Probably thinks it's a holodeck.

Murder In Successville. The funniest thing I've seen in a while, each episode is an improvised murder mystery featuring DI Sleet and a random celebrity as his sidekick.

Here's the first episode.

finished a couple of more seasons. season 1 of Magnum and season 2 of Buffy- which is a great improvement on the first season with the introduction of spike and drusilla, Giles dark past and Angel transformation back to Angelus

I've watched the first few episodes of The Owl Service, for those who don't know an adaptation of a children's book for Granada TV in 1969, on dvd by Network.
It amazes me the quality of these shows which were intended for children back then but are far too grown up for kids of today. Even 2 episodes in I can tell I'm going to love this and I'm looking forward to watching a load of them tomorrow, it's just a shame there are only 8 episodes.

I watched the whole fifth Assignment of Sapphire and Steel last night.

Utterly brilliant and compelling viewing. Weird and wonderful and a riff on the Ten Little Indians story.

If anyone wants a recommendation for something to get from the Network sale then Sapphire and Steel would be it... and The Night Has Eyes obviously.

Recently been re-watching Greg Davies sitcom Man Down,just absolutely brilliant,haven't laughed so much since gran fell in the septic tank,and it was nice to see Rik Mayal doing what he does best,sheer lunacy.

BRIAN: The last time you said that you asked me which one of The Muppets my wife's vagina most looked like!

DAN: I know... and you said Gonzo... all purple... all messy thick tufts.

At a ridiculously late hour - 3am - i decided i'd give the second series of Black Sails a go.

It's been almost 18 months since i watched the first series and i wasn't sure i'd get into it immediately. However i was wrong. Some terrific plotting put all the characters in exciting situations and i was torn about turning it off at 5:10am to go to bed.

I've always liked the idea of pirate lore and the Caribbean, so a series with a decent budget, familiar pirates - Vane, Silver, Calico Jack, Anne Bonney etc - healthy amounts of shagging, lashings of violence and sea battles - was always something i'd love and it's a prequel to Stephenson's Treasure Island.

Way better than Game of Thrones in my opinion.

Funny enough around the same time last night i went up to the loft and watched an excellent episode of Thriller. A Place To Die, an excellent excursion into satanic cult/wicker man territory.
