I head up the campaign to erase off the planet every edition of Gavin & Stacey

Enough to be going on with, I think.

You know I find your politics dodgy at best. However we are wholly united on David Jason and the feckin awful show.

Also cold feet

Wouldn't really know. As the thread title says, its stuff you've never seen.

Isn't there lots of shagging in it? I've never seen it.

Someone on here described the third season as having more nipples and flanges than a plumbing supplier

I'm with you on most of this other than only fools, absolute classic!

I've tried 4 times to watch star wars (the first ever film) and always fall asleep half way through. Game of thrones I watched the first couple of series of and binned. Can't be dealing with it, it's like Warhammer on TV, nerdy.

American football is s***e, no idea how anyone in the UK can get into that.

Breaking Bad and Homeland passed me by but I'm catching up with the latter on Netflix

And until recently I hadn't seen Terminator. It was crap.

Define crap?

Off hand, I can't think of any classics that I haven;t seen.
So here is a list of 'classics' that people seem to love that I have seen and thought were very annoying, awful or seriously overrated.

Friends.

Casablanca
Star Wars
2001: A Space Odyssey
Only Fools And Horses
The Wizard Of OZ
Top Gun
Willy Wonka
Clockwork Orange
Kelly's Heroes. (like Clint, hate that film)
A Wonderful Life
The Matrix


I'll think of some more.

I thought Game of Thrones was fantasy cobblers as well, which is something that doesn’t float my boat. Until I watched every series back to back just before the last series to see what all the fuss was about and was blown away how brilliant it was. Close to being one of the best things I’ve ever seen on TV. I think as well as the murder and mayhem, it’s great drama from good actors as well.

Not sure it qualifies as a classic, but I was getting nagged from various people when it was on to watch ‘shameless’ but never fancied it. I think it all looked a bit too northern for me

The first series was excellent but it went rapidly downhill very quickly

Blimey in that case they managed to string it out a bit, there was eleven series apparently!!

Can see your point save casablanca which I can only assume was a typo. Did you mean predator?

How much of it is there to watch? Series, episodes, hours/minutes?

I may watch it one day. Has it ended or will it end, or do you have to catch up while it’s still being aired?

There’s been seven series so far, I think the first six series had ten episodes, with series seven having seven episodes, the final series starts in April which I believe has six. Each episode is about and hour if I remember right, a bit longer for each season finale

You know you want to

That includes 15 minutes of adverts

I was a latecomer to the series and bought the first three or four series on DVD. If you have a decent sound system the sound is stunning but unfortunately it's nowhere near as good on Sky as the sound is too compressed

I have never seen the appeal of Casablanca.

Predator is awful too but that is part of its charm.

My favorite bits are where someone treads on a scorpion and it is the wrong way round when he lifts his foot and in the original cut, Carl Weathers clearly has his arm tied behind his back when supposedly it had been blown off.

I watched the box sets on sky and there was no adverts and I’m sure it was still an hour, but I stand corrected if I’m wrong because it was the summer before last I watched them all.

Spot on about the sound, I had my sound bar on if it wasn’t too late and the battle field scenes, especially when the dragons were involved was mind blowing
