Did anyone dare to watch 'omg with peaches geldof'? I was just flicking through the channels and saw this weeks was about furries. Jesus christ. I'd watch it as I imagine it's pretty funny/sad, but I can't stand that stupid bitch.

Somehow me and my girlfriend ended up staring at it with our mouths open, alternately shouting at it, her usually about how awful the person on the screen was, me usually at that 'TV Psychologist' woman being an awful poo poo and an embarrasment to her profession.

It's car-crash telly. The best description ever.

I watched a little bit of it with my gf, and it was shockingly bad. I mean, I'd seen the adverts begging people to text in with their problems that make their pals go 'OMG!' and I knew it would be pretty crass, but it's more abysmal than you could imagine.

The bit I saw was some prissy pink princess girl (who we both thought was a pastiche anyway) who turns out to be a vampire at night!!! It was just so depressingly mundane that I think even the live, slack-jawed studio audience could barely disguise their boredom behind their prompted applause.

So, it's not even 'so good it's bad' telly. It has no merit. It is poo poo.

And your TV licence went towards that.

I'm at odds when considering whether the populace as a whole has good enough taste to be given a choice when it comes to which areas of the BBC their licence fee goes to.

For example, if people were given a choice for where their payments go, would we inevitably see more guff like Peaches Geldof Dancing Outside with Doctor Who's Stars on Radio 1? Or would we see an actual rise in the quality of items being produced.

Clearly, some people at the BBC need their heads examined (especially if this Peaches crap is on the air yet Radio 6 was at one point for the axe :psyduck:), but what can we do?

Well, your license fee goes to the BBC.

BBC staff get paid by the BBC.

BBC staff then go and purchase goods and services.

The producers of said goods and services more than likely advertise their products on ITV.

ITV gets paid by the producers of said goods and services.

So, now you see how your BBC license fee is helping fund terrible ITV programmes starring Peaches Geldof. It also happens when you buy a KFC or a packet of McVities biscuits or a tube of Aquafresh too.

I was confused with the lot of it. Although i'm not surprised it's being renewed seeing as how it's pretty realistic (if Jeremey Kyle is anything to go by). You've got one guy who's mates with 2 birds, one of them is the widow (with a kid) of his dead best made and he's banging them both like it's a game of shag tennis.

I don't think I've ever watched it for more than a couple of minutes. It seemed to have millions of episodes though, I remember Simon Amstell talking about it being a program of quantity rather than quality.

Also, where the gently caress is series 4 of the The Thick of It?

It's a loving abomination. Geldof is a poo poo host and sounds thoroughly bored at the whole thing, the other ensemble of presenters just about hold it together but can't hide the fact that they don't like what they're doing. Although the irony of Peaches Geldof fronting a show which had an item on fame and people being famous for gently caress all did get a little grin out of me.

I'm watching the first episode online right now, and I feel kinda conflicted. I actually think the concept is pretty ace, trying to show off these different lifestyles, kinks, fetishes or whatever you want to call them. But the execution is just plain bad. And y'know, Peaches.

Wo-Gan had me absolutely spluttering with laughter (who did the voice, by the way? Kind of sounded like Rob Brydon's impression), and it was great to see Brooker tackle the news again. Is that the last one?

As far as I could tell, the voice of Wo-Gan was done by Peter Serafinowicz. He's known for doing a VERY good impression of him, and has done it on panel shows and the like.

I didn't realise Wo-Gan was Serafinowicz, I love that guy. He's hilarious in basically everything he does ever.

That's what I thought, but he wasn't credited as far as I could see (David Mitchell and the DJ guy, who evidently was really a DJ, were). Don't think it sounded like Rob Brydon's. I think Brooker and Serafinowicz move in the same circles though so that seems most likely.

No, but this bizarre goth who liked drinking her own blood glugged this little bottle of it dry then seemed to try and stare her out. While having some sort of sexual moments.

And in regard to the furries, they presented them as bunch of people who like to dress in fursuits, go out, bounce around, hug people and generally act silly. Which would be fine if that was all furries were, but I can just see some innocent person thinking that looked neat, getting involved and things going squicky fast.

...The girl furry was pretty hot though.

The worst part was the TV psychologist who's basic reaction to everything was "you like sex? Get help!"

Just had to close ITVPlayer after 20 minutes of the first episode of Peaches Geldof's thing. It's just terrible. The first vampire was just someone who dressed like a goth, but with a more elitist attitude. The second vampire looked like a man dressed up as Kate Bush, and she was a weirdo. I don't understand why everyone was shocked when she drank 10ml of her own blood though, I never thought that was a big deal.

Is the furry one worth watching, or is it just a bunch of furries justifying their awful lifestyles for 45 minutes?

There's only 10 mins or so of the furries in the second half, and if the vampires made you rage then this will probably give you an aneurysm. So I'd say no.

The piece I read in the Guardian made out that he responded (and that Baker asked it) as if it were more along the lines of "how do you manage to sleep at night with all that pressure?" rather than "there's blood on your hands you monster".

I guess we'll have to go back and watch it to actually find out.

True story - When I was a kid my family was on The Big Breakfast as the family of the week twice. During this period I apparently had a brawl with Peaches Geldoff. I wish I could remember it, I hope I punched her in the face.

Also Chris Evans covered my 6 year old self in a bag of flour. One day I will get vengeance.
