Night Twigs!

Some positive feedback on Twitter - mostly from men

That's because they couldn't stand the competition, I guess.

Lots of comments about it being 'the new 24'...

..says it all really.

Have given into temptation and tweeted my opinion that it's disappointing crap.

Sure that'll make me popular...

Have you seen next week's TV listings? Apparently he's narrating something called Fraud Squad on ITV1. Is that new or has it just passed me by before?

What I don't understand is if they wanted a new 24 why didn't they mke a new show entirely rather than demolish something that worked so well for a lot of people,

I'ts as though the Powers That Be have this inner urge to destroy anything remotely popular.

The new 24?

The 'new JP' character is rubbish - ooh look, he's such a stud, he's such an action man but he's got his soft side too, just see how nice he is to small children. FFS.

LordD seems fairly engrossed however, though he does watch any old crap .

Ooooh, interesting. I could probably sneak that in under Mr Spiro's radar - he likes that sort of stuff .

The one upside to Strikeback was the playing of the Sky Sports ad in every commercial break with The Man narrating!

Am off for bath and bed now anyway.

See you at party tomorrow !!!!

I wonder how it would have gone if RA hadn't had to rescind on his contract, whether the rot was already in the scripts and the changes in production team. JP in the first series was never going to be like this new guy. How much of it would they have to have rewritten?

Night Spiro, and sweet dReAms. Again

Interesting point, LadyD. I've just been wondering what Chris Ryan makes of it all.

I've just been drooling over RAnet making up for missed ReseArch over the last fortnight and not-very-accidently changed the desktop picture to a JT pic. Oops. I wonder if LordD will notice ::whistles innocently::

Well, that was a disappointingly short appearance . I watched the whole thing anyway but was slightly appalled at the blatantly misogynistic sex scenes which were graphic, coarse and unnecessary. Even Mr Small was a bit at them.

Not sure if I'll continue to watch or not.

My outfit is ironed and ready to go, see you tonight, ladies!

Did any of you see on Twitter that someone asked Stephen Fry to wish The Man a happy birthday from all his UK fans and SF replied "will do - we have just had a nice dinner together", or something...

Why is The Man having dinner with Stephen Fry?

I guess you've got to do something on your birthday and if you're 12,000 miles away from your family and get on with your colleagues you're going to celebrate with them.

birthday fanvid from bccme.

Haven't watched it yet as on phone.

Is Stephen Fry in the Hobbit?

link is not working Spiro, I'll go and trawl her channel.

Hopefully will work. Great vid .

Yes, he's in the Hobbit. And I believe a lot of the cast aren't back from the summer break yet.

I was going to post the vids for everyone tonight. There is another one, too, by the woman who makes them every year:

I haven't watched either yet, as children running around me and I need to concentrate. I got halfway through the first one but then DD came in and went "oooooooh, Richard Armitage!!" in a sarcastic way, so I switched off :)

Yes, Small, SF is in The Hobbit.

Mr & Miss S have just gone into town...mwahhahaha!!!!

Uh oh, that's Spiro done for the day!
