Was flicking thru the channels inbetween the cricket and a british doco series called coppers was on and they were doing crowd control at the city ground when they were hosting us. Pretty much focused on the Leicester fans and escorting them to the station etc looked like it got a little heated at one point. Not sure when the game was but it was at the Nottingham on a Saturday arvo and it finished nil all.

Breaking Bad is good but certaintly not the best series i've ever watched some parts things just seem to coincidentally just work out too perfectly and doesn't make it believable. That said i do enjoy watching it and got my dad hooked too......which is hard too do.

Watching Stripes. A couple of funny moments but very predictable typical American army/cadet sel praising story. A group of raw recruits and a nasty sarge. The recruits are rubbish and joke about. Then lo and behold they have to be ready for a special event. In the end they will all pass with flying colours holding the American flag high and be brilliant soldiers willing to die for the American way of life

You can tell all this by the military music that keeps being played.

1. Nil all?

2. It needs to 'coincedentally' work out sometimes for the greater good of the series. You need to specify these particular points though-spoilers may be needed!

Each season is better than the last. Looking back, season 1 is a bit of a slow burner. It's good, but compared to what comes, it's nothing more than an aperitif before the main meal.

Just finished Season 4.

You weren't wrong at all, one of the best things I've seen for years, having to sign up for Netflix now to watch Series 5.

It is epic!!

It sounds like you've done exactly what I did. It would be getting late, I know I've got to get up early in the morning but............"just one more"

I started watching season 5 again last night (half of it anyway), so watched the last programme of season 4, just to remind me exactly where I was up to.

I think I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time I saw it......even though I knew what was coming. There are so many subtleties, that they may get missed the first time round. The whole thing just doesn't seem to follow any pattern I've seen before. It goes from one extreme to the other & there have been quite a few moments that have left me physically in shock & genuinely upset. I've found myself involuntarily shouting at the TV......"no f**king way!!"......"you can't do that!!"........."don't just f**king stand there you cu*t!!".

Exactly where I am, I watched episode 10 of Season Three at 11pm and that was it, didn't get to sleep until well gone 2am. It was impossible to put down. Series Four even worse, finished it in two days.

I'll watch it again after I've done the first half of five, like you say in these sort of shows you quite simply dont see everything once.

Spoiler alert below!

Know what you mean on the last point! lol When Gus came out of Salamanca's room and appeared to be ok I shouted '**** off' at the screen. Absolutely brilliant scripture and directing when the camera panned round.

There's so many moments it could be referring to.

I was thinking in particular about Jane. I know she had her problems, but I'm still not over it :cry:

Family Guy

Billy the Fish (dolphin) is sitting on the toilet.

Peter walking in the bathroom in a robe. 'Hey are you stooling? in the bathroom?

Billy 'Yes where else am I supposed to do it.?

Ricky Gervais was in it.
