You could have the introductory chord, A up, minor.

No wonder you're now bitter and twisted.

Fast forward 50 years and he'd be lying on the ground with a stab wound and the bike would be gone. -

I never realised it was a fly-on-the-wall series. I might have to go back and watch from the start.

At some future point, that's going to be an interesting read for the morticians

I assume you've seen Eastenders, Corry, Emmerdale et al? And they're just a couple of streets and a rural village.
-
No, do you? It's just different. I'm not trying to argue.

Been on the box since 1990, believe it or not. It's still a decent satirical show IMO. Granted the writing could be better.
-
How then, do you know?

Are you Macintyre's love child or something? He's irritating and spoils the show. He should stick to what he's decent at, stand-up comedy. Having seen him live, that's his best format.

What's wrong with The Wheel? Michael Macintyre, that's what. Shouting to try to sound excited. "SPIN THE WHEEEEEEEEEEL" The premise is decent. He's the issue

Difficult to match the originals for satire and poking fun. Like most good comedy series, they hit a peak and then become more parodies of themselves if allowed to continue, or worse, a "remake". Examples such as Still Open All Hours and Rock and Chips (Only Fools And Horses). It's disappointing when a good comedy series ends but in hindsight it's for the best. (Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, The Office etc)

Particularly true of the series of Amazing Hotels with that bloke that used to be a Judge (Rinder)? And some woman that is a food critic I think. Just C listers paid to visit extremely luxurious hotels in exotic places thereby providing an hours worth of free promotion for the hotels. It's not even a meaningful travelogue.

I can't understand why ITV resurrected it. Or even why it was commissioned in the first place. It's simply a guessing game which the presenter strains every sinew to generate some excitement or jeopardy and the "contestants" (guessers) try to treat every turn as if their life depended on it. Not to mention the fake camaraderie. Double cringe.

I'm A Celebrity, as it's current. The Wheel. Utter shite and Macintyre is a creep. Add yours...

Never a nice thing. When our cat got to the end I had to take him to Leamington as it was out of hours for a local vet. The journey was unbearable with him wheezing and crying and gasping. I've witnessed death in many forms but to have to endure his final moments was heartbreaking.
-
I thought he died in a shower. Or did he reappear post mortem in a shower? Did I dream this?

Anyone who knows anyone on a "cocktail of hard drugs for cancer" will know, that whilst one is fully lucid and aware of everything, it is incapacitating, not "acting strangely" as you suggest. That doesn't distract from the potential misjudgement. But who really knows what his MH state is on any given day?

That used to be so, but my mates added "and avoid the coal hole."

Bacon, sausage, black pudding, all fairly firm but what about fried/poached egg, beans, tomato. Not to mention brown sauce. Did you need one of these?
