I don't watch anything like BBC or ITV. Havnt for years.

Watch live sports and steam any series.
 
All these reality tv shows are painful. I purposely don’t watch them. Then there’s the soaps. I stopped watching them around 25 years ago. Unfortunately we have Home & Away on the telly as Mrs K likes it. It irritates the hell out of me though, especially the way the cops are portrayed as being great. They’re not and would be found out in a day at a proper cop shop for being incompetent, unprofessional and corrupt. They’re the only front line Aussie cops that don’t wear body armour or carry firearms or Taser.

Got married in 1988 and can honestly say neither myself nor my wife have watched any of the soaps.

Fittingly I'm down to Antiques Roadshow live, and watch mostly recorded re-runs on TV, Series 2 of Wolf Hall is currently being recorded in the hope that it is anywhere near as good as the first., which was a gem . Showing that all is not lost and that it still can still be done even to day with talent and effort.
 
I dont have satellite tv…. and I listen to the radio a lot, rather than putting tv on.
So, I’ve never been to Anfield, and listening to the bbc commentary yesterday, Murray says Liverpool are kicking towards the Cop he doesn’t say if that’s right to left or the other way round. I’ve a blind mate, who’s trying to visualise things….. is it me or is it just ****ing dogshit commentary from a dogshit company?
 
And did you catch your target?
That wasn’t the reason I was on. Crimewatch were staging a reenactment of an arrest in Wellingborough where I was stationed. They wanted a police car to drive away with flashing lights from the scene of an arrest. Presumably getting the viewing public to think the arrested lad was in the police car. I was the one driving the police car. The arrested person wasn’t in the car.
I’m available for personal appearances and signing autographs and talking about the event. Matt Damon is playing me in the film.
 
This thread has had me laughing outloud. You miserable owld gets <laugh><laugh>

I agree mind. TV hasnt been anygood for years. I reckon the last good show was The Krypton Factor tbh :emoticon-0102-bigsm. I assume people watch it all mind, they seem to keep coming back for season after season.

I have developed a habit I thought I wouldnt however. Youtube! Only Youtube golf though. I love my golf and my youngest got me into it. There are some really good golfers, below tour level, making some brilliant shows where they get top pros on for challenges and stuff. 5 shot lead type stuff. They talk you through the shots and round and it is really insightful. Some are quite amusing too. Quite niche, but better than celebrity ironing or whatever else is on.

For me proper tv is now Netflix, Prime, Sky etc. They are churning out the only original content anymore.

Anyway, off to remember the days when we had 3 channels and thought Channel 4 was the best thing since sliced bread :emoticon-0140-rofl:

I watch a lot of YouTube FellTop and I am also into my golf. Have you watched a channel called Ron Chopper Golf?

Ron Chopper is the comedic alter ego of a teaching pro from Cottesloe Golf Club, Western Australia called Matthew Heath. Heath was a first class cricketer and tournament pro until he got an injury.

As Ron Chopper, Heath takes a couple of cameramen with him, Joel and Davy Gravy, and visits some of the best courses in Australia with the intention of breaking par, or he will challenge Australian pro golfers and sports personalities to a round of golf. Some of the golf they play is brilliant (some not so), the banter is very funny and the scenery incredible.

TV for the brain dead.

If they have to think about the content, it's out of their league.

Big brother, love island, married at first sight, and the rest of the manufactured bollox to keep those with a low IQ content.

The only time I sit and watch television is when I stay at my Mams for a couple of days over Christmas each year and I feel like I'm losing IQ points watching the tripe served up these days, I watched a programme last Christmas about watching other people watch television, just mindless bilge.

Dumb people down and fill their soft heads with whatever sh!tty opinions you want them to have. The adverts are almost worse than the programmes.

I was walking behind two going to Asda a few months back. One girl looked about 19, was about 5' 2" and 18 stone and just scrolling on her phone.
The other looked about 6 stone dripping wet <laugh>

Yes mate, one of the channels I enjoy.
 
Got married in 1988 and can honestly say neither myself nor my wife have watched any of the soaps.

My wife dips in and out of Corrie over the years. The programme is basically a street full of people constantly making mind numbingly bizarre or wrong decisions. Always talking louder than necessary, blurting out secrets to eachother, always within earshot of the last person they would want to hear, who just so happens to be walking by at the wrong/right time. Just so they can kick on with the next stage of the storyline. The storylines a phenomenally bad and dragged out to a tortious length. Within these storylines they often try and draw your sympathy towards unlikeable characters who often in the past have behaved hideously. The fact is, when you lay them all out, they are all ****s.........except Roy.

Soap plot lines are being defeated by modern technology.

Where have you been all day, I’ve called 100 times.’

‘Sorry I’ve had my phone turned off.’


‘Ah right, I suspected you were having an affair but that explains it.’

I was at the police academy last week and got chatting to a few of the latest batch of British officers who made the move over here. They all said pretty much the same thing. The job is f&@ked and, from their perspective at least, the country is rapidly going downhill.
