TV series

[nimrod]

Ive seen all the well known ones, my favourite was probably Sons Of Anarchy and Breaking Bad, can anybody recommend some good ones

[Lekos]

Couldn't get into Sons of Anarchy.  House of Cards is pretty good, Better Call Saul was OK.

[zacc]

Been watching an American one called Odyssey you may enjoy.
Here on beeb 2 not sure where you'd get it?

The Bridge - Denmark/Swedish one was excellent - up there with one of my fave noir type series.

As you know Nimmers, Breaking Bad is unsurpassable in every way, but a good runner up which is immersing, irritating and highly watchable AND makes you want to watch the entire series in one binge fest is, Damages with Glenn Close.  Also got an excellent Ted Danson in it.  Highly recommended, and the signature choon is annoyingly good too!  (It's on Netflix).

[Swiss]

I found breaking bad hit and miss. Was bloody long and drawn out in places, mainly the skylar story arc.

[reddishblue]

It was called telly in my day. The Outer Limits.

Mrs nimmers likes The Good Wife, have you seen that ?

Just checked it's on Netflix and it is, AND 5 seasons!  Will deffo try it Nimz and report back.

Goateee:  re-tried Always Sunny, but still 'didn't get it'!

Swiss:  Surprised at your lack of enthuse for BB - I've watched it circa 5 times now and love it.  Anyone spot the Cameo of Walt at Jesse's drug party - was deffo him as one of his druggie mates.
I also found, as I don't concentrate enough, that reading the indepth storylines for each episode really helps.  For instance I didn't notice that it was Mike who had injected the legless Twin at the hossie to finish him off - it literally showed a  two second screen shot of Mike putting something in a bin.
I've probably missed loads more stuff - but hey! 

[Swiss]

There are characters that I did like:

Obvs Walt
I liked Gus
Hank I thought was an engaging character, liked his DEA storyline with the Turtle episode...

After series 2 didn't much care for Jessie

I honestly don't know. It's an HBO series so I don't know if they are in business together.

[Dizzy]

You're brave nimmers.  I lived near Swansea for 6 years and to say they are anti-English is to put it mildy! 

Not that our Cardiffian Goateee is particularly anti-English - he's anti-everyone.... 

[goat]

the welsh annoy me more than the english do dizz

could be worse, could be a yank

We used to go there a lot Dizz, North Wales is only 40 minutes from Stockport on the M56, love the place, Snowden, Criccieth, Llandudno, Llyn Peninsula is like Cornwall, anyway Im Australian (when it suits)and like the French, they dont hate us

Seriously though we never had a problem with people there, its full of English anyway, would buy in Cornwall but its too dear

[Dizzy]

That's fair enough Nimmers - I guess we all speak as we find and it is a different part of Wales completely.  Have to say, most Welsh people are hilarious, insane, funny and welcoming, it was just 'the few' that ruined it for me.

[Swiss]

How'd you get on with that linky Diz?

[Dizzy]

Just tried it today thanks Swiss.  Watched the first episode of GoT and will watch a few more before I get addicted or nonplussed!

btw, do you know of a linky which has Peaky Blinders Series 2?

Thanks, 

[goat]

That goat thingy doesnt exist Dizzo, he's just a figment of Brendans imagination which morphasised into an entity that we think we can see

[goat]

explains the smell of piss and boiled sweets

[nimrod]

this is ok

http://dlcartoonhd.com/mobile/

I connect my tablet to the tv

[Swiss]

Not looked for Peaky blinders, not especially interested in it.

I'm sure there's a torrent if one of the other's links don't work out for you

[Dizzy]

Hahaa Nimmers, I'm getting a bit of an unwelcome image of a morphed goat/Brendan!

Peaky Blinders was great. Not on iplayer at the mo but I'm sure it will be before the next series is on.

[Dizzy]

I hope Series 2 goes out on Netflix or iPlayer before Series 3 starts.  Again, I missed it first time round, have seen Series 1 and found it extremeley well acted and written etc.  My threshold for violence seems to have increased successfully since Breaking Bad, though I still find it very traumatising.  Must be a man-thang to enjoy the violence side.

