What TV are you watching?

I'm still waiting for them to get stuck on the planet like in the original so the show can really start, but 2 series in they're still fannying about in space

weren't they stuck on a planet for pretty much all of series one? ...before actually getting 'lost in space' at the very end.

Sherlock, brilliant, but Stephen Moffat also gets a on that

Agree, quite disturbing although it is nonsense with black comedy elements. Ep3 to watch tonight

Nice touch in that "cabin 9" held the mysterious passenger - a reference to the utterly brilliant "Inside No 9" presumably

He did Dracula with Gattis also.I think.

Dracula was very good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very good with just the right amount of gore, and humour to go with it.

You really should. Each episode is brilliant, some expanding on snippets from their other shows which is very clever.

Last night I watched a bizarre thing, The Masked Singer. Essentially a "celebrity" wears a ridiculous costume and sings a song and it's up to a panel of judges to decide who it is, based on basically no information whatsoever. It's very weird, there doesn't seem to be a point to it and yet I found it compelling. Think X Factor crossed with The Mighty Boosh and you're sort of close.

Will have a look

I watched E2 Dracula as that singing show was on ... singing shows are a big turn over for us.
X factor and mighty boosh are not my thing at all .

Entirely reasonable, I cannot stand X Factor (though I do love the Boosh) and it's likely I won't bother with another episode as there really is far too much inane chat, but last night it hit exactly the right surreal spot.

On a vaguely (surreal) related note, Tom Davis of Murder in Successville fame is in a new show starting this week, King Gary. The trailer I saw didn't give much away, but he is very funny so I'll be giving it a go.

If you don't like X-Factor stay well away from the new mask thing, just when you think they are scraping the bottom of the barrel, they break through the seal into a new lower level

Finished Dracula, nice modern take on this old story..enjoyed that.

Good way through Altered Carbon...I seem to be liking it but I've no idea why..tho the cop lady is my idea of So maybe that's it
