TV Times

[Legohead]

It's harmless light entertainment. Minor slebs hoping to secure future employment and become less "B-list" and a TV company humiliating them in the process. The people who join up are no lesser celebrities than those on the dancing, singing, cooking show dross on telly ad nauseam. If you don't like it switch over.

I don't like it and don't watch it Billy. The kid does though but I take umbrage at the producers claiming these people are celebrities when they aren't. How can the unknown son of Martin Kemp be a celebrity? How can Jamie Vardy's wife who was in it last year be a celebrity?

I think they should have a spin off show called, I'm Related to a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

I know what you're saying Lego, I don't watch these things either, and often I have no idea who the sleb is. But I don't care. If Vardy's missus earned a few bob by getting on telly and the public saw her squealing at a spider so be it, all I'm saying is while she's doing it I'm reading my book.

Half way through season 4 of The Man In The High Castle and it is getting really good, This is the final season so I'm hoping the ending won't leave me in limbo like others do.

Just finished the whole series, Jeez it was awesome, If anyone has Amazon Prime and likes the stories about an alternate world where we lost WW2 this is for you, Very well made and acted, Amazon and Netflix do throw some money at these programmes

Vienna Blood on BBC2. Somewhere between Sherlock (except the doctor is the clever but socially reticient one) and Ripper Street set in early 20th century Vienna.

Ken Burns documentary on Country Music is excellent.

*Hants.That would be a nice trip for you if it’s still running *

I'll add it to the list! The Khyber Pass is now closed.

There's a City fan travelling across Australia on a 3 day trip, which has peaked my interest. Especially as Michael Palin recently covered that trip.

There were some good dramas set in WW2 during the 1970s..Danger UXB,Colditz,The Pathfinders & Secret Army.
Colditz was excellent lots of the episodes were loosely based on real events.

Remember Mum used to be gripped by Secret Army, I think it was where they got the idea for Allo Allo from.

Remember Mum used to be gripped by Secret Army, I think it was where they got the idea for Allo Allo from.

It was fairly popular back in the day.
I expect in that 3 TV Channel era,10-12m viewers would have been the norm.
