Fantastic - thanks for the heads up!

Plus the new Aaron Sorkin series starts tonight. Epic.

Anyone see 'Lifers' last night on C4? Notable for a welsh bloke who was in for kicking and punching someone for 90 minutes (!!) which oddly enough led to their death. If you saw him in the street you'd barely notice him but the things he said were spine chilling. Firstly, he said he didn't know why he did it. Secondly, he the said he didn't regret it as without it happening he wouldn't have obtained qualifications in Maths, English and Biology. What a terrifying thought process.

Has anybody watched Veep?

Is that the Armando Arnucci thing? If so, no.

I'm hearing that "Boss" is supposedly very good. Kelsey Grammar as Mayor of Chicago diagnosed with a degenerative brain condition.

 

[PabloWolfo]

I've seen 2 episodes, and it looks pretty good.

My favourite episode of Bottom is the Christmas special.

'Look we've got Gold, Frankenstein and Grrrrrr!'

'And I'm a virgin!!!!'

I thought Bottom was class when I was a teenager - was a bit disappointed when I saw it again a few years back

Cooking in Prisons. Alan Partridge Channel 4 nicked your idea.

It is - I loved The Thick Of It.

Also Frasier...can anything be as good?

How many episodes of Homeland SE01 were there? I've found 12 but IMDb have it at 16.

 

[Nando]

I watched 12....

 

[Boozad]

Sound, I'll get them all then. Perhaps IMDb was taking SE02 into account.

 

[The Bear]

Homeland is great. Really interesting and involving. Clare Danes is fantastic in it, and I always seem to like Mandy Patinkin (apart from Princess Bride).

What was special about yesterday's date?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

What was special about yesterday's date?

According to my girlfriend we'd been going out 3 years.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Possibly, but I don't think that is TV related.

 

[Langers]

It was supposed to be something to do with Back to the Future. But they got it wrong.

 

[PabloWolfo]

In the film it was 2015, apparently.
