Yes, oh yes. Jeremy Kyle and Loose Women are no brainers. The first three Spiderman movies were pretty good. Not having that.

Do you mean the one with Tommy gunn where rocky went from a celebrity back to a street moron? Or the more equally stupid recent one? Tommy Gunn one. The more recent one was absurd but I did like his little speech to his son, so I'll let him have that one.

The last series of Doctor Who. Can we just pretend it didn't happen? It was an embarrassment to Britain. Agreed. I have probably watched every episode and remember rushing back from Selhurst Park in the early seventies to catch Jon Pertwee as there was no VCR or repeats in those days. Doctor Who used to be a battle of good against evil but now it's just political correctness gone mad

I stopped watching halfway through the Peter Capaldi character. I saw the line up for the new female doctor and didn't bother to watch after 50 years. By the way how comes the doctor is female and not "trans"? Such a shame to me that show will always be about scary monsters and not social justice.

Doctor Who used to be a battle of good against evil but now it's just political correctness gone mad It was so bad that the fact that we had a female Doctor was almost incidental. The casting was bordering on offensive. We live in a country where 85% White and yet they were often in a minority on the screen. Doctor Who is now a vehicle to promote 'BBC' values and minority interests. It was so evident that even my daughter, who is fairly liberal in her early twenties and has a number of Muslim and non White friend was texting me joking about it. I would have liked to have seen Keely Hawes as the female doctor but only with a script written by a grown up.

I think what really annoyed me was the way the BBC trumpeted that this was sooo daring and innovative. It isn't there have been lots of sci-fi stories that involved gender change, Michael Moorcock to name one was doing this back in the sixties and seventies with his time traveller character. It was neither new nor brave it was done because the rating since David Tennant have been falling faster and harder than Diane Abbot taking a dive.

Any cookery programme ever since I heard of Fanny Craddock as a kid and when my hormones kicked in expected her to be a p*** star and was bitterly disappointed.

The only cookery program that I like watching is Rick Stein wherever he may be as he is a real wordsmith and can make me hungry just by listening to him. Oddly enough despite being quite a reasonable cook I can't make any of his recipes work whereas everything in the Hairy Bikers cookbooks works but I don't really like watching them Edited by Midlands Eagle (01 May 2019 2.53pm)
