I've only seen one episode if Him and Her, and found it pretty underwhelming and didn't really like any of the characters in it. Just so I know, is the one where they argue while having friends round for a night one of the better or worse episodes of the series?

There was good poo poo in there but far too many of the jokes had become formulaic and predictable, in the earliest seasons it felt like a show about people, then a show about funny ideas, by 6 it was becoming a show about one liners. 7 was dire, 8 felt like a fat old rockband on an unconvincing comeback tour, and I gave up after that because it was just getting sad.

It's pretty consistent, so if you didn't like one episode, you probably won't like the rest. Also "the one where they argue while having friends round" could describe any episode.

I was dreading the return of Red Dwarf, and decided I wouldn't bother with episodes 2 or 3 after the 1st one confirmed my suspicions. From what I hear, they were even worse than the one I put myself through. Avoiding them wasn't too hard at least, and at least being buried on Dave means I probably won't hear about it too much and be tempted to watch.

Wow BBC3, great investigative journalism there Fluff show about botched beauty treatments, one chick got hair extensions that were too tight and ended up taking lumps out of her scalp, other had a dermal piercing that went bad and the salon spent two days trying to dig it out of the back of her hand. On the first day where they failed they just sent her home and asked her to come back the next day. After getting professional opinions where the hair specialist said the scalp damage was indeed from the weave and the hand surgeon totally and utterly condemned untrained salon spods poking around in the tiny nerves and muscles of the hand, they get to the "confrontation". Only the piercing guy actually gets interviewed. In the course of his interview, he blames the victim, accuses her of waiting too long between amateur surgery sessions, admits to MULTIPLE instances of his own poking around in peoples hands (which the trained surgeon said was a really bad idea), says he doesn't think surgery is necessary in such situations (when the surgeon disagrees), excuses his workers sending someone home with an open wound without even suggesting they go to A&E. The interviewer utterly fails to call him out on ANY of this bullshit. The weave one is even better, just a prepared statement saying "totes not our fault!", which they read out unchallenged I know BBC3 is lowest common denominator shite, but this is just crap.

On an episode of So Wrong It's Right - I can't remember which one - Rufus Hound gave a really good bit about how a lot of magazine/news shows pander to this idea of balance, and that that was diluting the worth of those programs considerably. SMBC also did a thing on it. It just makes for really predictable and bland programming. I guess an institution as large as the BBC - with an audience to match - is going to be paranoid about poor representation.

SMBC also did a thing on it. Read Flat Earth News, it concisely explains why "unbiased" journalism isn't real journalism at all and at best was and is just a gateway to let lies, disinformation and propaganda be reported as "news". For example, every truthful view on a subject also has to have an utterly bollocks view reported in order to remain "unbiased".

When Frankie Boyle made a crack about H from Steps's empty diary I expected him to ask Frankie what his diary looked like. Also on last night's Buzzcocks, Phil Jupitus didn't recognise the album cover from Windowlicker. Shameful.
