[Humour] The Big Night In

[rippleman]

Just noticed the BBC have put the entire 10 series of "Spooks " up on iplayer...!

Love Spooks. Hate iplayer.

Compared to the other catch-up / on demand services (eg All4 itvHub etc) it is painfully slow. Why not just re-run Spooks on the gogglebox instead of neverending news programmes and gloomy coronavirus "specials" and crappy telephons?

A point of order. You are not forced to watch it. If you don't like it go down the pub instead

My bad apologies didn't quote you properly . Meant people who watched the programmes you quoted

I see no worries

 

[Simster]

Is there really not going to be a feature-length episode of everyone's favourite Mrs Brown's Boys as the hilarious pièce de résistance of the whole event?

I'll be filing a complaint if they've missed this out - it's precisely what the country needs to lift our collective spirits.

I'm also praying there is a hilarious covid-related skit from everyone at Albert Square and maybe a humorous cameo from the Strictly judges.

...they're really struggling in this time. They need our help.

Enough about the viewers, but what about the NHS?

I hear they're doing a socially distanced conga round the square dressed up in the theme of 1920's circus.

Maybe Bruno Tonilio in a gown and mask standing on his chair and shrieking “That was truly mesmerising! Your tango was like watching a raging bull with the huge horn! Tess, I can barely breathe - put me on a ventilator!!“

Something like that.

I find iplayer fine here, I struggle with C4 and ITV hub as sometimes I can't get the subtitles and I'm a bit mutt and jeff… Mrs V has the hearing of a Mouse and can't stand anything too loud. Asfor the re-runs of Spooks, since it was made the world has shifted immeasurably, " Boxed Sets " ( an absolutely ludicrous description ) are the online viewing of choice, even in lockdown if the BBC played Spooks Monday to Friday at 9 pm there would be howls of compliant. Easier to put it up there and let people take as much or as little as they want.

As usual for this type of thing I shall ignore and then head out for my run just in time to be heading up our road at 8pm
to experience marathon running and milk the applause.

The Foo Fighters cover is actually alright, tbh.

Fair play to the BBC for finding so many pop stars when they (along with Now CDs) are on a mission to destroy British pop music & banish white people from the airways. Obviously their plans for white genocide have taken a back seat.

Anything with the unfunny Lenny Henry in will definitely be OFF in this house....will spend the evening in the garden ..

News readers doing the Covid dance.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Laura Marling 'in concert' at home.... 8pm.

Or Lenny and the gang......

One out of two so far [emoji106]

And that's bingo! [emoji38]

Just turned over to discover that Colin Baker has a full set of Morse novels on his bookshelf. Anything else interesting happened?

It's not been too bad so far. The Catherine Tate / David Tennant thing was good, the sporting challenge was entertaining. Amarillo was good although quite sad when you realise how many of the celebrities in the original are dead now - Ronnie Corbett, Jim Bowen ,Geoffrey from Rainbow to name but three.

 

[Sirnormangall]

I laughed a lot - but I laugh a lot at many things and I’ve had a bottle of red and a couple of beers.

It was a bit cringe, but I laughed at Sam Quek doing the sport challenge and falling over. Mrs Earle got all emotional over the disabled kids which cost me £30 for a text which is £60 in the pot. If I'd waited 5 minutes, I could have got 3 chances in the Morgan prize car draw for the same money

Care to name a pub opened at present ?

Thought it was actually quite good
