Walking dead season is over, trying to get into fear the walking dead, tonight's show really helped! OMG they never tried anything like that on the original! Very clever.

I've just begun watching Peaky Blinders. Looks good.

C'mon, surely you know that is was a line used by Marge Downey as the SBS woman on Full Frontal.

No. Perhaps she got it from my Dad, though - I learnt it from him at the kitchen table in 1963.

And was that in response to your father watching Swedish programmes?

Perhaps we're talking completely at cross purposes? I was setting the Dvd recorder for today's Collingwood game and I noticed there is a game show with this title on SBS2 today. I thought it was pretty funny (especially the incongruity of the concept of a Swedish ninja) but perhaps you don't?

Was a 6 part series on BBC First on Foxtel, just finished. Has Hugh Laurie (Dr House) and Tom Hiddleston. Awesome show, and hellllooo Tom, where have you been all my life?? (have googled since I first laid eyes on him in this and he's been in those Thor movies with Hemsworth, but what a honey!)
He plays Loki, great actor, been watching all the Marvel movies with Alex over the last month or so.

That show looks good, just checked it on IMDB, going to download and give it a go. Just got through final seasons of Mad Men and Breaking Bad so been at a loss for what to watch. Always feel so empty when a long running series ends.

Nah, it was Marg as the SBS information guide presenter for sure but talking about the forthcoming documentary on the struggle of Bolivian Lint-Pickers Association. Riveting too I think she said :wink:

Not funny, wpt. I didn't like being accused of lifting someone else's joke the first time. I didn't and I wouldn't.

Your callous disregard for the plight of the Bolivian Navel Lint Pickers is duly noted.
