A little help, O Wise and Knowledgeable Flist...

[gnine]

So here I am in jolly old England, settling in, classes just starting up (something I do plan to write about soon, I swear...) and in between the socializing, studying and exploring, I find myself watching quite a bit of TV. This is happening in part because I always watch more when I live alone (something to do when relaxing before bed or while

Hey, thanks, I'm very happy to be here! ^__^

Wai, Leverage! I've been very much enjoying that one, especially those three featured in your icon. So very OT3 for me, can't help it, they're adorable!

[gnine]

Hee, we clearly have very similar tastes. I ADORE NCIS, and am enjoying NCIS: LA so far as well (now THAT is a slashy show)

Hmmm, I clearly should include a list of shows I've already seen...though I'm almost scared to write up that list, due to the length of it...^_-

The Professionals - original flavor, meaning Martin Shaw as Doyle and Lewis Collins as Bodie. It is, as far as I know, available on DVD, so you should be able to find it pretty easily. Hell, they play original Trek reruns over here, so it might even be on cable.

British flavored Starsky and Hutch fighting terrorists, smugglers and gun runners each week while calling each other pet names such as Sunshine and Angelfish. "Discovered in a Graveyard" is the ouchiest episode made and if you're lucky enough to find it, you'll never climb out of Pros fandom again.

Since you like Man From U.N.C.L.E. You might want to give Sapphire and Steel a shot if you can find it. Illya - David McCan-never-spell-his-name- plays Steel. Sci Fi drama.

Ahh, Professionals, that was August's project. Had another friend very into it, she showed it to us. Is very much S & H, British flavor, though I think S&H is even MORE over the top when it comes to h/c...which is saying something, considering Professionals. And yeah, Discovered in a Graveyard is verrry fun!

Hee, also seen Sapphire and Steel (my sister and I got so terribly hardcore into David McCallum, that we went and watched most of what he's been in that we could get our hands on.) I really liked S&S, interesting ideas.

Hmmm, I probably should have put a list of what shows I have seen...thanks for the suggestions though...

Speaking of which, I will send you that disc. I will! Er, as soon as I burn it . . .

And I miss you :(

[gnine]

Any time is fine...^_^

Miss you, too! Was so good to get to spend time with you, though! And more than one day, *shocker* ^_- So glad I came home for the whole month! *big big huggles*

I'm going to have to watch this post for ideas, cause I'm in about the same situation-- living alone, doing school-things, and needing more TV for entertainment. :)

Series wot I have enjoyed recently:

Invisible Man: AWESOME. It's about a thief named Darien who gets a gland implanted in his head that enables him to become invisible, and is forced to work for a secret Agency to solve crimes and stop terrorism and that kind of thing. It's got lovely teamy moments between Darien, his partner and his Keeper, and h/c in literally *every single episode*-- it's beautiful. And the entire thing is up on hulu/youtube.

The Chronicle: Cute little series about a reporter who can't get a job anywhere else, so he has to join a tabloid of the Bigfoot-Ate-My-Baby type-- only to find out that everything they write about is 100% real. I'm only on episode 4, so I'll let this ship manifesto speak to why it's so awesome. (Downloads here, tho you have to join the comm to see them.)

Warehouse 13: Brand new SciFi Channel SyFy series, kind of dorky and

[xparrot]

Oh, yeah, I-man was a favorite of ours when it was on, I ficced for it and everything. Darien/Hobbes/Keeper OT3 FTW!

[alessandriana]

Oh, awesome, I hadn't realized you'd ficced for it-- is it on your website?

And yes, yay OT3!! They're all so freaking adorable together, I just wanna hug 'em and squish 'em and--

*ahem*. Sorry, got a little carried away there. But yeah, I really wish I'd known about it when it was first out; there's barely any fandom left. Kinda sad.

[xparrot]

It is on my site, though like I said, we were into the show when it was airing, so the fic is oooo~ld. It was a fun fandom, though, small but lively. I spent a lot of time on the SF Channel BBSs, where the Eberts actor was a regular ^^

[bluemeanybeany]

Hello dearie. We will bring some dvd goodies next time we meet up

[gnine]

Whee, that sounds fun!

Hmm, will have to check out the iplayer, thanks for the link.

Hmmm, show about brothers, that's always a plus, how long is that one?

Thanks for the link! I was thinking next weekend for possible get together, btw? How does that work for you?

Yeah next weekend sounds great. We'll have a look for things to do but if youve got any suggestions we can do that.

Only Fools and Horses are 25 minutes long (theyre good to watch whilst eating tea, the episode I gave you has Jim Broadbent in) It ran for 22 years, so if you like it there's certainly enough to keep you occupied :)

GeorgieSmith sent us a really fun tv series last week which we'll give you called Adam Adamant. It's about a Victorian gentlemen hero who gets crygenically frozen by his arch nemisis 'the face' and wakes up in swinging London in 1966. [its what Austin Powers was based on] The actor in it is sooooo like David Tennant its just very funny. He has a blonde companion like Rose too. Its from the same producers as Doctor Who.

Oh and there's always Raffles- the most slashy slash programme Ive ever seen. The couple in that make Solo and Illya seem positively hetrosexual.

[gnine]

Hee, Raffles sounds cute (just looked it up on IMDB) How do I get a hold of it?

As for things to do, no clear ideas. Any suggestions you have would be welcome. And you can also come back to my place for a bit if you like, hang out, etc...

[bluemeanybeany]

1 episode of Raffles coming up. It has Anthony Valentine of Colditz Major Mohn fame so I can legitmately put it up on Shovewood. . Ill let you know when its uploaded
Heres the boys meanwhile to pique your interest
