    That sounds English to these American ears.

    You're not reading it right.

    "buzzer, or buzzorr, for Americans."

    You mean "buzzer or buzza for the English"? Most people in California would say laught'rr or buzz'rr, I would say. We have some downright country folks here.

    New series in America started last Sunday called 'Breakout Kings'. Watched the first episode and it's off to a decent start.

    The premise is - In order to catch dangerous escaped convicts, a squad of U.S. Marshals makes a special deal with several lower risk, but specifically skilled current prisoners who have broken out or eluded capture in the past. If they agree to help, their sentences will be reduced and they will be transferred to a minimum-security facility. However, if any of them should try to escape, they will all be returned to their original prisons and their sentences will be doubled.

    But, the really interesting thing is that it's set in the same universe as 'Prison Break', which, as I've pointed out before, is my favourite show of all time, and episode 3 will feature Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell, one of the main characters from Prison Break.

    Good man!

    I also can't believe they cancelled FlashForward, it had a lot of potential.

    Finally decided to watch Lost. The first 3 series are excellent, but I'm half way through the 4th and finding it a bit poo at the moment. Hopefully series 5 and 6 are better.

    I do like the Apprentice. Starts Tuesday. Used to quite like Spooks, Dr Who is good as long as Amy Pond is there, and that's about it.

    Anyone watch the bouncing bomb program the other night? Very good.

    Just finished Lost. Last episode was f**king emotional! For anyone else that may have seen the end and not really understood it, do some research, it certainly makes the ending a lot better and more satisfying when you fully understand it.

    I'd also like to add than John Locke is an absolute legend...

    Anyone else watch Vampire Diaries? Thought it was going to be pure, soppy, vampire cr*p but having just finished the 1st season I have to say it is f**king brilliant.

    Highly recommend it to fans of Supernatural etc.

    I'm slowly working my way through every single episode of Dad's Army. One of the best series ever made.

    Have you got Game of Thrones yonder?

    It's gory, and boob filled, with a ridiculously complex plot, but whatever...I watch it.

    Yeah Fitz, we've got it on "Sky Atlantic" and I watch it as well.

    I was surprised in the context of the storyline about what happened to Sean Beans character, though it was obvious what that little jerk "Jofrey" (spelling), was about to do when the scenario was actually in place.

    Absolutely love it, it's a complex and intriguing show with many twists and turns. Absolutely shocked about Sean Bean's character in the last episode shown over here. I tell you what the Khaleesi bird is fit as, have definately enjoyed a few of her scenes:naughty:

    Also enjoy Blue Bloods how about you guys?

    No reason, just an interesting choice.

    Agreed. Buying all 5 seasons on DVD box set for £60 was bargain of the century!

    I'm not usually one for vampire stuff, I despise all this tarty, modern vampire sh*te like Twilight etc. but Vampire Diaries is just a bit more grown up and less aimed solely at teenage girls, with some very good characters and a strong, exciting story.
