Xann Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 John Craven's Newsround just finished on BBC4. Blue Peter and Grange Hill now. Newsround was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Grange Hill got a bit dark. Zammo indulging in his dirty little habit at the expense of kind, naive and overweight Roland. Then there were two girls wandering the night time streets after a secret night out went sour. One of the girls had a domineering, control freak for a father. That got tense. Solid 7 Giving Newsround a 9 Many comedy moments. Two that stand out: the feature on toys that could burn and poison children and John Craven's reaction after watching a colleague consume a still wrapped sandwich. Blue Peter can have 6.5 Health and safety issues again. Children clambering over a rickety, clearly unsafe, fabric covered and soon to be burned effigy of a boat, accompanied by eccentric, beardy weirdies tugging on Woodbines. Another plus was (much like Agnetha Faltskog in the other thread) I probably fancied Lesley Judd before properly understanding the concept of fancying. There are minus points. The Petra 12th birthday celebrations were a tad mawkish, you were left with the uneasy feeling she was unlikely to see 13. Also my cousin once told me John Noakes treated Shep better than Mrs Noakes. So points lost there John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Talking about Blue Peter, does anyone want a Christmas present? Yes, it's Margaret Thatcher explaining the difference between good Khmer Rouge and bad Khmer Rouge to the nation's children: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted December 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) From the posts earlier in the thread, I'm possibly in the minority* but having finally caught up with the ending of Fargo, I have to say I loved it. I know people like an amount of exposition (Basil or otherwise) but I loved the fact that it didn't feel the need to explain itself and tie everything up in a nice neat bow. Definitely one of my favourite shows for a long while. Edited December 22, 2015 by choffer *Clearly I'm not in the minority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're not alone in that thinking - as I stated earlier in the thread I thought it was a perfect ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a terrible character though. Never been a huge fan of TWD but watch it as my other half likes it but even she is getting to the point where she thinks its lost its way. The one point I cannot get over (Glenn being a prime example) is that they have survived this long by behaving a certain way and taking precautions but then all of a sudden they behave completely out of character and get got. Homeland was just outstanding TV, I have had to find a copy of the last episode because I cannot wait until sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Never liked Blue Peter. Always just seemed like more school. Someone I used to work with told me his Mother didn't used to let him watch Grange Hill, because it was too common. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the bit in party conversations when people spend 30 minutes reminiscing about childhood cartoons, I've never seen any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only watched two episodes so far but it's unbelievably gripping. Have to keep reminding myself that it's actually real! The poor guy. Was inspired to find something similar after watching the brilliant (maybe the wrong word, given the events) West of Memphis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Really enjoying the third season of The Bridge. As good as the first season, I was wondeirng how it would go without Martin, but Hendrik has been a great replacement. 1 episode to go. Not sure they can put Saga through any more so I wonder if this is the final season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without any spoilers, the ending is absolutely set up for another series - despite the fact that they have said there probably won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 aye, I had to watch the final one last night after a binge run, and agreed, very tense ending, one which makes me think there could have been a powerful conversation with Martin in jail had he signed on, but no matter. Hendrik won me over. And you're right, definitely keeps the door open for another season, even if it's not for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
