It's a sitcom about a lazy twenty something couple who rarely leave their flat. Becky's sister Laura is THE vilest and most horrible character EVER. Please tell me I'm not the only person who thinks Becky is a doppleganger for our very own Bonz? In both looks and mannerisms. It can't be just me who thinks that! I said that to Bonz as soon as the first series aired. Laura is Russell Howard's sister, isn't she? She had her own one-off sketchshow on BBC2 recently as part of their comedy firsts series. Wasn't particularly funny, mind.

Sorry but you've got me scratching my head there, Al! Though to be fair i haven't seen Bonzette for years apart from a very brief exchanged hello in the Canterbury Arms before New Order at Brixton Academy May 2012.Really don't know on that one

Caught up with episode 2 of Him & Her then episode 3 which is available on iPlayer before it's on BBC3 this coming Thursday . The Wedding ceremony, that was just hands over the eyes stuff . Brilliant . Laura is just , well, beyond words with her self obsession. The scene in the limousine when she sticks her head up through the sun roof and keeps shouting to any passer by that she's in a limo and starts hurling insults . She's just pure evil

Got three hours sleep on Sunday evening, before the Giants were on Sunday Night Football ( NBC, US TV station; Channel 4, UK TV station). Was considering switching off and going to bed again after the first two possessions - glad I didn't! Got about three hours sleep before going back to work today. Not a chore when you have a job you enjoy doing... |

Line Of Duty the other night. Brilliant. First in the new series and it left me wishing I'd watched the first series which I completely missed . Those closing scenes in this first episode , fuck! Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe "That's all we've got time for this week. Now go away" And Philomena Crunk ( Clunk?) is ace.Bit of a cop out though having the last in the current series just being a highlights of the series . Vic and Bob in House Of Fools, it's sort of really really crap at times but still worth a look each week. Inside No 9. You've just got to watch owt with Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith involved in, haven't you. Edited by user 15 February 2014 02:03:54(UTC)

Olympics Roulette: skiing, sledding, hockey, skis with guns = empty chamber (good). Ice prancing (figure skating ect) = loaded (bad).
Hate watching the filter broadcast of the games because I live on the other side of the world.

Oh this is ace news.New series called W1A starting next week on BBC2 ( Tuesday night? Or Wednesday? not sure) From the makers of the excellent and hilarious Twenty Twelve. Not sure what the premise is but it appears to have a few of the lot from Twenty Twelve in, including the brilliant Jessica Hynes. Should be great.

Did any of you watch Jamaica Inn? I mostly enjoyed it though impossible to follow at times with the much documented mumbling dialogue problems.I put that down to just Sean Harris' character who just mumbled anyway regardless of sound issues. Loved Jessica Brown Findlay in it, thought she was fantastic. The opening scene in the final episode with the smugglers luring the ship to crash on to the rocks was pretty bloody good.Loved that dark 1821 Cornwall atmosphere captured in the series.And even Joanne Whalley was in it so what more could you want?

I have just now finished watching the last ever episode of Breaking Bad, we got the initial box set (1-3) at Christmas time so it's been sort of with me for the first 4 months of the year, it did take me a while to get into it but I am glad now that I persisted, wonderful stuff, so many highlights right up to the last episode.

Yeah i'd like to see that Frank Sidebottom film. Used to love Frank Sidebottom.Sadly missed.
Well i had a watch of the first couple of episodes of Fargo on Channel 4.Good .Not seen tonight's episode yet. Was curious to see how Martin Freeman coped with doing an American accent.He's ok actually.His character Lester is getting himself involved in a right pickle.

Rachael Neimann; University Challenge semi-finalist, Mastermind contestant and DandelionRadio.com broadcaster, is now a team captain on the (UK TV channel) BBC FOUR hit quiz, Only Connect (now in it's ninth series). The show is brilliant. Carol Vorderman must have launched a law suit against the Beeb for not offering her the presenter role. You can watch the wonderful lady in action now on the BBC iPlayer: Only Connect - Series 9, Episode 4Edited by user 05 May 2014 13:05:06(UTC)
| Reason: Episode mistake on the Beeb web page. Hmm... |

Edge Of Darkness series repeat on Monday nights,BBC4. This BBC crime/political drama from 1985 seems to be revered as one of the Beeb's best ever .I vaguely remember being aware of it and all its critical acclaim at the time but never watched it for some reason so coming to it for the very first time after nearly 30 years. Perhaps famously known for Eric Clapton's repeating guitar riff that soundtracks many scenes.Watched the first episode.. intriguing though inevitably slightly dated i'll keep watching to see what all the fuss was about.Shame Joanne Whalley is killed in the first 10 minutes of episode 1 Edited by user 02 July 2014 14:36:06(UTC)

Unfortunately, Dandelion Radio's Rachael Neuman's Record Collectors failed to make to the final of Only Connect Series 9, but three teenagers who call themselves the EUROPHILES did. A gripping final. A " defensive battle" as the Americans would say. If you live in the UK and you missed it, you must watch it now - it's the law: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ep...ct-series-9-13-the-final |
