  • I saw that. It was fandabbydozy ;thumbsup
  • Colchester - Totally agree about Strictly. Should be re-named Strictly Rubbish. Sadly, I am hooked on The Great British Bakeoff.

    Big Bang Theory is one of my favs at the moment
  • Worse programme is Celebrity Big Brother i have to leave the room when my missus watches it as it winds me up , a bunch of z listers acting like 5 year olds for weeks on end !!
  • For me, you still can't beat Dads Army for best TV programme.
    Best Film, the Green Mile

    Dad's Army...

    Strange one. My dad sits there laughing his head off, whilst I'm like ;hmm

    ;lol

    The Green Mile ;ok
  • Dad's Army...

    Strange one. My dad sits there laughing his head off, whilst I'm like ;hmm

    ;lol

    Me too.

    And now I'll be ;sofa in case lgh is around.
  • True Detective for me - one of the best things i've seen. I agree that the characters are flawed, and they should not be likeable, but you end up interested in the characterisation because of the flaws - also the scenery, the post Katrina southern Gothic thingy (?) going on. (Plus Woody Harrelsons' very attractive girlfriend in episode 1).
    Then 'The Wire' - again , Flawed character in McNulty, and the incredible Bunk, shooting a mouse with his service revolver whilst drunk ;lol
  • Luke and Mrs Grey - afraid I may have to banish you both to the back of the sofa, Dad's Army was, and is, simply hilarious, the charactorisations and timing are brilliant.

    Also wish to vote for anything that had Ronnie Barker in it,

    "Ark ark ark ark arker arker arker"

    "You'll never get that on the side of a van"

    ;lol
  • Open all Hours = Comedy gold
  • I am a bit strange and often go for acting performances rather than whether the film/series is good.

    I loved Lilli Taylor's performance of Rose in Dogfight (even though the film wasn't that brilliant.

    I enjoy just about anything with James Stewart

    One of my favourite all time acting performances was a brilliant portrayal by Bob Hoskins of C S Lewis in the original BBC Production of Shadowlands. Hoskins was magnificent and Anthony Hopkins portrayal has always been second best for me. Typical BBC that I cannot get this on DVD

    Another great performance for me was Janet Mcteer as Prue Sarn in the BBC production of Janet Webb's Precious Bane.
    Mcteer was simply wonderful in a great BBC film.
    Why this has never been released on DVD is a mystery to me.
    I love the book as well!

    Other favourites of mine:

    Malcolm in the Middle, Bagpuss (I have the DVD) and Mad Men.

  • Trond, your comment reminded me of Remains of the Day. Anthony Hopkins - what a performance. ;bowdown
  • Trond

    I too have bagpuss - and Ivor the engine !! ;biggrin
  • Mrs Grey
    Remains of the day. Great film, my wife and I loved it. So sad for old romantics like me who want a happy ending instead of unnecessary loneliness. Poor Emma Thompson!!!

    billy...After watching Remains of the Day I need to watch Bagpuss to restore the 'Feel Good Feeling'
  • trond, I prefer a happy ending myself! But what great acting! ;weep
  • Mrs Grey ;wave Happy endings and West Ham Supporters - Now there's a contradiction in terms ;biggrin

    Cant believe no one has mentioned........

    The Life of Brian ;lol

    Just so Funny and always will be ;clap
    ;ok and the holy grail.
  • Moulin Rouge is a very divisive film. I love it - very clever, very funny, very sad, very dark. Also the only film I've seen at the cinema that drew an audible collective gasp from the audience ("because she doesn't love you!", for those that know the film).
  • The only film I've seen at the cinema that drew a collective response was Johnny English, after destroying the police camera which caught him speeding.
  • Luke I am your father ! drew a gasp back in the 80's and the leg crossing scene in Basic Instinct in the 90's
  • Watched Cabaret again last night with Mrs E
  • West ham films?

    Ill kick us off,

    Les Miserables
  • The great escape
    #tevez
  • Fatal Attraction
  • And for BFS football tactics..............................Jurassic Park
  • Brilliant MadCap ;clap
  • Trond

    I too have bagpuss - and Ivor the engine !! ;biggrin
