Television, drug of the nation

pfff - Sherlock without David Sachet?

what's the point >>>>>

itv would have ant and dec doing the lead roles.

They'd have Eamon Holmes playing Sherlock Holmes FFS. With his wife as his assistant.

I'll get my coat.

There's an english version of The Bridge? Eh?

They have some of the 1st series on the iPlayer if you feel the need to catch up.

The Tunnel, (but I don't think we missed anything)

FTFY.

Yeah, you sum it up perfectly. Fucking shit. Over-hyped massively just because it is one of the best British dramas on telly.

I don't think it is over hyped really, it's just that there has been nothing as remotely as good for a long time. But it's not amazing. Just pretty good. I really liked the first and third episode of the first series - after that it hasn't been quite so good

The Tunnel, (but I don't think we missed anything)

That was actually pretty good. Not saying it was a great as the original but definitely worth a watch.

I watched and enjoyed the tunnel recently.. so it was just a remake of the Bridge? I take it the latter is somewhat ruined by having watched the tunnel?

Saga Noren, Malmo

i love these chairs

watched that episode of Sherlock last night - I take it all back, it was shit beyond belief

I lost interest after 20 mins

If you mean the one where he does the best man speech, it makes something of itself eventually but I nearly turned it off twice before the end. It was a viewing of attrition.

I find myself imagining Basil Rathbone properly fucking up Benedict Cumberbatch beyond recognition, using Marquis of Queensbury rules.

yeah the sign of three episode

I watched the whole thing. A couple of funny bits, a few "touching" moments, and a whole boat load of guff.

Watched it last night. Needed moar stabby stabby less wishy washy.

You're Sherlock Holmes motherfucker, smoke some crack and solve a fucking crime already!

the murder weapon was a bit of a stretch too. no one would feel that, definitely not.

It wouldn't have even penetrated past my beer gut. #beergutssavelives

Sherlock Ep2

Owen Jones responding to Channel 4's Benefits Street:

Where's the TV show about low-paid workers struggling on in-work benefits or unemployed people desperate for work?

Where's the TV show about low paying bosses and private landlords scrounging off the welfare state with low pay and rent subsidies?

Where's the TV show about rich tax dodgers who are hiding £25 billion from the public purse while millions struggle?

Where's the TV show about £16bn of benefits unclaimed by working and unemployed people, compared to £1.2bn benefit fraud?

Most social security goes to pensioners who pay in all their life. Most working-age benefits go to working people. 6.5m people are chasing full-time work

Make everyone think unemployed people are scroungers, and let the bankers and tax-dodgers get away with it. Clever, really

As for well-off TV producers trying to further their career by turning the poor against the poor: You. Are. The. Pits. #benefitsstreet

^ exactly

I bet the elite earned more in the space of that one hour programme from offshore funds, dodgy investments etc than the cumalative total wealth of those people over their entire lifetimes

it also resulted in some pretty weapons grade fuckwittery from cunts with computers.

there's a rumour going round that the producers got the people in this show to sign up under false pretences, tho how they thought it would be anything other than a fuck-the-poor hatchet job is anyone's guess.

“They recorded me making a phone call enquiring about a job vacancy even though I asked them not to,” she said.

“A guy answered so I asked what the job involved. He said it was to do with massages and other stuff and said what size girls he was looking for.

“We had a laugh at first, but then I got angry because I was desperate for work.

“They only showed the part with us laughing to make it look like it was all a big joke. They have betrayed me and everyone else.”

that's what i said!

Oh yeah, soz!
