Just wondering what your favourite programmes are

Mine: The Bill, One Foot in the grave, vicar of dib, my family, HIGNFY. I don't watch much TV, if someone said pay for more TV, or better internet - I'd go internet
:thumbsup:

I love all the classic British comedies like Fawlty Towers, Hi De Hi etc, and IMO John Cleese is GOD of true old school British comedy talent...

I also like some of the soaps, especially Neighbours for a few of the gorgeous women, and I also watch The Bill, which although technically isn't a soap, it's a lot like one.

Horizon - BBC2
Used to be consistently excellent but gone a bit trashy now it's co-produced by Discovery channel.
Listen to radio more than I watch TV nowadays.

little britain:thumbsup:

I have to admit to being a bit of a soap addict!! I only watch Corrie and Stenders though, none of your Aussie crap!!

I like a good documentary also.

There is a really good quiz/bain teaser show on BBC3 but I can't remember what it's called. The two panels are set puzzles/tasks to solve and some of them are really difficult (or maybe I'm just thick!!)

Have to admit being a bit of a BB addict this year too. (hangs head in shame!)

FetishFairy, I used to watch Home and Away!!!
:thumbsup:

I'm waiting to see if Chris Morris is gonna do anything else.
There's a few things out there that he could explore at the minute I'm sure...

Cant miss Top Gear though...

Little Britain is ace :D

Me too, last time I watched it though was when Isla Fisher was still in it as Shannon... She is SO hot! I would anyway that's a cert ;)

Family Guy
Star Trek

Anything Chris Morris or Steve Coogan related!

What I watch most regularly is Simpsons, but its on all the time.

Also watch University Challenge, Little Britain, Family Guy (bring it back please, Sky).
Some documentaries are okay, like Arena and Timewatch and Days that shook the World. Horizon used to be good, but is really dumbed down now.

Apart from that just the odd films and sports events.

Copuling was good but they've done it to death now.

gotta be the Simpsons and Have i got news for you!:thumbsup:

I just love CSI, but when i watch it i get the hubby in the background going, we've been their, seen that, been in that, that all because we got married in Las Vegas..

Against all better judgement i'd have to say my favourite show was Neighbours. I hate missing it.

Hey, nowt wrong with Neighbours.... It's babe heaven! :D

You got Lori, Steph, Libby, Michelle, and even Mrs K and Mrs Scully, seriously if I was 20 years older and lived in Australia I would so hunt for a woman like Lyn Scully, she's seriously gorgeous and fit for her age (early 50s apparently).... There's not many women her age can look THAT good in a short skirt or even a dressing gown ;)

Sorry, I'll shut up now.

I love how disposable Neighbours is. One week you can have a huge story line and the next they move straight on without evening attempting to excuse it. Harold fell off a cliff and turned up 3 years later and nobody mentions it, you'd think they'd joke about it in passing or something. :)

Chris.

Little Britain is ace



yehbutnobutyehbutnobutyehbut anywayits fabalous:thumbsup:

What is eveybodies favourite TV programme?

Got to be Scrapheap Challenge - kind of reminds me of The Great Egg Race, and doing Technology class at school :P

League of Gentlemen

Same as it always has been:

Monty Python's Flying Circus

Wilf

I got to agree with you on that one Wilf, and I am old enough to remember when it was due to come on my mother telling me "that muck isn't wasting our electricity" exit me on way to pub......I often wonder if it was her way of getting me to go for a pint....lol.

owdlad.

Monty Python for me also. They should show reruns on the BBC!

http://www.montypythonpages.com/index1.htm

New For You is pretty good. British telly is deteriorating, IMO.

Also, watch The Bill and Home And Away every now and then!

Alex

Highlights for me over the years:

Only Fools and Horses
Red Dwarf
The Crystal Maze
This Life
X-Files
Midnight Caller
Father Ted

Apart from this most TV these days is drivel.

Globe Trekker.

Preferably with Ian Wright or Megan McCormmick.

The series entitled Meeting the Stans, where a traveller visited Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgistan, Tjekistan and Turkmenistan.

MTV unplugged sets. I saw the Nirvanan set again last night and it was awesome.

The series 'holidays in the danger zone' was eye opeing. A traveller visited Benin, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leonne to see how the countries were recovering from the tyranny of Charles Taylor.

The Blackadder series has yet to be beaten for me..

Little Britain
Have I got News for you (specially with Boris Johnson)
They think its all over
Question of Sport
That thing that was on recently about the Falkirk Wheel

Fawlty Towers.

Classic British comedy at its very best... John Cleese should be knighted IMMEDIATELY, he is the absolute GOD of old school British slapstick comedy.

The one tv show i never ever miss is CSI, i prefer the las vegas one to the one set in miami though.

Porridge for me, I can watch them again and again.

Interesting that most of the posts seem to refer to comedy shows. Wish they'd make a few more in the league of Blackadder, Father Ted, etc...

This is a tough one!

I'd have to give a few highlights over the years....I guess that these have been the closest I've come to 'appointment TV', where I'd settle down to watch.

The X Files
Star Trek : Deep Space Nine
Father Ted
Blackadder (Series 3 and 4 especially)
The Avengers
The Prisoner
'Allo 'Allo
The Singing Detective
The Edge of Darkness

From the sublime to the ridiculous viw the down right terrifying!

I remember when Sky Mangel was just a little baby on Neighbours - how scary is that?!! How the years fly by!

Just a select few - this list would probably change every time I thought about it:

Firefly
The Avengers
Thirtysomething
Northern Exposure
This Life
Married with Children
Star Trek: Voyager and Deep Space Nine
Father Ted

And dare I mention Families - so bad it was brilliant :D

At the moment I find I can hardly take my eyes off

The X Factor

The X Factor

And can you see past the fact that X Factor is a complete rip off of Pop Idol?

Even Simon Cowell has said so.

As I started a thread about the worst TV shows (and made some controversial choices) here's my list of the best ones.

In no particular order....

Star Trek TNG / Voyager

Midnight Caller (I'd forgotten this was so good till someone mentioned it!)

Big Brother (I know its fashionable to hate it, but as I have my own mind, I still love it)

Ny-Lon (So great I can't tell you!)

Friends

Wife Swap

Salvage Squad

The Osbournes

Do Over (The theme tune alone makes it great)

I'm A Celebrity....

Hells Kitchen

Faking It

Would Like To Meet (It's even funnier than Trisha!)

Fantassy Island (surely it's time someone over here bought the rights to show the new version?)


You'll note that except for Star Trek (which plays first on SKY anyway) none of the above are from the BBC.

Exactly why do we pay a licence fee?????

OK, OK, Don't write in and tell me!

I know would like to meet is on BBC2!!!!
:rolleyes:

Fav Comedies: My Family / 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps...
(Hope thats right i always get it wrong lol usually call it the lager and crisps thing :lol: )

Fav Soap: Corrie / Fav Cartoon: The Simpsons

Fav Drama: Cutting It / Bad Girls

Entertainment: Ant & Dec Saturday night take away (when its on) / CD UK

Little Britain

Bo Selecta!
