NOTE: To submit a program, please ensure you include the following: (EXAMPLE)

My pick for today:
(Program name)That'll Teach en'

You may still submit ANY OTHER program on ANY channel that you will be watching!

NOTE: All pornography-related programming is not to be submitted to this thread as there may be young children lurking around in this thread!

It's a good idea for a thread alright! Perhaps it could be extended to include good upcoming films on tv too?

That said tho it's already got off to a bad start cos 'Thatll teach em' started an hour ago!

Flukey

Naturally the Olympics can make for a lot of good viewing at present!

Today's pick:
The Bill

I take it this has lost it's sticky staus due to lack of interest!

da_deadman

For Sundays and Mondays, I would reccomend 'Waking the Dead', it's on at 9pm every Sunday and Monday on BBC 1. Part 1 is on Sundays and part 2 on the monday. I've only been watching the last 5 or 6 weeks but it has been very good each week.
It's another very good show from the BBC, it's about a Cold Case squad in the police dept. The character interaction is very good and the storylines are often fresh and always good.
