It seems I'm alone in liking British TV drama - such as Spooks, DCI Banks, Silent Witness, Waking the Dead......... Also absolutely love British comedy - QI, Mock the Week, HIGNFY, Would I Lie to You and 8 Out of 10 Cats. I totally cannot watch any soaps or the so called reality shows - find them nauseating As for movies - am a sucker for the Bourne Trilogy, can watch them over and over. Also like Harrison Ford's Witness - still have disturbing dreams over Kelly McGillis' wash house scene!
BB - That might we worth a separate thread "Favourite Movie Scenes"...Some of mine In the Battle of Britain in the hotel room as the air-raid starts In Crocodile Dundee just before the heroine gets attacked by the crocodile and it bites her drinking bottle (you have to be quick with the pause button)
I don't know if anyone has seen the TV series Mad Men, but it's fantastic and I highly recommend it! I also like Mock the Week, QI, Would I Lie To You and the other programs like this. In terms of comedy series', I find the The IT Crowd hilarious
Do you mean Hurt Locker?? It was tipped for many oscars against Avatar. It was made by James Cameron's ex i believe.
Oh yes, the lovely bones (your last avi if i remember rightly)...a lovely and sad and beautifully acted film.
Oh yes! How could i forget Torchwood! Duh. And Rocky Horror i think i must have seen a gazillion times, and went to the 30th anniversary production ...though RO'B didn't like that production..and it certainly wasn't the best.
I also like QI, MTW, HIGNFY and Would I Lie to You - I just wish the Beeb would settle on a regular presenter for HIGNFY as I think that spoils it a bit.
Nrs N had a dvd last night "priest" was it about Judas ? No! total crap one to miss another vampire thing but done very badly!
Well spotted H - I loved that film and it has a song that has become a bit of a Trance classic as well..so I put the words on my signature as well.
Just downloading the 3 series of League of Gentlemen! Loved that programme, although got more and more bizarre Anyone see Pyschoville?
i loved the film too..it wasn't entirely true to the book, but then..what film is? Ooh i didn't notice the lyrics..darn it. How unobservant of me!
I've put the book on by Christmas List as I had not heard of it before. Song was called Song To The Siren - was written by Tim Buckley way back in the 70's, made famous by This Mortal Coil and turned into a Trance Classic - most recently Ferry included on his brilliant Olympia album. First verse goes... On the floating, shapeless oceans I did all my best to smile til your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving into your eyes. Well worth listening to the Ferry version - I am playing it on the iMac as i type....
Big bang theory and how i met your mother are my current favourites. Used to like spooks but this series has been Put on at a silly time for me
