Wallace & Gromit - Revenge Most Fowl from the Beeb. It was alright, but it feels like the the half-hour ones work far better, and as they've become more polished over the years they've lost some of their charm. The Wrong Trousers was the high point, I reckon.

I get what you mean but I still loved it.

Mr Bates vs the Post Office - didn't see it when it aired, but enough to make the most mild-mannered among us fume.

Dara & Ed's Great Big Adventure - didn't see it when it first aired, but a three-parter about Dara O'Briain and Ed Byrne's 4,000 mile road trip through the Americaa. Interesting and funny.

After the first few series, We felt No 9 went a little downhill but, series 8 & 9 brought a return to form, with 9 very dark, even by Pemberton and Shearsmith standards.

Have you seen the hour-long piece about the series coming to an end? It's on iplayer at the end of series 9. Watched last night and really enjoyed it.

Also watched the latest 24 Hours in Police Custody, about three separate people involved in the crystal meth business in (of all places) Norfolk. I reckon they should have called it Breaking Broad...

After recommendation from two friends Rach and I have just finished season 1 of All Creatures And Small. I vaguely remember watching the original when I was a kid and wasn't sure about watching a remake but I love it. Will be starting season 2 tonight.

Currently watching Marvin Gaye live at Montreux Jazz festival in 1980. Wicked.

Re-watching Oz & James's Big Wine Adventure, and will doubtless segue into the Californian one and Oz & James Drink to Britain. Oz's pretentions being mocked by May is a source of endless delight.

A few nights ago I watched 'Belfast', a semi-biographical account produced by Kenneth Branagh's upbringing as a youngster in the height of the N. Ireland troubles of the late 60s. Very captivating and sad.

Set up to record a three part series by James May about the 'great' explorers - quotation marks included as the first one seems as though it'll be bringing Columbus down a peg or two. Will give it the benefit of the doubt as the RT writeup is good, though staggeringly it's on C5...

Earlier this evening, my wife was watching a programme on BBC 4 about Cleopatra and, I couldn’t help thinking about Carry On Cleo…

No mystery as to which of the two of you is the cultured one.
Leave BBC4 to the wife and you stick to ITV3......where you can watch a quality documentary about transport in the 1970s, called 'On The Buses'.

Condemned to watching ITV3, is a fate worse than death. Watching On the buses, is worse…
