Don't care about the young'uns, but Mortimer and Phillips will hopefully make it worth a watch.

The line-up of the series just gone lacked somebody who'd get angry and indigent. Hopefully Mortimer and Watson will be sufficiently argumentative. On other news – Spooks: The Greater Good has hit Netflix.

Given the Beeb have failed to deliver any suitable replacement I think it's time they admitted they were wrong and bring it back.

Trilobite posted:I don't know; if he is, I haven't seen him do it. He's the guy who hosted We Need Answers (with both Alex Horne and Tim Key!), he's got a Radio 4 show, and he's been a guest on a fair number of radio and TV panel shows. That was a great show. NI-produced I think? They did a few great shows in Belfast that were hidden gems on iPlayer and never got shown nationally.

Did anyone watch the new Crystal Maze? I thought it captured the spirit of the original pretty well, although the Crystal Dome looked a bit budget (no moat!) I loved Ayoade's Golden Hand, an excellent prop and way to avoid actual human contact.

Ayoade is a great pick for the role. The celebrity contestants were like 60% annoying though. Hopefully it'll be more fun with regular folk.

His weird hand thing is weird. Is that so he doesn't have to touch people?

Yes, almost certainly; besides avoiding human contact being a major part of his general comedic persona, I'm guessing the hand was selected as a fun little prop he can wave around to add a little interest to the presentation. I've never seen any Crystal Maze before this, but it was okay. (Maybe someday I'll get my dream show where Richard Ayoade and Noel Fielding team up to solve mysteries.)

So I watched it and the only thing I could think was: 'this is some cheap ripoff of that 90ties french show fort boyard.' Checked wikipedia, and indeed, it is. I love Ayoade, but this is a bit too annoying to watch for me. Your dream show sounds good, though.

I super enjoyed the small touch of him just walking off at the end of the show as quickly as possible as the team celebrates.

If you have a spare hour, watch Storyville: Tokyo Girls. It's mostly all  / then ends up  when it ends up with businessmen getting all dreamy at the group made up of ten year-olds.

Hey thread, I have to apologise for doubting your recommendations again. Fresh Meat is loving amazing. Blasted the first two series this week, gonna smash the others. Vod loving rules, Oregon's loving rules. So does everyone else and I miss Sabine. Also I can still hardly loving believe Josie put a loving hole in someone's loving face Helpful because all my weekly shows have essentially hosed off recently. I hope JP gets his orgy eventually

Yeah.When the guy who said he had a mediocre life later said he quit his job to start his own business there was at least the sense the of some self awareness but that quickly came crashing down.

Visited my grandmother this afternoon and had occasion to go up into her roofspace to find something for her; while I was there, I found some old books which used to belong to my dad and uncle when they were wee (amongst other things - my grandmother and late grandfather kept their books up there and I didn't realise Hal Lindsey had written so many End Times prophecy books  ). Anyway, here's some of them: (I'm not sure what "Big Television Books" were but found more than one.)  (I haven't the foggiest what "Woodbinda, Animal Doctor" was because the Wikipedia page is literally one line that says "Woobinda, Animal Doctor is a 1969 Australian TV series produced by Roger Mirams." and nothing else.)  (Was Dad's Army popular with kids in the 70s?)  Sample page from inside that one:  (I know three of these, one of which I can only get as far as "The guy who played Perry Mason".)

They look like fairly generic annuals published by World Distributors (Manchester) if some light googling is accurate. Your standard TV tie-in book that people buy kids for Christmas. Woobinda looks like it was some 1970's kids tv featuring white people who've adopted an Aborigine child. I'm betting well-meaning but now hilariously racist. The theme tune is pretty boss though.

That's cool but you are really bad at making your camera device focus on what you're actually looking at instead of the bookcase in the background!

Went to a Taskmaster recording last night. My first TV recording experience! Was a fun time. It started late as hell because during the previous recording Alex Horne got a massive nose bleed. They also swore a ton. Whoever has to edit that is in for a good time. I also got a round of applause for being from Luton as the warmup act attempted to find out who had come from the shittiest place. I always take Luton's position in these rankings extremely seriously.
