There's lots of good comedy programmes on just now that I like, e.g.

Have I Got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Mock the Week, Peep Show, Come Dine With Me, Frankie Boyle, Still Game, Oz and Hugh Raise the Bar

"Out of Town", with Jack Hargreaves.   They don't show programmes like that these days, more's the pity.

Oh, come on Stephen, where's your national pride ?  Come clean and admit that "The Tales of Para Handy" is simply unsurpassable ...

Yup Russell Howard is superb, oh and Phil I forgot to mention "The Vital Spark", "City Lights" and "Chewin' the Fat" and I do believe the latter has subtitles when shown in England lol.

Aye, I do believe I could hae used some of those last night when I was Addressing the Haggis (in my best Lallans' accent) : I could swear our French guest didnae have the slightest idea what I was wittering aboot !

I doubt if there is even a French equivalent for haggis!

Haggis IS French, Stephen pmsl.....there's not a damn thing we all associate with "Scotland" that actually originated there :o....Saw it on QI lol :P

Furthermore, according to Wikipaedia ("the most cited and least reliable source of information in the world"), "a "haggis bhaji" is another deep fried variant, available in some Indian restaurants in Glasgow."

Hae ye had one, Stephen ?!

I beg to differ. The US version of the Office - if given time - if way funnier than the UK version. Most people give up after a few episodes of the first series but trust me - bear with it. I've also recently finished The Middle which is very similar to Malcolm in the Middle and just as funny. We have also just started with Modern Family which is also brilliant. Give those Yanks a bit of time, their writers are some of the best in the world. The other plus point is a series lasts 20 - 26 episodes, not 6 like UK comedy series.

$n$ people in a room, for small $n$.  One enters, says something allegedly funny, another leaves the room by a different door.  This appears to be the plot for every American sitcom I have ever had the misfortune to experience.  So, with the greatest respect Chris, I too beg to differ  :)

** Phil.

P.S. 20 to 26 episodes ?  I am bored stiff within the first two minutes of one show; long before exposure to 26 I would either have committed suicide or thrown my television at a passing policeman, hoping for a lifetime sentence in a maximum security prison with no possibility of ever watching television again !

Hi Phil,
You obviously haven't been in a British maximum security prison. There are more TVs than you can poke a stick at. :)

Hi Phil,

You meet all walks of life inside even ex BIR chefs.... :o

Now you are getting dangerously close to Vietnamese cuisine; I shall run that one past my wife, and confidently expect her to say "Yes, we eat that all the time at home" !

LOL Phil.....

A little butter or oil, and a drizzle of either lemon or lime juice once finished, garnished with some coriander leaves? :)

Unfortunately the drizzle of lemon or lime is more likely to be a drizzle of fish sauce.  And if ever you have had the misfortune to smell fish sauce, you will know that at that point I lose all interest in the scrambled eggs  :(

Having watched George's recent "sag aloo" video (1), I think this young lady might well be my favourite for 2011 if I can find out on what channel her programmes are broadcast !

Noy sure about Chilli Flakes and Scrambled egg but I did cook these fellas http://www.porkywhites.co.uk/roasted-garlic-and-cumin/index.html (http://www.porkywhites.co.uk/roasted-garlic-and-cumin/index.html) in a Toad-in-the-hole with red peppers and onion and which was very tasty indeed.

As for TV I don't really watch too much tele but I am partial to QI, the only other show that grabs my attention is Jimmy's Food Factory when it's on, oh and of course Top Gear.

I can see a new naan bread coming on here....... these sausages cut into thin slices, a little chilli and some fresh coriander........maybe some fried onions in there too?

Hell, we'll end up eating just naan bread and to hell with the main course!! lol :)
Title: Re: What's you're favourite TV show?
Post by: Malc. on January 05, 2011, 01:54 PM
Tell you what, roll the sausage up in that naan bread of yours with all the trimmings and you'll truly have yourself a hot dog! :D

Gotta say though, sounds like a damn good idea. :)
