Don't miss the return of.......

Not really sure whether it's "the return of ......", but tomorrow (Wednesday) BBC2 at 9 o'clock, an hour-long special looking at the brilliance & subsequent demise of Alex Higgins.

Shaggy365 · **Posted:** 04 Sep 2010, 07:07

Coming up on Friday 9:00pm BBC1, the new series of New Tricks.

This is England '86 on Tuesday, Channel 4, 10pm, I think. Not a return series but a four part follow up to the film "This is England" which was set in 1983. It follows the fortunes of the original gang.

Anyone know when 'An Idiot Abroad' starts. Following Ricky Gervais' friend Karl Pilkington as he travels around the World, despite hating anything foreign. Sky 1, looks like being very funny.

Also, when does the new series of 'The Inbetweeners' start.

The new series of the Inbetweeners started last Tuesday. I nearly missed it. Same cast of characters and Jay came out with a classic line after being dumped :lol:

Edit - no it didn't, see post below

I can't find this on 4OD. The only one on there is the last ep from series 2. Was it definitely a new one?

According to wikipedia: A third series [of The Inbetweeners] was commissioned by E4, and will air from 13 September 2010.

So what was it I watched last Tuesday ? Pretty sure it wasn't a repeat but then again I had just come back from the pub.

Sounds like the last episode of the second series?

The original film is on tonight I think for those that either haven't seen it, or like me need to be reminded what happened before watching the series

Oiii ! Just let it go quietly, please...

OK I'll move the thread on...to a series which is the antithesis of the previously mentioned TV show.

Mad Men, the oft-mentioned antidote to most modern TV, returns to BBC Four on the 8th at 10pm.

Totally wrong image but what the hell:

Watched the last 25 minutes of this last night (missed the start) - was literally crying with laughter & still chuckling away 10 minutes after it had finished. Had to stop, pause & rewind 3 times as we were laughing so much we missed what was being said. I suspect this preview show may be funnier than the show itself but I am really looking forward to watching this.

Karl Pilkington, whilst clearly not an idiot, gives a real sideways look at travelling abroad. Don't want to spoil it for anyone but if you haven't seen this yet, then find it on Skyplayer & watch it.

First part (of 8) just finished. I laughed until I cried :lol:

I'm glad it's on Sky as the ad breaks allow me to compose myself for the next part. The best hour's TV I have watched in a long, long time.

Fascinating insight into China but so, so funny - India & the Taj Mahal next week, can't wait.

Just a reminder that 'The Apprentice' (finally :roll:

Just watched it. The kids seemed a lot more scripted than in previous series. Now Karen is coming across as a smart-arse precocious brat, rather than an innocent who hits the nail on the head while the grown-ups are flustering about. Still a couple of laugh out loud moments though.

Started watching this on Gold.Quite funny.
