Those bastard killer whales are trying to eat the lovely BBC cameramen now! (Or they've showing off for them, I dunno) Either way, they're far too smug and intelligent-looking for my liking.

I'm against property price porn in general and really did not take a liking to the "gently caress the year-long disruption and inconvenience to our neighbours, I want a nightclub in the basement" couple involved this week, but the architectural, bricks and mortar building process on Grand designs is always great.

That's the thing isn't it ? It's not really about prices with Grand Designs, it's the art and skill of designing and building homes. That and Mcloud being bitchy when people build ugly things.

One of the best parts of G.D. is McCloud's insults. He's so polite, so you get these artfully encoded slams.

I think this is the right place to ask this... I've been watching MasterChef Australia, and I keep seeing references to it being so much better/worse than the UK original. I want to test this out as fairly as possible, but it seems there have been zillions of different incarnations in the UK alone. What was the best series of MasterChef UK, or the best one for me to start with?

And yeah it's okay, it's not particularly clever or hilarious but for what it is it's an enjoyable show. I especially like Vod, that actress' delivery is excellent

The ending to Fades was good. Some questionable writing overall w/ regards to the relationships and their arcs but this was made up for by the quality present in other parts. My big contention was with the shock at the death of Jay. It's presented and elicited as a shock but the POV is entirely from what she means to Paul and how she relates to Paul rather than any quality in her own character, which I found hard enough to define at the best of times. It reminded me when the lady that could teleport died in Misfits in that she was brought in to serve the arc of the main character but without any defining features independent of this character. She felt kind of attached to raise the stakes somewhat. It worked, but it was very annoying to see happen.

I'm just watching Grand Designs now and my god these people... I think the best way to sum them up would be greedy, inconsiderate, and devoid of taste. The wife in particular seems intolerable. And those hats, those stupid loving hats. Good design for the building though, considering the limitations imposed by the stupid choice of location. The basement construction was very impressive. I can't help but wonder how much better it could have been if they had built outside of the city though. Lovely Joe Stalin fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Oct 27, 2011 |

I was completely underwhelmed by the first episode. The second didn't do much for me either, apart from the bit when Josie's boyfriend was being rude to Kingsley. But then from the third episode onward it's become really good and I've genuinely warmed to the characters. The Vod/Oregon relationship is really lovely, Howard is interesting, and Jack Whitehall is amazingly actually likeable!

I know, I was trying so hard to be scornful while we watched it but I couldn't fight it after the third episode - it turns out actually to be a bit alright and stuff. Gary tank commander is the best one in it I think (and his beat the buffet system is disturbingly similar to mine) I nearly shat my trousers as well when I realised that Vod had been in an episode of misfits which is this sunday aaaahhhh so close! meme posted:Edit: wormophile your avatar is freaking me the gently caress out, every time I scroll onto one of your posts I am hypnotised for a good 20 seconds.

If they're still actually producing the science and history stuff for BBC2 then ok, but I doubt it will be of the same quality and often niche but entertaining variety. That was always 4's strong point.

Kingsley and Josie are a bit dull but all the other characters are good and "Hi Jonathan, just had a hearters, okay now, slanty face" made me laugh pretty hard.

It's quite telling that in the episode in which she has her brains blown out, Jay doesn't actually have any lines on screen. She stopped being a character back in episode 2.

The current series of Rab C has been absolutely hysterical, far far better than I was expecting it to be. It's all been a bit over the top and mental, and all the better for it.
