It's really good. Even the end is good. If you power-watch it, I doubt you'll notice any decline. I loved it all, and am quite sad it's ended.

Just saw it. Decent doc.
Those lads who took another inmate hostage and told him to strip and threatened him with rape were nasty pieces of work.
Then as the programme finished the voiceover said they took another guy hostage 2 weeks later.
A lot different from when I spent my time inside, more gang related problems now.

Mugz mentioned his KFC value meal in another thread, so it reminded me on Ch4 there is a program about the rise of fried chicken places in the UK.
9PM , Will be watching the footy of course, but will check it out on 4OD
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-fried-chicken-shop-life-in-a-day
In Britain, chicken used to be a luxury. We used to eat the equivalent of just one a year. Now we slaughter over three and half million a day - and eat more of it than any other meat. How and where we eat chicken has changed and our high streets are changing with it. There are now over 2100 chicken shops in the UK in a fast-food market worth over £4 billion per year.
Roosters Spot is an up and coming franchise in the increasingly competitive market of fried chicken. Exploring the phenomenal rise in public affection for everything fried chicken through a single shop in south London, this Cutting Edge documentary offers a unique and intriguing insight into contemporary London life.
A 'mini-rig' of fixed cameras provides unprecedented access to Roosters Spot's flagship store on south London's party-strip, Clapham High Street. Flooded with regulars in the week and revellers on the weekend, it's a space that feels unpredictable at times and life-affirming at others.
No two days or nights are the same, and at the weekend the staff serve up to a thousand customers a night and stay open until 6am.The Roosters team, working on both the front line and breadline of Britain, reveal their personal experiences of what it's like to serve the great British public. The Chicken Shop is a place anyone can come, anything can happen and where, most of the time, anything goes.

Them lads on the prison docu last night made total dicks out of themselves. Proper hardcore cons would have been laughing thier stones off.
I just couldn't imagine any con co-operating with the mufty squad after trashing thier pad, even if they knew they would get twatted. They would go down fighting Charlie Bronson stylee.

Supersize vs Superskinny: the modern day freak show?
I don't agree with this programme and the "feeding clinic" just sounds so wrong!
Anyone agree/disagree with me on this?
Ps, I can't turn it off though.

That Fried Chicken programme was pretty good I thought 
Watching Storyville now, excellent, TPB-AFK , all about the Pirate Bay and the trial. Usual excellent production from Storyville, and TPB crew are very very funny, cool, and Swedish...

I do find it interesting how some folk can get by on eating so very little food while others eat far more food than I could ever get down me.
I find it hard to put weight on regardless of how much I eat. If I eat a little I stay a constant weight and if I eat a lot I still remain at the same weight.

^ Are Storyville showing TPB-AFK, MM? Surprised at that seeing as it was only released independently a coupla weeks ago afaik. Creative Commons licence though so free for all. Didn't realise the BBC had a finger in the pie. Not fussed though as it's a decent doc. Seemed pretty balanced to me for the most part. Turned somewhat anti-pirate towards the end but by that stage 2/3 of the accused were acting such dicks they brought it on themselves. A real shame what the combination of youthful idealism, uberego and half the world cheering you on can end up as ![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
TPB is still a quality site though
On the ITV prison doc, was also surprised at how rough things have got. Or have been portrayed as. Never been inside but know plenty who have. And inside Aylesbury for that matter. Not sure if they're playing up the gang violence aspect cos it's ITV (almost certainly the case) or if it genuinely reflects how things have changed. Do think that excessive violence towards folk who have fuck all to do with owt - and certainly the casual tossing round of threats of such - has massively increased these last few years. That kinda stuff used to be more kept for genuine "disagreements" rather than tossed about willynilly from the little I know. But I know little so heyho.

yeah, BBC4, just finished. I agree, I started off finding them very ummm, agreeable..and by the end rather more disagreeable...
Still on BBC4, a programme about model railways and the people who love them. (edit>>>it's a bit shit actually, gonna watch last night's Black mirror instead) (edit2>>the model railway programme is weirdly fascinating, I'll wait and watch Black Mirror tomorrow)

That'll be Timewatch on the model railways. They've cornered the market on "weird shit I'd never be interested in but dammit they went and made it interesting anyway" stuffs. Watched one of theirs on the history of bingo t'other day. More interesting than you'd think. One of their properly interesting ones about healthcare before the NHS has just been repeated and is on iPlayer at the moment too. Worth a watch. Although train sets and bingo is probably more fun 
Did any of y'all have a trainset? I did. Fuckloads of it. All boxed up 364 days of the year cos although theoretically mine it was very much not mine but actually me auld man's and he only tried setting it up when he was onna massive speed bender 8)

Yes, I remember having a train set. Twas awesome.
Always wanted one of those proper setups with the fake lil trees and houses, etc.
Some cool lil trains had smoke generating devices built in so it would look like actual steam was coming out of the chimney.
Now I want a train set.

Daddy Dearest did actually do the whole landscaping bizniz ferra while, Cornish. Don't remember it being especially impressive though. I do remember getting (again, technically my xmas prezzy but was I fuck ever gonna be allowed to actually use it - was clearly bought for himself :D) a kinda spacetrainset thingy. Looked awesome but never really had it set up properly. Was a monorail thingy that you stuck to walls and ceilings or whatever with a spaceship thingy with a detector thingy on it and a lightgun thingy you could shoot it with. Not that it ever got set up so never really got to use it but looked like I'd've had mucho fun if I'd ever been allowed to anyway :D
Currently watching Litter Wars on iPlayer. Have a fondness for these vaguely mocking but in an affectionate stylee "eccentrics" kinda docs. About old people who wander around parks picking up other folks' dogshit, tutting a lot and bemoaning the yoof of today. Nice that somebody does - is a shitty job and somebody has to do it when the owners don't seem to bother with in some places. The cataloguing, photograph-collecting, CCTV surveillence aspect is perhaps a tad obsessive though :D

The Fried Chicken shop programme was great, really thought provoking. It was a snapshot of all facets of todays society, good and bad. The lovely worker who travelled an hour and half to do a long shift for minimum wage Loved the dealer dashing in to say 'MDMA & Charlie, call me anytime 24 hours' and handed over his business card. Really good, worth a watch if anyone missed it.

Two films from the 80's on ITV.4 tonight.
Mad Max 2 is on at 9pm and a great film based on a true story 'McVicar' starts at 11pm.

Law & Order Criminal Intent .
The other variants are sketchy but don't let that put you off .
This is fantastic & very addictive mainly cos of Vincent D'Onofrio as Detective . Robert Goren. One of the best charcters on T.V . He is nothing like your stereotypical Cop & his chemistry with Kathryn Erbe ( Oz ) DEt. Eames is superb .
I assure you that this is so much more than another Cop show . It's on Channel 5 @ 22;25 at least catch it on +1 or record it i promise it's worth watching .
Don't confuse with Law & Order Special Victims
