I love Darkplace so much. They even added things in the background you probably wouldn't notice first time through, like extras hitting their marks early, smiling at the camera, that sort of stuff.

The Fades was alright. Reminds me a little bit of Good Omens but without terry pratchett's wit. I'll give the next episode a try and see how that works out. I like it in that it's a bit different from the usual stuff on but in some ways it's just an attempt to get the younger audience through the supernatural angle and not done too well. Fresh Meat was also, just alright. Not particularly funny and I wondered why they wasted time on certain plots/characters, especially when the writing is meant to be by someone from Peep Show. I'd say Jack Whiteall is the best in the cast as he comes across as that kind of guy, so its nice just watching for that kind of caricature. I thought about Fresh Meat more than I did The Fades so that's that. Also a lot of the OOO AWKWARD/poo poo GROSS stuff isn't that bad and in not really pushing it that little bit further it kind of falls flat.

Anyone else think it was funny that after a teacher got accused of assault - grabbing/brushing a girl's shoulder - on Educating Essex, an allegation that was taken VERY SERIOUSLY INDEED, at the end they show him swaying gently with his arms round two boys' waists? Apparently 'side-hugs' are permissible within regulations, but it still seemed quite ironic to me.

Maybe I'm being a chippy northerner, but I've just been watching University Challenge and one of the questions was knowing what Underground lines certain stations are on, how is someone not from London supposed to know that?

Oh hooray, they've commissioned a new series of Lorraine Pascale assembling shop-bought ingredients and calling it cooking. Absolutely incensed by her "swiss roll bowl cake" which she dared to call cooking, when it basically consisted of soaking some supermarket swiss rolls in rum and then filling the middle with shop-bought ice cream. She could at least have either demonstrated how to make a roulade or ice cream, not cheated on both. Lots of nice expensive location shoots too for her to gawp at chocolates in foreign places. She must get Brian Cox's airmiles.

The Tube is a regular feature in Uni Challenge and every pub quiz ever. You'd be advised to revise. It's not even that obscure. Last week they asked for the only Welsh train station with 'junction' in the name.

Well, the theme tune to This Is Jinsy still sucks. Here's hoping that maybe the rest of the episode won't. Edit: Apparently BBC3 turned this down after the pilot. I still resent them for turning down Biffovision, but at least someone there has some sense. ChuckDHead fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Sep 26, 2011 |

Taff posted:Bollocks, forgot to sky_ this. Any good? I've seen three episodes now, and I certainly wouldn't say it's laugh-out-loud funny. Or even chuckle-out-loud. Maybe on occasion it's quiet-smirk-worthy. In theory, I want to like it. The general setup is kind of interesting, a strange totalitarian version of Craggy Island, with maybe a twist of Royston Vasey without the League of Gentlemen's overall air of menace. The problem is that overall, I feel that it prioritises general far-out weirdness over actually having jokes or really funny dialogue. It tries to make everything a bit odd, even down to the character names (Sooson Noop, Joon Boolay, Sporall, Arbiter Maven), but there isn't much to laugh at beyond things being a bit weird. Even the show's placement is a bit of a mystery. Why is it on Sky Atlantic? It doesn't fit in with the channel's ethos of "show a bunch of popular shows from America", and Sky One's recent self-funded comedy push has mainly taken place on Sky One. The fact that This is Jinsy isn't getting to sit alongside the mediocre likes of Mount Pleasant, Trollied, and the upcoming Spy (can't judge that yet, but the trailers aren't promising) suggests that they don't have much confidence in it.

Llundudno junction, OBVIOUSLY Though only a fix if one of the universities was Bangor (where you can't avoid going through it if you go by train, which most people do 'cause it's one hell of a drive and the coaches are poo poo. Also it's where the only cinema within easy reach is)

I don't know what happens in it or what they are talking about but I definitely want to watch them all do it more. I've seen some episodes more than once and on second viewing it was like a whole different episode!
