There must be a reason why there a lot of Star Trek documentaries on the TV all of sudden but I can't for the life of me think what it might be...


Did you know there's a Culture Show special on that JJ Abrams fella on iPlayer? ;)

To be honest, I've not been particularly impressed by anything JJ Abrams has done since the second series of Alias. You do wonder when the BBC is running effectively promotional material for big budget hollywood films, which end is pushing or pulling...

Abrams annoys me every time someone talks about him on this forum.

I'm the real JJ!

BBC Breakfast has always been shocking in that regard but they do seem to have stolen Daybreak's clothes, which I guess was the intention all along.

Did anyone watch The Fall?

It wasn't exactly holding my attention, and I really hate hearing Ulster accents on TV :oops:

Next week's doesn't look much better.

Yeah, to say it's a slow burner is an understatement, and Gillian Anderson's character has to be the coldest and unlikeable role she's done. For some reason, I was expecting a strong, uncompromising woman - what we got, at least in this first episode, was a one-dimensional, unsympathetic character. Bit of a turn-off for me. Hope next week's episode ramps it up a level.

I really hated the 'room 203' bit - everything about that was shockingly handled :shock:

There's a few good Culture Show specials on iPlayer - the aforementioned JJ ;) , and a Smiths one :)

The United States of Television is also excellent; if you like TV, catch it before it goes!
