The Official TV Thread

Norf Tyrone · December 28, 2008, 10:46:53 AM

After missing the 'Road to Croker' last night, I thought I'd start this thread for people to post recommendations of things that are on the TV. I am not one of those people who tend to watch some obscure sky channel for a documentary on underwater butterfly wrestling in the pacific, but feel free to educate on this thread as well.

So tonight I'll probably be watching;

BBC1 at 8pm: The 39 Steps
Mostly because the wife has a thing for Rupert Penry-Jones

BBC1 at 10:35pm: Match of the Day

CH4 at 6:15pm: The Secret Millionaire Changed my Life.

RTE1 at 6:30pm: Celebrity Baínisteoir

RTE1 at 9:30pm: Young Irish and wealthy

I'll probably have to get the SKY+ in action mind you.

Tommy Tiernen on in a while folks.

When I seen this thread I thought, "that's a great idea" but unfortunately having scanned the tv guide the last two nights I can't contribute. This thread is demonstrating that there is simply nothing worth watching on tv, even in this holiday season. It's an outrage that the baboons insist on taking a licence fee of us.

It is a great idea as I miss loads of good stuff and don't have i player etc to catch up.
Norf I have the 39 steps recorded. Was it any good? I think most missus' have a thing for yer man from Spooks.
WarGames is on this afternoon on channel 4. Love that movie.

I never bothered in the end up Tony. I was going to SKY+ it as well but realised I'd enough to watch already.

From Monaghan, played colleges for Keady. 4 All Stars.

That's what I wondered!

he's a Latton man (near the Cavan border) was a brilliant minor dual player - he was on Banty's panel for a couple of years.

He was on the Nicky Rackard team this year.

That looked like an interesting documentary about Dev and Churchill last night - didn't see much of it, mind.

Any word when this is on?

First episode of House has just started on TV3, for anyone that hasn't seen it before.

I think its a great show, well worth a look if you're not watching anything else.

Primetime on RTE 1 at 9 30 should be good.
Should be a good insight into the Israel/Palestine conflict.
