 i've started watching the second series and its more bonkers than the first   Please tell me there will be some explanations about what the hell is going on otherwise i may give up

I'm only 4 in mate so I'm still as confused as you... I kind of like that though. Have you seen the Christopher Eccleston one yet?

 Can't wait for 9pm tonight!

i've watched the first 2 so far so i presume thats next?

It's the 3rd or 4th one in Season 2. MENTAL!

I've only just realised (3 episodes in) that the State Trooper and his daughter in Fargo Season Two are the ones who feature heavily throughout Season One which is set some years later.

I feel right thick now.

just warched it Fin, you were right, absolutely mental 

Any Games of Thrones fans on here? They keep releasing pictures to suggest Jon Snow (no not the channel 4 loud tie and socks man, the other one) isn't dead after all

It wouldn't surprise me if Jon Snow was brought back to life but nothing is certain with Game of Thrones - apart from the fact that the TV series will finish long before Martin publishes the final volume. Nobody even knows when he is going to publish the next volume and the TV series has moved beyond the published story line in a couple of areas.

Series 3 of The Bridge has surprised me by being very good so far. Let's hope it can maintain this standard.

two of my favourites on last night, Peep Show and Toast of London, both great programmes and very funny

Absolutely love Peep show Norpig!

Peep Show has been superb so far this series. "Zuckerberg's fucked me again". Can't beat it.

Toast of London was also magnificent last night. Pete Davison in his dressing gown with that rough northern bird. Fantastic.

 its a shame it's the last series of Peep show, it's definitely one of my favourites and i have most of the series on DVD.

I, for one, hope he isn't dead. It was quite a shocker when he got stabbed in the back.

I have been watching the second series of The secret lives of 5 year olds on channel 4 and find it fab.

Anyone else watch this?

Think it's on 4 isnt rt? My mrs records it so not 100 %

It's on Channel 4 as stated above

Just watched it on 5 year olds and find the whole series quite interesting on how kids react to things and each other.

The one thing I am confused a little is the place it is set at, the place seems like a kindergarten kind of place so I'm guessing that they are just using this place for their experiment and research so to speak?

Started recording "First Dates" recently and really enjoy it. 
For those who haven't seen it it's people from all aspects of society who have agreed to be filmed during a blind date at a pop up restaurant despite not knowing who is going to walk through the door. It's a bit formulaic inasmuch that the dates are obviously characters hand picked by the producers but it's a wonderful insight into individuals, their attitudes, hopes and expectations. The show has a few surprises and comedy moments but overall it's a very pleasant piece of entertainment telly that's not too challenging and better than similar things in the "reality TV" genre.

The Murder Detectives. a 3 parter last one on tonight, absolutely gripping

 i agree, it's been great so far. Channel 4 always has great programmes like this

I'm settling down with a cup of horlicks to watch the Sepp Blatter expose starting in a couple of mins on BBC1. Its done by the guy who worked 15 years to get to the bottom of corruption...I'm hoping for some insight, not necessarily into what he did (I think we know) but in how he got away with it for so long/who else was aware
