Who has the biggest balls of steel

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 26 April 2008 03:00 (A review of Balls of Steel)

This has to be one of the best shows I've ever seen makes me proud to be from england. This show is all about 12 comedians which do stupid stuff to win the balls of steel award 6 take part each week. Mark Dolan presents this show giving us jokes along the way.

The acts are Alex Zane and his unfair gameshows, The Pain Men taking different stunt such as hitting a nail in there hand or a sander on there bum pretty painfully, worlds worst who was in series 1 he did such things as be a london cabbie and a barman, Annoying Devil set out to make peoples life a living hell, Big Gay Following who will go up to men and say you fancy a bum, Neg and his urban sports running from security guards and then he does the rodeo jumping on peoples back then there was knock the door don't run getting people mad, Toju the Militant Black Guy who will see words such as black pudding, raccoon etc as racial slurs, The Bunny Boiler who likes to hit on other womens men to get there reaction, Prank TV this is pranking people in different ways.

Coming to series 2 was Johnathan Goodwin attempts dangerous escapes with his father, the f**kers who will do sex anywhere in a bar in front of people in a car show room, Mr Inappropriate who teaches students swearing etc and doing rude stuff in public places.

Series 3 had The Nob Jockey a jockey who does not ride on horses but on people, The B***ard in Black a football ref who gets everything wrong, Scummy Mummy a mother who has a child or baby such as seeing a rection of a guy at a tattoo place of a baby getting a tattoo of cause he doesnt let this happen on top of that Scummy Mummy has a foul mouth.

This is one of the most criticized programs on tv one of them been tom cruise getting squirted in the face with water in the fake microphone the producer done this stunt on him and he spent the night in jail. They done the same stunt on Sharon Osborne but she got her own back as she picked up a bucket of water and shot it right at the camera.

Now Channel 4 have brought out the Balls Of Steel DVD showing all of Series 1 you can see all of those classic moments over and over again its worth buying. If you have never seen this check it out you can see this on youtube or if you have channel 4 you can watch it there. The dvd is also out now so check it out

This is comedy yeah right

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 26 April 2008 12:59 (A review of "Benidorm")

Benidorm is about people on a hoilday resort in Benidorm.

I find this show unfunny with a boring set of characters put into the show. For instants you have an old woman going around on a scooter she looks more like shes trying to be a teenager. Her husband in the show wears earrings an old man does quite sad he really skinny. As for the show does it have a plot i don't know i never took much notice but seeing a bad cast. Avoid this because i don't know how people even find it funny it sucks. Cheap Jokes and as i said the cast is terrible.

On the last note the old woman looks like shes been tangoed.

original Skins cast leaves

Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago on 14 April 2008 05:23 (A review of "Skins")

Series 1 was great Series 2 was pretty good i am annoyed that all the cast from these to Series 2 of Skins are leaving and been replaced for a new cast in Series 3.

The last one on Series 2 really gave a good scene which was true Tony and Sid style when they steal a coffin which was there friend. That scene was funny and great.

It is a shame to see the cast go because most of them were great and i for one am not looking forward to seeing a new cast to me Skins should end because i don't think you will find a better cast then the original.

I have to say though with the end of the cast Sid was my favorite his character was entertaining and is the most realistic of them all. 2nd favorite would be Tony he was so funny in Series 1 but never showed much in Series 2 only in the final episode

TNA = Boring

Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago on 13 April 2008 11:16 (A review of "TNA Impact! Wrestling")

TNA for me is the worst wrestling show i have seen no story line build ups. This really comes up as a big rip off of WCW the only thing is it is no where as good. TNA hire most WWE wrestlers which have failed or left due to reasons. I can't really say a good thing about TNA because the whole thing just gets boring along with a bunch of wrestlers which are pathetic and i don't mean Kurt Angle he is the only one on the show with real class.

Great from the start worse at the end

Posted : 3 months, 3 weeks ago on 29 March 2008 07:26 (A review of "Bad Girls")

Bad Girls was a prison drama the show was great during it's first run with people like Shall Dockley played by Debra Stevenson who gave excitement to the show. Yvonne Akins played by Linda Henry as these left the show it started turning out as a comedy. There was no realism in the show as near the end you had ghosts appearing which was silly. With people on the show like Amanda Barrie and the other girl with her you know your going to get a crap show and yes we did.

The first lot of the series would get a 9/10 because it was real and not over the top. Adding with classic acting from Debra Stevenson who was the one who made you watch this show.

The end of the series would get from me 2/10 for it's complete loss of ideas and with bad storylines.

Great Show

Posted : 4 months, 1 week ago on 17 March 2008 11:10 (A review of "Spaced")

Spaced is a great show starting Simon Pegg as Tim and Jessica Stevenson now Jessica Hynes who plays daisy these two both write the show. Well Tim and Daisy both meet in cafe Daisy looking for a flat mate every day their friendship is getting better. Daisy then finds a flat but the advert says it's for couples so Daisy and Tim pretend to be a couple so they can get the flat. Thats the the beginning of the series.

We meet other people Marsha Klein who is played by Julia Deakin she is the landlady of the house and she always seems drunk. Brian Topp who is played by Mark Heap lives on the bottom floor a bit of a weird guy who makes art and has something going on with Marsha. Mike Watt played by Nick Frost is Tim's best friend and is an Army guy who is a funny character. Then there is Twist Morgan played by Katy Carmichae who is daisy's best friend.
Not forgetting Colin who is Daisy's pet dog the dog's real name is Ada but also seen on Spaced as Aida.
The show is directed from the man who brought you Hot Fuzz and Shaun of The Dead Edgar Write

This show is great which any someone who has Virgin Media TV can watch it for free anytime Spaced series 1 and 2 on the Virgin on demand part of 4OD.

Miss It not worth watching

Posted : 4 months, 3 weeks ago on 2 March 2008 06:51 (A review of Gavin & Stacey)

This is one of the worst programs that i have seen it was boring and unfunny. The cast look like they try so hard to even make it funny. I think its terrible how you pay for a TV license from a terrible show from the BBC it sucks. I find it just as bad as The Office. The show is to over hyped and most of the people who find it funny i am guessing they don't even know humor AVOID this and watch a real show Skins.

Good for adults not for children

Posted : 5 months ago on 20 February 2008 06:10 (A review of Happy Tree Friends)

Happy Tree Friends is a pretty good show just never let children watch it as the amount of cartoon violence that happens of the different ways these little animals die is funny from time to time.
