That should really be ‘The Wire‘ I guess – but last night we finally got to the end of season 5 (the final season) of ‘The Wire’. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes their Drama’s gritty and sometimes bloody and certainly often hard to understand! The learning…
Mark Beaumont's next documentary
Mark‘s next documentary is starting on BBC 1 Scotland in a weeks time (Tuesday 23rd at 10:35pm) Radio Times Link Having been lucky enough to see the first of the three parter already and it is definitely a must watch if you like Mark’s style and stories from on the…
More tweets than posts…
Maybe because it’s easier to tweet than write a decent length post but I seem to be tweeting more than posting these days. Shows up worst here on the blog front page with all these ‘latest tweets’. All too easy to just use one web tool to post to facebook/twitter/blog…
Final Season of Lost
Looking forward to a lazy evening watching the first couple of episodes of the final Lost season. Need to watch the resume of the previous series first as I’ve forgotten a lot of it! Quite a busy weekend half over but hopefully all good.
Good old BBC
Isn’t the BBC marvelous – could make my dinner this evening and watch Eastenders live on the web on the laptop. No TV in the kitchen you see… Okay, my choice of program was quite limitted, but it’s bubblegum for the brain. B
The Wire

More sunny days!
Who would have thought I could be writing about sunny weekends after two consecutive ones? Lazy weekend mostly – although headed to the flicks to see Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Pretty much as expected, typical Indy movie, lots of unbelievable action from Harrison Ford and the cast. Doing…
World premiere
Not quite a black tie and red carpet affair, but was still great to be a part of it! What am I talking about? New James Bond film, latest Pirates of the Caribbean? Nope. The Man Who Cycled the World I headed through to Glasgow to the BBC offices at…
Channel Dave
Bizarre name for a Freeview TV channel but there ya go. Lots of quality programs like errrr, Top Gear, and Top Gear, and a bit more Top Gear. Only joking, it’s not quite that bad, well it probably is. Occasional QI, Whose Line is it Anyway, and other mainstream stuff.
