    It's ****ing ****.

    The X-Factor, Big Brother, Soap Operas, Britain's Got Talent and now even the football coverage is becoming dumbed down **** for morons. MOTD needs new and frankly younger presenters, Sky Sports have the most boring presenters ever and even the guests they have on are dull as dishwater.

    I say throw away your 'precious box' and read a good book...<ok>

    It's because humans have evolved to the point where we have the highest mental capacity that is physically possible so the only way is down from here :(

    I can't watch anything on a commercial channel - adverts drive me ****ing barmy! <grr>...

    On the plus side, I thought 'Luther' was pretty good as far as original police drama goes.

    & Luther is no more <ok>

    There are some decent shows out there, you need a box with recording ability ideally.

    I record anything that looks quite decent and watch it in bed, if its **** I can just delete and move to the next one on the hard drive, if its good you can just record the whole series.....can also fastforward through all the ****ing adverts too.

    Downside of not watching adverts is that I was unaware of Luther until the third from last episode <doh>

    May get the DVD soon

    A great song to listen to. The video is home-made but quite effective all the same.

    Well worth a listen if you've got 8 mins to spare.

    Yep, Tv is ****. I only turn it on when football is on or repeats of Minder. Otherwise, I read.

    bhoy from brum,get luther superb .like you didnt really see it till the second series ,so im going catch up on it when got time but luther was superb dirty currupt git of a copper but bloddy good acting i really enjoyed it.I watched it being filmed in liverpool street i came into my work and their was about 5 trucks lined up with cables and coffee vans.I said whats going on-they replied filming bbc luther ,their was about 50 odd people mingling around with camera guys filming,from what i saw it looked like a bird getting into the porche scene.I took a photo on my phone would download it on here but not technical.its a shame they ended the series with no follow up weird ending though in moorgate

    Too many cop drama's with male lead roles apparently, a few others have finished too recently.

    Spooks is also ending this autumn & thats a good show - only started watching that a few years back too

    We only use 10% of our brain capacity so that's bollocks, pal.

    (Although it's very clear that people who enjoy the programming on Channel 5 use even less).

    Moan Moan Moan Moan Moan. Stop moaning. Next you'll be saying that you didn't even get a guarantee with your television set that you bought in that fire sale in Tottenham a couple of weeks ago.
