[TV] Ghosts

[SK1NT]

Does anyone know why this is on tv at prime time?

I would say give it a chance and watch it from the first season. Without context of the situation and character backgrounds, i can imagine you wouldn't like it as much.

Good light hearted fun tv. I started watching the first two seasons at the start of lockdown and it really raised my mood.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Watched it with Mrs Fridge last night and was distinctly unimpressed. Wasn't a fair comparison as I had just watched 'Tony Hancock's Air Steward' which minute for minute laugh wise was Champions League vs Isthmian League by comparison. I did chuckle at one joke near the end but it does point to the general malaise in both terrestrial and on-line current comedy. Just ain't funny guys, single trick pony jokes with a laugh per minute count in the small fractions.

I can only assume that the standard of writing, as we were blessed with in years gone by, isn't there anymore?


Step up!

Golly, not heard this theme for 30+ years! They don't write theme tunes nor devise iconic kids tv programmes like that anymore. We never had it so good.

I bet you still knew all the words

"If your mansion house needs haunting..."

Big fan of this since I found it on iPlayer. Not sure if I'll bother with the CBS remake though

I like the concept more than the actual show. I watched it for Charlotte Ritchie, so it has paid off. But it's not Porridge. It also doesn't claim to be.

 

[The Clamp]

It’s got good talent, good writers, well produced and clearly an okay budget. So why is it so crap?

If you need to flush any ghostly shit out of your mind tank, try this.

That’s the spirit!

 

[Gun shot]

The first time I saw it I swear Ricky Tomlinson was the guy in the scout kit. Bloody good dead-ringer for him.

 

[Hamilton]

I don't have high expectations of it. As a result, it makes me smile and feel a little happier. I quite like it.

I did watch the first two seasons and was ok'ish but last night I fell asleep watching it and when I woke up it was on episode 6.
