Well in continuing my self hating personality by ploughing through the rest of season 4 of spooks i've noticed one little oddity. All of their news reports are being presented on Sky News. As a BBC show, isn't that a little odd? Or is it like something to do with The Bubble where they didn't want the public to see anything fake ever broadacst on a BBC newscast, whether it was in a self produced TV show or not.

I don't know the answer but just so you know it's not actually made by the BBC.

Akuma posted:Nah it's made by Kudos. They do a lot of shows for the BBC but they're independent. They also do Hustle and Law & Order: UK. Never knew that. I only really noticed it at first because it was the same news anchor in all the previous episodes and he was also doing the same role in Shaun of the Dead.

Heads up: Series 4 of Mad Men starts tonight at ten on BBC4 and BBC HD. I'm still catching up via the Sunday night repeats but I'm sure there are those of you who would want to know!

Did anyone catch the 'An Idiot Abroad' preview? the only 2 downsides were that there was to much Ricky involved and its still a few weeks untill the actual program starts! The preview was loving fantastic and had me in stiches almost the whole way through. Think it's available on Sky on Demand or whatever it's called.

I keep saying it, but Clive Anderson's burn against Morgan is one of my favourite things ever. "How much do you know about editing newspapers, Clive?" "About as much as you do." gently caress you, Morgan. You thought you could stand toe-to-toe against two of television's most ferociously intelligent and witty men? You messed with the bull and got the horns, kiddo.

"Heres hoping that Jordan remembers to put her underwear on before the cameras roll, or the programme is going to consist of two over exposed twats gawping listlessly at each other." Brooker on Piers interviewing Jordan.

Yeah this Derren Brown thing is just too much, it's not believable at all by this point. Once you learn that he fakes certain stuff for dramatic effect it completely taints everything he does like this and it becomes kind of obvious. Unless this is some sort of thing like the gambling thing where it turns out he's filmed 2000 people then I just can't believe it.

Kin posted:I was under the impression that Larry King was a highly intelligent individual as well as a hard hitting to the point kind of interviewer? I'd just like to point out that this is incredibly wrong. King is known for brown nosing celebrities and giving interviewees an easy time, especially when they have a sensitive topic in the news. Which would probably explain why Morgan got the job.

This Derren Brown thing is such a cop out, they could have at least done a vomit comet style situation rather than a poo poo simulator.

Does anyone else feel like the end of this Derren Brown thing was like The Game? Much more tame, though, obviously.

Derren Brown's countdown is on!!! In the next 30 days he's going to follow someone else and make them a hero too!!! It could be you!!! on the condition that you've recently applied to be featured on one of his shows and had an interview with the people who make his shows and signed a legal disclaimer saying that the production company can film you at any time

BROWN BREAD TOP COP IN MURDER SHOCK A young policeman recently featured on a Derren Brown magic special was killed last night in a bloody shootout. Deciding to "seize the day" and live for the moment with no regrets, Mark Smith, 25, was gunned down when trying to tackle an entire warehouse full of arms dealers, on his own, in a dirty white van, armed with a bag full of party goods. "Tragic Loss" Viewers recently watched with delight as Smith appeared on Channel 4's Hero at 30,000 Feet, and appeared to land a plane on his own. A close friend told THE SUN - "Mark was a great lad, and in the past few weeks after passing his police exams was never seen without a smile on his face. I'm gutted". One onlooker at the scene remarked "He drove towards the warehouse shouting- 'I'll have you all, you bastards. Don't try and run or I'll be back with my crocodile next time'. Within seconds, the van was stained red". Derren Brown refused to comment directly on the story, but did state on Twitter just hours after the accident: "i give ppl a gift. nt my fault what they do with it after the cameras r off. the mnd is a pwrful tool." Smith is survived by his mother Sandra, 58, and his Jack-In-The-Box.
