That reminds me, BGT is on tonight.
I swear, if there are some shit adverts on almost straight away, I'm just not going to watch it. I have had ENOUGH of ITV and their shitty advert breaks.

I know, adverts are getting so bad atm, and they're getting more often too - like on american telly. On Flashforward the other day (and Glee is just as bad) it seemed like there was an advert break every five minutes. Don't know whether I'm gonna watch BGT tonight either, depends how much Ant and Dec get on my nerves.

~ Gavin and Stacey.
~ Being Human.
~ Most of the comedy panel shows on Dave- QI, Mock the Week, Would I Lie To You, etc.
~ The Young Ones (big of an old one but awesome nonetheless).
~ Police documentaries (Cops With Cameras, The Force, Traffic Cops, etc).
~ BGT.
~ Peep Show.
~ The Inbetweeners.
~ The IT Crowd.
~ The Mighty Boosh.

I don't understand why when the US want to show a British programme that they will remake it with American actors and a different script, however when we show an American programme it stays as it was originally. It ruins the show - take The Office, for example. It was brilliant, is remade and is rubbish. Gavin and Stacey is apparently being remade for the US but that's totally going to ruin it. Show the British version!

But American Outnumbered will fail.
Why don't they just use the British version? It's epic!

I know that was my reaction, it's perfect as it is. I'm not sure whether it's true though, and I can't remember where I read it . . .

Actually, I've just found it on imdb , seems like they've already made it! Not much info about it though. If you go down to 'Fun Stuff' it says it's a remake of the English one.

Ashes to Ashes, yay! Have to admit, I watch less tv than I used to now I'm in halls of residence, and thus without access to a tv... My only exceptions these days are Ashes to Ashes and Doctor Who, even though this series of good old Eighties fun is less... intereesting. We WATCHED the second series for the damn SEXUAL TENSION, BBC! We got it in one measly episode this series! Grrr. And the mystery of Sam Tyler? Simple! He went off and became the freakin' Master!
Oh well. The fun finally comes to an end today, so I can finally stop angsting about how dim Keeley Hawes can be...

Um, I think so... But whoa, I am seriously disappointed if it is! I can safely say Heaven is not a pub in Manchester - I live here! Heaven it ain't ¬¬ Even if it does have a saloon bar. Plus - wth? How the hell would you just LEAVE him? Grr...
It appears to be special policeman heaven though, so maybe that's okay.
