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
