Blimey, she hasn't aged too well :o

Sod it, I still would :P

Edit: Have downloaded Tales Of The Unexpected on a free leach from TV Vault. Fantastic programme. Saw the first 2 series again a year or 2 ago so am watching series 3 at the mo. A fantastic programme, I love anthology series ;D

Another Edit: Completely forgot about Walter's word, 'vagenda'. Best. Word. Ever. ;D

Current favourite program is "Parks and Recreation". American mockumentary type program cut from the same cloth as 30 Rock.

First series was a bit meh (but there were only a handful of eps). I'm now approaching the end of series 2 (there's been 4 series so far) and it's fantastic.

Damn but they look old. Not much you can do about that though.
Don't like Kryten's new head, but that's just nit picking.
Hope they don't screw it up like they did with Back to Earth...



The yanks have remade The Inbetweeners.

Have started working through 'The Walking Dead' on Netflix and I'm hooked! The level of gore surprised me for a TV show. It's about time someone did a good post-apocalyptic zombie survival show!

You do realise you've set Harv off, now, and he'll tell us about the great Zombie tv shows from the 70s and 80s?

I read recently that Zombieland was originally supposed to be a tv show, before they reworked it into a film. Would've liked to see that.

I love The Walking Dead. AMC did a fantastic job, and the zombie deaths look awesome in high def. Didn't enjoy the second series as much as the first, but it was still great. If memory serves, I waited until there were only 2 or 3 episodes left to broadcast, then started watching them - thinking the last few eps will be ready by the time I've watched the 10 or so I've got... and then I watched them all in two nights and had to wait a week for each of the next few. ;D Compulsive viewing.

Brilliant ;D Especially number 10 lololol ;D

I think the writers did that as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to all of the badly written zombie/alien/monster films that do exactly the same thing. Think it went over everyone's head though lol. The writing's too good overall to make it anything else imo.

I think my three favourite shows at the moment are:

Spartacus (and surpisingly not because of the copious amount of boobs). The fight scenes are extremely well choreographed and the injuries far more realistic (even if some of the SFX on them aren't perfect). I'd love to see the producers of the series do a Conan TV series, I think they'd finally be the ones to do a proper Conan if they did it with the level of violence that Spartacus has, with the proper cleaving of heads like ripe melons Howard so enjoyed.

Game of Thrones. Excellent adaptation of the books so far. A couple of very minor gripes but that is really nit picking. 

Walking Dead, again a pretty good adaptation and I think some of the subtle changes from the comic have been necessary for TV.

Also still like True Blood, Fringe and Falling Skies. Along with Castle, Supernatural and Grimm.

lol



Let's just say that things don't get any better for Carl, apart from some traumatic events before issue 83 of the comic but as to Number 7, well it wasn't his dad ...

... and I won't spoil it by letting you know the outcome of that one.

The main set for Game of Thrones is about 3 or 4 miles from my house  :o

They travel all over northern Ireland for locations, Im expecting cersei lannister to show up for tea some evening Haha!
