His wardrobe choices are a sight to behold too. Pastel green blazer with yellow strides? Go on then.

 

I think he suits the travel format as he's fairly restrained, but personable. It's a lovely little show that potters along and sticks to the facts, rather than 360 degree pans of the presenter saying "wow!".

 

Like Patrick Moore, to the right of Genghis Khan, but you'd probably enjoy a chat if you steered clear of politics.

I think it's an excellent program and Portillo comes across as warm, genuine and decent.

 

Boggles the mind that he was part of such a cunt government.

They are good at shape shifting.

The last series of the sopranos was absolute dog shit. Couldn’t wait for it to end. 
 

Pine Barrens is not THAT good 

Last series of the sopranos was fantastic. Sopranos home movies, stage 5, the blue comet were all as good as anything before them.

Pine barrens was good but not even the best episode of series 3 which was another toothpick.

You forget yourself, sir.

 

The best episode of season 3 is University, when Ralphie beats Tracee(the stripper) to death.

 

There simply is no excuse for him disrespecting the Bing like that.

 One of the Vietnamese cable TV channels has just finished running all of the Jeremy Brett  series of Sherlock. The only thing worth watching on about 20 English language channels.

Anyone wanting to see how Sherlock was done properly can see them on Youtube

I've seen a few of them and not bad as it goes, he seems to be on something though and wasn't his side kick on that show from Liverpool?

David Burke was born in Liverpool, played one series as Watson. His son is Tom Burke (C B Strike).

Jeremy Brett uses a lot of camp mannerisms as Holmes, who in the novels was off his Victorian tits on cocaine most of the time.

I am a big fan of Wheeler Dealers. I find the whole thing very relaxing, watching them change a clutch on a rusty old Jaguar whilst I am doing the ironing takes me to a calm place in my head

I could sit and watch stuff like that on Blaze all day. American Pickers and Storage Wars are great as well.

That's right, I think he died not long ago? Brett was gay though, he just had a look about him that suggested he was on something to me, I thought he was good in that role.

It’s back from the welders but within days of being home, it’s developed a hole in the exhaust. I’m thinking of bodging it with a bit of Gun Gum repair paste from Halfords. 

My late dad never came across a single situation he felt could not be fixed with duck tape , and I never saw him happier than when  I told him about superglue.

Fuck WD40, Plusgas is what you want.

The Browning Version with Michael Redgrave is superb along with Robert Donat in the Wilmslow Boy, let right be done. 

Ive nothing to be ashamed of. 

[General Dryness]

I love the old Godzilla movies. And the new ones. And Pacific Rim. Anything with big monsters and/or robots.

 

However, whilst I know theres a lot of anime with kaiju and mecha, I'm just not a big fan of cartoons. So I don't watch those.

Gogglebox is invaluable. It provides me with my an insight, albeit the briefest of ones, into programmes that otherwise wouldn’t be on my radar, and gives me something else to moan about.

Piers Morgan is excellent in Killer Women on Netflix. I really hate the bastard but he is perfect for this. 

 

All 5 are boss, episode 2 is horrific/mental, the murderer in episode 4 is fucking beautiful (well she is now after 15 odd years in the joint) and the killer in episode 5 is genuinely fucking terrifying how manipulative and warped she is. If you haven't seen them then absolutely give them a go.

She's got her own feature length documentary. Its about 8 hours long with pausing.

I record a Place in the Sun. Jasmine, Laura, Scarlett, sunshine and usually a pair of fussy cunts who want a pool, sea views, roof terrace, outdoor space, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms for 40 pence or some twats with a 400 grand budget but want to live in a place were you need an 800 grand budget so look at villas that look like crack dens, where if they just forgot the trendy place they could have a mansion in a place just as beautiful.

It should be called Cunts in the Sun and the presenters should do have to do it in the scud. I'd stay up late for it like.

You need to be careful, I had Ben Hillman on a couple of times.

Happened to me once that too. I had to have my late afternoon wank over a 1930's Coca Cola sign that the American Pickers found in someones shed in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. 

 

To tell you the truth it wasn't the worst wank I've ever had.

She's just had Eastenders on. I ended up watching it. Fuck me that was some powerful shit.

There's a surprisingly entertaining daytime dating show called Dress To Impress. Three blokes compete to buy clothes for a woman they've never met (with a sarcastic Come Dine With Me style commentary).  It's good for the self-esteem to see these young blokes, full of confidence, failing spectacularly, because they're fundamentally shit.
