Are you a fan of the Shadow Circus song called Willoughby that was based on the Twilight Zone episode of the same name? Did you see the fan mash-up that linked the song to the TV episode? The band posted a link to it at one point here on PA. I'm not quite sure where it is at, but I thought that it was really cool.

I remeber you buying that and asking if you should. A few months ago I watched all my Red Dwarfs. Classic!

Don't expect too much and you'll not be disapointed... it never gets better, and doesn't get any worse until late in the series (i mean until later series), Pippa Haywood is brilliant as his wife... but she's even better in Green Wing.

Green Wing is sublime, but Jody already has seen all The Brittas Empires I think, Dean

Yeah,I have all 7 series of Brittas,but I think it goes downhill a bit after 4 or 5,and I disliked the way they ended it.

When Tennant quit Doctor Who me and my wife were discussing good candidates for the role and I thought Barrie might have made a good Doctor Who.

I'm glad they didn't. I think Matt Smith is the finest Doctor since Tom Baker, and possibly ever.

Being totally nuts for British tv me and my wife have assembled quite a large collection of dvd sets of the older,classic British series.Now we are starting to look into some recent stuff.Green Wing is very good(recommended to us by Ian).Do you guys like the show Outnumbered?

While I don't think he's the best ever,Smith is very,very good.Baker rules in my book though.

When it was rumoured that David Morrisey would get the part I was so pleased. he would have been a brilliant Doctor as his appearence as the false Doctor proved.

They started showing it here on PBS on Saturday night and we really dig it.I'm thinking about ordering the first series.Dennis and Skinner are wonderful,but the kids sometimes steal the show.I read that a large part of the show is improvised,is that true?

Yes. There is a general plot but the kids largely improvise to make it more natural

We have the 4th series burned,but not the set.I didn't know Linehan ended it,that's a shame.But O'Dowd is doing movies,Ayodade is starting to get some film roles and Parkinson is everywhere these days(really like here on Doc Martin).
