Never seen it. I try to avoid programmes which go on and on....I like a resolution as it means there will be a proper story line where the author knows where he is going. Probably means I miss some good stuff. Was surprised to read that it has only a small audience for such a hit show....apparently more people watch Countryfile than GOT....which makes it more of a cult show.
GoT is the most pirated TV show so viewing figures will be heavily skewed. I think the figures were approx. 14 million illegal downloads for the season 5 final episode alone. Plus the 8 million average viewers in the US plus UK figures. I would never watch an episode of countryfile, I guess if you ask regular viewers of it they may say the same about GoT... Much different audiences
It's strange, but I couldn't save a series and watch it. I set the recorder, but I delete it if I haven't watched it by the time I have 4-5 episodes. Did this with Homeland and the last series of Suits for example. Guess we all have our little ways
Don't kid yourself. I managed to get through one and three quarter episodes before I gave up. Absolute drivel. My opinion only, of course.
If I was to do a review of an episode of GoT I would end it with Not Recommended. So, if you were in any way curious, use my wasted couple of hours and save them for yourself. Of course, it's just my opinion [one has to put that].
BTW. I'm the one with the Bishop's Finger. All alc5.4% by volume of it. Very nice right at this moment. A couple of weekends ago I was in a pub with the Ramblers and they had Bishop's Tipple on draught. Now that's a heck of a pint. To be honest, it's a bit dangerous.
Can you add me as a member, got confused just seeing the trailers. Did mean to watch but always seemed to clash with more interesting programs - 're-runs of the bill, party political broadcasts, adverts, loose women, great canal journeys etc. Ps. I will bring the haribo
Happy Star Wars day everyone ! I Just had a Wookie burger , tasted nice , but it was a bit Chewy............
Being able to watch TV you like is easy these days, I just record everything. It means instead of sitting through a lot of crap I can watch what I like whenever. I don't watch a huge amount of tv, I am just very selective in what I watch.
Very much the same for me, though I hardly bother to record. There's so many facilities to retro-watch that there's no point. I have two HDD-DVD recorders that sit idle 99.9% of the time. All they've done in the past 6 months is tell me the time and look impressive sat side by side on their shelf. I don't even have a TV aerial or dish [I do have a dish system, but it's in the cupboard unused]. 100% of my TV is via the internet through a PC onto a big screen non-smart Samsung. I've given up on smart TVs. They're just not fast enough for my purposes. A decent PC and dumb TV are way better for me. Like you did though, I'm thinking of a 4K TV. If there is a non-smart one I'll probably get that. The present TV also doubles as a bloody good, massive, computer monitor.
As my grandson started school, last September, at the ripe old age of 4 years 1 month, I was interested to see the latest uproar being made over SAT tests. Two questions that are typical (apparently) for a SAT test, for children aged 6 & 7, are as follows. 1) Identify the three nouns, in the following sentence. A whale has a heart the size of a small car. 2) Amy has planted four rows of carrots, with three carrots in each row. A rabbit has eaten two of the carrots. How many carrots does Amy still have? Question two just seems, to me, to be a little complex for 6 year olds, especially if they aren't yet fluent readers. I can actually picture my grandson saying "Who's Amy?" Regarding the first question, I know adults that wouldn't get that right! I understand the importance of teaching grammar, but I do wonder if the teachers should be left to concentrate on ensuring the child can read and write at an acceptable level, before chasing grammar. And, for what it's worth, in all the job interviews I have sat through, being able to recognise adverbs, adjectives, nouns etc, never came up once, although being literate and numerate was, and still is, considered important.
