    She's sent me upstairs because she's watching a CSI that I've seen

    I get this terrible and irresistible urge to tell her what's going to happen next

      Only you don't go upstairs do you? It's all piecing together in a CSI kind of way.

          Should the BBC really be wasting license payers money on this crap?
          No. But for some reason it is widely thought that, having given the BBC a non-commercial source of funding, its success should then be judged on audience share, i.e. the more like a commercially-funded network it becomes, the better. I don't understand it.

            Maybe I'll get flamed for this but my two kids really enjoyed it, but of harmless fun and a lot better than X factor stuff

              Perhaps the real question is why the BBC are scheduling kids programmes in a prime-time slot.
              Because they want adults to watch it with their sprogs, thus getting the family audience, and sell it to the States for a lucrative ROI.

              By the way, Richard Wilson is in it with an unconvincing wig. FFS.

                I watched two episodes of Vanity Fair back to back yesterday afternoon on BBC Prime. Worth the license fee (if I had to buy one) on its own.

                  Some of the older programmes are brilliant. Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin and Karaoke being just two of them.
                  There really isn't anything of this calibre being made any more

                  Vanity Fair.. not something that I would watch but I remember that series and the quality in writing and acting was there.
                  Try watching its modern equivalent, Tudors... another pile of absolute toss

                    Agreed. Watched "Elizabeth R" (the one with Glenda "Scraggy Stoat" Jackson) on one of the freebie channels last week - THAT'S how it should be done... proper acting, reasonably in-tune-with-the-facts plots, no tw@tty sexed-up w@nk.
