I need more. What's it about and what channel is it on?

It's about a female child support officer who goes home to look after her sick mum, but she's asked to help on a case of a pregnant 12 year old.

It's slated to be on BBC2 at some point it's a mini series btw. 8 eps.

Anyone watched Game of Thrones? Our lasses Nan watches it, neither of us liked it a first, and we didn't have the heart to tell her nan, however after wartching the first season I have started getting into it, our lass still hasn't got into it though.

I thought it was great and I am not a fan of fantasy stuff. Well made, well acted and with an interesting number of story lines. Series 3 is starting in April I think.

Another good episode of Top of the Lake this week - Until Mad Men comes back this show is the most interesting one on at the moment.

Person of Interest is the most interesting show right now - most entertaining programme since 24 in my opinion. Closely followed by White Collar and Dexter.

I enjoy Ice Road Truckers on Friday nights.

POI is just not something that grabs me tbh, just a slightly better CSI, Dexter I've never actually watched but i understand is very good.

White Collar i just googled, doubt i'd like that by the sounds of it but i will see the pilot at some point.

On the face of it White Collar sounds really boring, but it's actually a really light-hearted show with a cracking script and very good actors. There's very little violence, no swearing, a bit old fashioned really. But there's nothing wrong with that.

I still have Freaks n Geeks on DVD if you want to watch it again.

I've seen F&G through 4 times now, gets better on every watch.

superb writing and acting.

You still owe me £32.

Fantastic documentary on BBC1 with Margaret Mountford (ex The Apprentice) about Pompeii

Watched "Lockout" last night on Sky Premiere......top film. I recommened it to everyone.

I like the idea, and I have watched and will do again, that Sky Arts 2 has given the whole Easter Weekend over to Andre Rieu and actually renamed the channel, for the weekend to Sky Arts Rieu - currently watching his concert from Maastricht.

Currently watching Sky Channel 130 (Sky Arts Rieu) - Dancing Through The Skies - from the Semper Opera House, Dresden

Just chilling out to Scarface on ITV4.

I finished watching Prison Break last week and thought it was an amazing program. It was a shame series 3 went a little off the boil but appart from that it is up there with The Sopranos. I have started 24 this week and it has took me a while to get in to it but episode 6 onwards has been very good.

I agree about Prison Break, fantastic programme. I'm jealous that you haven't watched 24, I wish I was about to sit down and watch it for the first time. If you enjoy Season 1 you're in for a treat further along the line as it's one of the weakest seasons, but still excellent.

The Walking Dead finale? Crap or crap?

I haven't watched past the first episode of the "season"

Not that i don't like it, i do, it just didn't grab me. I will watch it eventually though still a fun show.
