Bez · Post by **Bez** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 6:55 am

As winter and dark nights close in on a lot of us 'The Unfortunates', what programmes will be keeping you entertained for the next 4 or 5 months ?

My list at the moment:-

Strictly come dancing

Wire in the blood

Silent Witness

Ministry of Food (Jamie Oliver)

Britains Best Dish

The Tudors....hopefully this will return with season 3 after Christmas

Did anyone see Spooks last night?

Immy was drooling over the new character Lucas North (Richard Armitage)!!

I almost hate to say it but Season 4 and 5 of Stargate Atlantis have been well worth spending time with. Nobody knew I was a closet nerd, eh? Though if you've seen none of what went before you have to start at Season 1 obviously. The whole franchise seems to be going to movie release after this season ends.

Firefly, if you've not seen it, is unmissable. All twelve or so episodes and then the movie.

Sanctuary, sadly, has too many mistakes to be watchable. They really need to work out how to make an all-cgi program that doesn't look like a computer game, for one thing. I'm glad they blazed the trail but the faults are glaring.

Watched Gordon Ramsey's 'cookalong' and laughed so much....Patsy kensit was great and.....the food looked good too. Don't ususally watch Gordon because of the swearing !

The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Gossip Girl?

Bez · Post by **Bez** » Wed Nov 26, 2008 4:10 am

Oh dear...I lost interest in the Sarah connors Chronicles....better catch up I guess.

At the moment I've been watching Strictly come Dancing. Catch up with X Factor when it's repeated. Started to watch 're-make' of Survivors but losing interest already.

Other programmes of viewing pleasure/Interest :-

Little Dorrit

Hutch....documentary about Leslie Hutchinson

Merlin

The One Show

Wish there were more Catherine Cookson dramas on 'the box'.

The only thing that grabs me at the moment is 'I'm a celebrity get me outta here'.

Seeing Robert Kilroy-Silk covered in cockroaches and wags eating croc testie's is just too funny :yh_rotfl

P.s. I want Timmy Mallet to win.

I was most annoyed to see 'Kilroy' voted off 'I'm a celeb' last night.

I really hoped it would be that Page three girl with the big boobie's. She's childish and has a nasty streak in her.

Well done to Timmy Mallett for managing to be so annoying and winding everyone up.

martina has the personality of a slug on prosaic.

David Van day is talking to himself but i hope he stays as he is so antagonistic.

I read that 'Ant' was told by producers to stop refering to the ex police officer as 'Cuntstable'.

Esther Rantzen thinks she's running 'Child-line' and treating everyone like a kid,

but over all, i'd like to see Timmy win.

They do certainly manage to pick the dregs don' they??

I find it interesting that for years they have tried to get 'Jean jaques Burnel' and 'Hugh Cornwell' of 'The Stranglers' on there. Obviously, they laughed at such a notion but it would certainly have been interesting.

Look at previous winners??

Kerry bankrupt benifit Katona?? For one.

i think the very one who made me vomit the most was 'Paul burrell'.

I only watch it just because it is so cringingly bad.

Reality TV is grabbing me! Watched 'Benefit busters' last night on Channel 4. It is filming a new Jobseekers scheme in Doncaster which targets helping people back to work like single mothers who have been on the dole for over a decade, find it hard to imagine but it does...amongst others. Last night was about single mothers. The woman who is running the course i take my hat off to her she made seem harsh to them but she does care and is trying to help them but some of them are beyond help in there care free attitude....it is a fault in the lifestyle one of them lead...although she had been on benefits for around a decade at least she still had time to run up debts with catalouges and Sky Televison. What a wally! she was living beyond her means if u can't afford it then don't do it! But a lot of people would rather live beyond there means so it seems. She was offered a job but turned it down cos the wages were low and the hours long, fair enough but it doesn't look good when this happens at a place where u are supposed to take what u are given. She wouldn't listen to anyones' advice and was crying and being shocked into submission would have done her good. I know it isn't always easy finding work i am out of work at the moment but even if you don't find anything u are suppose to convince the job centre that u are looking for work and a least try. Some of these single mothers would rather not even try i am not sayin that is the majority but some have got into this chav scrote lifestyle of watching TV and drinking lots of alcohol etc. The amount of benefits they get is too high and is fuelling there drinking and alcohol and in unfortunate ways it is so high that they wouldn't be paid more working when there is rent to pay instead of this being covered by housing benefit.
