Must see TV - Week beginning 17/09/2016 - My Choice

My TV has been full of the Paralympics for the last week or so and I have been enjoy The Last Leg chat show. Taking a quick look at next week in the week there was much to be excited about and with Channel 4 pumping out a lot of new stuff and returning shows it will be busy.

Highlight of the week was news about Home and Away. Toadfish is to be reunited with his dead wife Dee, after 13 years when their car crashed into the sea and was never seen again until now.

Saturday Sky Sports 1 – Cardiff City v Leeds United 12noon

The only thing worth watching today for this armchair Cardiff City fan. I will explain why the armchair thingy one day it is still a bit personal but one day I will open up about it. We are having (sorry) an absolutely SHIT start to the season with just one win back in August with a 2-1 against fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers who lost midweek to today’s visitors Leeds.

Will another defeat for City see a change in management from what I can see the fans a split 50/50 on the subject. It is a must win game as we need to be moving up the right end of the league table.

Sunday Vintage TV Ranking Roger: My Vintage 5pm

I have always been a Beat fan or if you are American (English) Beat, they knocked out some top tunes back in the day being part of the Two Tone explosion in the late seventies and early eighties. One of my favourite Beat track heavily features Ranking Roger - Ranking Full Stop

His choice of tunes will stretch from The Specials and The Clash, headline on the ultimate song list of the singer of seminal ska band The Beat.
Sky Cinema Premiere – Last Stop 10:05pm

After a train wreck, four passengers from different walks of life are trapped together and share their recent nightmares. Masked killers, Bigfoot, crazed lovers and a Satanic cult are just the beginning of the terror as this group quickly realizes that they may have experienced more than a dream and the true nightmare is about to begin.

Tuesday Channel4 - It Was Alright in the 1970s 10pm

Looking back to the 70’s. I am the 70’s I constantly relive the era in my mind from secondary school to manhood it was the melting pot that made me. This show like many in this gene looks back on TV of the time. Focusing on the comedies, documentaries, and public information that made people anxious.

Wednesday Channel4 – Grand Designs 9pm

How great is this a new mouth-watering series to make you jealous of someone else’s home? In this episode a couple bought half an acre of woodland in the middle of Dursley. They were told they’d never get planning permission but they did with strict building restrictions it seemed an impossible build but they got around it by building a tree house. Described as a floating home, high up in the trees that will astound us. Presenter Kevin McCloud will probably be suitably impressed.

Thursday Channel4 – George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces 8pm

More quirky stuff to get excited about with architect George Clarke. The show celebrates small builds from a shed to some eccentric amazing space. We have an eco-friendly tree house on this show complete with sauna, spiral staircase and even a slide. Another project is a pair of newlyweds plan to transform an old army truck into a mobile holiday home.

Friday Channel4 – Gogglebox 9pm

Ordinary folk talking about the last week on TV but are the ‘ordinary’ now more like mini celebrities but still I like the show. One change and a big one Caroline Aherne RIP, will not be on hand for the voiceover. Her voice will be missed. All the old favourites will be back hopefully and my favourites Leon and June.
I just hope they don’t plug X Factor every week.
