Personally, i would like to see another reality show.

I'd call it "celebrity dancers vs. mad chainsaw psycopath" :thumbsup:

A long term indulgent fantasy series.
I like Sf too but I'd rather see a stretched out something, Buffy was cool, Witchbalde was good till the telly ppl started messing about.
Wanted was good too - anyone remember that? I really wanted to have go.

Female Trampoleening in the rain. Mandatory uniform white vest top and large hooters.:thumbsup:
Now thats worth paying a license fee for.

Agree with wibbles and pinlock.
"I'm a celebrity and haven't been on the telly for a while meets the Sheffield chavs on tour", followed by the "Dolly Parton Trampoline Show".
How about Formula 1 in a less boring version - like if all the odd numbers had to go round the track in the opposite direction.
How to do up your house and then sell it - oh it's been done.
How to buy or sell things at auctions - oh it's been done.
How about 'The News' with only happy items and good things - nah.......

Its all utter rubbish, bring back the test card! Oh...and some pages from ceefax:thumbsup:

I will only watch the 5 regular channels when they start putting sitcoms on in prime time instead of crap soaps... American sitcoms though, no British s**t. I wana see Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, The Simpsons etc while eating my dinner or relaxing at night. Please ban soaps and reality shows.... please!

The only thing which would make me get another TV would be if Chris Evans, Chris Moyles, Steve Right, Johnathan Toss and that Whiny B'stard Mark Kermode were butchered live with a chainsaw

:clap:

U K history channel without every third programme being about soddin Hitler!!

More scripted drama.

More adventurous programming - what about a return to something like 'Play for Today' which could potentially give 50 playrights / script writers a year the chance to get their stuff on TV AND possibly launch a new series?

Less reality TV.

Less drama / 'comedy' based purely on 'shock value'.

Less Big Brother and I'm a Celebrity.....

The IQ of our country is falling!

(1) Croc attack live on Coronation Street!

(2) Eastenders swimming with shark attack.

(3) Emmerdale cast in worlds wildest police videos 79!

(4) Neighbours in Fallujah.

(5) Linda Barker in Space Oddessy (miles from earth)

1. The mini-series of Farscape so I can stop fretting.
2. A special channel where i could choose myself which repeats to watch
3. All the annoying one-minute celebrities on a show where they have to perform live with no electronic wizardry to help them out. . [mostly singers I know]
4. More things set in Sheffield as i just love trying to recognise various bits of the city
5. A show in which politicians have to answer direct questions and answer the question that they are asked.
6. Fox hunters being hunted

late night horrors as in 70s.
more dramas and plays too.

1. Totally with you on this one. Let's have more "Farscape". Also, another mini-series (or preferably full-length series) to finish "Firefly" off properly.

5. This will never happen in our lifetimes, nor anyone else's!

6. :thumbsup: Fantastic idea! I'd pay to see this!

Love the way you think, WALLBUILDER!

I think we will soon be seeing the arrival of "dumbed-down" TV, to fit in with today's modern audience.

Oh, I forgot - we have:

1) Big Brother
2) I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here
3) The X-Factor
4) Fame Academy
5) Strictly Come Dancing
6) Pop Idol
7) Popstars
8) The Farm
9) Shattered
10) The Salon

That's 10 programmes we can do without!!

I would like to see more entertainment - not in the "reality TV" format, but comedy programmes.

No please leave number five alone. I can fully appreciate it may not be everybodies cup of tea but at least in this the celebrities are having to work extremely hard and are hopefully aquiring a new skill.
Most of the other programs you have listed though create these clone like one minute wonders who think they are celebrities for the nano second there a household name [well some households]

I would like the BBC to reapeat all the Dr Who programs, all the Life On Earth programs (in fact anything Sir Dicky did), and St Elsewhere (though that might have been on the other side).

I want all copies of Last Of The Summer Wine burnt.

We need to get the TV execs in the US to pull their fingers from their collective arses and appreciate intelligent science fiction.

Both the Firefly and Farscape universes have potential to be as rich as the B5 and Star trek ones, and certainly have the potential to have 'grown up' stories - particularly Firefly. That bald bad guy in Firefly scared the crap out of me....

I get very annoyed with various series that I enjoy - Dark Skies, Farscape, Firefly, for example - failing to meet the viewing criteria of US TV viewers with an MTV attention span, and then getting ditched for some crap just re-hashes existing successes.

Grump.

Joe

More natural history....

