[DaveP]

I don't make a habit of reading this 'paper, but it seems to have the best coverage of this commission.

A 2-hour, no commentary, coverage of a narrowboat cruising....

 

[sounds like supreme fun for all those who want to be back-seat drivers]

I watched episode ! of Jamaica Inn was that a silent one ?

I think I might welcome a programme were I can make up my own mind without someone constantly telling me things that I'd probably forget in two minutes. Let the pictures tell the story. But then I dislike TV on the whole and don't get me on the mindless twaddle churned out by the DJ's Rant over for now until I get another excuse.

Very interesteing, just a pity that there is no information about broadcasting dates or times, even the official BBC site is just hype with no useful information.

Nothing more than "cheap TV".

[DaveP]

I think it's still at the commissioning stage - not even filmed yet...

Good TV doesn't have to cost much - just provide the audience with something they enjoy watching. I'm pretty sure that programs like Only Connect, don't cost a lot but it's on my must watch list

One day I actually knew the answer to one of the questions........ not happened again.

The "Wall" is the best bit!

 

(And we enjoy UC and Mastermind as well)

Yes, I can usually get one line......never more.

 

Best score on Mastermind was 18 - that's 'cos the specialist subject was Angling. I can't resist playing along.
