Don't know if it does. I'd never seen it until last night, when i watched about 20 mins of an ep. Wasn't mad impressed.

Mind you, I've never watched Downton Abbey either. Can't see any of them likely to take the crown from Upstairs, Downstairs :p

There's a series just coming to its end on tv at the moment. A documentary called Educating Yorkshire, following the pupils and teachers of a Yorkshire secondary school.



There have been a lot of ups and downs. But probably one of the most emotional ups was when Musharaf overcame his stammer.

Oh YES!
Captain Jack Harkness aka all singing all dancing twinkly eyed omnisexual 51st century man. Wait, I think I've confused the character and the man somewhat.
I can't help either, never even seen 20 minutes of it.

I'm still plugging Misfits, something I can't remember anyone
here falling into raptures of delight over.
It's the last series and it's still as snappy, irreverent, dirty, violent, shocking and twisted as ever. If you watch on 4-Onine you get about three different warnings that it contains bad swears, random violence, sex, nudity and adult themes and really, make sure you are not going to sue us disclaimers before you even get to the pre-title sequence. Whichprobably contains all of the above.

Just don't.
Ever, not never. Be a probation worker.

Now on season four of Doctor Who. Just said goodbye to Martha and hello to Donna. I watched the 50th when it was on, though I am sure I missed a lot being ignorant of 11 and Clara.

I did not realize going in that the body count in this show would be so high or that it would be quite so sad. So many of the story arcs are tragic. I found myself telling my brother I'd loved how happy the Adipose episode was because "only" two people died. And "Voyage of the Damned" - who kills two thousand people including half a dozen named characters in a CHRISTMAS episode?!

Choco, you haven't seen a Brtish soap opera Christmas special have you :)

hahaha. yeah. I've lost touch with soapland, who's slated to die horribly in Eastenders this year?

EVERYONE!
Probably a drive-by shooting at a church. Because everyone also marries at Christmas.

Who/ Cherry connections.
Went to see Catherine Tate & David Tennant in Much Ado About Nothing.
Catherine Tate was in The Exonerated with Steve Pemberton - one of The League of Gentlemen.
Steve Pemberton is also with the Doctor and Donna in Silence in the Library.
I was an extra in Psychoville written and starring Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith.
The scene starring the back of my head was set during a pantomime.
I go to see John Barrowman every year in pantomime with Dani and Limey, starring John Barrowman.
The first panto I saw JB in was in Cardiff.
John Barrowman plays Captain Jack Harkness who travels with two Doctors, albeit briefly, including one set in Cardiff during the Bad Wolf story arc.
Both this and a Ten storyline feature Roald Dahl Plaza, where I have taken photos posted here.

It gets fractured from here, in order to include Derren Brown and the rest.
All my little heroes lined up.

Nicely done, Chezzer.

I'm getting back into Sherlock. I finally got around to Hound of the Baskervilles a few days ago. I had tried watching it before, ages ago, but my internet wouldn't let me stream it properly, so I gave up. It came on a few nights ago on TV so I took the opportunity to watch. Very good.

I wasn't able to watch the finale on tv, a couple of nights ago, so am currently trying to download it. I saw the first few minutes and was hooked.

re-watched Extras last night. Kate Winslet is hilarious, "...your purple headed womb ferret..."

Watched the Sherlock series 3 premiere last night then stayed awake smiling for four hours. LOVED IT.

I have been meaning to post this for a while now. A show called Gadget Man, which looks at all things tech and gadget. First series was hosted by Stephen Fry, but he was replaced by Richard Ayoade (IT Crowd, Garth Merenghi) (not sure why, but the timing suggests it was when Fry was quite ill).

I quite liked the first series. Always nice to see Fry. But, it didn't grab me enough to post about it. But Ayoade seems a better fit as host.

Most of the second series is on youtube, but not available in my country. You can probably get it stateside. Which means I can't post my favourite episode here (episode 1, Stephen Mangan as guest). But i can post episode 6 ... let's see if that is available to you all, it's the only one i can access ;p



I really like Richard Ayoade. I've loved him in everything I've seen him in. Quietly, and without any great fanfare, he's become very well-known and respected as a comedian, actor, writer, TV presenter and director.

I've gotten hooked on Downton Abbey. Very hooked.

Yes! I am hooked and have been waiting for the 3rd season.

First ep of the new series of Sherlock was brilliant!

I've downloaded the second so I can watch it on my laptop in bed tonight ;)

Blackader outtakes.
 

I think that the best bit is Stephen Fry corpsing at about 1.50 and blaming Hugh Laurie, who remains unseen, for the hiatus.
