Why Do All New British TV Shows Have Dark Sets?

Deal Or No Deal, Dancing On Ice, 1% Club , Family Fortunes, SuperMarket Sweep, Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win, Wheel Of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Lingo, ‘Rob Beckett’s Smart TV’, Ridiculouss etc.

Was it ‘The Chase’ that did it?

Why now is all light entertainment TV shows all doom and gloom pitch black cheap looking sets with hardly any audiences?

Compare the Deal Or No Deal TV sets from back in the day til now, similarly, SuperMarket Sweep wtf! Also Family Fortunes!

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire looks filmed with an audience of about 20 people!

Are they all made in the same place?

Scarlet Moffat’s shoe

Had to rewind And & Dec to pinpoint the moment she lost her shoe after being totally distracted by one bare foot.

Why wasn’t she wearing socks??

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeway ends after 20 seasons!

Will miss it even if I didn't watch it all that much.

I couldn't post a photo due to DRM issues.

The two main lovable wide boys of British TV, Arfur Daley and Derek Trotter…but which is your favourite?

Arfur and Del Boy. One a slightly more refined, cunning, old school conman, masquerading as a respectable second hand car dealer. Shifty, sly, very verbose. Employs a former criminal/ex boxer to protect him, in case his exploits catch up with him.

The other, came from nothing and is trying his best, by hook or by crook, to get to something. Fiercely loyal to his family (who he also takes full advantage of), nowhere near as sly or cunning as Arfur, but much sharper, lives on his wits, always on the move. Crucially, is well capable of taking care of himself if things turn physical, although he always tries to avoid that in case the police show up.

So….whos your number one shady bloke?

Who remembers ChuckleVision?

Hello, I am a big fan of ChuckleVision because it is daft and very slapstick.

First of the summer wine

First of the summer wine, anyone remember this and why did they only make 2 series? From my memory it was really well done and was based on Cleggy and his diary.

What TV show themes instantly relax and comfort you?

I always love the cosy/comforting/nostalgic vibes I get when hearing the theme songs for Gardener's World, Springwatch, Grand Designs, and GBBO - almsot wish someone would combine them all into an orchestral suite. What theme songs make you feel the same way?

Opinions on: Late Night Lycett (S2)?

I'm absolutely loving this so far. It's got the feel of old school, random Live TV while feeling fresh and inspired. And Danny Dyer continually saying the c-bomb is actually hilarious. What do you think?

Do grocery stores pay for these tv shows about their brands/food?

I don’t know if I have just never noticed, but recently it seems there has been an uptick on shows or specials about supermarkets. Aldi has their own show that talks about their new brands and there is a supermarket secrets show on channel 4. Initially I think I had only noticed they had done these types of show around Christmas, but now a bunch of them have been popping up recently. Do supermarkets pay for these? It’s basically just free advertising.

In Still Open All Hours, why do all the men seem to have bad taste in women?

My mother always wondered this and I'm wondering it. Why did Cyril and Eric marry women who seem so dismissive of them. I can sort of get Gastric and Mr Neubold having bad partners because Granville is a plotter. But why did those two bananas get plucked by people who can't see their appeal?

Really Random Escape to the Country Question...

Escape to the Country s21 e43, there is an instrumental song that plays starting around minute 34 that I KNOW, but I can't put my finger on. I have tried to shazam and google search it and all the other ways I know. I can provide a link to a youtube video if that helps. The link has 4 songs listed none of which are the song in question.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

There’s something about movies

Has this show been cancelled? I liked it as it was so lighthearted and silly. Just rewatching the previous series’ and find it hilarious.

What happened to "Later... with Jools Holland"?

I remember this show being on all the time when I was younger (i'm 16) and I've recently started watching more broadcast TV to expand my interests (rather than Tik Tok/Instagram lol). I really wanted to tune into this because I remember thinking some of the rock bands on there were really cool and my parents used to show me the old Oasis performances, the show basically helped me find my music taste.

When I google it, I'm told that it's still going but on Wikipedia the last episode is listed as October 2022. I saw they did an annual thing as well. Is it only the "Annual Hootenanny" these days? Or am I missing some info about a new series
