Currently on Series Link we have - Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers, Ax Men (New Series 23rd Sep) and Waking the Dead.
Agree Tony, something as 'simple' as crab fishing can be totally absorbing. Wife is so into it I had to get her a Cornelia Marie mug for Christmas last year. Cost me more for the post than the mug cost!

I prefer the X Factor myself.
On a more serious note, I've been totally hooked on anything World War II for the last week, started off with Valkyrie, followed by The Pianist (I know they're both films, just bear with me) and this week we got stuck into Band of Brothers which was AMAZING and have been recording the WWII in colour which I think is BBC2.
I also love Eastenders.
Sorry.
If you like light reading, then a great way to get the big picture of WW2, is to read Herman Wouk's "Winds of war" and "War and rememberance). A romantic story is weaved through nearly all the major events and people of the war, giving a great appreciation of the war's scope and complexity. There are some historical notes in the books, but you you don't need to read them for the story. Don't watch a video of the mini-series, it was @$#@.

Spiral 2 on BBC4 has took the sting out of The Wire ending.
I've taped the Munro programme, do you recommend it Mr Wickers?
I also have Red Riding on the box. I was gutted to have missed it first time. Thanks Ch4 for the repeat!

For me its Deadliest Catch. I am amazed how tough these guys are, and how something as "simple" as fishing, or so I thought, is such a whole concuction of possibilities and variables.
I have also been watching the Ian Wright programme on sky where he has been coaching some prison inmates down in Weymouth. (I havent seen Ellistine on it yet though....), and also:
World War 2 The Apocalypse on Nat Geo channel on Tuesday nights, with some fascinating filming in colour from 60 odd years ago. I never studied history after 3rd year seniors, and somethings I just wasnt aware of, like the British attack on the French navy in Algeria in 1940 to prevent them joining the Germans to access Britain by sea.
I expect to learn a hell of a lot more by the end of the series, very interesting stuff.
Please dont anyone say Strictly Come Dancing.....

I never seem to find the time to watch anything live so am several months behind on programmes I've taped. Just finished watching 'On Thin Ice' with James Cracknell and Ben Fogle which I really enjoyed. Next on the list are Waking the Dead, New Tricks and several other thing's I've probably forgotten about. :roll:
Looking forward to getting a V+ box so I can tape more than one thing at once as you can guarantee that if there are several things I want to watch on a particular day, they will all be on at the same time. :thumbdown:
