Just had a whole Game of Thrones week/weekend. Can't wait for Series 3 to be out on DVD next year..... Like you say hokum beautifully presented and acted. Opening credits worth the price of admission. I want to be the Mother of Dragons.
Tonight my best night TV in the week - Stargate (bit of filler currently muted but there's nothing else on), Vampire Diaries, I Claudius, The Walking Dead. -

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Not many by the looks of it. Last week 3 went away with 1K each. No-one last night did much better. The knowledge of this latest crop of contestants is abysmal.
The viewers were once treated to pit their wits on answering the harder questions. Now it's not even worth it.
Can they go back to the old format and get people in the chair that have some chance of becoming a "millionaire".
The way these latest one's perform will make viewers turn off and will be the death of the programme.
ITV chiefs, do the right thing or get your shovels out. -

I saw the first 3 eps of S1 on terrestrial (I don't have or want Sky) ordered the DVD of S1 and S2 and watched the whole lot virtually back-to-back!
Think I may do the same again once I know S3 is on the way to me. -

On past form, it won't be released until just before season 4 begins. -

The questions were not particularly challenging were they? It does make for a boring programme when so many contestants seem to be lacking in what I would expect for most people to be common knowledge. -

Yes, - but for me, more acceptable than Andrew Scott was in 'Sherlock'. -

In a roundabout way talk of Elementary reminded me that there are some advantages to not having sky. www.radiotimes.com/n...

There seems to be a trend across quiz shows that contestants are as thick as a brick
I think it's to do with the belief that they don't need to learn anything because if they need to know anything they can look it up online!!
By the way
RIP to Richard Thorp, who as Alan Turner was Emmerdale longest serving actor
And RIP to ex-wrestler Mick McManus -

Only watched one episode of Sherlock, not a fan of Freeman, so never saw Andrew Scott. -

My opinion of him in Sherlock was that he was more like Count Moriarty from 'The Goon Show' than Conan Doyle's Professor Moriarty. Others suggested he was reminiscent of Graham Norton.
I've nothing against Andrew Scott, and enjoyed his performance in 'The Town' at the end of last year. But as the "Napoleon of Crime" he was a joke imo.
