Worshipping at the altar of the great glass God!

Wayne · 24th Nov 2006, 1:56 AM

Sort of a combination of the old 'What Did You Watch Last Night' & 'What's on TV Tonight' & related threads.
In other words, What are you watching at the moment? What did you last night/this week? What's on your big glass screen tonight?

I'm currently doing the final season of The Twilight Zone, which the 'main' one. After which i'll be making a start on Dr.Who's Patrick Troughton era.
Secondary viewing is 'Angel', currently on Season 3, doing an ep a day.
Marked in the TV Guide to record is 'Torchwood', & casual viewing: Coronation Street, & some of the BBC4 Sci-Fi stuff.

I think that covers everything for now.

Tonight I need to catch the Torchwood repeat as I missed it at the weekend (& wednesday). Not looking forward to it from the trailer!

Last night I finished S3 of 'I Didn't Know You Cared', may start on S4 tonight, as well as trying to squeeze in an episode of New Avengers and Hanc0ck Vol.4 which arrived in the post this morning.

P.S. Don't like the swearing filter on this new board!

Edited to add: I've also got a bit of the BBC Four sci-fi stuff to watch (episode of Doomwatch, part 2 of 'The Martians & Us' and the Nigel Kneale Timeshift, although I've seen that before.)

I'm currently watching a bit of everything.

Jonno gave me a couple of his old 'Steptoe & Son' vids last, & i snuck a couple of eps in this afternoon.
Didn't think much of the old B/W ep: 'The Bath', but i liked 'Porn Yesterday', where they find an old 'What the Butler Saw' machine that's got a film featuring Albert in it.

Yes, these churches are very modern now aren't they?

**Dirk Gently** · 24th Nov 2006, 5:03 PM

Religion eh? It comes in all shapes & sizes.

I'm not sure I'll see much TV tonight, I might see A Question of Sport & an episode of the Simpsons but that'll be about it.

Watched the last 2 Steptoe's of 'Best of - Vol.1' this morning as kind of warm up to today's Twilight Zone stint. The best one was 'And So To Bed' where Harold's got a g/f of sorts, who ends up wet through on the water bed.

mmmm.....nice!

I've been interspersing watching episodes of Dick Turpin with episodes Sliders series 1 and 2 over the last few days.

I read an article about this a few weeks ago- about how TV Licensing usually start to crack down on student households without licences about this time of year, but because you can buy/rent/download stuff on DVD these days and so many students have laptops with a DVD drive anyway, the licensing people are getting stuffed because an increasing number don't have televisions or need them.

Good for the students, i say!

Stuff the tv license people any way you can i say.

My mate doesn't have a telly, but he has a tv card in his pc that's attached to a portable tv arial in his attic. He records stuff straight to his drive, & he gets a better picture than i do!

I've been watching Teachers on DVD. I never watched it when it was on but seeing the whole run over the past couple of weeks has been good stuff. Even though the cute staff member left at the end of series two.

And QI remains the best show on TV.

Cathy Come Home is on BBC Four again tonight...

**Jonno** · 26th Nov 2006, 9:09 PM

Glad to see Wayne's been enjoying most of the Steptoes from the sound of it! The water bed one is indeed a classic, and although you don't seem to have enjoyed it much, I love the scenes in The Bath where Albert drops the pickled onions in his tub and then puts them all back in the jar again!

I've spent the last week catching up with stuff I didn't see from the Thursday to the Sunday that consisted of my very long Meet weekend - plenty of Lost, Avengers, Star Trek TOS and TNG, Robin Hood, Coast, Planet Earth... Fortunately all bar the Trek get either repeats later in the week or are on my new NTL VOD service. Haven't had time to watch any of my various DVDs though...

**Dave Tudor** · 26th Nov 2006, 9:45 PM

I've been watching 'The Catherine Tate Show' (featuring The Tate) and 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' (featuring The Barrowman), after which I'll be enjoying 'Torchwood' (again featuring The Barrowman), and then rounding off the evening with The Who (not featuring The Doctor) live on BBC One at 10.55.

Oh beggar, I didn't know about that.

Still, it'll be repeated ad naus, I s'pose.

Kewl, my Hammer House of M & S came today-I shall be "not him/her again" ing tonight.

**Paul Monk** · 27th Nov 2006, 10:21 AM

Nice to see Paul watching Dick Turpin. What do you think of it?

I loved that episode, Wayne!

I'll have to dig out my old video of it now to watch it again!

I'm loving it. I used to watch it as a kid, but had no real recollections apart from it having Richard O'Sullivan in it, and the theme tune. The DVD's were quite cheap too.

QI is undoubtedly the best thing on tv... but I have to wait till some kind people upload it to YouTube before getting to see it
