Just like the 'What are you listening to' thread. What did you watch last night? Film/TV etc. Tell the forum and rate it.
Last night I watched a Claude Chabrol film called 'Girl Cut in Two' which was a bit disappointing followed by a couple of episodes of the Doctor Who story 'The Green Death'. Classic Pertwee (with the gorgeous Katy Manning).
T20 cricket - well done England , followed by Lewis, Law & Order : Trial by Jury - 2 episodes .
T20 - 9/10 - don't like T20 as a rule but fielding standards have improved no end
Lewis - 6/10 , pleasent way to while away the evening but very formulaisitc - predictable , stuff you could watch with your mum
Law & Order : Trial by Jury - another spinoff from the L&O franchise , with Lenny Briscoe appearing ( Jerry Orbach) . Poor sod must have been about 90 when they filmed this - he's covered in so much slap and plastic it was hillarious . Good format for the show , but will get very repetitive after 5 or 6 episodes I think . 6/10 .
All in all 7 hours viewing , no rolling news networks or internet surfing .
And nothing I could remember having watched 1 week from now .
First things first: Top thread Kevin, this could well end up becoming my "Most Active Topic", over time.
Anyways, last night.
50 Greatest Pop Videos, last night on Channel 4. I'm giving it a shameful 4/10 - it started well, with plenty of good stuff, but disappeared up its own ****hole as the show went on. Some terrible choices in the top ten. Toxic by Britney Spears? Really? One of the best videos, EVER?
An Evening with Kevin Smith, on DVD. The first one of three that he's done, and by some way the best. Very funny even if you're NOT massively familiar with his films (although many of the questions/answers would leave you cold if you're not), simply for the anecdotes about nearly getting the Superman re-boot, his first sexual encounter with the woman he eventually married, and his time filming an ultimately doomed documentary with Prince. 10/10 (obviously a biased score; it's a DVD I own and chose to watch because I enjoy it, I'll be giving most of those sorts of thing a ten-out-of-ten).

Something with the missus on BBC3 about WAGS in South Africa helping out with street kids etc.
Upson's bird was in it and came across as one of the most down to earth, she even bell him up to so they could buy some shacks for the people to live in.
The bird who was in Big Brother (Imogen??) seemed like a proper stuck up old bint constantly moaning and whinging that Defoe hadn't called her. ****

I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed it and how accurate a depictation of that scene (not that I was particularily into the New Romantic thing) it was. I have always found Boy George to be an obnoxious old queen but this made me consider my opinion of him which is probably what good telly should do.

If only we could say the same about "Muslim Driving School," eh?
