In an effort to bring some new subject matter to the fore (cos lots of people said they wanted more threads though I haven't seen them since!). I bring to you "What are you watching!". A brief round up of what you all think is hot or grot on the tube. Please don't try to be clever by saying " I don't watch TV, but there's a terribly good retrospective on in Drury at the moment!". It won't wash. Oh! Mine? Well,
1, Capital 2, Fargo 3, The Bridge (who doesn't love Saga?) 4, The Detectorists. Nothing too terribly terribly but entertainment none the less. -------------------- Gammon. And proud!

I probably spend more time on YouTube than TV. I tend to start watching series, but then lose interest or start forgetting it is on: Peaky Blinders is an example of that. My last must see was the Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes stuff.

I think I’ve weaned myself off any regular telly watching. Years of having teenage kids who monopolised the viewing or hid the remote to prevent anything other than dire X Fuctor/Celebrity Car Washing/Strictly Mind Numbing has lead me to prefer to retreat to the Man Cave, drag out the vinyl and listen to The Jam rather than put my body through it again.
I have however enjoyed watching The Last Kingdom series on BBC2 (which has the bonus of no adverts). Historical nonsense probably, but blood and guts and Vikings which has kept me entertained. Some of the popular TV series of recent years had such convoluted plots that they started to disappear up their alimentaries and were trying to be a bit too clever for the likes of me..... My wife watched them.... “24” “Lost” “Homeland” “Under The Dome” The last series I watched on the telly that made sense was the Rugby World Cup

I must admit, I don't make any real effort to watch anything. It's really become rather like the car radio, simply 'background' to drown out any other noise. I suppose news programmes coincide with meal times, but I'd be just as happy with the wireless.

Wireless? What in bealzebubs name is a wireless? Is that the thing with the cats whisker and Chrystal? Dear heavens, Marconi will be spinning in his grave!

Always minutely researched and superbly written. Good stuff. -------------------- Gammon. And proud!

This one made me think; for me, I'd say the TV is simply a habit, switched on when We get in, and off when we leave or go to bed; channel hopping when we sit and eat. I'm not sure that for us, the cost of the kit and the cost of the subscription is worth the money; but it impresses our friends!

I don't ever watch regular TV. I've just finished my first series though on Netflix. Homeland 1-4. I'm going to try Breaking Bad next. I fancy The Bridge too but my wife's not keen on the subtitles.
