FAT WORM OF ERROR posted:What happened? Last time I watched waterloo road I saw the fat kid from Grange Hill who tried to commit suicide by jumping face first into a pool was on it, that kid is doomed to play schoolchildren forever A long-serving teenage character died in her sleep of terminal cancer in her mum's arms.  I've been disappointed with the last couple of series', but that episode was pretty good. It does just serve to reinforce the unspoken law that anyone Tom gets close to dies or is seriously injured and subsequently disappears.

It really does get better as it goes along too, Episodes 5 and 6 have been truly brilliant. I said earlier in thread that it could be, but now I'm officially calling it - best BBC thriller since State of Play. (barring a massively poo poo climax of course)

Does anyone remember a show called Crisis Command? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_Command I don't think it ever got released on DVD and I'm finding it impossible to find any episodes now. We only had BBC2 at the time, but they ran the same scenario again with different participants and showed that episode on BBC4. Bet they still destroyed the north every alternate episode still.

Oh saying heartwarming things like all soldiers at some point are capable of rape ( technically correct, but not too wise to say) and on the current hot button about sexualizing kids, claiming little girls are being trained to seduce their fathers, and when a man with children politely demmured she rolled her eyes and said "oh well, there many ways to sit on a fathers lap and kiss him". No mention of the sexualising of little boys in their tight, tight shorts and delightfully muddy hands.

If you got rid of the bald one and Dara and changed the format of the show isn't that just Have I Got news For You? Shadow Line was really good. The second act was pretty intense, going to be interesting to see how it finishes next week. Anyone know if this is going to have another series or is it just a one off?

Hmm, so a childless man-hater doesn't believe that men can interact with their daughters in a way that is non-sexual. Colour me surprised. Greer is a horrible cartoon feminist.

Pennington posted:Does anyone remember a show called Crisis Command? I doubt you'll see it again because I remember one of the scenarios being a London terrorist bombing. The contestants had to make pretty scary decisions like whether to shoot down an unresponsive aircraft and when the tube lines started flooding they had to choose whether to try and save the people in the flooded lines or close the emergency doors to save the rest of the network.

Rolling her eyes and sneering 'Oh please' when the man tried to say he didn't want to gently caress his daughters frankly shocked me. But, lets face it, she always has thought of herself above and beyond anyone elses opinion and doesn't realise she is basically a panto dame at this point. This is not hating on true progressive feminism, just on the Millie Tant types. Trotting out the rape accusation against soldier was just lame ( also she would do well to remember we have soldiers of both sexes). Sorry for ranting, but it annoys me when people use vitally important issues as a shtick.

Trickjaw posted:I dunno. Rolling her eyes and sneering 'Oh please' when the man tried to say he didn't want to gently caress his daughters frankly shocked me. This isn't D&D and I don't want to go on about it, but I got into an argument about this after it happened. When she said that daughters act flirtatiously with their fathers, by which I mean not wanting to gently caress them but acting shy and diminutive (as demonstrated by the look-back-over-the-shoulder-giggle gesture germain did) in front of an influential male role model in her life that she is comfortable with, germain sees that behaviour as some sort of indoctrination into a society where women play a "weaker" role and men the "stronger" role, so when the father interprets it as act of cuteness (not in a sexual way, just ahww thats cute way) and responds as such (with a hug or kiss or whatever) she suggests it re-enforces the childs behaviour to act flirtatiously with all men, because she got a positive response to it and that, in her eyes, is a bad thing. The father who then said his daughters do it because they love him and has nothing to do with sex is obviously correct but he's missing the point, so when Germain rolled her eyes she's thinking "you don't understand that your daughter is learning a way to interact with men that makes her 'weaker' and you are re-enforcing this wrong behaviour." and also "I didn't suggest she wants to gently caress you, nor you her, moron and if that's what you think then how can I possible talk about this with you".

Snap, but I'll be hitting up the iPlayer for this week's episode when I get home from work because Greg Davies was on it. For the record: I think Greg Davies is wonderful and terrific and hilarious and his stand-up show transcended being the best stand-up show I've ever seen and is straight-up one of the best stage shows I have ever seen.

Lady Galaga posted:I dont really see how it will get another series, it looks to me like theyre rounding everything off Gatehouse deserves a spinoff - you could even do a prequel of sorts with Gatehouse and Glickman in the 80s buddying around the world. Sadly I think the viewing figures have been disappointing for the show, so it's unlikely they'd develop it further considering I suspect it's quite expensive to shoot by BBC standards.

It's became too repetitive and the fact so much of it is scripted makes it less funny. It's still fresher than HIGNFY, though. I think most people should reach a point when they get sick of every episode devoting 5 minutes to the smug grin on Ian Hislop's face as he boasts "Heh, aren't I ignorant of football, pop music and black culture  "

Christ I absolutely hate it when Hislop says something he thinks is hilarious then turns towards the audience and blinks like a loving lunatic. Paul Merton seems to have almost given up now as well, it doesn't seem like he wants to put any effort in.
