BBC HD Reviews

It seems the television manufacturers managed to do some very clever and confusing marketing to get the majority of the UK population to go out and buy HD plasma and LCD TVs (even though the majority still don’t receive a HD signal). So we at cheap televisions would like to know what those that can watch the BBC HD channel think of it.

Photography On TV

I obviously like television hence having cheap television blog dedicated to it but my other passion is taking pictures hence also running a photography blog. Last night I got a combination of both of my favourite things on the iPlayer (as I missed it first time around) with the TV programme called “Shooting the Hollywood Stars”. It followed the famous photographer Rankin around as he tried to create some of the iconic photographs from Hollywood and although it wasn’t the best programme / documentary ever it was good to see photography getting a prime time slot on BB2 on a Saturday evening.

Rob Brydon Gets TV Chat Show.

Apparently television comedian Rob Brydon (of Gavin and Stacey fame) will be getting his own TV show on BBC Two. Cheap televisions thinks this could be a move to fill the BBC talk show gap when Jonathan Ross leaves the BBC later this year. Saying that we don’t think Rob Brydon’s TV show will be a direct replacement for the popular Friday night television spot. I wonder what the BBC will put in there as they seem to be lacking ideas on new and exciting television ideas! How about a celebrity dance show or even a reality one where they try to find a new lead for a popular theatre production oe even a dance show so they don’t get accused of ageism? No? Cheap television doesn’t think so either.

James May Builds Meccano Bridge.

Tonight at 8pm on BBC Two (on televisions and on the BBC iPlayer) Top Gear’s James May is going to attempt to build a bridge entirely out of Meccano on his TV show Toy Stories. It’s not the best thing on TV but Cheap televisions has enjoyed the previous two episodes (building a Spitfire and making a garden from Plasticine) but tonight’s episode appears to be more challenging from the preview video clips cheap TVs have seen.

New TV Show From Little Britain creators.

Apparently David Walliams and Matt Lucus are working on a new television show described as somewhere between a sketch show (like little Britain) and a sitcom. Little Britain hasn’t been on our TV screens for a while now and to be honest cheap television was not a big fan, especially of the much criticized American version of the TV programme.

Good TV Shows.

Here at cheap television we’re happy to take the biscuit out of rubbish TV shows all day long. As you probably already know we hate the likes of Eastenders, Big Brother etc, so we thought we’d throw a little praise at the TV shows currently making the most of our big HD plasma and LCD televisions.
