The last two series of Red Dwarf have been pretty decent, I thought. The movie-length episode last year was as good as anything in the first 4 series.
The natural magic of the 1980s pets were great but it seemed very forced when it came back 2002, its a bit like the band Madness I loved them in their original phase but didn't like it when they came back as the London etc they sang about in 1979-1986 you couldn't create that scene/feeling and that's a bit like Auf Wiedersehen plus by then Jimmy Nail was a right brat in real life.
Good post
Yes, you're right. We all have our likes and dislikes – and de gustibus rules over all.
Yup. My response goes something like fer fuck's sake, it's telly innit, go an' 'ave a wank or summat.
The problem with that reasoning is that, should I force you to eat broccoli, or find a recipe in which broccoli was acceptable to you (or even if not), you could still digest that broccoli and your body could make use of its fibre and vitamins.
I should point out that I really like broccoli; it was just the first thing that entered my head at the time.
Not the sort of thing you'd say to your grandmother though is it?
... but still not as bad as Mrs Brown's Boys or Keith Lemon...
Agreed, although Keith Lemon is in such a league of his own that he makes Mrs Brown look like Oscar Wilde.
Indeed.
Wait, what? I was subjected to that as the ex liked it (1980s, one TV!) but can remember absolutely nothing about it.
From Wikipedia:
This is a whole new world of Fortean/cop show interest for me. I would watch any and all of those special episodes.
I remember an episode of 'Crown Court' - it may have been a Christmas one, I don't remember, where the whole premise was that someone had had an accident and gravity was on trial for causing it...or something like that. Anyone else remember it? I was watching on my lunchbreak from college, so it would be around 1978/9.
I think the magazine I used to work for back in the day, SFX, did a feature on supernatural storylines in mainstream TV shows. I'll see if I can dig it out – maybe it's a theme to be revisited.
Oh yes, please do!
And of course we have the Scarred for Life books covering this as well, this is a link to volume one, volume two came out last week.
Yeah, we've seen that, it was on Talking Pictures TV last year at some point. Quite entertaining, although probably wouldn't watch it a second time unlike some films that we're happy to watch over and over again.
I've just ordered Volume 2! With any luck it'll be here next week (because obviously I don't have enough books to read).
