I've taken a few notes about the order of the episodes as they were presented but also taking information that was given by various characters. Apparently a 7 day long week lasted over 13 weeks in this show. And time also went backwards as I'll also show. All of the 5 series took place in 1955 which is a REALLY good trick. And the events at the start of series 5 actually happened before series 1 even took place which is an even BETTER trick.
The days of the week for days 1, 2, 3 & 14 were worked out backwards from Leckies statement made on week 3 day 22.
1946 - Percy Marsh joins the RAF as a regular
Friday (possibly November) 1955 - Civilians start 8 weeks (56 days) basic training as C Flight (S1e1)
Saturday Day 2, Kit Issued (S1e2)
Sunday Day 3, Medical Assessment (S1e3)
Thursday Day 14, C Flight allowed to leave RAF Skelton for the 1st time, confirmed by AC2 Richardson "You've only done 2 weeks like the rest of us" (S1e4)
AC2 Lilleys feet nailed to floor of hut (S1e5)
Friday Week 3/Day 22, C Flight do Picket Duty, confirmed by Leckie "Saturday tomorrow, 101 weeks to go". Also confirmed by the AOC & Richardson "How long have you been in the Air Force - 3 weeks sir" (S1e6)
Saturday 12 Noon, C Flight issued 1st 36 hour pass (S1e7)
AC2's Richardson, Lilley & Smith are charged for being AWOL @ 00:18 24rd March 1955 ( A Thursday)
AC2's Lilley & Smith given 7 days jankers, AC2 Richardson given 10 days jankers.
C Flight are still in the 1st part of their Basic Training (confirmed by Cpl Marsh "You havent started the 2nd part of your basic training yet"
Sunday Dec 25th 1955, Leckie, Lilley, Richardson & Smith on duty maintenance RAF Skelton Training Camp (s1e8)
C Flight go on an air experience trip (S2e1)
Cpl Marsh steals C Flights coal ration (S2e2)
AC2 Smith goes AWOL to help his grandfather (S2e3)
C Flight wins a field exercise (S2e4)
Final Week Basic Training, Cpl Marsh promoted to Acting Sgt (Marsh states he has been a Cpl for 9 years, in other words he became a Cpl the year he joined the RAF. Possible as a DI or not? Acting unpaid, perhaps)
Acting Sgt Marsh demoted to Cpl for burning down barrack hut (S3e1)
Leckie, Smith, Richardson & Lilley posted to RAF Midham for 13 weeks medical training (S3e2)
Marsh, Leckie, Smith & Ricardson arrive at RAF Midham, Lancashire (S3e3)
Week 10 Cpl Marshs wife leaves him (S4e2)
Medical Trainees on Crash Exercise (S4e4)
Leckie marries Cpl Wendy (wouldnt be allowed, an AC2 trainee would NOT be permitted to marry a Cpl permanant staff)
Week 13 trade training Cpl Marsh demoted to AC1 for cheating on final exam (S4e6)
AC1 Marsh posted to RAF Goose Bay, Labrador (Canada)
AC1's Leckie & Smith & LACs Richardson & Lilley posted to Malta
After 1 week in Malta AC1's Leckie & Smith & LAC's Richardson & Lilley posted to RAF Hospital Druidswater (in the West Country)
On the same day newly promoted Cpl Marsh becomes a patient @ RAF Hospital Druidswater (having been promoted for bravery & awarded the George Medal on 14th November 1955 which is impossible as he'd STILL have been at RAF Skelton as a DI) (S5e1)
Cpl Marsh becomes permant staff at RAF Hospital Druidswater (S5e3)

WWE Monday Night Raw 8th Mar 10 reviewed
So whilst Hulk Hogan & Ric Flair were battling live on TNA what was billionaire Vince McMahon offering his hordes of fans?
Well the show was more than 16 minutes old before we were offered the 1st match, a 6 Diva tag match which lasted 3 minutes.
Over on TNA they already had a 2 minute long match with no finish (or no start or finish bell either). The divas match was no better (or worse but was slightly longer) than the Triple Threat Knockout Tag match TNA had but at least TNA had gold on the line.

We had a ton of blah including guest host Criss Angel then by 26 mins into the show WWE offered their 2nd match, a tag match between R-Truth & John Morrison vs Big Show & The Miz. TNA were already 4 minutes into their 2nd match by then (a 3 way X Division match which last 7 minutes & was easily a 4 star match with gold on the line yet again) however this match lasted then a minute.
After a shitload more BLAH, some shameless self advertising & plugs for this years Wrestlemania at almost 37 minutes in we got the 3rd match, Randy Orton in a handicap match against Legacy. TNA's 3rd match had already started and finished (lasting just over 3 mins crowning new Knockout Tag Champions) before this even got going. At almost 9 mins long WWEs match was nothing to write home about. After another crapload of nothing WWE eventually decided to have another match. TNAs 4th match only lasted 10 seconds but they also started their 5th match which was only just over a minute long.
65 mins in the show WWEs 4th match was a Money In The Bank Qualifier, Evan Bourne vs William Regal which was only over a minute long. Bourne had an ok match though. TNA started their 6th match at 73 mins into their show, it was a 2 on 1 handicap match that lasted just short of 4 minutes and it was god awful.
Kicking off at the 80 minute mark WWE's 5th & final match of this weeks RAW was John Cena vs Mr McMahon who decided to change the rules at the last minute making it into a handicap gauntlet match so Cena had to face Vladimir Koslov, Drew Mcintyre, Jack Swagger & Mark Henry before changing the rules again adding a no DQ stipulation. After Batista also came down & did a number on Cena McMahon took the win in 8 minutes. WWE's last match was 2 minutes old when TNA's 7th & final match of their show started, although it had technically never started at the top of Impact but it only lasted 8 minutes as well.
RAW - 5 matches, 22 minutes of actual in ring wrestling. No new talent worked.
TNA - 7 matches, 21 minutes of actual in ring wrestling. 2 titles were contested, RVD debuted.

