Those shots of their orange rice cake ought to be banned under obscenity laws. I'm most definitely making that orzotto this week too. I literally only know about this show because I know the Queen loves a lollly bit oh beef.

On the other hand, she's the dictionary definition of mutton dressed as lamb, and had no qualms about using her supposed brilliance with numbers and the trust the general public had in her to make some money off the back of desperate poor people.

^ I remember that. She was in a few ads for one of those scummy payday loan companies aimed at people who probably can't even spell APR, right?SeanBeansShako posted:I swear it is that bloody clock and the music that makes your brain panic, I'm quite good at Scrabble! I like how it's one of those TV things that's seeped into the national consciousness through osmosis or something. Like EX-TER-MIN-ATE or the Vision On gallery theme. Maybe the Antiques Roadshow music too? [edit] Rapey Joe Stalin posted:mutton dressed as lamb

so I could say that I finally figured out what this god damned cube is doing. Get well Lowtax.

And before the loan sharks she got sacked from Tomorrow's World and the BBC because she did a bunch of ads for (I think) washing machines while wearing a white coat and acting all sciencey. Though it was still a scummy move the way countdown got rid of her.

So, is anyone watching the new version of the gadget show on channel 5? I hate it already. The beginning recap thing basically showed that they are reviewing nothing interesting at all for the first episode. Camcorders? Rugged laptop cases? Shite robots? And where did Suzy go? ;_;

After never really getting into it, I ended up watching part of Dragons Den in work this morning. I'm addicted to it, some of these inventions are something else, how the gently caress is a shed with two locks on it an invention?

I watched the American version, Shark Tank or something stupid. They had a perpetual motion machine on. And they somehow didn't throw him out instantly.

This is exactly what I enjoyed about it, he kind of skirted the line between absurd/pitiful and horrifying in a surprisingly brave way. I wish the whole programme had lived up to that.

I have just struggled through 10 minutes of that Matt Lucas awards show thingy. It's so middle of the road I fear that the guests are about to get hit by a twelve-wheeled articulated lorry at any moment, which considering they include Germaine Greer and Louis Walsh would be a great result for humanity (as long as Clive Anderson can pull himself free from the wreckage).

Wait a minute, Holy Flying Circus gets a nomination and Black Mirror/15 Million Merits gets completely ignored? Now I get why HFC was such an indulgent pile of utter toss; they knew who the audience was.

Anyone seen any of that Morgan Spurlock programme on Sky Atlantic? The concept of him examining British culture sounded quite interesting although some of the guests have put me off wanting to watch it (Andi Osho and Ruby Wax for starters).

Haven't seen it, but the concept puts me off a bit. Same reason I don't really like Reginald D. Hunter, really. "My culture is different to yours" is fairly played out. It can be done well, but it usually just comes off like "white people drive cars like this" sort of jokes. Did anyone see Spurlock's film about product placement. Been meaning to check it out, but haven't gotten around to it. Not a huge fan of the "comedy documentary" in general though and didn't like his McDonald's film.

I tried watching one episode all about Love and it was terrible. Full of lazy generalisations and contrived differences. And I hated the Pavlovian audience that seemed to laugh at anything.
