The face Alan pulled when he crouched and his knees clicked killed me. I had to watch it twice. I think the end didn't really work very well, but the whole school segment was great.

I've watched that moment several times over since it aired, Coogan's face is so drat perfect when it happens.

Channel 4 are putting out a show called Mums Make Porn where some mums make a porn film then show their kids the porn film then broadcast the porn film on Channel 4 uncut(?)
Pretty ballsy to be showing hardcore porn on terrestrial TV a week or so after the Porn Ban comes in but there you go. Can't wait to have to buy a £5 wanking pass to watch All4 streams.

My old boss is Stephen on this season of Masterchef. I swear I don't remember him ever mentioning cooking the whole time I've known him. Seems to be doing OK from what I've seen, so good on him.

something something showing kids a more responsible side to pornography that respects women in an age when every teen has easily-concealable and nigh-instant access to the most depraved BDSM bukkake orgies ever conceived by humanity's most perverted minds.

Also, easy publicity from automatic tabloid outrage.

Nice try, asshole

Someone help me out please. Masterchef makes it look like all the contestants start at the same time when cooking for the former contestants or critics. I would SWEAR that once upon a time they used to show the staggered start times, with each contestant coming in at half hour intervals. However, my wife has no recollection of this and I can't find any evidence of this ever being the case, as older episodes have been impossible to find online. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I think they did that on some stages of Masterchef the Professionals. Maybe you’re confusing the programs?

Though a staggered start seems sensible so I bet they do do that and now edit it to look like they’re directly cooking competing at the same time.

Euro TV is pretty boring now from my experience, compared to what it used to be like, even Eurotrash might struggle for material nowadays. French TV in particular has become incredibly conservative compared to what it was like in the nineties (except ironically for the French version of "Naked Attraction") - when there seemed to be boobs on show at any time of day.

It will fail because the original Blockbusters was never meant to be funny and this new version is trying to force it.

There's a show on C4 called "Home" about an Asylum Seeker trying to live with Rufus [thing] from Hunderby. It's good, it's not problematic like I expected.

It must be difficult to choose a man on Naked Attraction. Flaccid cocks are pretty unattractive. I mean, they’re pretty gross in general anyway, but look much worse just hanging there under the studio lights.

It seems the best way to get picked for the next round is to have lots of poo poo leg tattoos. And not a single pube, cos that’ll get you voted off instantly.

There's two constants of naked attraction.
Firstly that people will say they're coming on to "pick someone different" then pick a person just like they always date.
Secondly that men are loving poo poo and you see some really horrible outcomes.

I've only seen a few eps of Naked Attraction (I say this fully prepared to be called a liar) but isn't the whole premise "What if people were paired up purely on looks and nothing to do with personality, would things work out???"

And from the few I've seen, they've basically proved that no it wouldn't. The dates were awkward or they didn't hit it off at all. Channel 4 have already destroyed their own premise. Unless I just missed all the ones where they fall in love

The dates work more than they don't I'd say. It's just the bit afterwards - they often live far apart or lied to get on the show and have partners already or all sorts of other reasons why it falls through.
