To think Saturday night telly is shit?

[ssd]

Jason manford is fucking dreadful on bbc1

The voice is way past its best

Telly is utter shite

Agree

TFFN

(Thank Fuck For Netflix)

Currently settling down to the new series of Sex Education

Agree. It’s been shit for a very long time.

That's why you have Sky! Cant remember last time I watched 'live' TV. Its box sets or on demand.

All Telly is shit.

I'm watching Michael Burke on the Clifton Suspension Bridge - feels like a Monday.

That Jason Manford game show was so naff that I weirdly enjoyed it

Totally agree. Have just started watching 'You' on Netflix. Episode one looks good so far.

YANBU. This is why I let DH have free rein with the remote at weekends. What a thoughtful, reasonable wife I am. He's bingeing on Netflix.

Enjoyed The Greatest Dancer earlier.

I have just said those exact words to DH - Satoday night telly is shit.

We are watching some shit film on 4.

Agreed - can't remember the last time I watched something on a Saturday night.

I like something with a story to it -enjoyed Downton Abbey when that was on. Loving Silent witness at the moment (but not on Saturdays!).

We tend to watch DVDs -either films or box sets of a series.

Jason Manford is the best of the worst IMO. Everything else is just unwatchable tripe. Well, except for Pointless.

I agree OP
Currently watching series 1 episode 1 of London's Burning. Used to be prime time weekend viewing in the 80s

Does it matter what's on when anymore?

We can now watch what we want, when we want and 'Saturday night telly' can be anything you want it to be.

So no wonder they don't bother putting anything worth watching on any more, although I did enjoy Pointless Celebrities earlier, which due to some dancing shite programme, had been put back until the actual 'Saturday night telly slot' as it didn't start until after 7.30.

Yes Pointless is excellent.

Not even Dad's Army tonight which I quite like

Even resorted to watching Guitar heroes from circa 79 which was dreadful too

Terrible and has been for years. Never watch tv on Sat nights.

I think you need to watch the masked singer on ITV.........................

Yes it is. A lot of TV is rubbish though!

It is DREADFUL.

I started watching Game of Thrones again from the beginning.

I recall Saturday tv as a kid, all family gathered around. Things on like Gladiators, Family Fortunes, Blind date etc. It might’ve been lame at times but all ages could watch it and they had members of the public on so it felt relatable. These days it’s all z-list celebs and the same old commercial rubbish.
Same goes for kids programmes - fun house, live and kicking, Keenan and Kal, sm:tv live, The fresh prince etc. Those were the good old days. Sigh.

I've got something on 5+1 with Tony Robinson and the Georgians. About to turn over to 4+1 and some movie

But Saturday night is crap especially wit h snooker taking up the whole of bbc2 up

I don't think it's very good. I like Casualty and watched The Voice tonight but stuff that was on earlier was banal.

Those were the good old days
The likes of the shite formerly known as Blind Date are what killed off Saturday night tv imo.

Yup. Been through all 500 or whatever channels on sky , then Netflix and find duck all that appeals to me that I haven’t already watched
