What Are You Currently Watching (on tv/dvd)?

[Ian]

Finished Roseanne season 6. Not as good as 4 and 5. Not enough Darlene for one thing.

Doctor Who - The Edge of Destruction. Average at best.

[Ian]

Doctor Who - The Empty Child. Very good, in general.

[Ian]

On Buffy season 4 at the moment. Love that show. My second fave TV show of all time.

[Ian]

Doctor Who - Silence in the Library. Very enjoyable, for the most part. Shame about the ending, which almost spoils the whole thing by being sugary enough to send you into a diabetic coma, but for the most part it's a good romp. Not a great story, but still a very entertaining and fun one.

The Avengers (b&w Emma Peel eps). Blackadder season 2. Classic telly.

[Ian]

Started X Files season 6 last night. "Drive" is an absolute cracker - a hugely scary, edge-of-the-seat, ticking-time-bomb, WTF-is-going-on classic.

[Ian]

Buffy: Hush. The One Where No One Talks (well, for half an hour or so at least ). Extraordinary television.

[Ian]

Doctor Who - Paradise Towers. Lame and stupid but fun.

Sick of watching almost nothing worthwhile in this endless post Christmas TV season I bought a few DVD's.
Watched the movie "Frida" last night. Award winning film about the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
Very, very good.
Salma Hayek was exceptional in the role, even down to the single eyebrow.

Come on, you know you only bought it on the off chance Rebecka was in it. Fess up.

...Fess up.

OK, I confess.



So embarassed!

Home and Away's Tom and Pippa not only in the same episode of Sons and Daughters, but sharing scenes with each other!


I think they're just taking the p*** now, to be honest.

[fish]

When things like that start happening I generally stop watching.

If they just want to take the p*** thay can do it over someone else.

[Ian]

LOL Fish, the joke is these episodes of Sons and Daughters were made like 6 years before Home and Away even started!


Been rewatching (or rather, skimming over most of) the most recent Who season. Midnight is good, and the Ood one was alright (Tim McInnerny is great), but everything else is just dire. Turned off most of them after 10 minutes apiece. Absolute garbage. I really hope the next season is better.

[Ian]

X Files: Dreamland. Almost unprecedented to have a 2 part X Files that isn't a Conspiracy story, and oh, how REFRESHING! This imaginative, comical story sees Mulder bodyswapped with a Man In Black (played engagingly by Spinal Tap's Michael McKean), who relishes the opportunity of being Mulder while Mulder is lumped with his dreary wife and obnoxious kids. Big fun.
