Watch This!
Hiya - welcome to WatchThis! - a growing selection of film, DVD and TV reviews.
On Watch This! you’re not going to find reviews of just any old film or TV program, these are personal reviews of excellent films and programs that I feel very strongly about.
Don’t forget, It’s well worth looking at the new deals that SKY TV are offering, especially since their See, Speak, Surf deals for TV, phone and broadband came out. I’m a great fan of the HD Sky Movies mix, but since I love film you’d expect that, wouldn’t you?
I don’t know if it’s my imagination but I thought that the profusion of channels on digital and satellite TV was supposed to lower programming quality, but I think the opposite has happened recently. For a start you’ve got channels like BBC3 coming along which give you a new slant on programmes you’ve seen before, and the creatively named BBC4.
Then there is UKTV History which can be utterly fascinating. It can also be a little patronising at times, but hey, nobody’s perfect! It’s worth trying to catch their series “Seven Wonders of the Industrial World” particularly the episode about the Brooklyn Bridge.
It’s a pity that ABC1 seems to have disappeared from my freeview digital box because this weird channel that ran during daytime TV joined episodes of Less Than Perfect, 8 Simple Rules, Scrubs and Home Improvement back to back with an insane advertising schedule.
As the winter nights have drawn in I have started my hibernation process by spending hours enjoying my boxed sets of Heroes Season 1 Part 1 on DVD and Heroes Season 1 Part 2 on DVD.
The best news though was Film4 going free to view on digital TV. Their standards seem to have remained high, but they seem to be moving around the digital channels a bit, something we never had to suffer before digital TV came along
