Film and TV review.

The Call Centre on BBC3 now ( 8pm ) is well worth a watch. I would be interested to know what other posters think of Nev, the call centre manager. The Docu was originally shown last night and it has caused a bit of a stir. It's the most tweeted about programme on Twitter and it's all down to Neville Wilshere.

For anyone who liked The Office you will enjoy the Call Centre. It's hard to believe it's not a bloody comedy. These are the individuals who bombard our telephones with PPI and other such bullshit. How the CEO, Nutty Nev, runs his team is quite bizarre. Natasha could take some tips for Whittam International.

Me too. We can but hope.

I watched the call centre. Having worked in a couple I have never come across anyone like nev. He must be a hr departments worst nightmare.

I haven't got round to watching it yet. I'm saving it for the long six weeks school holidays.

If I where u id look at the complete boxset. Might save you money because you will want to watch them one after another. I watched them on sky Atlantic and it was one episode a week drove me mad but I'm a cheap skate so didn't buy the boxset. Doing the same with Friday night lights. Top series but only about six or seven to go now

That's what I do. I don't always have the time to watch each weekly episode so I just buy the boxset. I've seen all the Lost seasons as well as all the Sopranos and 24 and I've just finished Boardwalk Empire seasons 1 and 2. All brilliant by the way.

The absolute best episode of LOST

Lost was amazing as was the sopranos. Need to watch boardwalk yet

Boardwalk is a cracker as is 24.

Try on the ondemand section on the sky box as they have a lot of box sets - been watching Strike Back from episode 1 and Hit & Miss again.

Anyone watch "The Returned" on C4 last night? It was superb.

The basic premise is that three dead people (one recently deceased, one 10 years ago, and one 40 years ago) suddenly reappear in their home town as if nothing has happened.

Nothing much has been given away yet but the reactions to these dead people coming back to life were outstanding.

Part 1 of 8 last night - make an effort to see it. It's French by the way with subtitles so that probably rules out 90% of this site who can't read.

I read about this yesterday in the TV pages. as long as the subtitles are not in French it shouldn't be a problem.

I was put off with it being a foreign film
