Waffle On Podcast from Meds

New episode is up and it's all about the state of British Tv. Thanks go to Mike and Tim for their audio comments. And Mike is wasn't your accent, kell just cried with laughter purely because you sent in a comment saying you couldn't add a comment because you don't watch anything. Brilliant. Thanks again to both of you. Hope you enjoy the show it's a rambling episode as we's still tired from last nights Specials concert.

Meds I loved the show, but I would like to point out one thing that you might have missed. You might think that your tv is rubbish and TV from the states is great, but we have the same problem that you do with a lot of crap on TV. You get to benefit from our hundreds of channels and the cream of those channels.

Did you forget about Rome? That was solid TV from a joint venture. I think that most of the Joint ventures that we have with the BBC produces outstanding television, but you don't have to see our low programing like Who wants to marry a millionair or Farmer finds a wife, or ... well you get the point. I'm enjoying a lot of British TV, but then again, I think it's because we're getting the cream on this end.

I'm really liking Primeval series 3. The first series has just recently hit the sci-fi channel. I loved Being Human! Jeckyll is supposed to be good right?

I think that your side of the pond has some fantastic hits, but you have to also look at the not so good stuff before you get to it.

Looking forward to listening Meds!

I was meaning to send in a comment but I wasn't very well last week so I tried to keep my recordings to minimum (ie the Ready Room).

I WILL get you a comment in soon Sir, as I love the show! ;D

We're having a photo taken next week i think which should be fun, and please Dan any comments are always welcome anytime, thanks again to Mike and Tim. Chris you know we did forget about Rome, i also accidentally cut out a email from one of my best mate's Pete (we had a rant about Robin Hood but it went way off tangent) which i'm a bit annoyed at so will be putting that in the next show. Thanks for listening everyone.

So I'm depressed now???

OK, I understand the laughter but you did get my point :)

To be fair, I'd forgotten Survivors and I did watch it but I don't know that I'd put it up on a par with some of the imports.

The watering down/PC elements of TV these days does play a part in what's gone on recently in this country. The number of things that we've recently discussed at work where the conversation ended with "...but you wouldn't be able to make that these days." is very high.

Meds · April 28, 2009, 10:09:30 AM

Yup, totally got your point. In fact if anything your point sums up how bad Brit TV exactly. My friend Kerry doesnt even own a TV because she knows there is simply nothing worth watching. I think Kell automatically assumed you sounded depressed (in a jokey way) because 'of your wife's period drama's' (the same here Natalie loves the damn programmes)

I hope you'll send in a comment regarding Auf Weidersein Pet because i'm guessing you would have loved that.

I'm enjoying this podcast as I am only 20 minutes in. Awesome, and very fun.

I listened to about fifteen minutes of the new podcast on my way into class this morning. Really like what you guys talk about, not just this episode, but I love listening. Thanks Meds for the great show.

billybob476 · April 29, 2009, 11:20:42 AM

Indeed, you guys crack me up.

Bryancd · April 29, 2009, 11:30:20 AM

Loved the new show on the state, or lack there of, of British TV! I'm not sure how, but you guy's made me interested in a subject I know nothing about! :)

Meds · April 29, 2009, 12:46:47 PM

Wow, well thanks everyone for your very supportive comments and Bryan thats great. We were a bit worried that we waffled on a bit too much really as we couldnt remember what we had said ha ha. Thanks again.

Dangelus · April 30, 2009, 01:31:00 AM

Great episode Meds! You guys were spot on about the state of TV in the UK at the moment. Really enjoyed the debate and I think the shows are getting better every time.

Well done.

This photo was posted on the Trek spoilers page but i thought it would be good to put here as well.

Here are the Waffle On boys heading to see Trek. We're having an official photo done in the next two weeks, we're at work here the official photo will have us looking a bit daper.
