I said it before and I'll say it again. ITV are f**ktards.

David sounded like he thought I'd made it up!

I just wondered what football you meant - but I hadn't worked out this goes into June.

Football means football means gay. *shakes fist*

I still think everybody's getting their panties in a twist over nothing.

Football needs to DIE. As do football fans. Proper TV should take precendence over such stupidity. That's what Sky Sports are f**king there for!

SPORTS OFF TERESTRIAL! SPORTS OFF TERRESTRIAL!

In summary: I agree with zooo in the strongest possible terms.

And in regards to the show, after reading a bit more I reckon it's an almighty scheduling cockup which for some mentalist reason, they've decided will look better if they just claim to be intentional. There can't be football on 24 hours a f**king day, so this stupid state of affairs is just barmy. They claim that they'll show ep 2 later in the year. But surely it'd make more sense to show ep 9 later on? I mean, these things have a story arc, do they not? ITV are doing nothing but pushing their viewers to download shows illegally.

But hey, ITV are f**ktards. There's a surprise! :)

I rarely watch ITV, they never have anything good on. At the moment, Pushing Daisies and Dexter which are not even home grown shows.

Oh, and I hate football.

Just watched the second - or is third? - episode of this and am now convinced ITV has made a huge mistake. They should have missed out the middle eight episodes and skipped right to the end because it really is the most cloyingly irritating twaddle I've ever seen. Sickly sweet pap.

Just got round to watching the final episode. With the exception of the jockey episode, which was bit heavy handed, I thought the whole series was great fun, even if it was a blatant Amelie rip off.

But I didn't know about Episode 2 until I read this thread, so now I am pissed off. I had begun to wonder if ITV might be turning a corner, what with this and Dexter, and a few decent home grown shows like The Fixer, but no, still TV for fatheads broadcast by fatheads.

Mind you, it is still not as shocking as when the BBC edited down the first three episodes of Rome into two, because they thought viewers would be bored by all the politics and just wanted tits and ass. I refused to watch after that - and I like tits and ass!

Anyway I think the repeats start on E4 next week, so with a bit of luck Episode 2 will be broadcast then.

I've just seen Aaron's rant about football for the first time Laughing out loud Give me football anytime over imported American programmes playing on terrestrial TV in England - save our culture. It's such a damn shame that cricket is only Sky as well, a good 9 hours of cricket for 5 days would be nice :D

Your argument might hold more force if England had qualified for the football.

It might hold more force if I was being serious as well. I just wanted to see the veins popping on Aaron's forehead again :D

Sport is shit. End.

I really liked seeing the second episode as a bonus on the ITV website. It really made things come together for me seeing as I only started watching about 4 episodes from the last.

Being shown again from episode one on itv2. I'm watching episode one on itv2+1, and it's very funny, but so sad! :(
