The What's on Television thread

HDX

Right so this thread is where, we can make reccommendations to each other for good television shows/ films on tv, that are in within the next 24 hours roughly,
The idea for this thread came about as I have just realised a film I really wanted to see was on Paramount at ten, while I was watching crappy music television.


My Reccomendation: US The Apprentice,
Season Finale 1:30am. rte2.

BBC TWO, tonight, 8pm:

Top Gear
Jeremy and The Stig race two Caterham 7s around a circuit in Scotland, but Jeremy needs to build his own car from scratch first. Richard and James road test the Ford S-max, the Mercedes B200 turbo and the Vauxhall Zafira VXR - three family cars that promise a bit of excitement. The star in the reasonably priced car is Steve Coogan

Cool. They are showing Meadow's previous film, 'Once upon a time in the midlands,' next week at the same time. It's not as good as Dead man's shoes but worth catching.

I see TV3 are repeating Supernatural, starting tonight.

This is much funnier than it sounds, a good proportion of the people pitching ideas are either lunatics or so nervous they are unable to talk properly. Excellent programme.

Watched that last night, didn't think it was much good really. The funniest bit of the whole programme was the Q&A bit and that had been used in the promo. Iannucci needs to get some new material, this is just the same stuff regurgitated yet again.
