Favourite TV programmes

Half the people that get 4 yeses have been shipped in from abroad.

I reckon they get a bulk deal and fly in all the Japanese on one flight.
Now I'm watching a German(?) LED lightshow act that just got a golden buzzer. And seen it done before.
Now everything is described as 'sensational' and never seen that before. When it's not new and seen it done better before.

Would I lie to you is brilliantly funny, IF you believe thay have no idea what is on the card.

About 2 weeks ago Lee Mack made up a brilliant untrue story about why he was thrown out of a swimming pool. It was so good I can hardly believe it wasn't rehearsed !

I think Lee McKillop is quite quick-witted, so I don't necessarily think they've seen the cards before, but knowing TV and you can't believe anything you see, you may well be right.

If you ever saw Rob Brydon's fake sitcom gameshow comedy, Annually Retentive, it showed how the researchers (played by Steve Furst) show the panellists questions/answers to get prepared comedy gags prewritten.

I think they may deliberately sometimes guess wrong, True/Lie, to create surprise drama and hilarity when the unbelievable or surprising facts are revealed.

Rob Brydon used to be on shopping TV.

Quite amusing - - took it apart and couldn't put it back together, and then another item fell apart

Together with the late Ross Davidson, Eastenders actor, who sadly passed from a brain tumour, aged 57 in 2006.

Great viewing for me tonight - Three Grand finals - Dancing on Ice, pottery throwdown and Crufts best in show. On a Sunday afternoon I always watch the Footage Detectives at 5pm on talking pictures tv. I stumbled across it a few months ago, and it's Mike Read and a guy called Noel who show clips of old footage from the 50's 60's and & 70's but it's so much more than that, old adverts, old crazes, old products and letters from people asking whether other viewers remember certain things - It's really entertaining!

Yes, a bit like the televisual equivalent of this random musings thread when it goes off on a nostalgia trip.

I enjoy the pottery and the crying when Keith is particularly taken with an artistic attempt.

What is it on TV with programmes insisting on an emotional backstory and the individual has to cry. Seen it on The Repair Shop, Dragons' Den, First Dates, BGT.

Gone are the days of men with stiff upper lips. Now you have to emote for good telly.
