# I'm 33 and like sci-fi, just find Doctor Who too nonsensical and comedy cheap
I thought that they'd try and get away from the old style and make it more credible.

# then it would have alienated all those old fans who remembered the 'old style' with fondness
and would have kicked up a stink if it didn't cater to them...

At the end of the day, it's still a program that has good grounds for entertainment, and
it tries to entertain me direct, without me having to 'cast my vote', ring, text or
part with any hard earned cash to keep it going.

This is partly why it gets my vote for Saturday Night viewing

# true
in comparison to everything else on on a Saturday night (except You've been framed which I will never tire of) it is streets ahead.

# hahaha, yup:
You've Been Framed (now on a rise again for me since HH took over the voiceover)
TV Burp
Doctor Who

Then out and about or doing something else, as it
all gets crappy from then on

# I love how TV Burp
features 99% programmes I've never watched or sometimes even heard of and yet I find it such compulsive viewing.

Harry Hill is a light entertainment version of Vic and Bob at their prime.

# this is good, kindred spirits....
I don't watch any of the programs he goes on about,
but I must thank him for three things:

1.) The Phrase "Coconut Tinderbundle... That's one of Bob Geldof's kids isn't it"?

2.) "Her Majesty is woken up every morning with a cup of tea and a slice of toast, whereas Prince Philip gets a Twix and a carton of Um Bongo".

3.) ALL the Bear Grylls stuff

# HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
the Um Bongo comment made me immediately turn to Mrs Toast and say, that's what I want to wake up to. :D

# the spitting out of the seeds from the berries after watching the Ray Mears thing
counts as one of my favourite television moments of the year

# ^this
actually i'm off now to watch the other Simon Pegg in MI:3 on DVD and waiting for a pizza - not holding much hope for the film, but will look forward to his appearance in any case

# You may enjoy your pizza more than the film...
but Phillip Seymour Hoffman is quite good in it,
as am I...

# It had it's day from what I remember with Tom Baker and some commendable budgets in the 70's
and quality scripts as well, like the Talons of Wang Chung, the Robots of Death, and the Genesis of the Daleks, but lost it's way IMO during the 80's.

Quite frankly, i'm enjoying the new stuff, perhaps because how let down I felt by the 80's Doctor Who. It's early evening fun!

/36 I think
