-"You might as well show the whole thing in a random order, episodes at random times of the day, abandoning the whole concept of scheduling. So now I have to wait until the episode comes round again(no certainty that it'll be shown that time round) or buy the dvd and stop watching g.o.l.d."-


Sarah-Jane - this is what they do anyway

Sad news indeed, it always seemed like she'd go on forever!

Yeah, i remember it, was a good series but too expensive to make more than one series.....or so i read somewhere. Well, if anyone from GOLD was to ever inadvertantly wander onto this board and read the messages, it just might give them a good idea.

@ GarethL99778 - i was just going to ask if it was a Sky problem as it isn't happening on Virgin.

The second series is the best, closely followed by the third.

Bless you all for even thinking they care or will even reply - stick around a bit longer and you'll see what i mean.

I'm thinking the reason it's not called UK Gold anymore is so that they can keep showing rubbish like 'Old Christine', we won't be able to complain as it's now known as G.O.L.D - they're not daft you know

Missed out the 'kneed' bit after the knock!
Knock kneed knackered old nose bag - there, felt good to get that off my chest

Mr Ghoul speaks wise words, you won't get an answer either way. Sorry will be back but it will be the same few episodes that have just been on and they will be shown over and over until you think you're in Groundhog Day!

Well GG - you knock knackered old nose-bag - it looks like you're not allowed to dislike or make jokes about My Family, especially if you like Only Fools - what a random rant by Joeyroo!

Straight into the bullseye for yet another episode of.........My Family........

I think i'll stick to the beer mats, thanks all the same.......unless of course, you have some dvd's of [whispers] Murder She Wrote [whispers]

Yes, but would it help get the prog seen, because i'd do it you know, in fact i'm starting right now.........

Now, now GG - you make it sound as if the programming is all completely random, it's much more organised than that and involves the use of a dart board, a set of darts.................soopah!

So now they're for sale in: New York - Paris - Peckham

Stick around guys, it's quite normal for these chanels

Ahh, thought there had to be an error somewhere, i wonder if there was a little pile of tapes left in the middle of the field when everyone went home!

I'd love to see this comedy repeated - it's about a vet who can't stand animals and starred Alexander Armstrong and Doon Mackichan - best not to hold my breath though eh!

People were actually paying for tapes of My Family!

Interesting link, what a lovely voice he had - only 38 when he died - such a shame.

Chewin the Fat was so funny, i'd like to see that again,
Did ya ever see ya granny makin' water down by the old mill stream..........

Hi guys, this is it - Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’
[link] (link to youtube)

I hope it is anyway

Maybe the Drama channel will be used for that. It's about time they started sorting their programmes out.

Hi hun

I think it was a couple of years ago now, so you never know.......they've got Second Thoughts on Amazon but not Faith in the Future.

Ah Doz hun, i love how optimistic you are

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, you're funny

Don't hold you breath hun.

Can't remember now, possibly, although it seemed to be mainly set in her house and his place of work (office) and his snotty ex-wife was always intruding into their relationship.

Catherine Tate was just great in this - what a pity she's not staying.

Hi Doz
I preferred Second Thoughts to this, there's always the possibility it will be on ITV3 again, they're re-running Rising Damp at the minute, so you never know.
Anna

To keep you on your toes and make sure you're paying attention!

She's good on QI as well.

Do you mean when Delboy sings it late at night outside the flats and starts a riot?

Great show - i'd love to see it again *fingers crossed*

Probably not - but you can buy a copy off ebay, it's about £6/7.

Well, assuming Gold manage to keep episodes in the right order - it's on this Wednesday 9pm.

You're right, Geraldine McEwan just wasn't right and now Julia McKenzie is taking the role.... i should reserve judgement until i see how she does, but i don't think she's the right one either!

There you go

Maybe contact the BBC direct and see if they can help.

I vaguely remember that....well, the sharp intake of breath anyway!
I saw him in an episode of Randall & Hopkirk not long ago....so young.

Hinge and Brackett....i'd love to see that again.

I know it might seem a bit odd to do that but there's no ulterior motive.

I have replied to you twice, but my posts keep being deleted.

