Won't be of interest to many but looking forward to the new one of these. The last one with David Bentley in it was decent.
No idea who the American Football player is but most people would know of Steve Harmison.

I can't understand the new Scottish family on Gogglebox, especially the woman.
I ended up seeing that tonight. The Lawrie/Hiddleston thing looks like something I would have watched and now it's ruined.Originally Posted by Mahow
Also, Church would still get one after seeing her on The Last Leg.
Hour long Neighbours special for somebody getting deaded. THE MOST EXPLOSI... Stop right there. Some of us remember the plane crash.
That must be the lowest budget for an explosion on tv ever.
I saw the beginning of that as I was leaving my gran's. Since when is Toadfish a fucking lawyer?
Since about 2001.
I remember him being a pleb with a mullet. It must have been far longer than I thought since I last saw it.
Proper emergency services could have cut him out of that. Having one doctor has worked for twenty years, but it's fucked them here.
Apart from Toadfish, are any of the old crew still knocking around in it? Helen Daniels is probably still mooching about looking stern, I bet.
Why are some Simpsons randomly square and some not? The stupid black sides on the screen are annoying as fuck.
The older ones were shot in 4:3.
I've seen ones from series 21 shown like this though, and some not. The one on Sky One at the moment is from 19 and is square.
Checking Wiki, it says that The Simpsons only went to 4:3 in 2009.
The last episode in 4:3 was in series 20.
It also depends what TV you watch them on. Some will automatically adjust the older ones to fit the widescreen.
I think whether it is square or not is the last of a post-season 10 Simpsons episode's worries.
They're square if you watch them on Channel 4 HD.
Who died in Neighbours by the way?
I'm a twit
Bouncer.
Some pointless lad called Josh, who is (was) played by Steph Scully's actual in real life son. Finding that out might be the oldest thing that has ever happened to me.
Josh. He's the surprisingly buff nerdy one with a plastic face isn't he? RIP.

That pretty much describes them all (even Ringo, who was buff with an eating disorder), but yes. I stopped watching it for years, but I've got back into it now, and, whilst it's never going to hit the heights of 2004-2008 (looking back, I reckon Paul Robinson's shit Scottish kid ruined it), it's actually decent.
I watch it once or twice a week, depending on how often I visit my parents and think it's alright.
Steph is fitter than she ever was, but I'm not sure if that's cos she's not next to Holly Valance in every other scene, or whether it's because I'm an adult and fancy women now, or if she's actually improved.
Some parts are utter poo but it still has its charm.
I'm a twit
She must have had work done because she used to have a fierce ropey mannish head on her.
Anyone watching Masterchef?
Haven't caught too much but have it on series record.
On Australian rubbish, I see two episodes of Home and Away a week and they seem to have abandoned any pretense of it actually being a soap. It's basically a frothy crime drama.
It's still full of irresponsibly beautiful people, they just shoot eachother and set houses on fire now instead of cheating on eachother and going surfing.
Juanita looks like she's going to go on and win Masterchef.
That pork dish looked brilliant.
Anyone watch the first episode of 'The Jail: 60 Days In' in CI last night? Looks like it'll be good value going forward; one of the bods, a fucking thick cunt of a teacher, is on the verge of being done in already after spectacularly fucking up his entrance.
This twelve year old singing on Britain's Got Talent is good. Too good, in fact. To the point where it's a bit unnerving.
Peggy Mitchell is doing herself in, and things have gone a bit It's a Wonderful Life.
My gran went mental over Ben and the tart fucking off that stupid dinner last night. She wants 'that poof with the curly hair' done in for encouraging Ben to stay in the pub.
It's a bit much to bring Peggy and Grant back just so she can top herself. Is that really what they're doing?
Pretty much. Eastenders is boring.
At least it (probably) keeps your mum quiet for half an hour though.
My viewing stopped at Danny Dyer.
When Phil Mitchell and Richard Blackwood (the properly black one) were feuding as part of the big Christmas story, she came up with a theory that it would turn out that they were half-brothers, and I literally spent the next three months explaining why 'how things actually work' made that was impossible.
They did it seems. Absolutely bizarre route to take.
Last week Sonia Fowler had the line 'I love my boobs', Eastenders talk really should be in the Golden Age thread.
Watching that latest Louis Theroux documentary about people recovering from brain damage. That poor bastard with the brain damaged wife. You'd just be wishing she'd died in that situation.
There is a programme about fraternities on BBC2 now. Mert, mate. You're all bent.
Just about to post the same thing. Looks tragic thus far.
"Nearly half US presidents hail from a fraternity..."
I.e. less than half.
This pitch on Dragons Den is so stupid, especially as you can buy half sized pencils easily and they're in schools EVERYWHERE.
Oh or just steal them from IKEA or even just sharpen normal pencils down.
Been watching CBB for the first time in years. That Saira woman is AWFUL.
I noticed that was on last night.
Why can't they make reality TV shows that are decent? Like some sort of psychological experiment or something. Make a reality show of the Stanford prison experiment.
Big Brother started off seeming like a genuinely interesting psychological experiment. Throw some people together, isolate them from the world, and film the results. I think it had been on a couple of years before they started all the stupid stuff.
Yeah, I was kind of thinking back to it as well. The first seasons of it were okay. They just had normal people in it. Now it's only knobheads who are trying to become Z-list celebrities or in the case of the 'celebrity' version, actual Z-list celebrities.
Z-list is being kind to most of them in there.
That was the coolest thing about reality TV's faltering first steps. You had Big Brother, Castaway and that stupid Channel 4 one called Shattered where a house full of people had to stay awake for a fortnight RISKING ACTUAL DEATH!
I can't believe Big Brother is still a thing both here in the States and over there as well.
edit:
The first couple seasons of most reality "game" shows weren't bad.
Then you get all the "I'm basing my strategy off of..." shite and then the producers trying to force certain angles for the failing ratings.
