I've just watched
'Tina goes Shopping '

www.imdb.com/title/tt0216288/

And 'Tina Takes a Break'

www.imdb.com/title/tt0426601/

Both can be found on YouTube, I remember watching them when they were first shown and thinking 'my god this is depressing' - but they are worth seeing if you've not caught them before.

What televisual treats have you caught of late?

Anybody want a free pair of tickets (can use them any day of the event) to the Grand Designs Live show in Excel London? (http://www.granddesignslive.com)

I won a pair of tickets and Catface was incredibly excited at the idea of being within the actual same building as Kevin McLeod. However, I had to burst his plinky-plinky crescendo of theme tune music bubble when I found out it would cost us £80 on the train to get there and back. So we ain't going. But YOU can. Well, two of you. Or one of you, twice.
