Meme of the week: favourite repeat

Didn’t we have fun with the last meme? This one probably won’t inspire as much, but it popped into my head this morning so I thought I’d pose it anyway.

What’s your favourite repeat?

I’m not a big fan of the repeat – I like new things. I don’t have many DVDs and those I have I watch infrequently.

But when I’ve run out of new things to watch, if I need something televisual to stimulate my brain, I’ll stick on the pilot episode of the US version of Touching Evil. I loves it. Dark, moody, brilliant direction, a cracking ending and the possibility everything’s in his mind – I can watch it over and over, unlike even some of my other favourite shows.

So do you have a programme or episode of a programme that you can and do watch time and again?

Review: Sky+HD


Well, finally, after all that fun with the Sky+ competition last year, I have Sky+HD. As you may recall, I was this close to getting it when at the last moment, I found out you need two feeds from the satellite dish to be able to record a programme while watching another, so we never got it. Fortunately, at our new flat, there are two wall feeds from the communal satellite dish (even if one, for some strange reason that even the Sky engineers couldn’t fathom, is on the other side of the room from the other feed).

As it happens, I made a slight cost saving from delaying, since the cost installation and the box has gone down from £75 (reduced from £150) to £49. Bargain.

So, after a few days, what am I reckoning, apart from it’s all worth it just to see Ali Larter in high def on Heroes?
