has anyone watched it? i binged it last night and i thought it was brilliant! i won’t post any spoilers but i don’t know if people will comment any, i think every season has been brilliant and i loved the cast of jo joyner, david tennant and siobhan finnernan. the young lads were all amazing too

Here from the Time series 3 thread. If you haven't seen it already, Broken is definitely a drama I don't think I could recommend any higher. I have the DVD, I've seen it several times since buying it and amongst all the great one off and serial dramas by Jimmy McGovern - this is easily the best in my opinion.

There are so many interwoven stories and the acting by the entire cast is just incredible - Sean Bean is simply mesmerising as Father Michael. Each story becomes intertwined as the series progresses and whilst some of it is a difficult watch - the production, the acting and the storytelling simply take you to another place.

For those of you like me who may have found S3 of Time slightly underwhelming, please if you can set an evening aside to watch Broken. You won't be disappointed!

Just watching Mock The Week, which used to be on BBC2 and is now on TLC and I started thinking about other programmes which moved from one broadcaster to another. I know Men Behaving Badly transferred from Thames to BBC2 and The Morecambe & Wise Show went the other way with, shall we say, mixed results. Not including channels like Dave, which basically just shows reruns, are there any other examples of shows switching channels?

Edit : I just remembered Neighbours, which moved from BBC1 to Channel 5 in the UK and, interestingly, from Network 7 to Network 10 in Australia.

Also apologies to Dave, for the unnecessary disparagement!

Always wondered about HUtH viewers.

Has anyone ever watched an episode that featured their house?

What did you think?

How did the house turn put after it was transformed?

Would be interested to know.

Binge watching Ann Droid today and I really love every part of this show that doesn't include these two. They've got to be the most unlikeable couple I've ever seen on TV.

Another one I haven't seen anyone else discuss, what did you think?

It reminded me of Lovesick and Starstruck, not quite as polished but good for an early career writer, with a great side cast.

There’s plenty of justifiable hatred towards many ads on at the moment, but there must be some good and/or funny ones that you like?

I live in the states and have a question about the police in Northern Ireland. I've seen on the show multiple occasions of police officers being attacked, their requests being completely ignored and riots where officers get attacked and they seem to just let these people leave right after the situation is contained. Is this normal practice for law enforcement in the area, or just embellishments for the sake of story?

With Amandaland confirming an xmas special, and mrs browns boys confirming NO xmas special (thank god) - What are you hoping has an xmas special this year? I'm holding out on hope for Here We Go and Two Doors Down!

In Shakespeare and Hathaway S05E06 at 36:14 there is a police man that seems incredibly familiar to me. Looks like an actor I've seen in roles in action movies, possible American. No credits, Google Lens has no idea and Googling didn't help. Maybe he just looks like someone, maybe it's a cameo? Please help!

Blue Planet 2 led to a lot of laws combating plastic use in the UK. Do you think this one will have a similar impact?

Does anyone out there ever remember like John Clarke and Bryan Dawe and there weeklybsegment where they made like a satire version of like an interviewer sitting down with a politician with John Clarke acting like the polly and Bryan Dawe the interviewer with John full on taking the piss out of things that were said by the politicians that week pretty much as to me that was purely Aussie humour gold in the best way possible no matter what.

BT is set to relaunch its pay tv service BT TV, after previously rebranding to EE TV in December 2023.

Just spotted BBC has added S1 of The Golden Cobra to their YouTube. Is this the first series they've fully published on YouTube and iPlayer?

I’m American and the first two episodes of Tip Toe were just released.

The performances are ASTOUNDING, especially Rhys and Cumming and I’m curious if Rhys is a big star in the UK?

Posted on ITVs insta today...Can't wait! Releasing early 2027 I'm guessing

I’m so disappointed by this. I started watching it mainly because it was filmed in my home city. However, it’s really poor. On episode 3 of 6 but I don’t think I can bring myself to finish it.

There isn't news that Neil and/or Nick are leaving, so I expect them to stay on for season 27 at the end of 2027 also.

That will mean that Neill had 13 seasons as the lead character, and Nick 9 seasons as the DS.

That's a lot. Tom had the "pilot" episode and the first 13 seasons until he left.

It would be cool, if they revitalize the show after that. We need a big change because the show became something else around seasons 17 and 18. It's fun to watch while you're iron your clothes, but that's it.

I hope an old DS or Sgt. comes back to pick up the mantle as the new lead for the show, like a Ben Jones or even Troy... if not someone completely new and not a Barnaby. And a female DS/sgt. would also be interesting for once.

Or do you think the show should end with Neill?

Hi,

I've recently remembered a TV documentary from late 2000s/early 2010s about a male dominatrix who wants to quit his line of work to become a boxer again. It was quite bleak, fly on the wall style documentary about this bloke's BDSM work and his boxing ambitions. He ultimately ends up losing his last boxing match.

I seem to remember it being sex in a Northern seaside town, his sex dungeon is in the basement of his terrace house. There's one scene where the camera crew sit in his living room while screams of a client can be heard from the muffled basement.

I cannot find any evidence of it online and it's driving me mad. Think it was probably Channel 4... Any ideas?
