Just found this thread while looking for the specific tv section (question about firestick)
My recent viewing has been….
Star Trek discovery on paramount plus. Was the final episode of the final series… and wrapped up a lot of loose ends.
I don’t get the hate that this programme gets from some online sources.
It’s a different time to be creating tv content… like tng, ds9 and voyager in the 90’s were different the the original 60’s…. These new shows, discovery, Picard, strange new worlds… are going to be different again.
The cartoons, I haven’t watched.
Doctor who.
It’s getting a bit tiresome that the companions turn out to be just as magical as the doctor himself… (if rumours about Ruby are to be believed)
Rose, Cpt Jack, Amy, Clara, Bill…. Even Donna Noble was a chosen target by a giant spider woman from her first appearance…
We’ve now got a “retired” tennant doctor lodging with the Nobles while the new one gets all the fun.
It’s a short season of only 8 episodes, so coming to an end already… Still need to see if there’s another Toymaker/ Maestro type character… the mystery of rubys mum…. The neighbour mrs flood, who initially didnt recognise the TARDIS, but suddenly changed by the end of the episode.
Flood…. River….. Pond?…. Hmmm
And what is up with the actress who has appeared as a different unconnected character in each episode and the introduction of a scientist S. Triad ….. oh look, an anagram of Tardis…
BGT final tomorrow.

Forgot about this thread. Hopefully I can add some more tv reviews.
Tonight has been the first episode of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing… The 20th season.
First episode is always when the celebrity’s meet their professional dancers.
This years collection of “who the heck are they” include Nick Knowles, Toyah Wilcox, some bloke from Eastenders and completely blind stand up comedian, Chris McCausland
Yes… completely blind.
A couple of years ago, they had a deaf actress compete, who eventually won the show… and part of one of dances included cutting the music off, so that the audience could experience the dance the same way she does…
They will be trying the same this year with the blind comedian by turning off all the lights

We have watched this from the start but I'm not sure if we will watch this series. The cheering and whooping from the "celebrities" and pro dancers is totally over the top, Tess's false laughing is tedious and Claudia's humour has worn thin. The BBC's need to tick boxes with same sex dance partners I find distasteful and I'm not alone in that, most of my family members no longer watch it because of this.
About a month ago BBC4 showed the very first programme which you can probably still stream and to say it was sedate is an understatement Tess looked like a terrified teen.

i agree about the box ticking exercise.....
My mother in law has watched it since the beginning... big fan of Brucie of course...
And although she likes individual celebrities and dancers.... she would purposefully change channel when same sex couples came on... just for the few minutes of the dancing.... then go back to it....
The entire premise of most tv shows now is to tick a minority box.... or to shock so far things become unwatchable....
I watched The Word, and Chris Evans TFI Friday back in the day... I know what shock value is... but now you've got naked dating, naked survival shows.... next it'll be naked DIY, or The Great British Nake' Off....

Maybe ' naked electrician '...
See who from the forum would volunteer for that ...
I was not impressed with the last season of Dr Who.. And I'm usually a good fan.
Watched the Christmas special that was enough never touched the new series.
Too many unanswered questions with the new Dr Who....
Like how did itsy btsy teeny weeny turn up on an alien world with man eating slugs and a social media problem.
Or, since Nicola Coughlan is going to be in this years christmas special... Ruby knows what Bridgerton is.......
Maybe Eastenders exists in the Dr Who world as well, and she'll realise she lives next door to Angie Watts...
Its been Disneyfied.... For better or for worse.
Might take Disney plus again... i think they've got a £2.00 a month special coming

Really... big brother
a least its somehow better than love island
Really... big brother
They are both terrible.... but that is what makes them fun to watch. The people are sooo shallow and tacky you just have to laugh at them.
The first 2 series of Big Brother were actually good.....
EDIT: Oh, welcome to the forum mate.
Agreed.
The first few series of BB were tame in comparison, but at least they were “normal” people.
Now it’s models, influencers etc trying to get known…. Appearing on more than one of these types of programme until they can be classed as a celebrity.
Bake off has been on a couple weeks now, and so far one has been judged off, another has left through illness…. Another fainted during the baking…. And another just simply fell off his stool during the judging.

I get the impression that BB makes up the rules of a game as they go along?
That Red/blue thing didn’t really go anywhere except who’s up for first eviction. (Spoiler: most of them)
I’ve never seen so many teeth veneers in one go

I would rather have my teeth pulled one by one followed by a circumcision and a castration than have to endure watching an episode of big brother.
anyone who can endure watching it has my admiration for being so tolerant and able to do so.
however you will also have my opinion of your stance as a professional and worthy member of society reduced by a huge amount.
I will still talk to you but consider you a Pratt!!!

