Holy Doughnuts! posted:I've always loved Milton Jones since I saw him live, once, years ago, for about 5 minutes, and I think he's consistently really good on Mock the Week as well. That man works hard. There are a LOT of episodes of The Very World of Milton Jones. Tsaedje posted:He was on one podcast or another and told an anecdote about himself and Harry Hill before a gig. Hill, who used to be a GP before he went into comedy, told Jupitus "if you want to see your little daughters growing up you should probably think about losing some weight". Jupitus gave the impression that he thought that was out of order. I heard that. I think it was on Robin Ince & Josie Long's Utter Shambles, which is an excellent podcast. I don't think Jupitus thought it was out of order, he's pretty loving blunt with himself about being a fat gently caress. If you listen to the Perfect 10, he's constantly on diets and usually off alcohol too. slotbadger fucked around with this message at 13:33 on Oct 22, 2010 |

I think it was a recent QI, with the question about the "baseline specimen" of humanity that he said his body type was "a duvet stuffed with meat". I've never had a problem with him, I liked him on Buzzcocks when I was still watching it and his contributions to panel shows. I think I've only seen him do actual standup on "We Know Where You Live, Live!" when he did a good bit about who should have been Obi Wan in the Star Wars prequels.

At one point between takes he joked, "well this will be good practice for when the real one comes," and the medical consultant on the set looked up from his copy of The Lancet and said, "you're not wrong there, mate."

I'm not really a fan of Buzzcocks for reasons people have given here, but a friend of mine got tickets to the third show in this series so I went. The special guests were Jedward. What followed blew my mind and I'm very interested to see how it comes out for the 28 minute cut.

He steered away for Bela Lugosi's heroin habit for the first part. And his involvement with Ed Wood at the end of his career. 'Ed Wood' is a Tim Burton film that I really do love. I don't usually like his stuff. Worth watching if you want to find out more about the end of Bela's life.

Just been watching the second-division game on BBC2, and I can't help noticing that Sky's non-league converage has better production values. It's like they've given the camera to some random drunk in the crowd.

I've been enjoying this too. Last ep on monday, though it seems like it'll linger on the iplayer for a while. I rather like documentaries made by known celebrities when they REALLY know the subject and have a genuine warmth and enthusiasm. Joannah Lumley should do something about the history of the Gurkahs.

Is nobody watching Pillars of Earth? It's on Channel 4 on a Saturday, and it's based on a book about The Anarchy. It's one of my favourite periods of history and plus it has Ian Mcshane in. How can you possibly go wrong?

I caught Pillars on Netflix a little while back. It started out awesome, but each episode after the third was harder and harder to watch. Donald Sutherland and Tony Curran were both excellent in it, though.

Yesterday I watched the weirdest My Family's Crazy Gap Year. The guy was going to sail the Atlantic with his wife and child. I got three quarters of the way through it before I was interrupted and he still hadn't set sail and I'm pretty sure he had destroyed his marriage and spent all his money. Also at one point he built a flamethrower in case of pirates.

Figaro posted:I wouldn't mind but Phil Jupitus does little to justify his massive bulk. I can't remember last I laughed at anything he said. Is he still going on about tomatoes on toast on twitter? I used to follow his feed as it was semi-interesting but then he decided he was going to try/review every combination of tomatoes (fresh, tinned, whatever) and bread known to man and send an update with each one. About a week later, after numerous messages and a meltdown about people who left because they weren't interested I stopped following him.

I saw the one about the family planning to drive from South Africa to Egypt and they got about 2-3 days of actual travelling in before the absolutely stupidity of their plan set in when they flipped their jeep. They spent a few weeks at a school, had an awkward encounter with some tribal folk and then broken down again. After that they said gently caress it and quit. It seems like grand failure is part of the show.

When I went I didn't know they'd be on it, and when I saw they were I thought I'd have to be prepared for how annoying they would be. And they were very very annoying. And the guests went from gently mocking them to heavily ripping them, to the point where Dee calls them special needs versions of eachother (and cunts at one point too I think). There was a general level of disbelief about how...air-headed the pair were. But if anything, Fielding started becoming very protective of them, and even Jupitus starts being friendly with them as the show went on. Everyone just kind of realised, these are two young, excitable boys from Ireland who want to sing and be on TV, and that's it. The 'problem' was they had boring anecdotes, loved talking and couldn't follow the train of conversation; so they shouldn't be on Buzzcocks. Annoying yes, but nothing malicious. Being cruel to them directly just started feeling harsh. I never want to see them ever again, but I can't feel too strongly against a couple of kids who mean no harm. It's really funny stuff though, I'm looking forward to it. Fat Turkey fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Oct 25, 2010 |

ffff, what is the music playing on Masterchef right now? for iplayer folk, the last pro chef in tonights final, "the Dining Room", about 44-45 minutes in. Sounds like it might be Philip Glass? or maybe not? lots of arpeggios, repeated motifs, quite minimalist

Sorry to dig this up from a few pages ago...marktheando posted:I've heard America doesn't have them. So that would explain why American celebrities always look lost when they appear. Funnily enough, they tried to do a version of Have I Got News For You about this time last year for NBC, but it (unsurprisingly) never got picked up - http://www.theblacklistnyc.com/gotnews I never got the impression that Michael Ian Black or (the sadly recently departed) Greg Giraldo were particularly political, but I can imagine it have being funny. On NBC? I just couldn't see it gaining an audience. I'm split 50/50 on Americans doing panel shows... I completely agree with you as how how lost even sharp comics look when they come over and do Buzzcocks or similar. I'll tend to watch specifically for them, and see them get a few words out the entire episode and not really get the references going around. It's a shame, because it's a format we do well but with, generally, terrible guests. With the right mix of both American and British people (e.g. it was evident for a long time that Peter Serafinowicz and Will Arnett got along even before Running Wilde, and it extends beyond those guys) and a British production for BBC2,4 or C4 there could be a really good show created. Other than that, I think it's a format that's dead on it's arse the way it's going. I can't see it working on any of the American networks due to censorship, even Comedy Central who'll run things with bleeps but make everything too glossy. IFC, HBO, Showtime etc could develop something watchable under extremely low budgets and it could work, however.

That's what made me think it was Glass in the first place. If not this piece, his candyman score definitely has some similarities.