[gavin]

They showed series 1 again on BBCTV before showing series 2. I would imagine they'd do same or at least put it on iplayer before series 3

[Ludo]

Started watching Witnesses last week, a sort of Gallic Noir. Looks good so far.

Some of you are old enough to remember The Sweeney.
Was it an episode or a full length movie, where there was a brilliant bit of acting/dialogue from Jack....
he opens the glove compartment and discovers an apple, and he rants at the new vegetarian driver, that he wants it back filled with ham sandwiches and mars bars....  I want to see that clip again - I haven't seen it for 30 years plus!!!
Anyone got a good memory?

[nimrod]

Im too young dizzy luv x

[goat]

did you ever finish oz dizz?

[Dizzy]

Cheeky Nimmers - come on bet you remember some of it!

Just before arresting some twonk, Jack says 'we're the Sweeney son and we 'aven't 'ad any dinner - brilliant!!!

Also the often repeated, 'shut it'.

I'm going to have to watch it all, but where to find it??

@goat - Oz was too violent for me, it just didn't have much good news going in it did it?  Might re-try Always Sunny  though! :-)

[nimrod]

Yeah I used to watch it sometimes but cant remember much at all it was in the 70's

I was out every night 

Good series but the film they made recently was crap

[goat]

@goat - Oz was too violent for me, it just didn't have much good news going in it did it?  Might re-try Always Sunny  though! :-)

No, I'm not familiar with that, is it on Netflix?

Am enjoying The Good Wife, particularly as Big from Sex and the City is in it. :-)

My missus loves Homeland.

I like NCIS. It's entertaining and undemanding.

A bit like the missus if I'm honest!

[Dizzy]

Not really sure Nim, I think there are other alternatives, such as Amazon Prime do something now, and I think BT do something - but really there's so much - it's all over load isn't it....

Definitely recommend



Question;
Why is it legal to record free to air TV on a VCR or HD recorder but illegal to download a show that has been on free to air TV ?

[Ludo]

It took me a while to get round to the Sopranos as well, but if I'd known it was so tongue in cheek and funny I'd have watched it years ago.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Question;
Why is it legal to record free to air TV on a VCR or HD recorder but illegal to download a show that has been on free to air TV ?

Because when you watch (and record it) from a TV transmission the creators of the show have been paid for their creation (by the TV company, its advertisers etc) "Free to Air" TV might be free to you, but the programmes they show have been paid for.

If you illegally down load it the programme creators don't get a cent.

Thanks M'lud, I get what youre saying

but if its been on free to air already the creators have been paid for it and cant reasonably expect any further money after its been thrown out into the public domain

I mean I could record it and give it to somebody who didnt watch it when it was broadcast, so would they be watching it illegally, seeing as theyre not paying for it ?

[Rowley Birkin QC]

but if its been on free to air already the creators have been paid for it and cant reasonably expect any further money after its been thrown out into the public domain

Well that's the point - they do expect further money. These shows are expensive to make.

I mean I could record it and give it to somebody who didnt watch it when it was broadcast, so would they be watching it illegally, seeing as theyre not paying for it ?

I'm no expert on copyright law, but my understanding is that would be illegal.

You home record - for home use. You can show your friend the recording in your house - that's OK - but you can't give him a copy to take away!  There are also limits (I think) on how many people you could show the recording to at any one time in your house before the event would becoming legally defined as a "Public Performance" - at which point you'd be breaking the law again!

Always been a grey area this one. In the UK back in the 50's and 60's you were supposed to pay for a licence before you could home record anything off the radio. I can remember my dad - always conscientious - had one, for his large classical music library of reel-to-reel tapes he recorded off Radio 3. But when cassette recorders came along everyone could easily record everything and the UK government eventually gave up the licence as unenforceable and unworkable. 

[nimrod]

Yes a grey area

Like Uber taxi's

[reddishblue]

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Sopranos is awesome. His mams a dick though. Especially when they computerised her head.

[goat]
