The X Factor is one of the biggest shows on Tv and I'm sure the Xtra factor doesn't fare too badly.

I was watching some of his old Screen Wipe shows on YouTube. In a few of these he had kicked a chair while one of his staff is sitting in in it and slapping staffers in the head. Definitely seemed more angry then than now. Just as well, I don't find him being physically abusive funny.

Yes she presented Xtra Factor. She was shit.

It's hard to think how someone can be worse than Caroline Flack.

She peaked as 'Bubbles' in Bo Selecta.

Left after half the season was it? Yeah.

If I'm honest, I don't have massive hopes for it now, not after the creator left.

That maybe, but aren't the ratings falling with every series?

bmstinton93 wrote:I'm sure the Xtra factor doesn't fare too badly.

I bet it does - it's on ITV2 at best (maybe even ITV3 or 4) - I reckon only the die-hard fans would be likely to watch it and frankly, they're a lost cause.

She's got one of the most nasal voices you'll ever hear. And Dara O'Briain fancies her.

Even though it started almost 20 years ago I've only just started watching Friends. It's brilliant.

I watched the first episode of spaced for the first time last night. I'm a massive fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and so far I think spaced is brilliant already and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series.

That is a very good show. The artist neighbor is very quirky to say the least

I got the biggest laugh out of the 2 girl scouts in the closet ala The Shining.

Glad to have The Walking Dead start back up last night after the mid-season hiatus. Bunch of shows coming back over the next couple of weeks here that I'm looking forward to including Comic Book Men and Oddities.

Re-watching House from the beginning for the second time... still makes me laugh out loud

Some fantastic one-liners in there!

I should check House out. i've heard Hugh Laurie is brilliant but have never seen an episode. I will rent the first series and check it out. Right now just getting into the first season/series of the Battlestar Gallactica TV series. I saw the original series as a kid.

I quite enjoyed Battlestar, and I'm not really a sci-fi person. Mr Red loves House, but I've never really got into it. Hugh Laurie is great, but some of the other characters irritate me - it seems like they've been deliberately made overly 'quirky'.

The writer/s have made this Battlestar much more complex than the original one but that gives them more material to work with. From someone who has seen the original series, it is odd. Having some Ceylons who are the equivalent of replicants is a big change from teh original.

I will watch the first DVD for part of the first season of House so I can decide from there if I am interested enough to continue viewing it. I will see if it is suspenseful, funny or none of those things to me.

House is AWESOME. I have always been a bit bitty in my watching of it - I haven't seen it from the beginning, and I haven't seen the last season or two either. But I still love it. And Hugh Laurie is astonishing in it.The man is a genius.
