Tim Westwood's a legend who has made a greater cultural contribution to this country than most of the tossers idolised in this thread.

Leyburn posted:Tim Westwood's a legend who has made a greater cultural contribution to this country than most of the tossers idolised in this thread. my favourite Westwood quote is "Love the tunes, but what's up with the gay look" about Franz Ferdinand, and for some reason his reaction to being given a cup of tea in his MTV Pimp My Ride adverts was deeply hilarious. He's a caricature, and I think he's all too aware of it.

There can't have been even a hint of nudity in Heartbeat can there? Once, in a harrowing scene, the policeman was stripped naked, and everything past his neck, forearms and shins was soft padding in a stretch of material like on a child's baby doll.

Rapacity posted:Is this Royle Family episode new? God drat they lay it on with a trowel. Worst programme I've seen this year. The original couple of series were great with just the right amount of awkwardness. This one is like they showed the first series to the loving Krankies and told them to let loose. The problem is the format had pretty much run its course, but it was too popular to cancel and the writers didn't really have anything else going on, so the only option is to milk it until it's just a parody of itself.

Yarn! posted:I looked through the last dozen pages and didn't see any mention of Sherlock Season 2. It premieres on New Years Day in the UK and sometime in May on PBS. In the last few days the BBC has released 2 clips and 4 thirty second trailers. All of the clips are a bit spoilery, so if you want to save the surprise, don't watch. There's a separate thread http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3456098 but just a warning that as part of the spoiler policy they are not posting episode titles.

Especially the early stuff, the 80's bedroom programmers like David Braben and Ian Bell and the kinds of relationships they had with publishers, everything in those days was so slapdash. There's some great stories in the history of Games; Tetris: from Russia with Love is brilliant.

I like Miranda Hart whenever she's not acting. It's odd. I thought she was bad in Not Going Out and 'Miranda' is unbearable but whenever I see her on a panel show or something I think she's great

Did anyone watch that Behind the Scenes QI special? More specifically, did anyone see David Mitchell on it? Cause he was dressed as a loving pirate or something and no one seemed to feel the need to explain why.

Gameswipe really needed to decide whether it wanted to be accessible or niche. As it was, it was trying to be accessible while focusing on comparatively niche things, and didn't really work. I'd prefer that he goes with niche myself, especially since the last attempt at really "accessible" videogame TV was Gamezville, but I question whether the BBC would let him do that. Even then, he'll never top Videogaiden.

Look at film, they get by on Film 2011 and the odd spot on Newsnight Review or the Culture Show. And the general public's knowledge of film is 50 times bigger than it is of videogames. Asking for a regular, niche-interest videogame programme is like asking for a regular, niche-interest programme on boxing/dance music/dog breeding. People pay to see David Haye fight/buy Ministry of Sound compilations/watch Crufts, but the market could never justify commissioning an entire series. There's a reason this stuff is confined to websites and magazines.

I'm sure this is not a popular opinion, but I for one, am really going to miss How Not to Live Your Life. The last episode was on last night, it was an hour long christmas special that tied up the series really nicely. The show as a whole wasn't big, clever or even particularly funny most of the time, but I enjoyed it more than any other bbc3 show (though that is not a difficult achievement). David Armand is great and needs to get more work (remember him as the rejected rainbow rhythms dancer in peep show?). Thank god that Laura Haddock seems to be blowing up somewhat because I don't think I could take not seeing her on screen again, she is just breathtaking (although I do think she looked too skinny in The Inbetweeners Movie). I can't imagine Dan Clark on someone else's show (never saw that comedy showcase show he was involved in), but I hope he finds something else as well because there were some spots of brilliance in his writing and I still cared about Don even though he was a complete bellend. Anyway, are there any other goons who felt even a little bit the same about this odd little show? Fake edit: (could(I(use(any(more(brackets? ugh))))))

Yeah, me and a few friends watched series 3 religiously and I made sure to get all the DVDs last christmas and watch them too. Just checked when it was coming back recently and was pretty upset to see it had been cut - no real idea why, I thought it was fairly good as BBC3 shows go? I guess it was a bit niche as both times I "discovered" it were really by accident. The two crazy girlfriend episodes in series 3 are bloody amazing though and some of the funniest modern sitcom episodes I've ever watched. Not many shows can be that fresh by series 3, and he always made sure to get the right amount of soapy storyline stuff in there as well, while maintaining a lovely surreal streak. I'll be sad to see it go  And yeah, who can't love Don, even if he is an utter penis? Jonnty fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Dec 23, 2011 |

If that's the one about the guy who lived in his Gran's house (and silk robe) with his sycophantic friend and a teacher that he fancied and was constantly getting into awkward situations which played out in "5 terrible things to do in this situation" montages, then yes, I remember that. It was quite good, and now I wish I'd known that it was back.

I only ever watched the first episode of it, and it was quite simply one of the worst things I've ever sat through. However, I thought the single episode of Mongrels I tried (the first one, from what I can tell in the ep guide) was appalling and that gets raved about in here for some reason.
