Dick Smith Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 [quote user="Dotty "][quote user="Dick Smith"]Is she out? I was watching Timewatch and missed it.[/quote]Who?[/quote]It was a really odd one I hadn't seen, apparently some Icelandic volcano erupted in 17nn and the gases were jetstreamed over England and caused thousands of excess deaths - it was the second hottest summer on record, apparently. Especially if you were near the volcano, I guess. I thought BB carried on longer, and when I changed channels it was finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 [quote user="KathyC"][quote user="Russethouse"] What I always felt about Jade was that what she lacked in academic education she sort of made up for in application. I think she has had two reality TV shows based on her - her beauty salon and her search for a PA and written ( ghosted ) a book. She also promotes her perfume etc, so in some ways that 'work hard to succeed' message could be positive.[/quote]Sorry RH, you must have a different definition of "hard work" from the one I use.[/quote]Well perhaps 'hard work' was the wrong expression, but she somehow has managed to make deals etc and I believe is (perhaps was is a better term) worth £4 million ! She had certainly made a lot out of a very small opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I think she has 'people' on a percentage for all of that. The dishonesty was seen in the exercise video/liposuction episode, for me. A construct of other people's minds, for their profit as well as hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 [quote user="Will "][quote user="Miki"]listening and half watching Folk Hibernia on BBC 4......[/quote]Glad to see you have the best possible taste Miki.[/quote] Will, Next Fridayis J.J Cale, same time, same channel. I truly feel BBC 4 has been very good, if only for its regular good music. Damien Dempsey was on near the end and he really is supposed to be good to see live.

Catalpa Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I think I read (validity of my memory and the information could both be questioned) that Jade, Davina McCall and Dermot thingy all have the same agent. Edit:My memory appears to be okay and I think the info is too.http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/sarita_malik/2007/01/the_world_is_watching.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 BBC4 is very good. Did you see the evening based around the Eagles and LA rock?There was a short Carole King programme a few weeks ago, which was a little gem. Lots of nice stuff, but could do with a few more French movies, such as BBC2 used to show in the old Film Club slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Watching BB now, and the McColl is mildly rebuking her...Jade is justifying herself - doesn't seem to think she has done anything wrong. Like every bully I have ever spoken to.I have read that a bookie has put out a 'contract' out on her - £2500 to anyone who 'pies' her in public.

Miki Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Will and Dick,Not sure if you turned on to performance (on Ch 271) and saw Roy Orbison with several guest artists, inc the Boss, Elvis Costello and Graham Nash among others. Never saw it all but Tina said it was pretty good. Knowing Performance, it will repeated again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I saw the end, very good. I expect they will repeat it.Annoyingly, BBC4 has never repeated the Carole King set, which I wanted to record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I saw the Carole King prog (not taped, sorry) and last week, she was on again, albeit briefly with that LA programme about the 60's people. where it was mentioned how many had lived up in the hills. As you can tell, I have forgotten the name of the prog (did it show !!)Good to see the younger faces of Taylor, Neil Young and too many to mention inc someone I used to like, having heard him play in Spain around that period, Stephen Stills, who was actually with David Crosby.

It filled in lots of gaps in my memory and made me realise how I've never really appreciated the difference between the LA and SF music scenes in the 60s and 70s.

I had a friend we all called Croz, who was a ringer for David Crosby, sadly no longer with us. Seeing James Taylor as young as that, brought back memories from many years ago. Good to see The Man, Dylan, albeit briefly as well.You can be sure that at some time Perfromance will repeat the Roy Orbison programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Read Ben Eltons 'Dead Famous'.A really good story set in BB house. I am sure most of the observations are pretty accurate,the main one being that the production company can manipulate conversations,edited and out of context, and have people voted out in THEIR preferred order. My wife remembers 'I'm a celebrity' where the 1st voted off was showed to be the most boring person on the face of the earth,and later seeing the others in shock that the life and soul of the group had been voted off 1st!

ali-cat Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Mark & I thought that the Hotel California programme was one of the best things we've seen in a long time. As was the Neil Young BBC concert shown a few nights later. He played (as he said) "a few new songs" - Harvest, Old Man etc. Boy, did it make me feel old!!Saw Neil Young, in Dublin a few years ago & James Taylor, in Belfast & they were as both good as I hoped & remembered!!
