They should have had maybe one more episode in seies 1 and been done with it. The whole Scully turning into a weirdo and geting lesby with Kallinda stuff was a bit much.

Yep.
Got round to watching The Detectorists while I've been off. Loved it.

Yip - as someone who went through all 5 seasons it starts really well but goes downhill and from S4 onwards its was a real struggle to get through them (despite some good one off ideas)

They've commissioned two more series, too. I think that's old news, but I only read it today.
It's been fun seeing my alma mater on 'University Challenge' and they played brilliantly throughout.

Poldark and Indian Summers. An overload of scrumptiousness of a Sunday evening. I even fancy Aidan Turner meself. Brilliant casting.
Ballot Monkeys.
Enjoyable with several brilliant lines. Felt very much like a Radio 4 18:30 comedy.

Has anybody else been watching Raised By Wolves?
It's bloody hilarious, much better than I expected!

Raised By Wolves is my new favourite programme and is the funniest thing I've seen in years.
So, ITV's 'Newzoids'. Watched the second episode last night on ITV Player. Mostly pretty lame, but the Kay Burley skit was scarily accurate and the Sherlock one had its moments. The highlight, however, was a trailer for a forthcoming Bible film called 'The Book of Osborne' showing the Chancellor reenacting famous Bible stories ('see, I have made the lame walk'). Very dark and very effective satire. Shame the rest of the show did not reach such heights.
Think I'll just watch for clips on Youtube, if any come my way.

The whole show is just brilliant. Watch it, if you're not already doing so.

Based on the recommendations in this thread, I watched the first episode on 4oD All4 tonight. Absolutely amazing stuff.

for pure laughs, it's been brilliant. But I think I've enjoyed Catastrophe more. Mainly, I suspect, because I have a crush on Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan.
Peter Kay's Car Share. Better than I was expecting it to be, but that's often been the case for me with his work. As usual, he's taken an every day situation and found the funny side of it.
My only criticism was
Looking forward to the next episode tonight.

There is a BBC drama starting this Sunday, 7 parts, called Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
I have my hopes that it will be great. Owen had recommended this book to me some years ago, and it is one of the best things I have ever read.
i was going to try and give you a basic synopsis, but as I had tried to explain it to Russell the other evening and made a complete shambles of it, it's probably best that I do not.
It might be worth reading about it on the internet, as I know I'm not selling it very well here, but if it is even a tenth as good as the book it will be awesome.

Have any of you watched Bluestone 42?
I thought it was brilliant (well first 2 series, 3rd one was a bit meh)

The book was good. I am looking forward to the tv.
24 hours in the past. Emmerdale, corrie and east benders. Emmerdale is the best now.
I also watch Counting Cars on ITV4 Danny is boss and Pawn Stars.

It's really good. Some of the timing in it is brilliant. The CO (Tony Gardner) is fantastic.

So much so, I emailed PoV about him. They wanted me to record a clip but I had lost my voice
Did any one watch Back in time for dinner? That was pure class.

Bugsplat on Ch4 might turn out to be OK.

Yeah totally
loved the 70s one. Caught up with episodes 3 & 4 of '1864' last night. Still loving it. Some of the battle scenes are very well-done, and sometimes (rightly) graphic. The image of the pig will stay with me for a long time.

Also, the young Marxist German soldier is currently my favourite character.
Dam it, I love this show.

My lady and I have spent the past three days watching Peep Show. I guess I really don't need to point out how utterly awesome and hilarious it is.
Argh! Forgot that 'University Challenge' and 'Only Connect' started again this evening. Oh well, to the catch-up-a-tron...
I only got three answers on UC. Poor showing.
I did better at Only Connect but I didn't really like it.

I thought she was pregnant at the end of the last series because of GIANT BOOBS.
So glad to hear the new series have begun as these are my favourite two things on TV!

I can't believe that no one has mentioned Yonderland (Sky1), now showing series 2.
It really is rather funny.

BBC4's 'Timeshift' was about the OS last night. Enjoyable map porn.
I then found myself watching on Iplayer the CBBC 30th anniversary show because I was bored. Some nice clips from the Broom Cupboard years. Alarmingly, Andy Crane has not aged at all. I'm now concerned that I'm older than the current crop of presenters.

In Case You Missed It seems like a Dara O Brien 'sideways glance at the week's TV' type program, but really, really isn't.
Completely tickled our funny bones.

Well, what is it instead then? A documentary about the holocaust? A gameshow where members of the public compete to win a free lombotomy? Just naming one thing it isn't leaves quite a lot of possibilities.
Porn!
