Septic Peg Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Anyone watching it? Nope. Good. I'd rather pull my eyeballs out and play ping pong with them. More shite than a love child of Tony Dinning and Martyn Woolford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in our house I am proud to say though - Mrs RRH watches Strictly but that`s it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't watch either but isn't strictly just celebrities(who isn't a celebrity nowadays) dancing,at least the other bilge like X factor and Britains got talent get normal folk with a sad story to tell,strange that nobody has a normal good upbringing nowadays.

They do all seem to have `been on a journey` don`t they? Lowest common denominator TV at it`s worst along with all that jungle bollocks and all the rest of it. It`s one of the reasons I`ve got Sky if I`m honest - at least you can usually find something decent to watch even if it is just an old episode of Fawlty Towers or Father Ted.

WTFiGO!?! Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 The lack of discerment is embarrassing; I sometimes feel like I was born into the wrong species. A worryingly large proportion of people seem content to feed off any old crap ITV can think up. Additionally, Big Brother and Jeremy Kyle are modern day freak shows but the rest are little better. It's abuse and exploitation on a grand scheme. The producers are sinister bastards. I watched the Matrix last night for the very first time. It is a superb film.

I agree entirely - it`s the modern equivalent of going to Bedlam to look at the lunatics. The Matrix is great, one of my favourite movies - I enjoyed the second one too but the third not so much.

Some terrific old footage and interviews. I did the same RRH. Great insight into Pete Townsend's mind. Never appreciated what a deep thinker he is. Very talented guy. I know Tommy is a rock opera and that was the point of the programme but I'd love hear him talk about the brilliant Quadraphenia album. That album is in my top 5 best ever. To support Pegs op - I've never ever watched X factor. All types of talent shows hold zero interest to me. They're all tacky and naff imv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That album is in my top 5 best ever. And with a lot of inner demons which writing Tommy helped him to deal with. There is a similar documentary out there about Quadrophenia which does just that and it is very good. You just have to keep an eye out - Sky Arts is a very underrated channel and always worth looking at to see what`s on - one of the good things is, if you miss something or come to it late it`s normally on two or three times over a couple of days so you can catch it again. I`ve seen some excellent stuff on there. They didn`t do this last night but often they will follow a documentary like last night`s with the film itself too.

I do watch Sky Arts from time to time if I find something I'm interested in when I scroll through on my Sky Box. That's how I saw that Tommy was under the spot light last night, As you say it was Townsend's own catharsis expressed through his own wonderful talent. What a talent!

Dave Grohl of Nirvana or Joey Jordison of Slipknot might have given him a run for his money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
