http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15186116 Details by channel there. While this is down to Tory cuts, the BBC shares some blame for being increasingly manager-heavy and wasting money in the most unbelievable of ways. It's very sad

I do like the idea of putting stuff made for BBC Four on BBC Two where a significant audience might actually watch it.

Radio 1 Late-night shows from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will be replaced with national programmes. Sucks.

Since last month I think. You gotta keep up with what's going down in QCS man. There's a BBC thread, a Hitchhiker's Guide thread, even a Chris Morris thread. With about 30 posts between them.

Had honestly forgotten Big Brother was on. The press aren't even writing about it, that's got to signal the death of it soon.

I've always judged big brothers success on if me daft mam is still watching it, cos she'll always stick with it till she's bored or it gets bad or whatever. The fact I just skyped with her today and she didn't even know it was on kinda goes to show the success of Dirty Desmond's big venture.

They should have axed BBC Three entirely. Or at the very least switched it's budget with that of BBC Four.

I got on a lot better with this week's Fresh Meat (although after rewatching last week's I suppose it wasn't that bad). I enjoyed the buffet scene in particular.

I'm all for the change to the BBC2 daytime schedule. Means there might be something worth watching on now and again instead of programmes about buying and selling the antiques that i don't have or doing up my house that i don't have.

What is the reason that there have to be separate HD channels? Can't SD TV's handle a higher data rate or something?

Also, they ditched the live feed which strikes me as moronic; the gutter press can't spend all day watching it to obtain column inches for the next edition; they're stuck with covering the same C5 selected highlights as every other paper.

This is probably my favourite series of Big Brother for a few years. Something about it feels a bit more like the old days of it.

Crash BandiCute posted:This is probably my favourite series of Big Brother for a few years. Something about it feels a bit more like the old days of it. Since the mid-way seasons, the contestants have a sense of realism. The first few series were full of people who were either nice or thought they were nice/interesting, and thought they'd just win, only to have that brought down around them upon being evicted in the first week. As the show progressed, girls and lads would go in there expecting to be evicted, so they'd get magazine deals. Now we're so far past that, I think the current crop of housemates expect to disappear into obscurity instantly. They talk about what jobs they're doing/training for/going back to, a stark contrast to Narinda in series 2 ("after this they'll give you and me a show, Brian!") or any of the girls that followed, talking about the deals with Heat they expected to get. Also they get booze constantly in this one. They're getting on a bit too well, so that helps them go crazy. Louise Cliffe is unbelievably gorgeous. I recognised her as soon as her face appeared.

I have just finished listening to Alan Partridge's audiobook. I've always been a huge fan of Partridge so am slightly biased but this is up there as one of the best things he has ever done. I cannot recommend it enough. Hearing him talk about his work on The Day Today, how he met Glen Ponder, his divorce etc is just wonderful. I'm sure I looked like a special needs kid as I chuckled away to myself whilst walking the dog but needless to say, I had the last laugh.

Exactly the reason I went audio instead of Kindle. I almost got the Kindle one then realised that this is the perfect book for Partridge to read and I was right.

I picked up the hardback copy and a friend of mine picked up the audiobook, and I think the audiobook misses some good stuff at the beginning, namely the "Foreword" which is just a short, lukewarm recommendation letter from his boss at Mid Morning Matters.

The audiobook is definitely worth it. Actually hearing Alan finish anecdotes with the words "needless to say, I had the last laugh" is much funnier when heard than when read.

Brown Moses posted:I gave up on the Fades, the cast is just ever so slightly too young and annoying. I'm really disappointed with The Fades. When it wants to do horror it's pretty good, but then they mix in all the dreadful teenagers-doing-stupid-poo poo plots and it just becomes a mess. I have no idea what they were aiming for with the opening to this episode. Goofy 4th wall breaking recap -> creepy gory credits -> teenage lust with added orgasm-wings. If they cut anyone under the age of 25 and just focused on the Angelics they could have had an alright horror show on their hands.

If anyone's watching Strictly: It Takes Two, it is becoming increasingly clear that Russell Grant is going to become a fixture on the show, even if he gets knocked out of the actual dancing contest.

I dropped it after episode 2, the ghost monster stuff is ok, the retarded teenage melodrama really isn't. This could have been a show to fill the void of Being Human, but instead of aiming for the more mature 20 something demographic, they've gone right to the 16 year old bollocks and the only people that find that stuff entertaining are people emotionally stunted or idiots still in school.
