, recommendations of "must see tv" and generally anything you like about telly !
At the moment, I'm enjoying
Dragon's Den on a Monday
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares on a Tuesday
Heroes on a Wednesday
The Tudors on a Friday (although not factually accurate, I'm told - I don't know enough about teh subject to know one way or the other !)
Top Gear on a Sunday
What are you enjoying at the moment ?

Whilst not wishing everyone to abandon GWD for half an hour, don't forget it's the final programme of the current series of Monty Digs It Up... ahem ... Gardener's World at 8:30pm tonight. Tonight Monty will be digging something up in order to make space for some tulip bulbs.  ;D |

Seriously for a moment.
I'm surprised to find that I am following at least the Saturday episode of Strictly Come Dancing. The standard seems to be far higher this year.
There isn't really anything else that merits a must watch these days, although I do like CSI Miami, and just lately have also caught quite a few episodes of Star Trek Deep Space Nine on Virgin 1.

Also like to watch Waterloo Road on a thursday.I watch Holby and Casualty to.
But there as been some good dramas on i like Joes Palace last sunday and there is a follow up on monday at 9.00.
I wish i had seen Heros from the start my OH is addicted to it i have never watched a single program but he tells me all about it.
I hope its repeated from the begining one day.

There isn't that much that I want to watch at the moment - soaps - are too predictable or too far fetched; heroes was ok to start with, but I'm bored with it now; I quite like CSI and NCIS if they are not repeats, or to gory - I hate psychological thrillers - and violence, and blood, and gore!! , Doc Martin was OK - easy watching; GW - just in case there is anything of interest (but thats finished now); SCD is OK; QI makes me laugh; I do enjoy a good laugh - but no decent comedy series on the box for a while. Hope it will get better over the winter months! |

Top Gear the one programme I won't miss. Apart from that I only really watch things like Car Wars/ Street Wars. Everything else I liked has finished. Cape wrath and Skins on Channel 4 were decent dramas. Drop Dead Gorgeous on BBC3 is good (and hopefully they'll make a new series.) The Visit on BBC3 is the best comedy I've watched in years and you've got to wonder why people without digital have to miss out on the good programmes:-/ Celebrity thingies and talent shows bore me rigid but I must admit to watching Judge Judy repeats if I get the chance  Oh yeah. I don't watch it, but Bargain Hunt annoys me because yet more of our licence fee gets wasted  ... Formula 1. Hate it hate it hate it. I may be using this thread a lot me thinks ;D |

If it wasn't for America, I wouldn't have much to watch All 3 CSIs All 3 Law & Order NCIS Without A Trace I'll even watch repeats! Other than that, at the moment, I watch Dragon's Den, Strictly Come Dancing, Have I Got News for You, Property Ladder. And my must-see...............I saw the first episode of Coronation Street, and have watched it ever since. I love it ;D Also watch one-off plays/films if I like the look of them. And something shameful, probably, I watch The Royal and Heartbeat  It's gentle, relaxing viewing, and the music and clothes brings back memories. |

Like some I watch all CIS's but not over keen on LV one. NCIS. Strictly Come Dancing. Hate Bruce and Tess though. The Royal and Heartbeat also for the music. and I watch a lot of programs on UKTV gardens they have some good ones on there. Ghost Whisperer which can be spooky.  And Bones has just started a new series on Sky one, great |

Unmissable - Top Gear  I've watched their fantastic trip across Botswana twice now ;D ;D, and Jeremy's day out in the tiniest car in the world was hilarious! ;D Also enjoy Emmerdale and Corrie; Doc Martin was very good; and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. Q I, Buzzcocks and Have I Got News For You all good. Having said that, the telly is on all the time, so some right old rubbish must pass right over my head! |

We watch The Tudors although it's more a sex-fest rather than a historical drama - my historian friend (her PhD was the tudors!!!) is horrified that we watch it At the same time I record Ugly Betty to watch at a later date. We LOVE Heroes and Top Gear too. Strictly Come Dancing on Saturdays and Sundays is a MUST at the moment but I don't often get a chance to watch ITT. We like having Who's Line is it Anyway on in the background while cooking and sometimes eating dinner - it's on Dave at the moment between 7.00pm and 8.00pm if anyone is interested ;D And if we are struggling to find something to watch there's usually some sort of Star Trek on a channel. |

We like QI and Mock the week and the other comedy satire type shows but we watch them as and when. Heroes is the only one I can not miss!!

TV is by and large a waste of microwaves imho
Apart from GW and QI there is really nothing I am desperate to watch. And an awful lot I would go a long way to miss! Can't stand soaps, reality TV, medical "dramas". Don't leave much do it?

It doesn't dr bill. And I'm with you mostly, love QI and the honorable Stephen Fry but apart from that I hardly watch any telly these days. There's always the Antiques Roadshow but even that is losing it's appeal for some reason. Where have all those old black and white films gone?

I don't like the new bloke that hosts Buzzcocks so don't watch it any more. I'm the opposite, I like the new guy better, though he is an impertinent wee so -and-so, so I really don't know why I like him. Maybe I like the way he punctures big egos. Though he could do with the same treatment, I suppose.  |

Dr. Bill, from the little information I've gleaned about you since I joined, my guess is that it wouldn't be your sort of programme. And believe me, that is probably a compliment. I like it, as I've said, but that is because I'm an aging rocker. |