There are hundreds of great wildlife on one programmes and they never seem to repeat them. They could stick a few more on BBC3 and BBC4.

I'm sick of seeing American rubbish (and adverts).

Science fiction stuff if good to.

far too many things to mention.... tv is awful lately... angel used to be good but i dont get channel 5 so ive lost out on that.

red dwarf and only fools and horses have run there course.

we need a new funny comedy.... my family was ok but apart from alan partridge and the office there is few laughs on tv.

adverts are better than programmes!!

some ads, eg the dancing citeron robot transformer thing - marvellous! and of course the singing cherry 3 mobile ads.

def need more good intelligent drama like the West Wing and Soprano's. Yes i know they are American but they are fantastic. I suppose we have Spooks.

Don't mention TV comedy.....

I had one of my scripts for a pilot show looked over by the BBC and was told that it was amusing but not laugh out loud.

I have frequently considered that as much current comedy is barely amusing, either I was WELL off the mark or dealing with an idiot.

I prefer to think I was dealing with an idiot :D

Don't let them repeat the Doctor Who episodes with Sylvester McCoy.

I keep trying to watch these on satellite TV at the weekend and they make me want to weep. Crap scripts, crap acting, loud and raucous....

Any other Doctor but this one.

But have one channel constantly devoted to showing all the Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and Peter Davison episodes!

Some of us old fans can remember William Hartnell, how come he's not in your list?

I've seen the occasional William Hartnell episode, and unfortunately I think they creak rather badly - sorry!

I admit that's pure pickiness om my part.

Would like to see anything on channel 5 - any idea why we don't get it in Sheffield (or in large parts of Sheffield)? Don't suppose I can blame the council for that one, can I?

Well may you run and hide, I'd throw my zimmerframe at you if i could pick it up!!!
Doctor Who was going downhill with Tom Baker, the storylines were getting ridiculous and the special effects weren't special and weren't very effective.The casting of Peter Davidson was the final nail in the coffin and although the program continued to rumble on some-one should of told it that it was dead and buried it.

GOOD COMEDY TO MAKE ME LAUGH THERE ISNT ENOUGH OF IT

GOOD GAME SHOWS AGAIN - REMEMBER SATURDAY NIGHTS GENERATION GAME / SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE LONDON PALLADUIM ETC

Now WALLBUILDER, you know that's fighting talk!

Everyone knows Tom Baker was by far and away the best Doctor - you're talking heresy here! Mr Baker is the DEFINITIVE Doctor, with most of the best episodes - "The Pyramids of Mars", "The Talons of Weng Chiang", "The Armageddon Factor" etc.

And Peter Davison is my second fave Doctor (ducks quickly - that zimmerframe came close!). Fantastic storylines and great sets - several of the best Dr Who stories were PD ones. "Castrovalva" is an absolute gem - ok, Adric was the worst assistant ever (apart from the truly awful Peri), but you can't have everything!

I'm sounding very sad, aren't I? :suspect:

StarSparkle :D

I would like to see fred Dibnah's steam engine on top of it. so it is crushed, shattered and broken. Because there is nothing worth watching. The only reason I still have one is so that people don't think I'm wierd

Originally posted by StarSparkle
!I'm sounding very sad, aren't I?:D
Yes, very sad indeed, everyone knows John Pertwee was possibly the best doctor though I think the first two had far better assistants. Tom Baker was okay but with the poor writing and the lack of money being spent on the programs he didn't stand a chance. I still cringe when thinking of those terrible special effects with the giant robot. Peter davidson....Hmmmmm, let me guess you thought he was 'dishy' and fancied him, sorry but there can't be any other reasons for liking him.

No, cheeky, I'm sad because I'm discussing Dr Who online - I think that officially makes me some sort of geek!

Oh what the heck, might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb and all that .... John Pertwee was a good Doctor, and Jo Grant and Sarah Jane were the best assistants, but some of the stories were pretty boring. I prefer far away and exotic planets .....

As for fancying Peter Davison ..... :gag: Give me some credit! I may be sad, but I'm not THAT sad! :nono:

The best assistants were most definitly not Joe grant and Sarah Jane, two girls who couldn't do as they were told, walked into danger every time they were left alone and quite honestly completely brain dead when it came to avoiding danger. Speaking from experience I know that most girls aren't as dopy as those two were. I liked Barbara who was one of William hartnels lot and if we have to mention an up to date one then I choose Leyla? couldn't say why apart from the fact she had the best outfit.
K9? Put it in a car crusher and I'd be only to happy to press the button