Hi, sorry for the delay, trying to get my son off the pc is nearly impossible! He's going to sort it out for you tomorrow (13/02) and then i'll post the link for you to download it, my son said it would take too long to do it over messenger. I've pre-ordered the second series, it's due for release next month, so i'll do the same for that one as well.

My son's just come home - he's going to have a look for you. I'll let you know if he finds anything thing. Or, might be able to link it from our hard drive to web hosting and then you can download it to your desktop.

I'll check it out for you, it's a pity you can't PM on these boards because then i could send you a copy of Watching, i've got the first series and i've ordered the second but it isn't released until March.

You heard back from ITV3 very quickly, that's impressive!

No, not at all, my son used to sit and watch Keeping Up Appearances with me and he still likes to watch The Vicar of Dibley. When he was a lot younger, he loved to watch Poirot and Midsomer Murders! TBH i stopped watching soaps years ago, they are too depressing for me, i'd rather watch a good comedy.

Use the ITV3 link i posted yesterday.

I'm from Birmingham, i'm in my 40s (female) and i have a 15 year old son.

Anna

It's been censored, here's another link for you,
[link]

I know, there's no continuity on the UKTV channels....and guess what, the one with Boycie's dog was on again today!
The one with Tony Angelino never fails to make me laugh though...mind you so does the one with the blow up dolls and when Del falls through the hatch in the wine bar!
I like the ones with Raquel and Cassandra in them although Uncle Albert is my favourite.

Some of my favourite Carry On films are: Carry On Screaming, Carry On Camping, Carry On Up The Khyber.

Goerge and Mildred, The Good Life, Drop The Dead Donkey, Rising Damp, Porridge, Yes Minister/Prime Minister, Coupling, Father Ted, dinnerladies, The IT Crowd, Colin's Sandwich, Spaced, Red Dwarf, The Mighty Boosh (Noel Fielding - yum yum!)

Some are old and some not and i could name many more, but these are just a few of the sort of shows i like to watch.
Yeah, let me know how you get on.

This is a link to ITV3

Just choose an option

This is for Granada
www.itvregions.com/Granada


I hope you have more luck with Granada than i did!

For the past couple of weeks it's been the same half dozen or so episodes over and over, if i see the one where they look after Boycie's dog listed once more....grr

Watching was a Granada programme, so probably not, more likely on ITV3. You can buy series 1 & 2 from Play.com for £7.99 each, this was one of ny favourite comedies, it would be great to see the whole lot again.

There you go then, no need to show classic gold shows now, just more tripe.

Amazon.co.uk have them in stock

I've just noticed that my previous post has been censored - how's that for irony!!

Ah right, sorry. I'll watch it next time it's on and see if i know, although you'll probably have found out by then!

It was the one where they make breakfast to striptease music.
I voted for the Shirley Bassey one.

I've already posted about this, it is so annoying, here's what i posted at the beginning of November:

Why do Gold etc censor harmless shows, like for example, dinnerladies? They cut a bit out where 'Bren' says, "you're Pinky, i'm Perky", why? What's so offensive about that? Or is it not PC? Paramount 2 bleeps out words but show a close up, full frontal nude shot in Armstrong & Miller, i'm not being a prude by the way and wasn't in the least offended, i just don't understand the logic. I feel insulted by their crass concern not to offend. They are bleeping, hacking and slicing away at inoffensive shows and even when they are shown at a much later time, we still have to put up with this nonsense.

Nobody replied - maybe no-one else is bothered about it except us!!

I was expecting a run down of the clips, all shown in their entirety, but all we got was little bits of them, very disappointing.

Havers being shot was the end of series 3 - it's possible the next episode shown was the start of series 4 - although Drama have a habit of showing stuff out of sync. She's in it until the BBC end the Mysteries, which is series 6.

I liked Catherine Tate in The Runaway Bride, the only thing i've seen her in before was Big Train. Obviously i had seen trailers for her show but decided it wasn't for me and didn't watch it, so i was a bit unsure of her role in Dr Who, but i thought she was good and it did make a nice change not to have someone going all googly eyes at the Doctor all time!

Two of my favourite pieces were shown - where she sings 'I can't do it' at the piano and the one where Julie Walters plays the elderly, deaf waitress who spills all that soup trying to get through those double doors. Great weekend.

