alexlincs 26th Jun 2024		TV Jack The Ripper [1988] (1988)	Fun fact Jack The Ripper was produced for television by Thames Television, but they had the hindsight to shoot on film (35mm I think); this means the Blu-Ray looks incredible and was perfect for remastering. I've seen made for TV films that were produced 20 years later and look shocking due to them being shot on video or studio VT cams.
alexlincs 25th Apr 2023		TV Little Britain (2003 - 2006)	As a bit of trivia Little Britain has been re-added to iPlayer and BritBox, but both the Ting Tong character from Series 3 and Desiree DeVere have been removed. The first episode runs nearly 5 minutes shorter than the DVD.
alexlincs 19th Dec 2022		TV Ads Infinitum (1998 - 2000)	RIP Victor Lewis-Smith
alexlincs 10th Nov 2022		TV Shuten Douji (1996)	@mikewn I see. I think I linked one episode by mistake as that was the last one I rated on imdb. I think it is the same I wonder if year 1996 is the year of first USA VHS release? Series seems to have run from 1989-1991 and it is an OVA. It's also very mediocre. Ideal would be to combine them with you cast and the amended dates? My title screen is from the DVD with Japanese title.
alexlincs 31st Oct 2022		TV Shuten Douji (1996)	Duplicate entry of? https://www.45worlds.com/tvseries/show/nc778236jp
alexlincs 3rd May 2022		TV Bravest Warriors (2017 - 2018)	I can't see why not. Cobra Kai started as a yt series.
alexlincs 6th Nov 2021		TV Tried And Tasted: The Ultimate Shopping List (2017)	[YouTube Video]
alexlincs 5th Nov 2021		TV Have I Got News For You (1990 - Now)	I've not watched this for Donkey's. Pretty much a battle of egos between Merton and Hislop every week with naff token guests and occasionally a comedian. The first episode had Peter Cook and Douglas Adams as guests how do you top that? Angus Deayton might rub people the wrong way, but you can't fault his timing easy to see Hislop and Merton getting jealous when he got bigger laughs. You could see the show losing its bite in the early 00s with the constant John Prescott is fat jokes or when a politician came on the show and they sucked up to them.
alexlincs 12th Aug 2021		TV The Simpsons (1989 - Now)	I had no idea this was on BBC 1. Must have taken The Neighbours slot.

alexlincs 31st Jul 2021		TV Cradle To Grave (2015 - 2016)	I really enjoyed this. I can't see another series being commissioned though.
alexlincs 6th Jul 2021		TV Dad (1997 - 1999)	This was originally a BBC1 series. It seems to have disappeared off the planet since, surprisingly it has an Australian DVD release.
alexlincs 28th Jun 2021		TV A Very English Scandal (2018)	Thanks for the info Quad5point1. I wrongly assumed it would be about Jeremy Thorpe again despite the series coming to a neat conclusion.
alexlincs 25th Jun 2021		TV A Very English Scandal (2018)	It's been confirmed for a second series. Why?
alexlincs 9th Jun 2021		TV The Last Leg (2012 - Now)	I could be wrong, but title screen seems to be in the studio rather than a traditional graphic.
alexlincs 23rd Apr 2021		TV Cleopatra D.C. (1989)	Title screen now added from US DVD. Titles seem to be at the end rather than the start which just has episode titles.
alexlincs 7th Apr 2021		TV またまたセイバーマリオネットJ (1997 - 1998)	Correct title screen now added from episode 1 of the DVD.
alexlincs 7th Apr 2021		TV Mutiny [UK] (2017)	[YouTube Video]
alexlincs 3rd Apr 2021		TV Below Deck Mediterranean (2016 - Now)	[YouTube Video]
alexlincs 3rd Apr 2021		TV Come Dine With Me [UK] (2005 - Now)	[YouTube Video]
alexlincs 24th Mar 2021		TV Room 101 (1994 - Now)	I agree with Shakyfan. It seems more like a chat show than a game show now. I like Frank Skinner as a comedian and he's had some great guests on, but it is dull.
alexlincs 13th Mar 2021		TV The Circle [UK] (2018 - 2021)	[YouTube Video]
alexlincs 10th Mar 2021		TV Four In A Bed (2010 - Now)	Originally called Three in a Bed. [YouTube Video]
alexlincs 10th Mar 2021		TV Naked Attraction (2016 - Now)	Actual title screen contains nudity so I've used a different image with the hash tag.
alexlincs 17th Nov 2020		TV Tottenham 2 (1998 - 2000)	I remember seeing a few episodes. I think it was shown as part of the 4Later slot on Channel 4.
alexlincs 29th Sep 2020		TV Catchphrase (1986 - Now)	Saw the show recently with Stephen Mulhern, it's pretty good. The format is fairly repetitive and boring so it must be hard to make it interesting. Roy Walker is still the king of Catchphrase for me though.