Remember the scene in A Clockwork Orange when Alex is forced to watch the film. Nothing less than that would make me watch BB, Love Island, Made in Chelsea or a few other programs in that genre.
So not your jam, then, guys?
I have been watching Agatha All Along on Disney, and it seems to fit into the “we’re Marvel, people will watch it, I don’t care how good it is” section.
Also rewatching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in preparation for the season 3

Of course BB just does it's think.
When this series first came on they say something like "Who wins.... you decide..." to which I said "No we don't" my daughter looked at me like I was thick and replied "yes we do, we vote". I had to point out that, the way BB edits what is happening influences who people vote for. I've seen it happen with Nikki Grahame in series 6.
I thought they had all had the Turkey Teeth job done..
So no change for me then..
BB final tonight… Go Ali. At least the annoying “literally” one is out.
Same time as Children In Need…. Seen paddy cross the line, that was a silly bike to ride on!
I’m a Celeb starts tomorrow… with actual celebs this time…

Anyone watching The Apprentice one of our favourites.
No. Because if anyone says “you’re fired” I get flashbacks.
TV.
Dancing on ice is still on.
If you don’t know, me and my middle daughter volunteer teaching ice skating to kids on Sundays in the winter.
When “DOI” starts on tv there’s a major influx of new members.
Britains Got Talent started last Saturday, so that’s a new crop of mediocre singers, crappy dog acts and kid magicians…. Oh, and not forgetting the silent horror shock acts… usually sword swallowers or people inserting other sharp objects into various orifices.
Movies.
Watched the latest Marvel film, “Captain America Brave New World” and it’s actually one of the better recent offerings.
Celebrity Big Brother starts tonight… with people I’ve actually heard of!
Ok. Most of them, I’ve heard of.
Some names are familer
Faces… maybe.. names… maybe not.
Ok we’ve got a corrie actor in Jack P Shepherd.. Eastenders Bianca, Patsy Palmer. Presenter Angelica Bell, Drag act Danny Beard…. Olympic legend Daley Thompson, American “entertainer” Jojo Siwa and a bunch of TOWIE, Love Island rejects and an ex politician.
I should say “rumoured” to be entering the house tonight.

Don't really watch TV. The Aussie will come in from work and watch re-runs of NCIS for the 20th time whilst I make supper and then we'll fire up a Netflix/Prime something for a couple of hours. I even ditched the Sky box a couple of months ago as it was doing absolutely nothing that the smart TV can't do by itself anyway and you can't get on Freesat. In fact, much to our confusion there's about a thousand other satellite ch's appeared last night as well, none of which will ever get so much as glanced at.

I would advise not to click any "submit" button until Dan has a chance to look at it.
I dont think the forum has a "menu" button as such.....
You can send a DM to Dan with the envelope icon in top right

I'm pretty sure you are the only one who thinks it's not Rockin-Git.
In my defence I'm also pretty sure I have referred to you as RG several times over the years on more than one forum
UK tv channels…. What do you think you are doing??
BBC1, 6:50. Saturday night, New doctor Who
ITV, 7pm. Britains Got Talent.
You have no idea the turmoil in our house trying to decide which to watch and which to record…
“You can skip through the adverts!”
“It’s only Doctor Who!”
I’m sure you can imagine.
So I lost. Skybox set to record bbc1…..
however sometime in the afternoon, I was perusing the apps on my tv, looking for something… bbc iPlayer, turns out, drops doctor who at midnight Saturday morning. I didn’t have to wait….. I got it watched at 4 o’clock.
So that’s my Saturdays sorted for the next few weeks.

I watched the Dr Who episode on Saturday and I can confirm one thing - I won't be watching any more with this guy. I used to be a big fan years ago but I thought Saturdays was so bad I would rather stick pins in my eyeballs than watch another episode. The 'acting' was terrible, the plot was useless and the robots were probably designed by an 8 year old. Apart from that it was okay ;-)
The acting has always been terrible…. Even before “new” Who.
Robots with emoji smiles changing faces has been done before on Who….
Social commentary on whatever is in the news just now is the “big bad” … Done before.
White, blonde haired teenager companion replaced by 20 something that works as a nurse…. Done before.
It was 10 times better than the last series first episode… Space Babies and the literal Bogey man.
This opinion may change after next weeks, Alan Cummins as cartoon baddie episode
