| | contemplative | ] | Well it's nearly the end of term so I've got a bit of time to do stuff like this (nicked from ghyste ) :-
1. Name TV a series in which you have seen every episode at least twice:
Oohh, plenty - *takes deep breath* Doctor Who (existing episodes although I've heard the others on audio), The Sarah Jane Adventures, Sapphire & Steel, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman, Friends, Seinfeld, As Time Goes By, Are You Being Served, Grace & Favour, The Tomorrow People, Inspector Morse, Poirot, The Avengers, Ab Fab, The New Avengers, Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) (original), Dinnerladies, Victoria Wood - As Seen On TV, Jane Eyre (1973 Version), Fawlty Towers, Little Britain, The Sweeney, Not Going Out, Planet Of the Apes (TV series)
2. Name a show you can't miss.
At the moment anything Who related, anything with Victoria Wood.
3. Name an actor that would make you more inclined to watch a show.
Geoffrey Palmer, Julie Walters, Victoria Wood, John Thaw (when he was alive), Miranda Hart, Lee Mack, Jerry Seinfeld, Julia-Louis Dreyfus and numerous ex or current Who actors such as Louise Jameson, Colin Baker etc etc
4. Name an actor who would make you less likely to watch a show.
Probably those ex-soap stars like Ross Kemp, Tamsin Outhwaite and the like
5. Name a show you can, and do, quote from.
Victoria Wood - As Seen On TV, Friends
6. Name a show you like that no one else enjoys.
Sleepwalkers - which no-one seems to have heard of. For others it's more "No-one else is bothered about" rather than "no-one else enjoys". Current and relatively recent ones would include Miranda, Not Going Out, The Kevin Bishop Show and The New Adventures Of Old Christine which is on it's 5th season in the US but we've only had the 1st two over here.
7. Name a TV show that you've been known to sing the theme song.
Wonder Woman, Friends
8. Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch.
Victoria Wood - As Seen On TV, Dinnerladies and the first 5 seasons of Are You Being Served.
9. Name a TV series you own.
Aside from the ones in Q1 - The X-Files, Sledge Hammer, Torchwood, Will & Grace, Tenko, Cold Feet, Outside Edge, Butterflies, A Fine Romance, The Lone Gunmen, This Life, Midsomer Murders, Survivors, Blakes Seven
10. Name an actor who has launched his/her entertainment career in another medium, but has surprised you with his/her acting chops in television.
Billie Piper maybe ?
11. What is your favourite episode of your favourite series?
Doctor Who - The Androids Of Tara Others include "Kill Oscar" - The Bionic Woman, "Secret Weapon" - The Tomorrow People "4D" - The X-Files, "Masonic Mysteries" - Inspector Morse
12. Name a show you keep meaning to watch, but you just haven't gotten around to yet.
None - if I'm not watching it or recording it and know I will have no more than 3 eps to catch up with then I don't bother even starting.
13. Ever quit watching a show because it was so bad?
Buffy after Season 5 & Angel after Season 3 - I just got fed up with them and didn't feel inspired to tune in. I still have no idea how Buffy ended !! I drifted in and out of The X-Files for a couple of seasons towards the end but I loved Season 9 and the dragged me back in again.
14. Name a show that’s made you cry multiple times.
New Doctor Who and also a few Morse episodes particularly "Dead On Time".
15. What do you eat while you watch TV?
Nothing really - I generally don't watch TV while eating a meal but will have a cup of tea, glass of wine and a biscuit etc while watching.
16. How often do you watch TV?
Not very often anymore - there's very little I watch due to time contraints. I can't follow a series as I don't have time so I tend to watch throwaway TV or short-run sit-coms hence my love of Miranda which is nice and compact with just 6 episodes !!
17. What’s the last TV show you watched?
Strictly Come Dancing, Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two, Miranda and Harry Hill's TV Burp are my current viewing of choice. I'm also watching Art Of Russia on BBC4 as I have a bizarre crush on art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon !!
18. What’s your favourite/preferred genre of TV?
SF/Fantasy, Drama and comedy - there's not a huge amount out there at the moment but some real gems have come along recently such as Miranda with the fabulous Miranda Hart. However, with SF and Fantasy the only things I watch are Doctor Who and associated spin-offs - nothing else.
19. What was the first TV show you were obsessed with?
The Six Million Dollar Man - I wished for bionics at age 6, oblivious to the reality that I would have to have most of my limbs amputated for that dream to come true.
20. What TV show do you wish you had never watched?
Can't think of any - sometimes you stumble over some crap but I've obviously flushed it from my brain.
21. What’s the weirdest show you enjoyed?
No idea - Art Of Russia maybe ??!!
22. What TV show scared you the most?
How - well just the opening title music actually. Also Space:1999 particularly "The Bringers Of Wonder" episodes.
23. What’s the funniest TV show you’ve ever watched?
Victoria Wood - As Seen On TV |
