Makes you wonder about the mentality of the majority of the population, if
they like all the rubbish that's on nowadays....
Lets hope that the BBC keeps going as they have the best programs in the
world :~))
I think that in the foreseeable future we will have TV on demand via
internet. lets hope that the quality does not deteriorate even more.

You can never watch the complete Midsommer Murders. There's people dying
there every day the way the series works :-)

Why not just buy one of them, they're all the same.

Torchwood (BBC2 in about an hour from now) is pretty good


Yep Torchwood is an over hyped travelog of Cardiff using reject scripts
and sets from Dr Who with actors who cannot act.

But it doesn't include the deadly dangerous Daleks who must surely be
constantly thwarted by kerbs, stairs, potholes and shingle beaches.

Good plan! There is less and less I can bear to watch - we gave up on
Spooks because it was all terrorists, and we've had friends and family
very close to both the Twin Towers and the underground blasts. But
Quatermass, now that I could cope with....

www.amazon.co.uk appears to charge half the price

snip prices
I looked at choicesuk and agree Amazon is far cheaper. We haven't had a TV
for about 20 years but do watch DVDs (DVD projector and home-made screen). We
really enjoy Foyle's War, and found some of these sets very much cheaper from
the Netherlands through eBay. They have Dutch subtitles, but these are simple
to turn off.

Maybe - however it's still one of the better things on tv at the moment.
I can't believe how many channels there are on freeview and so little
worth watching. Please please please bring on the spring and the logn
nights so I can get back out into the garden again...

btw - nothing wrong with an over hyped travelog of Cardiff, it's a
brilliant place to live but then again I live there so I would say that ;-)

And there's more on Sunday!

But there were only three murders in the Sunday one, most dissapointing!
