Bring back

Get some in
Mind your language
Love thy neighbour
Black and white minstrels
Wheel tappers and shunters...etc

Love thy neighbour that brings back memories can you imagine if they re ran that in the politically bullocks world we live in now Possibly the best British comedy of its time which did more for racial harmony than any policy made in Brussels or parliament and at a time when racial equality was arguably at its most one sided.

Wheel tappers and Shunters LOL "On behalf of the comiteeeeee"

Mind your Language that dozy teacher trying to teach English to a mature foreign students

Blinking ell I’m showing my age now and BTW I’m nowhere near 60

Paddy McGuinness I find him even duller than Vernon Kay.

Crickey !! That bad huh ?

Crickey !! That bad huh ?

Well both of them just seem really wooden and seem to play on their broad Lancashire accents. It's a close call but Take Me Out narks me more than All Star Family Fortunes so yes he is that bad. Although All Star Family Fortunes is terrible. I remember when crap tv game shows were made entertaining due to funny presenters, Blankety Blank with Les Dawson comes to mind. Maybe that's the only one.

I've been watching Inspector Montalbano.....quite liked that one although needing to read the English subtitles took a bit of extra concentration. But agree, of the 200 odd channels we get on our Sky thingy, 99% is drivel.

But of course, Postie, there is always the reruns of Dads Army on BB2 Saturday evenings!!

Yes, Luca was very good.

There's loads of dross on tv, always has been. But there's loads of good stuff too. Notions of a golden age are just so much rose-tinted delusion. Most of it was rubbish, and there were only three channels, and at midnight nanny told us all to go to bed. (I took it as read, in passing, that TBMc was being ironic. Every one of those shows was a steaming pile of poo.)

We like that, it's benissimo supremo or something like!

Tombola!

There's some very good TV still being produced. Careful use of the ON button will discover it.

I look forward to the day when TV is no longer screened 'real-time' and you can watch what you want when you want. Apart from anything else it'll be nice to be able to choose the day you get the news from.

That's pretty much what I do now. I record tons of stuff and watch a bit of it later, when I want to, and I can watch it on the computer, on a different TV, or even on a phone (useful if I want to get a headache from trying to see it on such a small screen).

+1, thats exactly what I do too.
Infact, this morning I have reduced my 175 channel VM package to the lowest 75 channel package. If it wasnt for the fact that their broadband was so good then I'd scrap Virgin media all together and go the freewiew / freesat route.

We dont watch "live" tv in our house.. even the kids dont. They use stuff streamed from the imac to the apple TV or watch things on netflix (which by the way is much better if you use the american version)

That's more or less what I do, too - and I don't need to record anything. Virgin Media does that all for me. It's very rare that something I actually want to watch isn't on one of the watch-again lists.

Freesat is sky with all the good channels removed and only the s##t left. only reason i went for it was to get the bbc HD channels

only program on the tv that makes me laugh is the Big bang theory still great after 100 episodes