Having watched both shows neither impressed me, if these are supposed to be the 2 biggest wrestling companies on tv today they are both piss poor excuses for shows. Both shows were on for at least 2 hours and both only just had over 20 minutes worth of actual wrestling.
Its a very sad state of affairs indeed.

Ghosthunters - Alcatraz Live Event
Shouting loud fat idiot Josh Gates is our Host! As its the start of the new season as well as the 100th show I thought I'd review this. I assume the audience were well screened in advanced as they were VERY friendly (too friendly in fact) and I also assume the questions sent in were very heavily screened too. The show was less than 5 minutes old before they took their 1st pot shot at Brian Harnois. Extremely unprofessional and also getting very old. Get over it GH crew, he moved on - why can't you?
Tonight our team members are (in the order they came out in) Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson, Dustin Pari, Barry Fitzgerald, Kris Williams, Amy Bruni, Britt Griffith, Dave Tango & Steve Gonsalves. Later in the evening Rob Demarest joined them to plug the new season on GHI. Even later into the show they are joined by GHA graduates Susan Slaughter & Karl Pfeiffer, Josh confirms there will be a new season of GHA airing from June 2nd. Steve says someone will get eliminated every week with Jason joining them for that & the winner will get to join a TAPS show for 6 whole episodes so no guarenteed job this time just 1 season.
Alcatraz, San Francisco, CA - Tuesday (pre-recorded)
TAPS experienced the exact same issues as the Ghost Lab crew in that they had to transport all equipment over to the island by boat as cars couldnt be ferried over. So SyFy are too cheap to pop for a helicopter then? What the guide told them pretty much tallies with what the Ghost Lab guys were told.
Jay & Grant in the Citadel/Dungeon - Jay claims he hears footsteps (impossible to tell due to the incidental soundtrack they insist on having) though you hear movement the 2nd time they mention it, the "No" they claimed to hear cant be backed up for the same reason, stupid backing sounds.
Steve & Tango in the hospital ward - They offer a feather as a trigger object to interact with Robert Stroud, during an EVP the EMF gets some weird readings. They hear a bang off in the distance which they were able to replicate as a door not far away. They also pick on a smell of soap which they didnt get before.
Kris, Amy & Dustin in the Citadel/Dungeon - They hear something which they also hear on playback.
Barry & Britt in Cell Block D - Britt thinks he sees something moving, Barry also spots movement in a similar area.
Amy & Kris in the hospital ward - They test some new equipment in Strouds hospital cell.
Steve & Tango in Robert Strouds Cell #42 (Block D) - They test some new equipment, Tango tries a reenactment which triggers a spike on their equipment.
Kris, Amy & Barry in Broadway 2nd floor Cell Block B - Kris stops because she thought she saw a dark mass in front of her.
Jay & Grant in the Citadel again - They ask for a knock (which Grant acknowledges) but you totally dont hear due to the incidental music, Jason says he can hear footsteps but again its the same issue with the backing noises. Finally they kill the backing track & ramp the mic audio RIGHT up (hence the loud hiss) and you can JUST about make out footsteps.
Barry & Dustin in the hospital ward - Barry sets a trigger object to be knocked over, they also both try provoking but nothing happens.
Steve & Tango goofing around somewhere in the prison - Why are they encouraging them to do this stuff? Brian Harnois was fired for stuff like this yet here on a live show Syfy are happily showing Laurel & Hardy goofing off yet again with no consequences.
Jay & Grant in Cell Block D Solitary Cells #12 & #14 - They debunk smells causing nausea as coming from the sewer lines, Jason thinks he sees someone walking & Grant hears something that Jason says sounded like walking. He also films something wierd in the sewer area.
Steve & Tango in the Citadel - Quite a lot of swearing had to be bleeped out as Tango tripped over something on the floor & both of them remarked about holes in the floor. They also goof off again and Tango loses money betting on fictional items, Idiot.
Analysis, Thursday morning - Bizarrely its just Steve & Tango working when Barry & Dustin are available as well? Tango debunks Grants film in the sewer area as lens flare, the light Barry saw in Cell Block D gets thrown out due to doubt.
The Reveal, Friday afternoon - They explain the smells causing nausea as coming from the sewer lines debunk, they playback an awful over amplified "footsteps" noise from the Citadel which quite frankly could be anything at that volume. They also do playback of the voice Dustin caught in the CItadel as well as the "No" Jay & Grant heard at the start of the night also in the Citadel. They playback a pretty clear EVP where you can hear "Its Harry Brunette, 374" who they managed to link to a real prisoner.
I am wondering if they knew about the failure of Ghost Labs "Tony Anniche" and deliberately set this one up in advice so as to look better than the Ghost Lab crew?
The whole intercut Q&A session with the audience was a bit haphazard as we were getting sound from other mics somewhere else which was very annoying and downright amateur to be honest. We also got to see what Craig Pilligian looks like too.
