Hey, does anyone know anything at all about Wallander season 3? A friend of mine adores Kenneth Branagh and eats up absolutely everything he does, and she's been bugging me to find out about the next season.

Thomas Wanker always gave me a laugh when his name popped up in the Buffy credits.

Strawman posted:I'm guessing you're not an AIOTM fan? I haven't really listened to it, tbh. Listened to the first one and it didn't grab me. Keep meaning to go back, though. When I said self-indulgent, I was thinking more of those Robin Ince/Josie Long podcasts where they'd get guests on and literally not say what they were famous for before everyone tried to show how smart they were. It was fine when it was someone like Stewart Lee, but there was one where I got around half way in before I knew it was one of The League of Gentlemen they were interviewing.

Isn't Herring's Edinburgh fringe podcast still on iTunes? It will be like that again - some good episodes, some bad. But it's a comedian interviewing a comedian so there's obviously a level of self-indulgence in it. That now that he's married obviously he won't be as funny. /excharliebrookerfan

Nicky googling Louis was pretty amusing though. This might be really sad, but it's not as sad as the title of what's on ITV2 at the moment, Olly : Life on Murs. Brown Moses fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Apr 19, 2012 |

I felt really bad for him when they were giving him a (gentle) bollocking for making threats. As much as it's important that he knows how to interact with both good and bad situations, he shouldn't have to go through that bullshit at school. Poor guy.

The mother's boyfriend (can't remember his name but it was Glenn from the Thick of It) was brilliant. God his stand up was terrible though. Just an endlessly neurotic stream of consciousness with no humour involved, and what observations he did make about himself were on the level of a 16 year old. I never understand how somebody over 30 could be making a living talking about stuff like that and not just want to scream "I'M WASTING MY LIFE" and blow their own brains out.

Regardless of the fact that I find some of his standup enjoyable (at times, to an extent!), if I could be well-paid and successful making shallow observations to audiences across the country I'd be laughing all the way to the bank. Kill myself? I'd never want that swindle to end!

Kill myself? I'd never want that swindle to end! Yeah sorry if you liked some of his stuff, I didn't mean it to come across quite so badly. It just confused me because he left Buzzcocks to do something more meaningful and although Grandma's House is fictional, there's clearly a lot of himself in his character and his apparent desire to do something artistically worthwhile is one of the main themes in that. Then you see his stand up and it's just mediocre, derivative nonsense. Maybe he just wants a platform to share his insecurities with the world but I didn't think that anything he said was really 'new' at all and it all seemed quite self-indulgent in a very adolescent way. You're right about being able to make money from it and maybe that is his real motivation but I really do think that he's trying to express himself and might have to acknowledge the fact at some point that he just doesn't have as much to offer as he might have thought he did. That seems like a very odd lesson for a man in his 30s to learn.

Also we had this discussion on the last page. Grandma's house was pretty good I thought, that "I'm stilted in real life!" line was good (I wonder if he is that neurotic/detached in real life though.)

I really enjoyed it as usual, but I'm not sure about bringing back Clive. It felt just a bit forced and I don't know how they can expect to drag it out for even just six episodes.

I've always been one of those "I hate talent competitions on TV" people, but I can't bring myself to hate The Voice. Everyone is just quite nice to each other. Even if there's a rivalry, they're not hyping themselves up and talking about how they didn't enter to make friends, etc. Plus, it made me like Will.I.Am as a person, something I thought could never happen.

Snooker's back! Snooker's Back! The only sport the Beeb can keep hold of, Snooker's back! e: also, the latest trinket from the pillaging of Danish telly, The Bridge, is on right now. It looks pretty much exactly like The Killing if I'm honest. Flatscan posted:That happened for me when it was reported that he punched Perez Hilton. Shame he didn't actually do it.

No Steve Davis this year, shame, I like his old man safety game. It's a weird time for Snooker, Mark Selby as world number one just doesn't sound right. I guess late nineties old guard have to give in some time, and at least Judd Trump seems quite fun. I loving hate Shaun Murphy and I hope everybody else does too.

Is Murphy the one who looks like a giant baby ? I love watching Snooker, but I can't be arsed to follow the names. Although I will make an exception for Judd 'Viz Character' Trump.

I'm a snooker fan for two weeks per year as well. And I'm normally a calm and easy going person, but looking at Judd Trump's face and hair - and having to listen to the gormless monkeys that accompany him screaming "GWAN JUDD" after every shot - makes me fantasise about ferociously pummelling him for hours with a bat until his remains are nothing but blood and ooze.
