Agree with those but I'd say the ever-fascinating Who Do You Think You Are? is the best, IMHO. I'm hooked on that Restoration Village too - the bizarre Ptolemy who appears on there has become a minor hero at Harveys Heights.Buzza said:Dragons Den

Buzza said:Is that the the prog where people trace their ancestors? (Barbara Windsor?) I haven't watched any of those yet.
Yup - I think it's fantastic, every time. Even when it's people that you're not that fussed about, like Barbera Windsor.Buzza said:Is that the the prog where people trace their ancestors? (Barbara Windsor?) I haven't watched any of those yet.

The man's a genius - the line between "wanker" and "hero" can be a very thin one:afters said:he's an absolute wanker of the highest order. has his own programme on bbc 4. poor.
Tubthumper said:Seriously thought, this is one of the best tv programs on at the moment. Good old BBC.
I totally agree - I normally like the fairly robust nature of that programme but they were just being pointlessly rude to a nice, pretty phlegmatic bloke who'd actually invented something, which a lot more than any of them have ever done. The worst one is that detestable ill-mannered lanky prick who plays tennis outside his kitsch Dallas-style house. Thank god he's balding.Meade's_Ball said:I do enjoy watching a Dragons Den, but the overall identical story of each week is starting to push me further away. 30 minutes of no chances. 15 minutes of almosts. 15 minutes of the ONE.
The bloke who got the money last night arrived and said he was no topdog in this field so needed some money and their expertise. Then they put him down and said he was rubbish, repeating what he said already. Well done experts, you tried to belittle a man that admitted his weaknesses from the off.
Man of Harveys said:Although I'm pissed off with that programme: the building I thought would walk it - the White House in Northern Ireland - didn't even make it to the final.
Jesus, you are SO wrong, you ludicrous curmudgeon - that was the best building they've ever had on there! A sodding CHURCH won instead.afters said:the northern ireland buildings were wank. the winner needed less restoration than my house! and your fave was a rather unattractive proposition all round i'd say.

Are you Brightoning this weekend, MEATBALL?
BOOOOOOOOO!Meade's_Ball said:I'm afraid i have to find somewhere to live so hunt this weekend. I'd do it after work, but my slightly ill feeling means i have to go to bed at about 6pm each night once work finishes. It does make me a gay binner, but a healthier one.
I'd love to be there and getting up to things.

or a follow up on any 'deal' - see how it progressed, rather than just a quick recap on the next series..
