Likewise, I think it's the music, it's a bit too... cliched? Twee? edit: Watching the third episode, not to mention long-winded, thanks especially to the typing thing for 'previously' and 'episode x', along with the recap, although that's possibly due to the fact that it's also being broadcast in America and they seem to be big on that.

Erik Huggers, outgoing director of Future Media & Technology posted:Radio and music will come out of BBC iPlayer, and we’ll develop a new stand-alone product He's saying that it will be cheaper to build a standalone music/radio player than to integrate with iplayer. I'm not sure how that's meant to work, but it probably comes down to budget shuffling rather than actual savings.

Nobody wants to have a multitude of different things installed to play different things. Iplayer is great because it has all of their media content on one site.

On the subject of BBC iPlayer, here's a pretty good French film available on it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00hq387/My_Best_Friend/

Akuma posted:Plus won't it gently caress up all the integrated iPlayer things on set top boxes and consoles and in tellies and poo poo? People would suddenly not be able use the radio content, and an additional app is unlikely... Yeah, I thought the entire point of unifying all of their poo poo and hiding away the old realplayer versions of shows they used to have was to reinforce the integrated iplayer brand. Then they could just have a single on-demand branding.

What does everyone think about Episodes? I like Tamsin Grieg and Stephen Mangan, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I just watched the first episode and the first 10 mins were seriously cringeingly rubbish "THOSE GAUCHE AMERICANS EH" crap, but it got pretty enjoyable by the end.

I want to believe that all the talk of Matt LeBlanc's enormous cock in Episodes was an extra meta-layer for the jokes about actors dictating the script, but probably not. It's watchable but I was hoping for more from pretty much everyone involved.

Episodes has it's own thread but it is not a particularly active one. I think it's decent, but the network executive guy is far too two-dimensional and basically just a plot device to get people mad at each other. Matt LeBlanc is definitely the strongest part of it, as far as I'm concerned. e: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted:Geordie Shore Won't you people ever learn?

gently caress reality TV and every arsehole who makes, watches, or defends it. It is the vanguard of the cultural death of our society.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:gently caress reality TV and every arsehole who makes, watches, or defends it. It is the vanguard of the cultural death of our society. The worst bit is when you remember that the people on reality TV have signed a waiver allowing the TV to broadcast it. I saw a bit of Tool Academy last night and all I could think was 'why?'.

I really hope How TV Ruined Your Life is more News/Screenwipe-Brooker than YHBW-Brooker. That post a few pages back, during the comedy awards, about how he used to take the piss out of the people in TV and is now becoming one of them is kinda true. With the idea behind it, we should be seeing him observing rather than participating, which is always good. As for Geordie Shore, I know it'd be a terrible programme, but I can't help but get a little excited at the idea because I recently moved to Newcastle.

Well this seems like bollocks. It appears that up here in scotland BBC2 is, at 10pm, showing "The World According to Robert Burns". gently caress you BBC, we already know about Robert loving Burns, we need more Charlie Brooker.
