This cant end well... With out Ronnie Barker it wont feel right/be funny

Talking of misguided programmes, did anyone watch Channel 4's Sexbox last night?



People went into a sound proof box...and then came out of the sound proof box and talked about the sex they'd apparently had in there. As bad, unintentionally funny programmes go this was right up there.

Just finished the first series of Luther.

So bloody good.

On BBC 2 now, Stephen Fry trolls homophobes. Worth a watch on Iplayer.

I take back everything bad I've said about the Labour party, this guy is clearly worse

Just seen an ad for a new Karl Pilkington show called The Moaning of Life which starts tonight.

Matt Berry's new show Toast of London on Channel 4 is very funny.

Lots of new shows starting on BBC at the moment.

Started with The Ambassadors last week (Mitchell and Webb play British Ambassador and his advisor in fictional central Asian country - Comedy/Drama) which I thought was fantastic. Ripper Street (grim police drama set in 19th century east London - Mystery/Drama) was on last night which I thought was decent enough and had a bit of Sherlock Holmes about it. The Escape Artist (David Tennant plays a defense attorney - Dark Drama) is on now and seems very good so fsr, only half an hour in and it's very tense and compelling.

It's unusual of me to get on the back of three dramas in quick succession particularly BBC ones but Ive had lots of free time in the past week and I must say they're all of a very high quality, if only in production values. Would encourage everyone to give at least one a go.

Does The Ambassadors exist in the same universe as The Thick of It?

Are there really only four episodes in season 2 of Luther? or is my bexset missing a disc?

Epguides is a useful site for that kind of thing.

Ambassadors was great! Really enjoyed it, full of hot women too.

Oh sugar did I miss Ambassadors? My sort-of sister-in-law worked as a make up artist on that.

Borgen returns to BBC4 for its final series on Saturday 16th Nov. 2 episodes every Saturday.

Had no idea Misfits was back. Final series as well, good thing really - all of the original cast have long since left.

The excellent Fresh Meat returned last night. Haven't seen the first episode yet but the first two series were fantastic

Danny Dyer was on Celebrity Juice last night, and he's on 8 out of 10 Cats tonight.

Both are repeated, with 8 out of 10 Cats Uncut on Tuesday.

You really have to catch the Celebrity Juice episode, as it was hilarious, especially the last sketch in the pub.

I've just put +1 on and he's not there. Late cancellation?

Ripper Street cancelled - http://www.deadline.com/2013/12/ripper- ... rop-in-uk/

The 8 Out Of 10 Cats regulars will return to play a second full series of words-and-numbers quiz Countdown in January.

Host Jimmy Carr and team captains Sean Lock and Jon Richardson will feature in a new four-part series, launching on Friday 3rd January 2014.

Finished S3 of Luther last night, its easily the best British tv series in ages.

hopefully they'll make more.
