MMMMMmmmmm Gillian Anderson in HD....

Hotel Babylon looks to be a Combo disc. AFAIK the BBC are the only studio still releasing on HD-DVD. Torchwood S2 is supposed to be coming soon.

Hotel Babylon is awful though.

Thanks Salty.

I agree. It does have some very nice looking women on it though. Emma Pierson and Natalie Jackson Mendoza, MMMMMMM.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 May 2008, 04:41

Actually I was being kind. It's not awful, it's downright disastrously vile. It does have some nice looking women though, like you say.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 02 May 2008, 15:32

If you want nice women, get HD porn

1080p on a masive screen with True HD sound haha nice.

The BBC do make a load of shit, we know where our licence fee goes anyway, down the sodding drain!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 May 2008, 17:04

They produce more quality programs than rubbish. They produce some excellent documentaries and wildlife programs, not that I usually watch the latter.

I cannot work out how people would pay £15-20 for Porn in HD. It's Porn! It really doesn't need to be in HD. "Paying" for Porn is nuts.

I prefer Channel 4 documentaries.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 May 2008, 17:28

I like them both equally. I really wish ITV would make an effort. Sure I know their remit has always been to create programming for the lower class but seeing as most people are now middle class this no longer works.

They barely seem to make any effort ever. I try to avoid it but Coronation Street is a good example of how ITV works compared with The BBC. Every time I have watched a Coronation Street episode it comes across as if they've deliberately tried to film real life. Meaning all the mundane and frankly dull conversations we might have on a daily basis.

It doesn't exactly make for entertaining viewing. The BBC with East Enders however has considerably better acting and entertaining story lines. Sure they're not remotely realistic but at least they're entertaining.

Strangely I her Corrie is more popular.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 02 May 2008, 17:54

Coro St, Eastenders, Emmerdale... they are all rubbish. Hollyoaks is even worse than the former three, but it has loads of hot women, so it wins by default.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 May 2008, 17:57

East Enders does have very good acting. I'll just say that, in response to the first three. Coronation Street and Emmerdale are rubbish. Emmerdale is downright boring.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 02 May 2008, 17:57

Yeah I can't stand any of them. And most people being middle class nowadays, what?!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 May 2008, 18:01

You don't reckon they are? In The UK.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 02 May 2008, 18:03

Nope, in Grimsby there are loads of those horrible council estates full of chavs and druggies, and I'm sure it's not just my hometown which is like that lol.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 May 2008, 18:17

I meant over "most" of the country, not pockets (large or small)

all southerners are middle/upper class

i'm a working class terrace house owning scouser

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 May 2008, 18:34

I do believe statistically most people in The UK are now middle class. Bloody hell talk about going off topic

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 02 May 2008, 21:29

In Brad's world most people are middle class. Only middle class people can afford to be liberals. If you're a liberal by very definition you're also middle class. Poor people are either labour or socialist. Rich or upper middle are mostly Tories. How's that for generalisations?

That cute Natalie girl had a main role in The Descent.

No seriously. I heard statistically most people in The UK are now middle class.

Huh? When did I ever say any of that?

You're a Torie fanboy and keep telling us you're working class.

Well, that's bollocks for starters.

You didn't. I did. That wasn't a quote.

TORY (at least spell it correctly) fanboy I am not. Just because I think Lib-Dems are largely a waste of space and New Labour are a big fucking disappointment doesn't make me a died-in-the-wool blue nose. It just so happens that Labour now punish poor people more than the Tories ever did... and I, like a lot of people, want to see a change in government (see the pasting Labour took in the England/Wales elections). Since The Conservative Party are the ONLY alternative it's a 50-50 choice. Except in Scotland where you can vote SNP. But as the general election is another year or two away I'm not worrying about that yet... Can't see Gordon Brown still being leader at that time.

Is it bollocks? Most people are better off than they were 10-15 years ago. You reckon most people are working class?

I was copying how you spelt it

Markgway wrote:Can't see Gordon Brown still being leader at that time.

Personally I can. He was so determined to get in and had no competition, why? Because everyone was scared of him.

I think most people dislike him but not his party. They dislike the Tory party. There isn't any decent party left. The Liberal Democrats are the only decent party left but like you say they don't do anything and have no strength whatsoever.

I've no idea who I'd vote for:

* The Conservatives stink and I don't agree with most what they stand for. I never have.
* Labour have a dreadful leader. Gordon Brown simply cannot compete against Tony Blair (Iraq aside).
* Liberal Democrats have some good policies but are so inept.

Historically I've always voted Liberal Democrats because at least I agree with the policies.
