What are you watching tonight?

[TrenterPercenter]

Never watched the US Office and it's all on Netflix so I'm binge watching it for the first time!

[Sebastian Cobb]

might not watch a film now, been half watching some Northern Exposure.

[bakabaka]

A Very Peculiar Practice.

Needed cheering up with some escapism so this seemed an obvious choice. Turns out that it's full of references to current events; tonight's episode is called Contact Tracer. Not quite as escapist as I had hoped.

[Norton Canes]

The one with a young Hugh Grant?

[garbed_attic]

Rewatched the Sarah and Lizzie pilot. I still think it should have been picked up. I remember C&B used to be largely sneary about Julia Davis. Sally4eva wasn't great and the second series of Nighty Night is all over the place, but Human Remains and the first series of Nighty Night are impeccable and I love Hunderby to bits. She's the closest thing Britain has to a comedy auteur after Chris Morris.

[Jittlebags]

I'm going to watch the Masterchef final in a bit on IPlayer, unless it never aired due to ongoing 24/7 Duke of Eninb-eurghhhh tributes. It's not like the 'tributes' you get on porn websites either for that matter.

[mobias]

Been re-watching a lot of I'm Alan Partridge recently on Netflix and had noticed Alpha Papa was now on iPlayer so I've just finished watching that. Its just not very good is it? I mean what were they thinking with the story line? I can't believe enough people thought that plot was a good idea.

[Ambient Sheep]

Talking Pictures is going to be showing Doomwatch (the 1972 film) in just over ten minutes.

[Jittlebags]

Dog-dirt. They have cancelled Masterchef as well. Bunch of cunts.

[Brian Freeze]

We went for a couple of episodes of Dinnerladies. The bastard is mentioned several times in the second episode. There is literally no escape. None.

[phes]

I'm watching Daria. And coincidentally, as Honks is, Neon Genesis Evangelion is next on my playlist. Not on Netflix though, cos im nails (and don't have Netflix)

It's days like this I'm glad that I'd rather dance open-mouthed under a hammering downpour of cuntbeak urea than watch the bbc

[Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse]

Just watched PhilosophyTube's latest video. Playing Facebook games like a filthy casual now. Might finish Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege later.

[bakabaka]

The one with a young Hugh Grant?

Indeed. It was quite a surprise when his face popped up. And more of a surprise when his Scottish(ish) accent followed.

[idunnosomename]

crapped in a pint glass and gazed at it longingly.

[Dex Sawash]

Watching King Arthur something Sword something. It is very very bad, so far.

[Magnum Valentino]

Been re-watching a lot of I'm Alan Partridge recently on Netflix and had noticed Alpha Papa was now on iPlayer so I've just finished watching that. Its just not very good is it? I mean what were they thinking with the story line? I can't believe enough people thought that plot was a good idea.

The script wasn't finished the day shooting started and Brendan Gleeson quit the week before because he could see it was going that way.

[xxxx xxx x xxx]

Last time I Iistened to Late Junction Verity Sharpe was still on it. Take it she's long gone?

No, she's still doing it, alternates with Jennifer Lucy Allen these days.

[greencalx]

Friday Night is Jonathan Creek night for us. It was the one with Jack Dee last night. Not seen him in a straight role before.

[Jockice]

My Facebook post from last night. And even Six Music are still playing the maudlin stuff this morning. So it's my music player (current track Papa Crack/God's Lonely Man by The Mighty Wah!) until 1pm. If they've cancelled Pick Of The Pops I'll be very very angry.

"I'm currently watching Nothing To Declare on the telly. I love those customs programmes and there's not much else on tonight for some reason.
I put Absolute Radio on earlier and even they were going on about you know who, saying he 'broke many records.' Including all the decent ones they were going to play by the sound of it.
I've never heard such a maudlin collection of crap in my life. At one point there was an instrumental version of Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want. Without the lyrics by noted monarchy lover Morrissey. They could at least have asked him to write new words like Elton did that time. Given Mozzer's recent statements him and Phil did seem to have a common interest in racism. "See the luck I've had can make a white man's eyes turn slitty."
But maybe he just didn't want to Marr anyone's mourning. Or collect the royalties."

[Crabwalk]

I watched the insanely violent Indonesian Yakuza gore-fest The Night Comes For Us on Netflix. Very satisfying.

[SpiderChrist]

I watched (and am still watching) BBC1 because I am a patriot. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

[greencalx]

R3 seems to be back to normal this morning. Regular presenter and presenting style. I mean I suppose it could still be respectfully low key but with R3 that's going to be difficult to know.

[buttgammon]

Just checked the listings to see if MOTD is going to be on as normal tonight and it looks like BBC One are going back to normal later after they've shown the rugby league this afternoon. Surely showing identical wall-to-wall coverage on two channels all day yesterday was a total overreaction even by their standards?

[Blue Jam]

I watched Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood starring Brad Pitt and Sproutface. Even Now TV had Prince Philip docos on the homepage.

[checkoutgirl]

I watched The Invisible Man (2020) which was an above average trancetastic potboiler.

Night before I watched The Servant (1963) which I believe Harold Pinter was in.

Also recently enjoyed gritty man bank robbery style film The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) with Robert Mitchum and Peter Boyle.

Surely showing identical wall-to-wall coverage on two channels all day yesterday was a total overreaction even by their standards?

Quite. I understand that the Mail with its 114 pages of "magical" coverage would be down the BBC's throat (with the government and their threats of defunding not far behind) if they hadn't been "sufficiently" respectful, but I don't see what would have been disrespectful about, say, devoting BBC1 to placating the royalists and putting the highlights of 1&2 onto BBC2.

At the same time, though, I'm a bit bemused by the reaction of the "haven't watched live TV since 2002 and binned off my licence fee years ago" crowd to one night of cancelled live output.

[checkoutgirl]

Also a shit load of Sopranos clips on youtube, to the point that Tony Soprano made an appearance in my dream last night.

And Mr Show clips.

I spit on your spit.
I piss on your spit.
I shit on your piss.
I fart on your shit.
I laugh at your fart.
We are friends again hey!!

Last night's 7-11pm audience figures compared to previous Friday:

BBC1: -6%
ITV: -60%
BBC2: -65%
C4: -8.5%

Gogglebox at 4.2m the most watched show of the day - BBC 1, BBC2 and ITV together got 3.4m at 9pm.

[buttgammon]

Even if you loved the royals, what would be the point in watching the rolling coverage all day and night? It must get very repetitive, because it's not like there's going to be much news after a death. When Bowie died, I spent the day listening to his music rather than watching TV coverage; why can't royalists do something similar, like listening to his old racisms?

[phes]

I fucking LOVE Gogglebox but it's going to be unwatchable next week. It doesn't matter how many kids they nonce or racisms they do, everyone seems to default back to being at least accepting of the royals. It's all so transient for people. It's the same with animal rights. They'll watch an Attenborough show and be reduced to tears, then dry up and order a KFC
