BBC America....you must be joking....that channel is a complete joke....cos there is NOTHING on that channel that is worth watching. It should not be called the BBC America channel....it should really be called the TGGR Channel.....i.e. the "Top Gear Gordon Ramsey" channel....cos that is about 80% of their programming schedule each week....endless re-runs of Top Gear and Gordon Ramsey shows.

This is a worthless channel that is on most basic cable systems all over the USA...on digital cable...but not on Free To Air satellites....cos nobody would want to watch it...cos like I said...all it does is show endless re-runs of Top Gear and Gordon Ramsey shows....and every few month you get some other BBC Dramas (belatedly) like Dr Who, Being Human...and talk show crap like Graham Norton....but there is nothing worth recording on that channel.....even the Dr Who fans in the USA do not bother to watch that channel...cos they show Dr Who episodes very late and not in HD...and all Dr Who fan know they can go to the Rapidshare forums on the internet and download the latest episodes immediately as they air....in HD format Xvid files. This is how Brits overseas watch the British football matches too....i.e. the cable tv channels are useless....cos you can download the match more easily off the internet instead.

The irony is....in the USA all the best British shows do not air on the BBC America channel....they air on all the local PBS Channels ....and there are dozens of PBS channels available on FTA satellite systems....so the PBS channels are the best channels to see British programming in the USA. Mind you....we are still a long way behind on some series....i.e. my local PBS channel in Miami is currently 8 years behind in showing Eastenders episodes.....we only got to see episdes made up to 2002 so far.

Well....Stu....you have a good excuse, cos you are in the UK (I think)....so you do not get the Ellen show immediately and in HD. It is probably not shown in the UK or if it is...only shown later and not in full HD. So, UK folks are not expected to be able to see U.S. shows on the same day they air (just as we in the USA do not get Dr Who immediately either...we only see Dr Who episodes 2 weeks after they already aired in the UK).

So...for those not living in the USA...you have a good excuse to be late to the ball.

For those wetlook fans living in the USA...there is no reason to miss these tips...cos being busy with your day job is no excuse...cos we have 9.6 % unemployment in the USA these days...and thats the baloney government stats...cos the true rate of unemployment here is 17%....and the under-employment rate for people who can only get part time jobs is more like 25%.....so you have 17% of folks who are not wokring....so they can stay at home and watch daytime shows like Ellen....and for the 83% that are lucky enough to have a job....with their income they will also be able to afford cable tv...and a DVR is free from your cable company...so you can record stuff while not at home....ha ha...

Yes....I was being facetious about Hawaii 5-0, cos I loved the original series but hate the new one, cos the casting is all wrong. The original series had a mixed cast of Americans and Native Hawaiians, whereas this new series does not have any Hawaiians in the cast...only ethnic Koreans playing as Hawaiians....so they should call this show Korea 5-0....and the 2 lead actors look like Batman and Robin when walking together....very silly....one tall guy and his very short sidekick Dan-ho....and the chemistry is all wrong between the characters...cos in the original series McGarrett was the boss and everybody in the team respected him...but in this new series there is no respect at all given to the boss....and it typifies what is wrong with society today....i.e. everybody is treated like an equal and there are no bosses and no respect...so the new series sucks imho.....but the cinematography is totally amazing....the imagery looks awesome in HD....it is just the characters and casting sucks.

Ah fudge

Just went back in the history of the forum and searched your name and lo and behold yes, you posted about Ellen. And i had read the post. And all the replies. I blame too much alcohol for removing the memories from my head! But still...had seen no postings on it since and I don't think we get it in the UK? at least on Freeview? I have developed a habit of going "DURRRRRR!!!!!!!!! You guys are stuuuupid, you missed this scene........." only for someone to point out that, in fact, it had already been posted. (Suzi perry on gadget show exhibit A)

As for the re-make i have no idea, UK or US...ill guess Hawaii 5-0?

dohh !!!...and 2 other wetlook scenes you missed

...too late.....already alerted to this several times already .....the most recently was yesterday

http://forum.minxmovies.com/showc.cgi?46456

Youtube links are for chumps....too late- and after the fact- and low quality.....cos people who pay attention to my alerts can get these scenes in FullHD on their DVRs as I did....and then get wambank credits for uploading this in full HD quality to the wambank (don't try to upload the youtube version to the Wambank...cos we reject any videos we see that came from Youtube...you must record this in high quality and upload an HQ version like I do).

I can list loads of other examples where people on this forum were asleep and completely missed great wetlook scenes on common tv shows....

Here is another clue for another great wetlook scene you all missed last month on a VERY common new tv series.....the clue is -

- a great 2 girl clothed fight in the pool in episode 2 of a new re-make series starring one tall guy and his little sidekick with 2 Korean assistants

And here is an unbelievably easy/common and famous person getting wet that you all missed....Lady Gaga and her dancers getting soaked in the rain in an outdoor concert on a live tv show earlier this summer. Junior level wetlook detectives should be able to find it on youtube with no problem....but the smarter and more advanced wetlook detectives can find the full HD 1080 version if they know how to surf on the celebrity forums.

Happy Hunting

Why has no-one picked up on this? Ellen dunk tank back - Minnie Driver dunk

By wetlookstu - Thu 14/10/10 06:45:22 GMT

Ellen's dunk tank has been back for a week or so with sporadic dunkings so far. 3 women and a guy so far according to another forum, only found two clips.

Minnie Driver dunked http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIuEayoL1pw

Female Australian radio host http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxtm7tMHfjE

If people in America could keep an eye out for more that'd be great... Eva Longoria is a guest tomorrow apparently...but dream on!