Have the leaves turned red/orange/brown? If so, don't worry it is just getting ready to shed it's leaves for Winter. I have one of these and they are hardy, i trimmed it back in the Summer because it is rampant! I hope you have a lot of room for it, they take over very quickly and can be invasive if left to their own devices. You will be left with bare stems through Winter but come Spring, you will notice the new growth on the old stems and then you will get a lot of new stems and it seems to grow at a mile a minute!

Very annoying - most of the continuity announces are pre-recorded and are used over and over again - see Paramount 2 and Drama for this - someone was a little too eager to press the button and get away for some coffee!

I don't know if you have Virgin Media, but if so, you can watch the final two episodes on TV On Demand, i watched them last week.

I agree, they should start a new channel for the US stuff.

As much as i can't stand Dallas, UKTV Gold are so out of order to do this. They treat their viewers with contempt, can you imagine if a large supermarket chain treated their customers like this? people would vote with their feet and go elsewhere. Give them the backlash they deserve, they might actually start listening to you then.

What's this got to do with The Two Ronnies? good riddance to Dallas, it's a load of old rubbish.

Hi, i can't help with the book as i haven't read any of them, but i do remember in the series, Helen is killed by mistake, by a Bosnian woman she was trying to help. The final two episodes were supposed to broadcast here a few weeks ago, but were postponed to a later time and there hasn't been any info as to when they will be shown. The BBc in it's 'wisdom' has decided it won't be making any more of the Lynley series, i hope it's picked up by a different channel.

I was saying this to my son last night, he loves The Two Ronnies, so i know he would love this as well. Fingers crossed

I'd love to see this again - much better than the US rubbish they insist on showing.

I'm going to miss Nathaniel Parker as Lynley - he's lovely

Not at the moment, try here to see programmes she's been in.

Respect!? They don't give a stuff about their viewers, if they did, programmes wouldn't get pulled before the end of a series. UKTV is hardly worth watching anymore, it's the same few programmes over and over.

The answer to one of the Bergerac questions was wrong as well. Crozier ended up as a Chief Superintendant, NOT Chief Inspector as said by UKTV Drama.

Hi, i don't know this myself, but i have asked the question for you on the IMDb boards, so fingers crossed It would be lovely if someone could help, what lovely memories it brings back for you.

I've already had a mini rant about this prog, every ad break, give it a rest. I won't be watching and when the trailers for it do come on, i put the volume on mute. I'm sick of these American shows creeping onto UK channels, stick them all on one US channel please.

Just a mini rant about The New Adventures of Old Christine...NOOOOO!!!!
How many times must we have those rubbish trailers on....every ad break it seems, my TV goes straight on to mute when they appear, i have vowed never to watch it!

Hi Cleggscap
Yes, it is indeed the Internet Movie Database, when i've seen an old show on tv, I love looking on there just to see what they are doing now or if the people are still alive!!

"Listen God, you never answer my questions, so why should i answer yours?!"

^^^ That was just me being daft, as in, "When am i going to win the lottery God?!" or "Oh God, more money to spend on the car, Why God?!"

I think the RTD episodes are the weakest, Steven Moffatt on the other hand has written the best ones so far IMHO. Do you think they'll conjure up more regenerations from some where to keep the series going?

Because it's UKTV Drama and that's what they do, so do Gold, they're always showing things out of sequence. I watched the Vicar of Dibley a few weeks ago, one night Mrs Cropley died, the next night she was back in it again!!

What was the ad about?

Listen God, you never answer my questions, so why should i answer yours?!
To be honest, i don't know what JNT syndrome is, and although of a certain age, i've only watched the Ecclestone and Tennant series. So, not much help to you really!!

Don't think so, i entered about 6 last night.

Hi Haggis
Yeah, i noticed someone had him dead and buried, poor old guy!!

I haven't seen Rome, so not sure which piece it could be. The music from Gladiator is written by Lisa Gerrard and Hans Zimmer and is available from Play.com, £7.99 delivered.

According to the IMDB, Brian Wilde is still with us, but hasn't worked since LOTSW in 1997.

You could try here for some info.
Although the cast didn't really change overnight - the series was being shown back to back and there wasn't a break between any of the series
