Diagnosis: Quality TV
Jacq just bought me the complete first series of Diagnosis Murder. Quality TV drama at it’s finest. I have 19 classy episodes of the Van Dyke family to watch in awe as they solve multiple cases in times that are only slightly slower than CSI (which let’s face it is pretty unrealistic anyway). Dr Mark [...]
1080
Finally got around to buying a HDMI cable for the PS3. The TV we have – Toshiba 37X3030D – gave a great picture (I thought) when playing games, and Casino Royale looked good. I’d see the images in HD in the shops and knew it would be better but this is gobsmackingly good. Ridge Racer [...]

TOTP2 on Dave
When we agreed with P that we would get Sky I was looking forward to the 24/7 news. As it turns out CNN is still a pile of junk but between Sky News (all that red gets old fast) and News 24 (noticed how many of their female presenters are blonde? Not that there is [...]

Blue Peter, the cat and the name
So the people running Blue Peter lied about the name of the cat. Regardless of all the other lies at the BBC this one really does take the proverbial biscuit doesn’t it? They have a new cat, they want a name for the cat so they ask the viewers of the program to name it. [...]

The car crash treat
I love the Derren Brown programmes and his last ‘Trick or Treat’ series was pretty good. This was a Trick. I reckon it’s actually the best Treat of the series.
Impressive cake
If the amount of money spent on TV advertising is falling it might not just because less people might be watching, it might also be that the ads are pretty crap. Unlike this one.

Tax and the BBC
I like the points made here about the BBC. That’s the people taking our money to pay huge salaries to people to create content which isn’t ours but which we paid for but they’ll talk about how great they are anyway. I’ve said it before – the licence fee does not exist any more – [...]

I saw the red.
During tea P switched channels. I was assaulted by the redness and noise of Red Nose Day for several seconds. Horrendous. And my aim for today was to avoid it all. Damn. Failed.
ITV Censorship
The film Uncle Buck is on and I just happened to glance at it. It’s a great film and I’ve seen it many times. When Buck goes to the school there is a scene with his niece Maisie. She is sat in the classroom and when she answers a question the young male teacher brandishes [...]
