The book was written in 1953 and its powerful stuff. I read it years ago and enjoyed it a lot.Quote:

Looking forward to watching this on CH5 at 10pm tomorrow night, and seeing the type of saddos who get their 'kicks' behaving that way receive their very well-deserved comeuppance! Especially watching them squirm when they've been exposed, and are confronted face-to-face with their victims... :eyebrows:
It's primarily directed at the on-line abuse celebrities are subjected to on social media, but I'm sure that some of us here have experienced such on-line abuse (or worse) from other sources, and thus can relate to what's being reported, and one day we too can look forward to confronting our trolls! ;)
Don't miss it folks!! :cool:
Watch the trailer here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/c...e-face-8642846
Marco.
Surprised that there's no interest in this upcoming programme, given the nature of its content! ;)
Marco.
Did you have anyone in particular in mind?
Mmm... Not sure, did anyone particular pop into your head? :hmm:
Marco.
Yes - but Forum rules prohibit me from naming them. ;)
might catch it..... you on it?;)
Watching it now... Will comment later ;)
Marco.
Watching it on + 1

Its really good, end of first episode was a real jaw dropper.
Thanks for the reccy Neil, will be checking out the book too.
New season of Dr Who. I have my fingers crossed they produce a quality season, instead of the poor drivel it mostly has been.
New trailer got me pretty excited as the original Mondasian Cyber men are back, not the awful parallel earth created ones. Ice Warriors are also back.
Anyway fingers crossed there is some quality here, Peter Capaldi's last series and Mr Moffat is leaving too :rave: Thought he made a right mess of this at times.
I gave up on it a while back. Some of the David Tennant stories were quite good, but now it is as bad as it was when they cancelled it the last time.
Yep, I've given up with Dr Who as well. Think it has run its course IMO.
Just watched an episode of this on TV, and found it freaking hilarious: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p050hr6t
Macca, you'd love the 'retro vibe', sales theme and 80s values! :D
Marco.
Will give it a go.
Cool. Let us know what you think :)
Marco.
Have you watched any of it yet? :cool:
Marco.
:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

White Gold was brilliant! whole series (5 episodes) available on iPlayer, loved the 80s vibe, soundtrack was ace, language was a bit much in places but well worth a watch.
LOL just got to this. There are too many posts to read these days. No not watched it yet. Will try to remember.Quote:

Good, isn't it, Colin? Like you say, the soundtrack is SUPERB (almost worth watching for alone)! I do like the rather 'laddish' sense of humour, though... :eyebrows:Quote:

Shame as it had a lot of potential.
I sympathise with that view Ben, as I know exactly where you're coming from.
However, for me the sales-orientated theme, depicting salesmen in a way I can relate to (being one myself), and the 'laddish' humour, cool 80s vibe, not to mention the superb soundtrack, were enough for me to make it entertaining viewing :cool:
Marco.
If you're an 80s boy, like me, then chances are you'll love DM... Well, if you tune into Sky Arts HD tonight (CH 122) at 7pm you'll see them perform live in Berlin.

Should be especially good if you watch the show on a quality home-cinema system [count me in] and crank up the sound - can't wait! :cool:
Marco.
Nope. Distracted by my new telly and being able to watch DVDs again for the first time in 3 years. I need to get one of those firestick things so can watch Prime on the big screen instead of the 10'' laptop.Quote:

Lol... Wot's that got to do with the price of mince? White Gold was on BBC2.Quote:

Yes it is connected to the internet. No idea what protocols it uses.
If you liked Narcos check this lot out. Subtitled but worth it. The first link is actually a lot better than Narcos IMHO.
Check out "Pablo Escobar, el patrón del mal" on Netflix
www.netflix.com/title/80035684?source=android
Check out "El Chapo" on Netflix
www.netflix.com/title/80133042?source=android
Check out "El Capo - El Amo del Tunel" on Netflix
www.netflix.com/title/80163048?source=android
Peaky Blinders season 4 in October? Also outstanding.
Check out "Peaky Blinders" on Netflix

yup. a lot more... probably not worth extra unless you use it a lot. but it is much snappier as it has a great processor inQuote:

If you all get a chance to check out the Storyville series of documentaries please do on BBC4 or i player
Ive just watched THE WORK : FOUR DAYS TO REDEMPTION...Folsom Prison and it was riveting viewing that really moved me.
Whatever you make of it these documentaries are always carefully filmed and superbly edited with no commentary to get in the way. Beautifully produces in a way that you feel involved and compelled by the story.
They did a great programme about James Foley and Sonita Alizadeh which were also very moving indeed.
Television at its very best and I just thought I would mention it.
Best Wishes
Martin
If you want something entertaining to watch shortly, 'Yes Man' movie is on ITV2 at 5.45.
Yes, I know it's a Jim Carrey film, but at least this one is not over the top daftness or crass and Zooey Deschanel is charming. I saw this for the first time a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it. Good fun!
A movie for the more discerning amongst you. At 11.00pm today on Horror Channel, 'Nude Nuns with Big Guns'! :)
