The "Ab Fab" girls are back ( Absolutely Fabulous ) . A few specials only . The 1st of which was shown in the UK on Xmas day . Good for a laugh .

 

For those of you who like your "Westerns" , there's a brand new series called "Hell on Wheels" set immediately after the Civil war . It centres on the building of the Trans Continental Railroad by the Union Pacific Company ............... Tough , Gritty and pulls no punches . Here's the IMDb link ..............

Great...i LOVE Westerns

Came across a good new comedy called "Episodes" about a British couple who have a successful comedy in the UK . The plot revolves around the "American" version of the show with the lead played by Matt LeBlanc ( who is somewhat miscast as a Headmaster of an elite boys academy ) .

It has been nominated for a Grammy award for best comedy series . Worth a look .

Just finished watching American: The Bill Hicks Story. A very funny, very clever man.

Still on iView for anyone interested.

Great man, gone too soon.

There are a couple of good reads about him, American Scream by Cynthia True and Agent of Evolution by his mate Kevin Booth.

Someone should start a Doco thread.

The Sunday Best series has been a real eye opener for me. Just a brilliant collection of documentaries.

The last doco on Anvil was pretty good.

Another good doco. SBS is rerunning the series the Staircase.

Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, presents a gripping courtroom thriller, offering a rare and revealing inside look at a high-profile murder trial. In 2001, author Michael Peterson was arraigned for the murder of his wife Kathleen, whose body was discovered lying in a pool of blood on the stairway of their home. Granted unusual access to Peterson's lawyers, home and immediate family, de Lestrade's cameras capture the defense team as it considers its strategic options. "The staircase" is an engrossing look at contemporary American justice that features more twists than a legal bestseller.

You can watch Part 1 & 2 in full on Google Video. I think it's an 8 part series.

Excellent, thanks for this, will get right on to it.

There's a crime documentary called Dear Zachary. I strongly recommend everyone to see it.

Without giving too much away, it's about a young doctor that was shot and killed. Loved by everyone, and his best friend decides to film everyone's tributes to him. What happens from there is just unbelievable.

I couldn't believe what I was watching.

Also Paradise Lost 1 & 2: The West Memphis Three.

A look at crime in inbred America and how justice works... or fails. It plays like a movie with the nutters that are in this, and they're not even the accused.

Wow. Just finished watching Dear Zachary. Unbelievable is probably a good way of describing it.

And apologies in regard to The Staircase. I'd seen it a few years ago and only noticed it recently in passing. It seems that the screening is fairly well advanced in the series. PM me if anyone wants some ideas on where to track it down.

Same as Jack Jack, wow.

That was incredible.

Boss with Kelsey Grammer is one new series I have been watching. I think its pretty good.

Whites on ABC is pretty good. It's a few years old now and unfortunately it only ran for one season.

ABC also has Last Chance To See. I read the book by Douglas Adams many years ago which is absolutely brilliant. Worth watching & reading both.

Just watched Dear Zachary

The latest installments of "Sherlock" are wonderful .

They will need your full attention as usual so plan your evening !

2.1 A Scandal in Belgravia , 2.2 The Hounds of Baskerville 2.3 , The Reichenbach Fall .

Complex again and it's a "revelation" on how the writers have brought "Holmes" to the modern day . So clever . Don't miss 'em !

The game is afoot ! ( my dear Watson )

Can't go past Breaking Bad at the moment. In terms of comedy I think It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a classic, but you have to watch it from the beginning and persevere through a relatively slow season and a bit until Danny De Vito comes in. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I have during that show.

I also find The Office to still be quite good, despite Steve Carrell's departure. Can't see it going for too much longer though.

Anyone seen previews for the new series Alcatraz? I can't decide whether it'll be Lost 2.0, or something that actually makes sense...

Half way through "Boss" and I heartily recommend it.

I'm really enjoying New Girl, but probably wouldn't watch it unless Zooey was in it.

Big Bang Theory is always a goer.

Dexter is definitely my favourite current show - the end of Season 6 blew my mind!

I also catch Downton Abbey, Parenthood, and like my musicals so I keep track of Glee as well.

As far as Aussie shows, I'm looking forward to the return of Packed to the Rafters and Winners and Losers. The Slap was a winner for me - I read the book last year before I knew they were making a series. Nothing but a pleasant surprise.

Boyfriend has pulled me in to some of his older shows - I finished the complete series of Outrageous Fortune in under 3 months and we are currently watching Arrested Development from way back when Michael Cera was actually an awkward teenager instead of trying to play on.

I'm not sure if any of these have made it to TV, but they're great none the less.

These are a few documentaries on GMO's and, more specifically, Monsanto.

Very, very interesting viewing.

Had to watch The World According to Monsanto for one of my Geography courses in my first year. Amazing and terrifying how much control and influence Monsanto has.


Just finished watching the 2nd series of the UK production of "Mad Dogs"

For the uninitiated it's a madcap , crime caper set in Majorka .

Highly recommended , here's the IMDb link ..............

I was just doing a bit of channel surfing and noticed a gem on ABC2. Arrested Development.

THE..... GREATEST..... SHOW..... EVER!

If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favour.

I think there's a movie due out this year? And a doco to boot!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9TXVMkQ29g

Also I'm part way through the doco Thin Blue Line on ABC iView. Looks like a good real life murder mystery.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
