Cc Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Who else on the site is Robson Green fan? Most famous here in the US for the PBS series 'Touching Evil'. Has been on many other shows on BBC America. You guys in the UK probably have more Robson than you like,but I can't get enough here in the US. Second most popular for me: Derval Kirwan and Stephen Tompkinson.(From Ballykissangel).And other programs. [ 04-22-2004, 02:10 AM: Message edited by: Cc ]

Forget American TV the British make 100% better TV shows all around from comedies to mysteries.

Its amazing,finally BBC AMERICA has some decent shows on. Check the BBC America Website for details. And in case the rest of you dudes don't have any idea what I am talking about,you are missing out on some supper good 'telly'. Check you local PBS, if that thats a no go ,get satelite,DIRECT or DISH. No ,I am not getting a commission. Edit: I'm serious,some PBS stations have a lot of British shows on. Not necessarily the ones I am talking about,but some.

I like the commercial for that. "An english man, an Irishman enter a bar.. What is this some kinda joke." . Oh yeah, the only thing that was driving me crazy about that channel was/is them damn house redux shows over and over and over again all bloody day and night. Like Changing rooms, House invaders, Ground force etc... As for the PBS stations that's where I got my first taste of english programs long before there was a BBC-America.

Cc Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Posted April 29, 2004 Come on guys/gals in the UK. What is your favorite Robson Green show or movie? How about Grafters? Edit: One of my favorites. [ 04-28-2004, 09:48 PM: Message edited by: Cc ]
Pugwash Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Every show is as bad as the other. Thank God he's been off our screens for a while or is it I've been lucky and managed to miss what ever rubbish he's in now.
Cc Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Posted April 29, 2004 A honest opinion. Don't agree at all, but that's cool. OK, what is your favorite? Edit : Other than Robson. I mean what is your favorite show now? On the BBC? Edit twice: I can't watch your favorite,but I can check the website.Plus my local PBS is always looking for good 'British Telly'.

Pugwash Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 DonÔÇÖt tend to watch that much TV any more it's all rubbish, repeats, soaps (which I never watch) or game shows (which includes those garden, house, lifestyle, etc make over programs). I tend to end up watching Sci-Fi on Sky 1, UK history (watch that for 6 months and you have seen there entire schedule) or just have MTV on in the background. CanÔÇÖt remember the last show that I had to make a point of watching or videoed if I was out! 24 hour news is another good one to have on in the background.
Cc Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Posted April 29, 2004 Well.. huh , your not giving me much to work with... However,it seems like you could be a possible 'Doctor Who' fan ? How's that for a guess? If so, who is your favorite Doctor? Tom Baker is my favotite. I believe the Doctor is comming back to the BBC?

Same here Tom Baker is my favorite Dr. Who also. new Who
Pugwash Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Well I have to agree with you on that one Second favourite would have to be John Pewtree. So I hear, but theyÔÇÖll pander to the AmericanÔÇÖs again and create another disaster like that last film. Or theyÔÇÖll just throw money at it like they did with the last series of RED Dwarf American interference again.
Cc Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Posted April 29, 2004 Thanks for the link. I also would like to know who else in the UK, or any other place in the world ,is a 'Doctor Who' fan?

No favorite. The word "exterminate" still gives me the shivers ... in my head, I always hear it coming from a metal voicebox.
Cc Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Posted May 4, 2004 quote: [From Pugwash] DonÔÇÖt tend to watch that much TV any more it's all rubbish, repeats, soaps Just checked the BBC.CO.UK website and I have to agree. Seems like 'Eastenders' is the only show on.(BBC America had 'Eastenders' on for quite a while,watched a few episodes, not that bad for a soap opera). OK....If you are bored (which you probably are not),how about converting your very excellent GBS2 'Fleet Scenario' script to GBS3? Please ...Pretty Please... Edit: You may need to to reduce the intensity a bit for UC.At any rate,please consider it. [ 05-03-2004, 08:54 PM: Message edited by: Cc ]
Pugwash Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 Was that fleet GBS2 or 1 anyhow someone nicked that idea and used it in UC. I'm in the middle of porting the old ACM with extras to UC and putting back TOD4, trying to make each TOD last over 24 hours (each mission to be about 6 hours) so that by the time you reach the latter missions your crews AI should be high enough to use those Artifacts you have collected.
Cc Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Posted May 4, 2004 quote: Was that fleet GBS2 On your website, the 'Fleet script'. You did it right after the special script for 'Epilison 5'. You remember,he complained that combat was too easy. BTW ,up late tonight? (Edit:tomorrow) Didn't expect a responce until tomorrow,if then. quote: I'm in the middle of porting the old ACM with extras to UC and putting back TOD4, trying to make each TOD last over 24 hours (each mission to be about 6 hours) so that by the time you reach the latter missions your crews AI should be high enough to use those Artifacts you have collected.In that case...thanks for the hard work. quote: someone nicked that idea and used it in UC.Oh yeah?

Pugwash Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 We seem to have taken this thread of topic. I know how to bring it back I'll put a character called Robson Green into the ACM I was at work, 12 hour nightshift, trying to train some ops at another data centre how to process the work so I can be redundant at the end of the month. Your were referring to the BCM single mission script that had Fleet C&C not the 30 hour+ convoy ACM well I was half asleep another 4 hours and I'm back at work.
Cc Posted May 7, 2004 Author Report Posted May 7, 2004 quote: I can be redundant at the end of the month I hope not. Good luck.
Pugwash Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 I'm now on the legally required 30 day consultation period before redundancies are announced, but my employers are stressing no decision has been made to move the work, like hell. They want us (me and 4 other colleges) to ask for redundancy now and go by next week, but to do that we have to sign a legal document protecting them from any possible legal action. I would not even be allowed to slag them off down the pub. We have also heard on the grapevine that all our passwords are going to be disabled at the weekend, but that would cause a problems as we have admin rights on all the servers, also know the default Admin password for all servers, the FTP copy passwords for the jobs we run including the banks changeling them would mean editing every job that has a FTP copy in it as the passwords are contained in the job or file that resides with the individual job. Anyone know a good virus writer. just kidding I don't even know if I'm working Sunday at this moment in time.
Cc Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Posted May 11, 2004 Sorry dudes... I am 'fairly sure' you could care less... but it looks like Robson will be on 'Reckless' ,BBC America May 21. Not super bad, I saw most of it on our local PBS station a year ago. Prety much a soap opera situation.He plays a doctor who falls in love with his bosses' wife. More to it than that,but definitely not as good as some of his earlier series. His best roles are as a detective/investigator ,eg 'Touching Evil' (Now remade on USA network), and as a criminal psychologist, 'Wire in the Blood'. He was on BBC America a few weeks back in a show called 'Trust'. Had to do with a high power legal firm in London. However,the show focused on how the lawyers long hours of work,and ambition, screwed up their personal lives. Kinda interesting,actually.A different perspective from American telly. OK.
