Instead of being banished to the kitchen or bedroom to watch the footy, Mrs P has graciously allowed it on the main telly as there is (and I quote her here) f*&@ all else on! :lolol:

Used to think our TV wasn't much cop, then I lived in Australia for a few years and craved it..

I used to love The chasers war on everything. Do those guys still do anything on TV or have they burnt all their media bridges?

They are still going, still the best thing on offer. Last thing of note was called the hamster wheel.

I normally prefer to go and watch footy in another room, thus avoiding inane drivel about Corro, Eastenders or Towie between her and daughter

Ha.



This one had me cracking up first time I saw it.


Seem to remember an episode of the Chasers when they breached security at the APEC summit posing as Bin Laden, it was very good. The worse thing about Australian TV is their sports coverage, it takes country bias to a whole new level..

The more you travel around, the more you realise that UK TV is the best in the world. Americans produce some excellent shows but the adverts ruin nearly everything. I have found myself watching Mr. Bean, Eastenders and the Weakest Link on BBC entertainment because they are 100 times better than any shite on Kenyan TV.

Is it possible you were drawn to watching them due to the comfort that familiarity brings?

I've known people who travel to the USA with work still end up watching Eastenders, even though they hate it when here, just because it's a little like being home.

Of course, Kenyan TV could just be diabolical.

Wow....for once I agree with your comment! Seriously for the time I was out there the only thing I watched in it's entirety was 'Underbelly'. Tried watching cricket, but to break for adverts during an over made it impossible, do they still do it?

Bit of both I guess. It does feel strangely comforting watching Eastenders even though I know it is crap. Kenyan TV is amazingly bad, it looks like it is made on a camcorder from 1992 complete with inaudible fuzzy sound.
