It’s a rainy bank holiday weekend. I’m surfing 500 channels of satellite TV just to see what’s there. Total Wipeout USA, in which contestants take part in a series of silly, oversized, water based obstacle courses, is very funny. The serious-looking commentators in fact make very dry jokes.
This is an actual episode synopsis from a soap opera called The Bold and the Beautiful:
Storm kills himself after accidentally shooting Katie and his heart is used as a transplant organ for her, while Donna and Eric prepare to get married.
A TV commercial for Curry’s is offering £10 money back for every goal England score in the World Cup, when you spend £600 on a TV. I wonder how expensive that will be for them.
I found a good programme. How It’s Made does exactly what it says on the tin, explaining how various items are manufactured. It’s the sort of programme I’d want my kids to watch. It nicely demonstrates the message of I, Pencil.
Now I have found the British Touring Car Championship on ITV4, and the rain is making it interesting. I’ll watch that for a bit.
