Wallwyn posted:I haven't seen the show so this is just a guess. Since Swedish and Danish (and Norwegian) are mutually intelligible, my guess would be that they all speak their own respective language. Yeah, Danes and Swedes can typically communicate no problem, so long as you keep the worst of the regional dialects out of it. Wallwyn posted:Danish is a loving nightmare  This is old as gently caress but here's a Norwegian comedy take on it.

If we're posting foreign comedy now, here is my favourite clip. This one's from the Netherlands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUVrvOSDQ-s Yes, we've seen not much of that, Ted.

See on QI it might not be good, but he's done stuff like that BBC Animal Hospital with humans thing (just a hospital then) where he'd burst in on elderly people recovering from hip operations and ramble on about how lovely Sir Ian McKellan was in 1974. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPIfpp17GsY

If you haven't seen Flash Gordon then I don't know what to say. Seriously though, he just seems like an interesting character who has done a poo poo load of interesting things in his life. I find him pretty funny to be honest.

I didn't mean his acting. I just think it's weird that he's heralded as a lovable public figure by the same people that love Stephen Fry and David Mitchell and other people that are actually likable. He seems like the ultimate annoying hoorah Henry and I don't know why people find that type of personality appealing.

At times he does venture into that insufferable luvvie territory, but it doesn't happen often. He's just a remarkable guy, who has lived life to the full in every sense, has no regrets, and is happy to lampoon his past and his public image. The man made his third attempt on Everest at the age of 55, breaking records for the highest altitude attained without oxygen, then turned back to help a stranded climber. Just some poo poo he decided to do, with no media coverage or the usual celebrity bollocks. He's also the oldest person ever to trek to the North Pole. Be thankful he didn't bellow his success when there, as it would probably have reversed the Earth's magnetic field.

The final cuts to the BBC have been announced from the BBC Trust, who've managed to hold back on Shredder Thompson's ridiculously over the top carving up of the Corporation; http://www.bbc.co.uk/ariel/18089725Ariel posted:Most local radio stations will keep their own afternoon shows, and they will lose fewer journalists and reporters than originally proposed under DQF. The BBC Trust today approved the BBC's revised plans for English local radio as part of its Final Conclusions on Delivering Quality First. The trust agreed that local radio will now face cuts of £8m a year rather than the £15m that had been mooted by the BBC. Planned savings to content making of £8.5m have been reduced to just over £2.1m. The savings that had been suggested previously were 'disproportionate to the value of these services to their audience', the trust believed. Following protest from the public and MPs, the trust has concluded that only a 'very small' number of stations will share content in the afternoons - and these for operational or strong editorial reasons. All stations will, however, share a new all-England weekday evening programme with opt outs for live sport and local news. And further savings will be made from stations starting broadcasting an hour later than currently at 6am, with 5 live going out overnight. Sport and community output is to be more protected on local radio, but senior people will be at risk as the BBC looks to reduce management layers within stations. There will no longer be separate breakfast programmes within Devon, Three Counties, Wiltshire and Cambridgeshire. e: fixed dumb BBC article formatting Rude Dude With Tude fucked around with this message at 12:58 on May 16, 2012 |

So I got those Louis Theroux documentaries I was babbling about a few pages back and got around to watching them, has anyone seen/remembers watching the Thai Brides episode? This is creepy as gently caress. Namely the shady old guy in a twat-cap.

After I gave all of Louis Theroux's documentaries to my sister to watch while she was recovering from an operation, she specifically got me to watch the Thai Brides one just because of how creepy that guy was. He's pretty undeniably skeevy.

They are also re-editing Midmorning Matters into a 6 part series, 30 minutes an episode, with a second series planned. All on Sky Atlantic! The two one hour specials will be one based on Alan travelling around Norfolk talking about the places he loves, and the second is a face to face interview with a fictional book club.

I've gone a bit Alan mad lately. After rewatching the hilarious Mid Morning Matters I was jonesing for more, so I've been powering through KMKYWAP and IAP, and I, Partridge was my first purchase when I got my new kindle. After I'm done with all that, it'll be Saxondale next! Really happy mid morning matters is returning though. My favourite Sidekick Simon moment: "Mm, this wine really lingers on the palate." "Yeah much like a lazy forklift truck driver"

I didn't really enjoy the Discworld stuff Sky did, so I would be happy if they left it alone. The productions felt far too small to me. They had too few extras, the sets never seemed big enough, and, other than the odd scene, the CGI was awful. Also David Jason was never in a million years Rincewind. edit: I will happily watch anything anyone makes ever that features Alan Partridge, though. Except ITV probably.

Colour of Magic had a few moments that were good, but generally was pretty bad over all. Hogfather though is still one of my most favourite films ever, it's just perfectly Pratchett, right down to the production values.

Going Postal was pretty fantastic. It skipped a lot of stuff but hit pretty well on the things that mattered. Coyle was a great Moist, all things considered, and at the very least Andrew Sachs and Ian Bonar hit it out of the park as Groat and Stanley  They're working on Unseen Academicals, last I heard. Did that change? Always did seem an odd one to adapt. I'm still looking forward to it though.

Saw BBC3 is doing a Family Guy thing today, hosted by Robert Webb, and for some reason they've just started showing the first part of a two-parter immediately after showing the second. Not by accident, Webb acknowledged this in the continuity. Edit: good episode of Would I Lie To You tonight, particularly enjoyed Bob Mortimer talking about splitting apples with his bare hands, whilst David Mitchell quizzed him on thumb positioning.

It's taken me up to that post to realise it's a family guy night, had the tv on in the background and am so used to bbc3 pretty much being the animated rerun channel from like 10 onwards. Not that I'm admitting to having the channel on bbc3 or owt, I watch snog/marry/avoid for an important project okay???
