Dr who will be the only thing I'll be watching and the Mrs will be all over the depressing eastenders
To be fair, there's always plenty of non-pleb-fodder available from the BBC on both conventional TV and on BBC iPlayer.Quote:

Also if you've never watched their other show "inside no 9" you should.
the inside number 9 they did with sheridan smith was brilliant, had me in tears at the endQuote:

I don't watch much, a bit of news and sport. I work offshore, last time home in five weeks I watched The Vietnam War, H is for Hawk and a couple of Blue Planets, my wife was staggered by how much tv I'd watched calling me a couch potato. I've tried watching recommended series, but for some reason I even abandon the ones I'm enjoying, can't be arsed. Might have to stop watching the news next time home if I'm going to force fed the royal wedding.Quote:

People used to make their likes and dislikes known. But it seems frowned upon to be seen to get too bothered by anything these days.
Unlikely there will be much coverage of that.Quote:

The only good thing on the Beeb over Christmas this year and every other year is our dear Queen's Chrimbo message. Isn't it simply marvellous that she sacrifices part of her day to address us? More so since Charlie was remarried because she runs the risk of gutsy Camilla scoffing what's left of the turkey when she's away from the grub table.
£18. You can also get the Dad's Army box set for just £20Quote:

Dr Who is the only thing I'll bother with. Then I'm popping over to Sludge's for an evening of comedy - they should put him in charge of the Beeb.
League of Gentlemen though - is that on this Christmas or next, because it sounds like it's still being filmed.
Queens speech is recorded - its not live.Quote:
