Just watched the first five minutes of 'Death Valley', an alleged comedy-detective series. I won't be watching the rest of it. What a load of infantile rubbish!

I agree, I gave it about 10 minutes and then removed it from our iPlayer.

I know what you mean.  The presenter with his 'funny' faces and the background music doesn't help.  That's entertainment, I guess.

A bit late here, but try the podcast - I find it a lot more interesting - and while yo're at it, the BBC podcast "The witch farm" is absorbing and disturbing.

TBH I had this reaction to begin with but I decided to give it a second chance when I couldn't think what else to watch, and it's grown on me. If you don't like silly murder mysteries (Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders, Brokenwood Mysteries, etc.) then you'll never like, but if you do, it gets better.

Just started watching 'The Thick of It' on Iplayer but I may give up on it. It was a brilliant series in many ways, but I CANNOT STAND fake fly-on-the-wall docs with out-of-focus and wobbly camera shots, and ttoi overdoes  them like hell.
