Taskmaster Season 16 is ramping up, as is Survivor and Amazing Race.

I like Greg Davies, but Taskmaster has got a quite boring, quite samey, quite quickly! 

[Zzzptm]

Not so much for me, I enjoy the different approaches to problem solving in it. I also think that the last 4 seasons have been some of the best competition, especially season 14 with Dara O'Brien applying his smarts to just about everything and cleaning up. Sara Millican did a runner-up job so good, it would have won in other seasons.

I will neither confirm nor deny that I have a spreadsheet where I track this stuff...

Just started watching Downton Abbey
I like some more aspects of it but it does have it's problems
Watched season 4 and just recently found the whole series on DVD
Anyone here a fan?

[Vyn]

I am a fan by adjacency. My wife watched all of them, and the movie (maybe two movies?) As a consequence, I've seen quite a few of them!

I have to say I never got into it...not my cup of tea these types of shows...at all.

[Zzzptm]

I liked Carson the best. I gravitate toward resonant voices.

But damn if it doesn't gloss over a good deal of pain endured by "staff" in order to cater to the whims and wishes of their lords and masters. It shows some pain, yes, but in ever so pretty of a way. I enjoyed watching it and then going back and doing further reading on the time period.

Period dramas are not really my thing. But the girlfiend likes the show and the films and has them all on DVD.

James May's Our Man In.... just started a new season and this time he is in....INDIA!

Based on the first episode things are looking very good once again.

[Zzzptm]

Ah good that he's started! I'm in on Mr. May!

[Charger]

Well I just finished!

It was only 3 episodes! Shame on Amazon to reduce the episode numbers so badly and on a country like India where there would be enough stuff to fill 30 episodes!

But as usual it was great fun....and some real laugh out loud moments with James again!

[Zzzptm]

Oh, only 3? I'll set expectations accordingly, then.

The "Dave" channel here in the UK shows (among other programs) repeats of Top Gear. Just tuned in today and they are showing the very first episode with the rebooted format from about 2002! They don't usually go back that far!

I don't think I've seen it before but Harry Enfield is the first ever Star in the Reasonably Priced Car. I think The Stig wears black in this series (but I haven't seen him yet!) and James May hasn't joined yet, the 3rd member is some fat guy called Jason Dawe! The show is far more factual than we became used to!

[Charger]

I don't think I've ever seen those early Top Gear episodes...I think the show started here around season 5....might be mistaken...been so long. But May was with the group from the start here that's for sure.

Star channel is showing some of those early ones on reruns every now and then..


Well I've been waiting for Reacher season 2 to finish so I can start watching and the final episode arrives in Prime this friday so I think I'll be kicking it off tonight! The first season was nothing short of amazing so I have extremely high hopes for this one too!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I think James May and White Stig arrived with series 2.
