I kept expecting Konnie Huq to show up in that episode in a 'love is terrible, isn't that right love?' sort of way.

Too many loving sketches though. They're too long.

There were a lot of sketches, but only a few of them involved loving. :rimshot:

Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".
The news sketch was too long and the last one made me want to vomit it was so cringeworthy. Everything else was great though.

The best brooker episode so far of this lovely show which I like to think of as a new screenwipe. In contrast with the previous episodes I adored the sketches.

This is probably just shows how bitter I am. It's made my Tuesday.

Does anyone have a link to the clip of Mark Lamaar on a chat show(?), where he just tells a reggae star to shut the gently caress up/stop talking poo poo because he's spouting off about homosexuality being disgusting?

The chat show was The Word, the reggae star was Shabba Ranks, it was 1992. I believe this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVvXTNZKPSU) is the clip, but it's blocked. Best I can do.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
I mentioned this in the V thread, but due to a general lack of decent Sci-fi i was contemplating a massive box-set-a-thon of a couple of shows. So i looked up the original twilight zone 60's series and they're about £40 a DVD season, which is nuts because you can get the blu-ray box set of all 4 BSG seasons for £100.

Has anyone seen these pop up cheaper somewhere? I just find the pricing of it a little weird (although somewhat understandable as The Twilight Zone is the poo poo).

I've made a huge mistake.
So the BBC 6Music Mismanagement have decided that having acquired the highly regarded Radcliffe and Marconie, it'd be a good idea to restrict them to one freeplay per hour.

Grimey Drawer
Hmm. It IS the afternoon show, and the BBC can only accept so much change per decade, so you'd expect it to have to be "playlist focused". But equally, why take that duo and then put them there when you know you're going to restrict them?

6 music shines when the presenters can just play whatever the gently caress takes their fancy and randomly hold a cod-reggae week.

Are many of their shows outsourced to independent companies like this? I always assumed that unless it was a documentary it was produced internally by the BBC.

What is the Independent Production quota?

A: We have the statutory quota commitment to ensure that 25% of our qualifying transmission hours are independently produced and that the profile of the 25% reflects the wide range and diversity of our programming. The 25% quota is applied across all of the television channels and services combined. From 2005 there are also separate 25% quotas for BBC ONE and BBC TWO.

I went through a mini-obsession with The Twilight Zone awhile ago and decided I simply must have the full boxset. It's old right? Really popular too, surely it can't be too expensive??

Basically, good luck finding it for a reasonable price! :(

How TV Ruined Your Life and 10 O'Clock Live are like a one-two punch of crushing depression. They're even spaced out so by the time you recover from one and stop hating life it's time for the other.

The thing is, while the seasons may have 30-36 episodes, they're mostly 25 minute episodes IIRC, so you're getting less overall content than a regualr 20 episode box set too.

I'd hate to think of how much they'd cost if they ever got released on blu-ray.

Although it isn't a UK program, while watching this "Jeopardy! : an IBM challenge" I couldn't help feel a strange sense of Deja vu. (for those unaware, IBM has made a robot capable of competing in Jeopardy! and is pitting it against the game's strongest participants - You can watch it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ5VIq_Uvo )

Then I realised, we've already done this in the UK - in the form of Kevin from Eggheads. No human can store that amount of knowledge.

Elijah did a loving great job of being scary and vulnerable at the same time and the dialogue actually was intentionally funny. Looking forward to next weeks.

Burnistoun was a guilty pleasure of mine last year - the sketch where Rab throws a bottle of lemonade at a chav and becomes a small celebrity had me rolling. Definitely underrated - although you can understand why, towards the end of its series it did seem to waver in quality. Hopefully this series will be a bit more consistent.

A quick google search describes the show as "critically acclaimed" - is that true? was the show that well-regarded? My understanding was that it didn't do too well audience-wise. I remember having to introduce it on these forums as there seemed to be no talk about it, and that was after it's second or third episode.

What was shown in the screenings?
