    we're not upset about it we're having fun slagging it off. I mean we did/do pay for it to be made so we might as well get some entertainment out of it.

    That SAS thing they're doing is crap as well.

    Agreed - it's nothing more than a thinly veiled recruitment by the MoD. (In fact, when it comes to the history of the founding of the SAS, the truth is a lot stranger than fiction.)

    As you seem to have it in for the BBC - what do you think of 'The English'? Or is it not something you would watch?

    Not seen any of 'The English' so I don't know. I wasn't even aware of it.

    Only thing I bother with on TV at the moment is "Britannia" on Sky Atlantic. Savage, strange, sometimes funny, and wonderfully incongruous soundtrack by folk such as Donovan (Hurdy Gurdy Man, Barabajagal, Season of the Witch), Humble Pie (I'm Ready), and numerous other selections from David Gilmour, Cream, Fairport Convention.

    Not everyone's cup of tea, but way preferable to all the reality TV cack, and the real reality content of shows such as Sky News (depressing beyond belief, with zero comedy and no happy ending in sight).

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Well that makes it alright then. If Emily was on 'Strictly', I'd probably give it a watch

    I don’t mind it simply because I have a young daughter who loves it, it makes me happy seeing that she’s happy when she watches it. A simple pleasure!
