Ah yes. Emmeroid Farm, Constipation Street and Nobenders - the one with all the cockneys SHAAAAAATIN AT EEECHATHA!!!

All the TV equivelent of sticking ones fingers down ones throat.

I do like Top Gear. Mrs M! and I like to watch Dr Who, Merlin and Torchwood, but we don't seem to do much telly these days.

I've always liked comedy, but have not watched much since Angus Deaton left Have I Got News For You. I stopped watching South Park at about the same time.

I really like to settle down in front of a right good science (mainly cosmology), archeology or engineering history documentary, as well as stuff about both World Wars. I'm a big big fan of Prof' Brian Cox. Also, the Horizon(?) thing about Nutrinos possibly exceeding the speed of light got the old juices going - CERN just repeated the experiment, tightening up all the parameters and got the same result.

I love 'Not going out' with Lee Mac and Tim Vine, Top gear is a firm favorite but currently watching children in need

Mongrels is back!! I'll also eyeball any music doc- there was a cracker on last week with Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, and an oddball one earlier this week with Rick Stein eating his way through the delta meeting some great bluesmen- he shook the hand of BB King!!!! Other than that it's Buzzcocks, Family Guy, and American Dad, and Shameless when it's on.

Misfits! Best thing on the box. Ever.

Mr Rusty, did you see the George Harrison documentary last weekend? A right good watch.

I had the good fortune to see half of a Ravi Shankar concert about 20 years back (half because of some twerp who still deserves a severe beating for driving like a complete numpty, ensuring we were late).

No, I missed the George Harrison one, but it'll be back on again,that's the joy of freeview talking of complete numptys though, I remember years ago John Peel playing a live Elvis Costello semi-bootleg, live at El Mocambo, an absolute cracker totally ruined by someone in the audience whooping all the way through- it's available now on cd but still with the whooping I was driving home from work a while back tho with Danny Baker's show on BBC London on the radio, and he played a demo tape of 'Red shoes' that elvis had given him before he released 'Less than Zero'- Danny Baker had kept this tape for years and years, and played it one night on his drivetime show.....it was wonderful, really raw but at the same time such a great song, complex yet simple.

I've only ever walked out of 2 gigs. One (Courtney Pine) was because of a terrible mix. The other (Bill Nelson) was because of an ignorant audience constantly going out to the bar and letting the doors slam closed.

Sorry you missed George Harrison, but there's still time for you to catch George Formby tonight - bit of a petrol head was George.
