Dream TV

[rude-boy]

Okay so you are on your own for a night in, few bevvies/bottle of wine/, whatever you fancy.

What would be the perfect night's telly for you to watch?

To make it easy lets say that you've got 5 hours to fill between 7pm and 12am. You can chose any TV programme or film that has been on UK TV but you can't watch any more than one episode from a series.

I've got to think about mine, although it's sure to include at least on Blackadder episode and a film in there somewhere, so I'll turn it over you you lot for now.

Oh and 'Debbie does Dallas' doesn't count Vixpy!

hmm... 5 hours to fill..

Some Peter Kay, some Bill Bailey, a summary of Pimp My Ride... A quick snippet of Indoor trials riding (Dougie Lampkin and his mates) then a good film to top things off, something like... Leon...

Dawson's Creek boxset

If I'm ill, down, generally I'll curl up and watch Dawson's. It's very embarrassing to admit, but it reminds me of my teen years when Dawsons was 'hip' and it never fails to warm the heart.

Failing that, Armageddon.

Goodfellas (that's 3 hours gone)
Beer - that Blackadder II episode with the puritans, where they all get pissed, and there's a turnip the same shape as a knob.
Probably an '80s episode of Inspector Morse - a really early evocative one, with hints of the classic boom (Morse's MKII for one), dated haircuts and fashions, and murderers in Aston Martin V8s, Porsche 911 Turbos and Jaguar XJ40s. And it all looks 'new'.

Probably episodes of I'm Alan Partridge, Big Train & Friends to start. An hour of Cold War (any episode, thought it was all so thrilling). Finsh off with a classic movie; French Connection, The Conversation, The Taking of Pelham 123, you know that sort of era.
Easily pleased.

A few episodes from Friends, the Simpsons and Magnum PI. Chuck in a classic top gear show and then finish off with American Psycho. Job done!!

Spitting Image
Sledge Hammer
The office
an episode of the Young ones
an maybe a Brit film such as Snatch or Lock Stock

In reality though i ussually end up watching

News
local news
some kind of z-list celebrity challenge
something about property.

if no two episodes of the same series allowed then:

The Sopranos: Pine Barrens | 1 hour
Smallville: Series 2 finale | 1 hour
Top Gear: Best of | 1 hour
Phoenix Nights Series 2 finale | 1/2 hour
The Office Pilot | 1/2 hour
Simpsons Cape Fear | 1/2 hour
Grand designs any episode | 1 hour

If these were all on dvd i'd have a fair old bit of time left due to the lack of ads, so hence the extra half hour.

i can honestly say i have never laughed once watching seinfeld. i don't think i'm that stupid but i just don't get it.

[lotuslad]

It is a bit love it or hate it I suppose, and is a show about nothing.

Not bad for a Yank comedy though.
