Nobody mentioned Giri/Haji here? I saw one episode yesterday while flipping through the channels. It looks pretty good?

I’ve watched the first episode, it’s good. Plan on the rest.

I brought up Giri/Haji a few pages back, I really really enjoyed it for the most part. Episode 4 is very cool.

He's been on at least a couple of episodes of Dave Gormans new thing.

He literally repeated a segment almost exactly across shows to the extent I thought I was going crazy till he acknowledged it. Guess you can do the same thing twice as long as you have different guests.

WotW has been stuck in Coming Soon hell since 2018, so it feels slightly weird that it’s actually here. I should probably watch it, but Rafe Spall turns me off.

I once posted on Digital Spy about the fact that I paid for Virgin Media for one room, but found if I hooked up a spare cable box up to the output in my bedroom I got the regular Freeview channels just with a card error message I had to ‘ok’ out of whenever I changed channel.

The general opinion was of disgust and how I should be ashamed for ripping off services.

Aside from What We Do In The Shadows nothing really has grabbed my attention that much this year. I am still hoping we get another series of This Country.

iPlayer sadly is more or the less 'well I am feeling nothing on my Netflix list' tonight choice.

Also I cannot loving stand reality television, even in a guilty pleasure gossip sort of way. I still lurk here but nothing much to say.

This actual child is 19 years old, this whole linkedin profile is the most ridiculous thing. Like look at you doing your loving work experience. Doesn't make you an intern.


e: If we're talking Apprentice, Thomas was very obviously toast from the start of last episode (with good reason) but I thought Pamela was going too. Not too sure why he got rid of Marianne instead, other than Pamela's business plan is better. Dean is really lucky to still be around. If Lottie wins it I will be irritated but she's a surefire interview ballsup firing, if she gets that far. I don't remember what Carina has done but she's getting away with it and I don't even remember who else is still there.

I'm certain Lottie doesn't win, but she's going to get to the end.
I'd assume Scarlett or....is she called Karina? will win because they're the "Normal" people who aren't exciting to watch.

I've been enjoying His Dark Materials so far. Not sure why they've included some stuff from the second book in this series, other than that the diversions they've made from the original material seem understandable and relatively unobtrusive.

I think the casting of Lyra is fantastic, exactly as i pictured her in my head while reading the book.

The first two books are parallel, not serial.

Yeah, if they matched exactly the books then any season 2 would get at least halfway through before Lyra popped up again. The appearance of Our World in the books is almost kind of a weird twist in that the second book just.. starts in our world with no hint of it ever having existed in the first book at all.

Could easily be offputting if you weren't expecting it, makes sense to start laying groundwork for it earlier on.

I’ve been watching Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, it’s politics are all over the place but it’s a decent character piece and well acted. But in the third episode in one scene there is a TV in the background, out of focus, that is clearly meant to be showing b-roll of some generic daytime television. But it’s not b-roll, if you pay attention it’s clearly This Morning with the Schof and Holly Willoughby, and they’re talking to that doctor they often have on.

They're really not. Lyra appears on page 20 of the Subtle Knife. They're not 100% sequential, but they're extremely close.

She always says she's an expert at whatever they're doing. ALWAYS.
And then is really confrontational about what's happening every single step of the way.
