Big Brother Best Shows - watched this today, featuring the original series 1. It's amazing looking back at how much fuss was made of 'Nasty' Nick trying to influence the voting! It certainly explains how politics has ended up how it is now, 20 years on :-)
Back then you could also watch live feed and remember getting texts/emails that it was kicking off but was a blocked site a work.
Strange that Craig was considered a boring housemate until the confrontation with ‘Nasty’ Nick which ultimately led him to win.
Funny to see them all sat around reading as they were allowed to take books in. Wonder why they changed that rule?!
It was nice to see normal everyday looking people on a reality show instead of the identikit fake tanned wannabes you get now.

This is pretty sad
I can remember exactly where I was when I heard they had kicked nasty nick out. He wasnt even that nasty, as i recall he was the only one who was playing the game to win
It probably should have stopped after that first run, as a social experiment it was fresh and new as opposed to the human zoo it became.
Now this is a random one, I bumped into Nicola Holt a couple of years in Soho. I said to the people I was with "look there is Nicola from the first series of big brother"
It was a bit embarrassing when my wife asked how I knew who she was having not watched the show and me confessing to her that it was from watching a video or two of her being double penetrated as opposed to knowing anything about her from big brother
Just started watching The First Team on iPlayer. Not sure if already mentioned. Pretty funny first episode, comedy about young footballers. Lots of scenes shot at the valley.

Anna the skateboarding lesbian nun should have won, she has a brilliant dry sense of humour if I remember rightly. Though obviously what Craig did with the winnings was lovely.

Anyone watched Hunters, the Al Pacino Amazon series yet?
Looks ideal, but something is stopping me diving in.
It’s ok. It’s a bit of a mess in places and struggles to stick to one formula. There are some moments in it that are stand out good. There is also a lot wrong with it including one moment where I almost gave up on it but stuck with it to the end and felt there was just enough to get me interested in a second series. Also at an hour each episode it felt too long.
Just watched the first episode and I’m completely lost but it’s fucking great!
Same. Need a reminder of who everyone is!
I've rewatched the last two series over the past week, so am not as baffled as I would have been trying to remember everything. Just done the first three episodes - all I can say is 'wow'. If they manage to close it all up properly in the last five episodes I seriously think it'll be the best TV I think I've ever watched. Even better than Breaking Bad.

I’ve just finished episode 7, an episode I can only describe as a masterpiece. It’s the most complex series of television I’ve ever watched but how they managed to tie up the ‘original’ world storyline in just over an hour and take it full circle is insane.
Finally finished the Dynasty series, really good. Wont be everyones cup of tea, but i enjoyed it! The last episode was cool with a bit of a hangover vibe too it
2 episodes in , just started the order on netflix. Looks promising!

Im gutted there’s only one episode left.
Fuck me, the end of episode 3 was mind blowing 😳
I left it there as I want to watch it with the gf and she's moving house tomorrow so won't be able to watch the rest until next weekend. It really is brilliant.
What did people think of the Salisbury Poisonings on BBC1 last night? Despite some over-acting I found it gripping.
I have only one other comment to make at this stage: Putin, go **** yourself.
Binge watched it last night. Astonishing! The audacity of Putin's Russia - there are many ways he could have despatched Sergei Skripal, using a nerve agent was as ostentatious a statement of "I can do what I like" as it gets. In fact, once Dawn Sturgess died it was tantamount to a declaration of war. Unfortunately it was Russia and not Argentina and our impotence was exposed.

Watched this for the first time today.. brilliantly done.
It was like the first time I saw the 6th sense!

Enjoy the books but this was awful.

mini series based on Wally Lambs book. Sky Atlantic.
difficult viewing. depressing but absorbing. Mark Ruffalo is becoming one of my favourite actors.
