I try and not watch the same things but she does watch the old taggart and her 12 hour shifts are perfect for the Persuaders Randall and Hobkirk lol Not a bad sort Davy lad especially liking Taggart.

Bet no one else has to endure the “horse and riding “ chanel. Looks like it is all recorded on a 1980s video camera . Ooof!! There's the winner right there. Bad luck Metcalf

We haven’t had the luxury of live TV for several years due to various things. We have access to iplayer, Netflix and DVDs/Blu rays. As a result there’s very little than we watch that we haven’t specifically chosen to. And we agree on most things. He can cope with endless repeats of LOM/A2A and I can cope with most of what he watches although I have had to acquire a taste to some of it. Used to loathe Red Dwarf, now I can cope with it.
But my god, I will just mention, The Chase is absolutely vile. I can’t bear it when it’s on and that’s normally in someone else’s house where I don’t have a choice!

To me, stuff like The Chase is just background wallpaper. I don’t watch it, or any other game shows. Just cheap fill in tv.

The Chase is absolute drivel. It seems rigged to me in order to prevent a pay out. The faked bad attitude chasers are one thing but their often run of easy questions in the final chase is farcical.

My other half sometimes says it looks like The Chase is fiddled. I don't know, but we do know that ITV is very reluctant to hand out money these days.
They don't even give losing contestants some type of small consolation prize afer coming all that way to take part in the show. I get utterly sick of the programme it never seems to go off for a break. I sometimes notice it on at weekends as well.
I don't know how they select the contestants either but we never get any unemployed people on the show. I think they should widen their net a bit when picking people to appear on it.
A few times lately while clicking through the channels I've seen Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards Right and what a breath of fresh air that is compared to The Chase. Really upbeat and entertaining, and Bruce himself so on the ball. I wish we had shows like that on now.

It’s the chasers that I hate the most. Can’t bear the smugness, whether it’s an act or not!
Bradley Walsh is just a pain. And he’s about to be 50% of what utterly murders doctor who, too.

The silly rehearsed patter annoys me too. The other day A contestant said something that was obviously a feed line for the chaser's comeback gag.

Those “Police camera action” things. Average episode is where some moron nicks a bottle of White Lightining cider from Morrison’s or wherever then the force is called into action and they all go charging around the surrounding streets in 4x4 BMWs with all the lights on, at 60mph, and a chopper is also scrambled with the aid of the local authority cctv.
Eventually, the cider thief is cornered, high fives all round, and at the end the voice over narration informs you that he was fined £40.00.
Wonder what Jack or Gene would make of this?
