Ohh I wasn't actually asking if there were nice places, I live here in a small town myself. I was just taking a dig at Kin for moaning about Dundee, then Falkirk and then having a pop at Alloa too. Wait... 23 hours?!

Somebody should do a program about the towns in this country that aren't industrial wastelands to visit and possibly live in. And list why they are success and use other towns as an example what not to do.

Surprise, surprise, Dundee is a shithole, Falkirk is stagnant and Alloa is almost non-existant to anyone that doesn't live there. Kin fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Mar 3, 2011 |

"Four celebrities are spending a week living in a slum, to find out what it really means to spend a lifetime there." Well, if you only live for a week, I guess.

so I'm watching the end of a repeat of Air Crash Investigation and for some reason, someone thought it was hilarious to speed up the continuity announcer's voice to helium levels. Anyway, Mad Dogs is on, best not disappoint.

The end of Mad Dogs was pretty open and I'm hoping they get picked up for a second series.

I kind of like the open-endedness of it and leave it at that. Unless the second series replaces Ben Chaplin with Marc Warren, as I hate that twat. I would pay to see him get cut up with an electric carving knife.

I'm still annoyed they haven't officially confirmed another Discworld adaption. I'm sure they will get the next one right enough.

Once again, you can't get a single Tory representative on the tv without the phrase "the previous government did..." getting said by them. I really wish that these guys would make a whole segment on that.

Its no different than when any party gets in to power; spend as long as you can blaming issues on the previous bunch. Labour did it. The current lot do it. Labour will do it when they get back in.

That Carr sketch about the olympic logo was pretty appalling.

got round to watching how tv ruined your life, interesting to see Noel Edmonds single handedly invented ebay, napster and skype in the 80's.

The second series of Limmy's Show (BBC2 Scotland, iPlayer) is absolutely amazing so far as expected. Limmy is definetely my favourite comedian in the UK at the moment, and the show deserves to be on in all regions (loving Mock the Week repeats instead).

Yes, the first series was a little rough around the edges (but still great), but this series has been utterly sublime so far. I can't believe they'd rather show repeats of Mock the Week rather than something that's genuinely clever, funny and entertaining

Leyburn posted:Hardly sullies the whole channel though does it. You see more good investigative stuff on Sky than you do on BBC24. I think it does sully the whole thing. Kay Burley is absolutely vile. If presenters can be sacked for off-camera sexism or drunken phonecalls how can she keep her job? Everyone involved in that disgusting interview should have been sacked, and the fact that they haven't is a massive failure on Sky's part.

Your perception of reality has become so warped through years of sitting around and bathing in a huge tub of self pity that you are now mad enough to think that Stirling (the town whose high street consists of a McDonalds, a post office and an argos) is not that bad. It's a hole. A retirement village with added neds. You are a mental. Seek help immediately.

Reminder that Sky News tried (unsuccessfully, thank gently caress) to set up Richard Littlejohn as some kind of British Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly. They are awful. And if anyone here has Sky tv they are part of the problem and should feel terrible.

The other great thing about the return of Adam and Joe is that it means Joe has finished his film! Trailer here: http://www.empireonline.com/video/attacktheblock/ and Joe on Film 2011 here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00z61qr/Film_2011_with_Claudia_Winkleman_Episode_8/

But here's Bolton throwing a tired and emotional wobbly at Alastair Campbell on live TV which is always worth a laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gkHwU4DRA8
