Eddi Reader is a fine singer in fairness

One day I will learn not to confuse her with Eddie Vedder

Like, I know they aren't the same person but I have a sort of name dyslexia about the two of them

Not the only one. Maybe Pearl Jam should give 'Perfect' a lash sometime

Welsh Megaman

The Wurzels must be spinning in their graves.

Melanie on Hootenanny singing her song which Brendan Grace did a piss take of, and then the Wurzels copied Brendan's version almost note for note and had a huge hit in the UK

I read on twitter that Brexiteers are boycotting Hootenananny due to Stormzy being on it

btw thought Stormzy was really good.

RobertKK

Hootenanny a program based on time travel given it is pre-recorded.

That was another excellent NYE on BBC2.

CNN rubbish as it has been since they sacked Kathy Griffin. Cohen making a fool of himself.

mrm

Jools excellent band being front and centre on the majority of songs made it a great show

When the lineup went across the screen, one of my family definitely said "Eddie Vedder" and I bit my tongue...

All the musical talent in this country and the best RTE can do is a plastic dolly bird singing cover of Guns N Roses. And honestly does the national broadcaster need to carry her petty snide remarks against her husband - Hopefully her kids had the good sense not to tune in and listen to her derogatory remarks about their father.

Fair play to Mike Scott for giving it his all, and David Gray for his rendition of This Year's Love. Outside of that, not really much to write home about.

I missed that at the time but yeah, that was uncalled for and should have been edited out

Not the time or place to be calling her Ex Husband a "Fecking Eejit.".

Just a note to remind peeps that Rhys Thomas "the 2019 that didn't happen" review is on BBC Two tonight at 11.

Oh yeah - Forces TV has the Roots of Monty Python at 1.10 PM, probably a cut and paste hack job but better then nothing maybe.

That was class as always, I can't believe I missed Radiator Bleeding with Christopher Eccleston on Channel 5 !

Was the Mrs Brown Christmas special worth watching?

The NYE one was terrible.
It also shows O'Carroll doesn't really care about authenticity. Why is Mrs. Brown listening to Liverpool DJ Pete Price? Because he's mates with BO'C.
Sue Vincent, a British actress as Peggy Piper wasn't great. Her attempt at a Dublin accent, especially. Plus having the London Gospel Choir in.

Lemmy documentary on TG4 now (Motorhead)

Wife using TV . I'll get Lemmy next time round.

I got a lend of a "In Sickness and in Health" box set the other day. Halfway through disc 2 S2. I saw loads of random episodes years ago but only appreciating the writing this time round.
