ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:Adele at Glastonbury was bloody amazing I keep waiting for everyone to wake up from the collective delusion that Adele is anything other than complete poo poo, but it's never gonna happen. She seems like quite a nice lady, but her music is just soporific, trite garbage. She has a good range but her delivery is just this forced foghorn blare, where she chews on every vowel til the actual words are mangled beyond understanding. Bleh. Hope people had a good time though

Very reminiscent of Julia Davis' shows in all their dark heart-wrenching misery and family disasters, but with a nice silvery lining to it, I suppose. A must watch.

She's music for grandmas, which is fine. Old dears should have some entertainment that keeps their blood pressure low and is non-threatening. The fact that she's popular in the general populace is baffling to me, but then again I'm wearing an Iron Maiden tshirt right now so I probably don't have a leg to stand on here.

Gorn Myson posted:I think its because people just empathise with her quite easily. She might be a millionaire, but she'll still chat away on stage in a colloquial manner and stop once in a while to sip her tea and then just burst into the next song. She moans obnoxiously about how much tax she pays and is a massive tory though. Her and Gary Barlow should get together.

New documentary on BBC4 (on iplayer now), Inside Porton Downs. Michael Mosley (always a dead giveaway that it's good) talking about a weapons research facility. Within 30 seconds of the start of the show, he's in a room filled with CS gas.

It might be for the best. I actually don't mind Evans all that much, but from what I saw in TOP GEAR he was incredibly dedicated to trying too hard. LeBlanc seems like he doesn't care, which isn't the insult it sounds like, I just mean he doesn't seem to worry that he's following up a very successful trio whereas Evans is all too aware.

The chief injustice of Glastonbury was that they broadcast coverage of Saturday on 6 Music in Craig Charles's usual slot but I don't think they played much of his own set. It'll be weird when Robot Wars comes back without him. I like Dara Ó Briain a lot but Charles's presenting style was a big part of what I liked about the original show (him and Jonathan Pearce cackling like a madman).

Weird that for some reason on iplayer the coverage of Beck only runs half hour. Would've been good to see the whole thing. In other news, I don't think anyone has thrown themselves into anything quite as much as Chris Kamara has in Murder In Successville.

God, that's terrible  To keep the TV chat going, I'm going to give "A Touch of Cloth" a go, seeing as I've already paid for six months of Now TV (for very little) and GoT is over. So far: it's very bad, but I think that's the point.

Sudden Javelin posted:Just binged through Murder in Successville based on the recommendations of this thread. Holy poo poo, Chris Kamara/Kim Useless. Murder in Successville is such a great idea for telly, the only downside is that sometimes the guests can be a bit poo poo. The bloke last week for example, was so up himself I couldn't finish the episode. Chris Kamara was so into it however I also almost couldn't finish watching - but for very different reasons. My favourite bits are when they all start corpsing in the middle of a scene, it's just so ridiculous I love it. I do get the impression that they must do several takes of the same scene though, that or Chris Kamara is an improv genius. Some of the one liners he was coming up with destroyed me.

The bloke last week for example, was so up himself I couldn't finish the episode. They did a making of piece in the Guardian that was pretty interesting. To be fair if they were doing several takes some of the guests would be a lot funnier than they end up being. There's been one or two that haven't been into it at all. Kamara just seemed completely into it.
