I just finished watching The Floor on ITV player. It's a gameshow and I'm obsessed! I'm tempted to apply for the next series.

I'm looking for a new series to binge so let me know what you're enjoying!

    Same! I much prefer a binge watch (I'm too impatient to wait a week or so for the next episode). I've just watched Last One Laughing which is a show where lots of comedians are locked in a room for 6 hours and have to try to make one another laugh, without laughing themselves. It's very silly ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Also recently finished At Home With The Furies which I loved. I like how Tyson Fury shares openly about the real day to day of his Bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. Love Paris too - she's fantastic!

    I love Last One Laughing too @Holly_Scope, especially Bob Mortimer!

    I've never watched MAFS but heard great things about it @WhatThe, especially the Australian version. Which one would you recommend?

    I'm watching the soaps and a drama series I recorded called 'Capture'.

    I'm rewatching old seasons of Law & Order SVU while waiting for the new season to hopefully be out on Prime in May๐Ÿ˜…

    I recently finished The Capture @luvpink, very intense and quite scary stuff! Have you seen any of the episodes yet?

    Coronation Street โ€ฆ when I'm allowed

    Clarkson's Farm, Gold Rush, anything with Henry Cole in (Junk & disorderly - Shed & buried)

    A few Welsh dramas โ€ฆ and really have to make time for the second season of Wednesday.

    Definitely not allowed to watch MAFS โ€ฆ too much talking from me and disliking people

    What's Capture @luvpink and @Mary_Scope? I like to be scared!

    I love Clarksons Farm @WelshBlue. I recently rewatched all the Top Gear and Grand Tour episodes. Are you fan of those?

    @Mary_Scope

    I have seen two episodes.

    I may watch another two tonight.

    @Rachel_Scope

    Its a crime espionage drama.

    I started recording another crime drama series last night called "Mint" on bbc1

    @Rachel_Scope โ€ฆ yep, being a petrol head I've watched all The Top Gears except the ones with Matt le Blanc โ€ฆ couldn't take to him as a presenter

    I've watched a couple of Grand Tours but time always gets in the way. Or my wife is watching her 'true crime' programmes โ€ฆ or research as I call it

    I struggle to get into crime dramas but I think I'd really enjoy them. I'll give Capture a go @luvpink and try and give it a chance beyond 15 minutes like I usually do!

    I'm the same @WelshBlue, it has to be the original 3 presenters for me. I particularly love the specials that they do. Haha I love true crime too. Hopefully she doesn't pick up any tips ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Yes give Capture a go and see what you think.

    I watched episode 3 tonight.

    I find it easy to follow and gripping.

    On TV I like to watch The Persuaders, Home to Roost, The Avengers, and a bit of Law & Order.

    On DVD and Blu Ray these days I'm watching Mythbusters and Street Hawk, and I just recently watched the movie Freddy vs Jason, it gets a lot of negative reviews but I quite enjoyed it.

    It's on my watch list @luvpink!

    I absolutely love Ghosts @PracticeWotUPreach. Did you watch them in Horrible Histories? I have very fond memories of the programme and the books.

    Every few years I'll do a binge of Mythbusters @Ross1975. Do you have a favourite myth? I remember them re-enacting a plane crash with a few rows of seats and a crane, and it looked brutal. I don't think they'd be allowed to do that nowadays!

    I've been really boring and just watched Celebrity Catchphrase the last few days. I'm not interested in the celebrities, I just love shouting out the answers before my husband ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Hi Rachel_Scope, I remember the plane crash one, it did look pretty painful.

    I would say my favourite myth is either Biscuit Bazooka where they put cans of biscuit dough into a car that's left outside in the hot sun to see if they explode, or the one where Adam or Jamie get's covered from head to toe in gold latex paint to see if it's dangerous. These are my favourite myths mainly because of the nostalgia, I remember when I discovered Mythbusters for the first time in 2003 and seeing these episodes.

    If we're not talking about nostalgia then it's very hard to choose one as there's so many, maybe Stinky Car where they get a Corvette and let two pigs decay in it and then they see if they can get the smell out of the car so it's sellable, or Underwater Car where Adam sees if he can escape being in a car underwater.

    I remember all of those so vividly! It's so funny how brains work because I can't remember important things from a week ago but remember a programme from 20 years ago ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Has anyone been watching any good gameshows? Celebrity Catchphrase will eventually run out of episodes and I need another one to obsess over!

    I'm trying to get every single episode of Mythbusters on DVD/Blu Ray, but it's very difficult finding some of them. There are Blu Ray box sets out there of all seasons, but I don't think they include all of the specials, plus they're not official, they're bootlegs, so the video quality may not always be that great.

    I've not watched any gameshows for years, but used to like watching The Generation Game, 3-2-1, Treasure Hunt, The Crystal Maze, and Knightmare.

    I remember when Catchphrase with Roy Walker first started, I'm sure it would come on either before or after Crazy Like a Fox.

  • Rachel_Scope

    You can watch the classic Catchphrase with Roy on YouTube @SheffieldMan1976. I really dislike the celebrity element of the current Catchphrase but I think I've watched all of the available episodes of the classic version that it feels like cheating!

    I love Crystal Maze @Ross1975. They rebooted it with Richard Ayoade but I couldn't get into it, despite liking him as a comedian.
