Is this the best entertainment that Saturday can come up with?

God help us!

I been complaining about tv for yrs, so guess be another few yrs before you watch it again? And it only feel like a few week ago because ant and dec and philip schofield will still be there presenting something.
Think they should rename itv to something else eg ant dec and philip schofield channel because all 3 are hardly ever off and seem to be everywhere.

Plenty of cracking shows currently being broadcast . The aforementioned Happy Valley and The Night Manager are fantastic, then there's The People Vs OJ Simpson, Murder and Line Of Duty is returning soon. That's just on terrestrial TV.

Pink Floyd: 'Nobody's Home' from 'The Wall':

"I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from.
I've got electric light.
And I've got second sight.
And amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home."

Only 13!!!!

Maybe you should stay away from those mass consumption shows then.

Agreed there's nothing on during the day on terrestrial tv but Freeview has some decent stuff on from archive episodes of Morse to the Horror Channel. You could always read a book or play music rather than watch tv. That's what i do.

Besides with Freeview and Sky there's always something to watch.

Watching my way through Daredevil season 2. Not going to say much to avoid spoilers aside from it being terrific. The punisher stuff is the best bits of this season and I think it has the best screen Punisher so far in Jon Bernthal.

Arms deals in the desert....shit blows up...big style!!!

Definitely going to pick this up on dvd in a few months time and watch it in two sittings.

Inspired casting in Hugh Laurie. There's nothing quite as pretty as napalm at night.👍

Just watched episodes 3&4. Fuffin brilliant stuff. And yes Jon Bernthal makes for an excellent punisher.
