10 O'Clock Live was a definite improvement on last week. The only real weak section was Mitchell's interview with Campbell. Hopefully they'll let Mitchell develop his interviewing against easier guests. What was the 'Police Afraid of the Dark' bit about?

Paperhouse posted:The mobility wheelchair thing was shite, even worse is I remember that the last time they introduced a new cast in the first ep there was a similar thing where a guy was being chased while riding a skateboard Was it genuinely funny at some points? That's what was great about the first series, there was actually quite a lot of comedy. Metrication fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Jan 28, 2011 |

also something funny about the new cast, my brother was an extra for some of Skins and apparently the rich girl is a bit of a diva irl. Something about her throwing a tantrum because nobody would go and get her a packet of crisps

So the headline comes off as saying the police are afraid of black people.

I think Skins has the potential to be good. As long as it steers clear of already trodden ground but keeps it somewhat realistic (A revolver taken straight from Dirty Harry being owned by a teenager, who somehow knows how to shoot it, with bb pellets as ammunition) then it should be okay. e: can't spell Cokeysmoke fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Jan 28, 2011 |

Psybro posted:More people have seen the Brass Eye Paedophile special and understood what it said about news media than think Chris Morris trivialised child abuse. British youth are taking sides, and this show can capture the zeitgeist if they have the bollocks, which is all Channel 4 has ever aimed to do. Think of all the wonderful comedy that came out of the Thatcher years, well, we're back there. This has legs if it keeps improving. I agree, honestly, and I know at the end of the day it's a bunch of popular comedians riffing on things what happened. Littlejohn doesn't care about dragging stuff into the limelight by the collar and giving it a good shake in front of an audience, though; he'll complain about these liberal comedians scoring points in front of the scabby students for cheap laughs and not letting the man finish his sentences  'Police afraid of the dark' is about their reluctance to patrol certain parts of a park past 8PM. Could be dogwhistle, though, and I'll bet the author knew it.

I thought 10 O'Clock Live was substantially better this week. I don't think that David Mitchell needs to do a Paxman to interview someone. Slimy shits like Campbell and that Professor do a good enough job of showing themselves for the vile people they are without needing to have someone shout at them and creating any kind of sympathy for them, and it's completely fine to do what they did tonight and make snarky jokes about them afterwards. The timekeeping and pacing seemed a lot better this week too.

Quite enjoyed Skins, and I hated series 3 and 4. I'll take Franky over Freddie or Cook or any of those other dickheads from the last lot. I can't even remember the girls (apart from batshit Effy). Hopefully this one will be more like the first two series.

To be honest I'm finding it both better and worse than the last group at the same time. Some of these kids are just awful actors and none of it particularly excited me but at least there weren't any fart jokes.

Skins has always had a few in it who were not good actors though. At least based on the first episode these characters may be way less annoying than the ones from the previous cast

Korendian Leader posted:Letting the person you interview dominate the proceedings, spout outright lies and patronise you and your other guests without any resistance, followed by a few meek jokes being their back is 'completely fine'? If it's obvious that nobody is buying it (as I thought it was), they can feel free to spout whatever obvious bullshit they want it only paints them in a bad light. If you do a Nick Griffin on Newsnight and just constantly take the piss out of someone and barely let them get their disgusting views out for everyone to see you just end up with a martyrdom complex. I would wager that most people watching 10 O'Clock Live know Campbell is a detestable lying poo poo, they don't necessarily need someone to shout at them. There's multiple ways to interview people.

Dammit, the ending of Skins won it at least one more episode. The whole finding your true friends was cheesy yet adorable (also, way better than skanky Effy/Cook sex) and the music at the end was awesome. Why don't I have it in me to let this show go?

In Question Time, who was that wildly ignorant oval office, wearing the 80's shoulders and the smug look of dim witted superiority, on the far right of the panel? Every time she spoke or was in shot of the camera I really just wanted to punch her face in, and that's not sexist because i'm going by her rules so she's loving earned it.

I would wager that most people watching 10 O'Clock Live know Campbell is a detestable lying poo poo, they don't necessarily need someone to shout at them. There's multiple ways to interview people. Seriously, I think this is a terrible opinion, and this kind of thinking is the major problem with the show. Letting someone paint themselves in the best possible light, then having your carefully chosen audience jeer at him because they all already disagree with him is not enough. You don't necessarily have to be aggressive, but you do have to be interrogative - find the hypocrisy and bring it to light, confront them the poo poo they try to gloss over, etc. Letting them talk and then saying "well very nice, but everyone watching knows you're a poo poo anyway" is a massive cop out. Why bother with the interview then? That approach might work if you want to bring on absolute clowns like Nick Griffin and play poke-the-retard, but not with anyone remotely interesting. Cambell is loving professional PR man, he's not going to hang himself if you give him some rope, he'll do the exact opposite. The professor was enough of douche to look awful on his own, but honestly no one did a particularly good job of really showing the problems with his viewpoint. And someone completely impartial would think Cambell looked great. Honestly, there's probably a massive queue of politicians wanting to get on this show - you look ballsy as gently caress for coming on an "edgy lefty satire show", then come out of the world's easiest interview smelling of loving roses. Coulson'll probably be on next week. Tl,dr: letting someone paint themselves in the best possible light and counting on the audience already being on your side is not good enough. The producers think it is, which is why "Funny and liked by the audience" is seen as impeccable credentials for an incisive political interviewer.

On another note, it seems to be Whale Hunting Month on the BBC. First a Sperm Whale on Human Planet: Oceans, then a Bowhead on Bruce Parry then a Narwhal on Human Planet: Arctic.

Everything she said was complete drivel. Pointing out that control orders only apply to people we don't really like and using that to dismiss criticism of them is just bollocks. People care about control orders BECAUSE they apply to people we don't really like. At least we got a decent performance out of Will "Oh gently caress the lot of you" Self.

Paperhouse posted:completely agree with this, I think skins is guilty of covering the same ground a number of times and also of being too melodramatic and just not like how real people act or are. Obviously it's not going to be hugely realistic but some of the stuff that's happened in previous series was just loving stupid and smacks of bad writing I was impressed with last night's episode of Skins, it played everything pretty straight and didn't seem like it was trying to outdo previous seasons in terms of craziness and drama. More normal people in it, as others have said.

If 10 O'Clock is just going to have interviews where experienced PR men walk circles around the interviewer, and pull in a pantomime crowd performance with people shouting over eachother for the terrorist detention discussion, then they may as well give up. They can't have it both ways; it's either a politics discussion show or it isn't.

I have no idea why these people talk about being too embarrassed to go to their GP with their terrible bisected vaginas/prolapsed rectums/warty penises, but will quite happily go on national telly and flash them to the world. It's baffling. I don't understand why or how they live with these problems for years. Especially the bloke walking about with a hernia the size of a newborn baby hanging off his abdomen  Surely the first time you saw it poking out and wobbling gently you would be like "Welp, time to see a surgeon"
