Recommended Posts

Following discussion in Guilty Pleasures I want to know if you secretly love any tv shows or films? Is there anything in your dvd collection that you should be ashamed of?

I Own... Footballers Wives season 1 & 2. I wish i had the season 4 with extra time one. I also have the complete Ab Fab series in a purple fabric case thing :*

I also have a love for One Tree Hill & The OC but that doesnt count! They rock!

Captain Tsubasa. My best friend and I used to love it when we were little and I'm rather sentimental about it. I don't exactly own it but I like to watch it on the internet occasionally :P Very occasionally. It's a Japanese cartoon :S

As far as TV goes I think Friends is my main guilty pleasure as it's so at odds with everything else I like. I'll also admit to watching the repeats of Newlyweds with Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson on MTVR on a regular basis... it's so trashy it's brilliant. And my biggest guilty pleasure film-wise is Dirty Dancing, I'm not a particularly girly person but I'd love to recreate all the dancing scenes with Patrick Swayze. :P

So save the last dance

I love certain Danish children's TV shows. Look at my avatar ;) What can I say - Kaj & Andrea are legends!

I also love shows like Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (I think that's what it's called) and German shows of that kind.

(I really hope no-one I know sees this...)

I love watching programmes like Street Wars where they show CCTV and police videos of chavs and other petty criminals doing stupid things. It's on Sky Three a lot on Freeview. The other day I was watching one and realised I'd seen it before.

I also love to watch children's TV. Tracy Beaker is a great show. Can't beat Pingu for relaxation either, the way they don't use any real words but everyone knows what's going on and what they mean, it's amazing!

I love watching The Bill as well. It's on tonight but I won't be able to watch it... because I'm seeing Radiohead. So I guess I'll have to wait till next week when the silly football will be over and it should be on more. I loved being able to watch old episodes on UKTV Gold at my friend's house.

I broke a long-term promise to myself never to watch crime programmes and watched Cops with Cameras on ITV1 last night, then Crimewatch on BBC1, two programmes I would never normally consider watching. Having done that, I probably won't ever again. Absolutely terrible for creating paranoia and unreasonable suspicion and fuelling resentment towards those accused of committing crimes.

I have become fascinated with documentaries appearing on Bravo though about US prisons. Very insightful, informative programmes. I would loves to see more. I suppose that's my 'guilty pleasure'.

I think I also watch repeats of Have I got News for You, QI and the other stuff like that on Dave far too much...

Oh.. and it's probably a bad thing that I watch "Liverpool's 100 greatest premier league games" every night...

I think to be honest I should be ashamed of my entire DVD collection! I have far too many to list but the one that tops the bill and is actually a favourite film of mine :oops: is Crossroads (yip the Britney one!) I have lost count of the number of times I have seen it! I know it is terrible, I know the acting is appalling, I know it should be rubbish but I love it!!!

I actually found myself watching My Family today The funniest thing about that programme these days is the fake laughter all the time.

I've been in the unfortunate position of having to endure an entire episode of My Family. I really, really didn't find any single element of it funny. Zoe Wanamaker and Robert Lindsay look like they're discreetly cringing with humiliation at the exiguous quality of it.

Talking about guilty pleasures film-wise one film comes right to my mind: Clueless! I love it, yes I do.

Love it :D

And Mean Girls, 10 Things I Hate About You, Bridget Jones Diary, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Grease, You've Got Mail, Notting Hill...

Err yeah, I kinda like chick flicks :oops:

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
