Meme of the week: favourite repeat

24 February 2009 Rob Buckley Canadian TV, UK TV, US TV 13 Comments

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?

Answers below or on your own blog, please.
