Favourite BBC program

[Killfacer]

Quality TV programs?..You having a laugh?:D

Seriously though, it does get me confused and baffled when I hear conservatives and paranoid people moan about the BBCs 'Left-wing agenda'. WTF?

They make loads of good programs you fool!

Planet Earth, Blue Planet, Walking with dinosaurs (beasts,mosters etc), All the david attenbrough shit, doctor who, life on mars, lots of good historical dramas.

What you chattin?

Loved beasts and dinosaurs. I was quite young when they came out and used to love dinosaurs. Did you ever watch a program called Space with Sam Neill narrating. That was good.

I did see it yeah, it was very good. They also did a little known program called "the seven deadliest seas". It was fucking great. Basically think a walking with dinosaurs esque league table of the seven deadliest seas of all time.

Here's some pics of the hard ass sea monsters:

The liopleurodon, probably the hardest animal thing of all time. They reckon it was 25m long:

This big ass armoured fish thing:

I used to laugh at people who watch eastenders. Now i'm part of that disgraceful breed. I hate myself but i can't stop watching it. :crying:

[Rusty Shackleford]

Monty Python anyone?

[Melon]

Storyville. I like the BBC world factual doc's as well as the science and nature docs

[Angry Young Man]

Ashes to Ashes. I think I might just be straight exclusively for Keeley Hawes.

I just hope they make Gashes to Gashes. :lol:

[brigadista]

love no 1 ladies detective agency and a lot of the bbc3 and 4 music progs

[Angry Young Man]

That's a terrible show! How does a show about a private detective in Africa manage to be so twee and unchallenging? I don't want to sound savage, but where's the testicles in the post?

[-marx-]

That's easy for me, "some mothers do av em", Frank Spencer is funny as hell.

[The Idler]

A state broadcaster who will have you imprisoned unless you give them a fixed sum. As a result they have massive resources (paying Jonathan Ross £18m over 3 years) and occasionally throw lots of money at stuff like Walking with Dinosaurs so the people will go "wow, the license fee was all worth it".

Cash in the attic at 3am drinking apple juice through my toes. :cool:

Unbeatable.

[Pogue]

Rome was wicked, and so much fucking sex.

[Pirate turtle the 11th]

so much fucking sex.

As opposed to the other types of sex?

[Killfacer]

Rome was highly entertaining but it was pretty poor really. Not only that but it wasn;t made by the BBC, it was made by HBO.

[OneNamedNameLess]

Planet Earth was/is the best so far. David Attenborough's voice really turns me on and chills me out :blushing:

[Pinko Panther]

Monty Python anyone?
I LOVE Monty Python. Best sketch comedy show ever, in my opinion.
Doctor who is great too.

[Il Medico]

I like Doctor Who, Primeval, Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares (not quite sure way on this one), Top Gear, and Monty Python. Love it when they show Blackadder as well.

totally agree, although this is on Channel 4...

Anyone watch Flight of the Conchords tonight. It's getting back to its best form now...

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

No mention of Red Dwarf? For shame!

If we're going by sexy presenter voices, does anyone watch Coast? I probably wouldn't have remembered if I didn't see that you're Scottish, but Neil Oliver's voice makes me come in my pants.

[Il Medico]

It is also on BBC America.

[-marx-]

Red Dwarf was cool!

[Pirate turtle the 11th]

Killfacer: It was a joint project between HBO and BBC.

[Pirate turtle the 11th]

also they used the set of rome in a episode of dr who

[Killfacer]

also they used the set of rome in a episode of dr who

Yeah i remember that, it was set at Pompei.

Has anyone watched Red Dwarf recently? It's fucking awful. I used to like it but now it's really dated.

[Killfacer]

Yeah flight of the conchords is great but i reckon the second series got off to a pretty poor start. It all seemed a bit contrived.

[bellyscratch]

Nobody has mentioned Ray Mears!!!

or Louis Theroux...

Agree on all the Attenbrough stuff though

[Pogue]

Yeah flight of the conchords is great but i reckon the second series got off to a pretty poor start. It all seemed a bit contrived.

second serie's are aways shit, especialy in succesful shows, cos they try to replicate the good aspects of the first series and try too hard

[-marx-]

Yeah i remember that, it was set at Pompei.

Nope, but I've found that shows I used to like don't get the same reception when I watch them these days. Not all shows but some seem to out date themselves.

[Angry Young Man]

Pingu. Early years TV has savagely gone downhill since the early 90s.

[brigadista]

its a matter of taste - i dont watch a lot of television an i dont want to be angry all the time so that is why i like that prog - we will have to agree to differ here- Jill Scott also happens to be one of my favorite singers and i read all the books -ffs

is this an example of "testicles"???

What are you talking about?

[brigadista]

What are you talking about?


you obviously dont read all the posts

[Bilan]

- The Mighty Boosh
- Mock the Week (I think its on there?)

[Magdalen]

The Phil Silvers Show. Although it was originally shown between 1955 and 1959 on CBS, the BBC kept repeating it almost daily, long after it was forgotten in the US, right up to 2004, and it was a permanent fixture in my childhood. Bilko will never become dated. (I keep remembering the 1959 episode when Bilko dressed up as a visiting General from the Cuban Revolutionary Army to fool Sgt. Ritzik into playing cards with him.)

The British Phil Silvers Appreciation Society has started up a petition to force the BBC to 'Bring Back Bilko!', which is available to sign here. (http://www.bpsas.co.uk/bring_back_bilko.html)

Mock the Week (I think its on there?)
might as well just let Dara, Frankie and Russel do some jokes coz the rest of the show is shite
